Mr. Eisenberg. Have you compared Exhibit 754 with Commission Exhibit 133A?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. Yes; I have.
Mr. Eisenberg. What is your conclusion on the basis of that comparison?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. It is my opinion that it is the same picture reproduced on the front of Life magazine, which is Commission Exhibit 754.
Mr. Eisenberg. Does Commission Exhibit 754 appear to have been retouched in any significant way?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. Yes; it does.
Mr. Eisenberg. Could you show the Commission that retouching?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. Yes; I could. I might state that it has been my experience in the field of reproduction of photographs for publication, in which a halftone screen is made from which the photograph is then printed, it is normal procedure, and was at the time I worked for a newspaper, to retouch the photograph to intensify highlights, take out undesirable shadows, generally enhance the picture by retouching the photograph so that when it is then made into a halftone strip pattern for reproduction by printing, this retouching, if it is done well, does not show as retouching but appears to be a part of the original photograph.
This retouching is done either by brush or by airbrush, which is a device for spraying gray or shades of gray or black, onto the photograph. I point to the area between the legs of the individual on Life magazine.
Mr. Eisenberg. Could you circle that and mark it A on Exhibit 754?
