When is photo manipulation ok?
In this case, CBS got in trouble for "slenderizing" Ms. Couric. But is it okay to remove gray hairs? Fix teeth? Hide a visible bra strap? Working in magazine publishing, I see a lot of this kind of stuff -- and some of it is necessary and positive. But in photojournalism, things are different. Where is the line?
Thoughts? (I know what I think, but I'm soliciting feedback.)

Funny story --
I had an internship at the magazine that manipulated this photo. I actually copy-edited the story... but it wasn't widely known that the photos were manipulated.
Interesting...
