Coincidentally, this month's issue of NGS discusses digital manipulation of images in its editorial, and specifically mentions the pyramids issue. They have sworn never to do it again - without telling anybody. Stated policy is now to perform digital manipulation when it serves the image, and mentioned a recent article on the information age where a roomful of chimps were digitally protrayed pecking at word processors. Further noted that any digital manipulation will be clearly noted in the caption. Works for me...
