Andy Roddick's arms ain't that big

The most notorious recent case involved pro tennis player Andy Roddick [at right] on the cover of AMI's May issue of Men's Fitness. Two months later Redbook radically altered the appearance of country singer Faith Hill for its cover shot. In October, Amaz0ns visitors read about InStyle Magazine slenderizing Jessica Simpson's arms, in effect reversing months of gym time invested by the singer in an issue ostensibly committed to celebrity fitness secrets.

There are two novel features to the Nordin image manipulation:

1. The morphs actually increased the apparent muscularity of a female model.
2. The images appear inside the magazine, not on the cover.

There's an excellent historical perspective at the somewhat-misnamed "Digital Tampering Throughout History" page.
