Slimming photos is easy to do
This is ludicrous.
HP have introduced a new feature to their latest range of digital cameras - slimming.
What it does is to trim the object at the center of the image (i.e. a loved one) to make it appear more slender. WTF?!?!?!
So while the reality of your holiday might have been of a pudgy, blotchy tourist in sandals scratching their bum while wondering whether to have another cocktail in a coconut shell carved to the shape of a monkey's head[1]; at least your memories of it will be a bit more svelt.
Compress centered subjects for a slimmer look

And check out those other features! Retro, Soft Glow, Vintage and Sky Color...
It freaks me out.
More and more we're being encouraged to modify our reality and our memories; to substitute it for something leaner, more soothing - better.
How can anyone be satisfied with a life like this?

They say cameras add ten pounds, but HP digital cameras can help reverse that effect. The slimming feature, available on select HP digital camera models, is a subtle effect that can instantly trim off pounds from the subjects in your photos!
