You can use an HP digital camera for their slimming mode.

Hard to believe this got the green light. A sad commentary on society perhaps.

When I asked the doctor if he thought I was too fat, he replied that I was just too short for my weight!

Too bad it would be politically incorrect to say this is what happens when women run companies. :)

That's too funny Don. :biggrin: For people who don't already know how to do this in PS, HP is going to sell a billion of those things. "A sad commentary on society perhaps" yes. Indeed.

So insane the features they come up with.... I still shake my head thinking about this.

Depending on what I wear and when I ate, I wished I had that feature. But then again, I don't shoot photos of myself that often. Usually its for family or social gatherings.

If they made an anti-ugly feature, I would buy one for self-portraits.

The DMV needs to get in on this feature!

How about a deaging feature? :rolleyes:

"...a deaging feature?"

Well, if you are getting old, at least you are getting something!

I want one!!!! But I`m going to hold it sideways and make them look twice as fat. It should sell well in Miss. ( The fatest state in the USA), I think it will sell well in Ga also, we are near the top. Just a part of the ongoing lard assifaction of America. Look at old B&W photos at the turn of the century and you see very few over weight people. I`m 54 and at that point in life where I have to make choices every day about what I eat to win the battle of the bulge. I have a bunch of high school kids working for me and some times I take the whole crew to the mts on our day off and I can walk all but one of them in the dirt. Now this has me hungry and I`m going to make a pan of homade biscuts, which I need like dirt on my sensor!
