Very apropos our recent discussion about the Economist cover. Funny. From Abraham Lincoln's best friend, via Comedy Central, via John Nack on Adobe.

Colbert is a genius.
After seeing the woman in the original photo, though, I am still a bit confused.

Hi Mike.
If you take a look at page 37 of last week's Time Magazine, you'll find an image which to my eye is highly manipulated. The photo depicts the agonized face of a Greek protester being restrained by riot police. The face of the protester looks almost painted rather than photographed.
If it's not manipulated, it's my bad, and should be nominated for a pulitzer.

Wow! I thought I knew a lot of keyboard shortcuts. He never once used a mouse or a pen!

Keyboard shortcuts?
Colbert was manipulating the photo with his mind... which is something you can do with CS5, I hear.

Thanks anyhow, looks like it could have been good.
