[QUOTE=Wile E] How is “composite pictures” and “digitally enhanced” any different from “photoshopped” and/or “enhanced”? [/quote] None, unless you wanna nitpick. If a single photo was altered, but not combined with any part of any other photo, I guess it wouldn’t be “composite,” just “enhanced” or “altered.” > [@](#): > > Isn’t “photoshopped” used as a generic term nowadays for any kind of image editing, just like Kleenex is used for any tissue? Pretty much. I don’t use Adobe Photoshop usually, but if I said I “corelled” a photo, people wouldn’t know what I meant. ---

[/QUOTE] I just meant that in addition to manipulating the source photo, I believe there to be multiple source photos (which were then manipulated). ---

[Harry Potter and the mystery of Hermione’s curves](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=452961&in_page_id=1773) (a much poorer title); > [@](#): > > The makers of the Harry Potter films are at the centre of a row after a poster of teenage star Emma Watson was electronically enhanced. > > In a shot promoting the latest instalment in the series for Imax 3D cinemas, a profile of the 17-year-old actress, who plays Hermione Granger, appeared to have been made curvier. > > Yet in other publicity for Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, the same shot has been used unaltered. > > * * * > > Warner Bros said the enhanced image had not been approved: > > “This is not an official poster.

Warning! Irresistable straight line alert! [QUOTE=SCSimmons] You’d think that with a future-Oscar-winning guest star like Lindsay Lohan, they’d be able to do better. [/QUOTE] She was the best thing in that sketch. Which isn’t saying much, I suppose. Have any of those people even seen a Harry Potter movie? Hagrid is more than just makeup, he has a voice and a manner, and if you want to make a joke about the character you have to at least try to do the character! And that applies to everyone in the sketch. How sad is it that SNL can’t even do a decent cleavage joke anymore. ---

[QUOTE=Chronos] Um, how can you tell? That part of the left poster is lost in lack of contrast, and on the right, it’s covered by the title. [/QUOTE] Actually, I can’t, but…made you look! Made you look! 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/harry-potter-and-the-fluctuating-bosom/402789.md?page=3)
