Yeah, HP's not getting a cent from me after this announcement. I was actually considering a HP camera before I read this, but I don't want that "feature" on my camera.

Hey Cameron - did you steal this from the Public News section, then delete the original link to http://www.etre.com/blog/2006/09/the_hp_diet/ ?

I can see this backfire.. considering that it also "slims down" the background as well. I can't really see statues or buildings or trees shedding off those few pounds.

Not to mention I can see a whole new level of internet dating sites pictures... where the 350 pound woman suddenly appears to be 120lbs... until the first date. Where she coily says.. "You know cameras they shed 230 pounds"

Simon - No, I pulled this straight from 37s' site. Hadn't even seen the etre link.

Yeah Ed, if she slimmed herself down from 350lbs to 120lbs she would have to be 11ft tall.

I don't need that feature to make my fat ass skinnier ... that's what photoshop is for.

HP should improve their image qualities before adding new pointless effects. What wrong with being who you are ????
