This manipulation of the President for no other reason than purely the "SAKE OF MAKING MONEY WITHOUT HONOUR!" Only magnifies what we've seen and happen in the lack of ethics and honour, not to forget "GREEDY SOB's" in the money world and crises of today's humanity! Greedy people are running the world and oh boy have they done a great job! :-( No different than these lousy cheating two bit magazine photo manipulating SOB's. I believe there is a saying. "there is no honour among thieves!" Now we can add "there certainly is no honour between PhotoShop manipulators who use it for this type of nonsense." This type of action by greedy editors and their brainless lemming followers pulls those of us who've stood by the "Honour of being a photojournalist meant telling the and showing the truth in our photographs!" Where Photoshop is a "dark-lightroom" wonderful tool to improve certain situations, it doesn't mean "you create what isn't there as this magazine cover of the President has!" OK rant off because there will be those who will stand by the usual "right to do whatever it is in the name of "Freedom of the Press and all that inane B.s . t!" Now I'm off to the gym for an hour or so to work off my rage and anger about these bloody SOB's who've shanghaied our photo position as honourable photojournalists. Dr. ted
