HP's $300 Photosmart R937, like some other recent HP models, offers a "slimming mode" that, HP says, can put the subjects of photos on an immediately effective diet. Fuji's F50fd, also $300, provides a "portrait enhancer" mode that's intended to wash away wrinkles.

HP's photo alterations are more ambitious than Fuji's (and probably more in demand, given the hefty state of many Americans). To use the slimming mode, you take a picture as usual, then switch to the camera's playback mode.

Bring up the photo, tap the "Design Gallery . . . " button on the screen, tap "Enhance Photos," and then choose "Slimming." There, you can then select one of three levels of shrinkage to determine how much narrower the person in the shot will appear. The camera will save a new copy of your shot, allowing you to compare the original and the edited version back on your computer.

I was wondering if this would be the new answer to our obesity problem.

In some sick way I could see someone taking pictures of themselves, knocking off 100 lbs with that feature and thinking, heck ya, Im not overweight.

Now we just need a mirror that will do the same thing.
