Los Angeles Times – Editor’s Note details the dismissal of Brian Walksi, former photographer for the LA Times. He produced an altered photograph of a British soldier directing Iraqi citizens to take cover by montaging two photos taken several seconds apart. The trouble is, some people appear in the resulting montage twice. Oops!

The L.A. Times has a policy that forbids the alteration of news photos, but one has to wonder just how much of this stuff slips by.

On a slightly lighter note, some some lighter uses of Photoshop can be found on the web.
