Oh well, we live in a time when one is likely to be strongly punsished for what one might possibly do at some time, while people are let go for what they have definately done. Pat gave a presentation about this whole thing at GFM Camera Clinic year before last. It was clear then that he was being made a scapegoat of, because some editors were not willing to take the heat for they own actions. Though he never said that.
I can only say that I was impressed at Pat's ability to maintain his cool. If this had happened to me they would have had to pry me off the ceiling. Where I would have been screaming vituperations at all and sundry.

Here's an interesting editorial from ZoneZero about the controversy. It includes all three of Schneider's disqualified photos, both in their original and altered versions: http://www.zonezero.com/editorial/octubre03/october.html
Interesting. Thanks, Mark.
I took a quick look at the images. On my (uncalibrated) notebook LCD screen, it's really difficult to see much of a difference in the 2nd and 3rd image pairs - there's certainly less variation there than I get from monitor adjustments, or switching to a different monitor.
The first one is rather more controversial. I've done similar things myself, but not over so large an area. Does that make a difference? I don't know. Personally, if I'd done that large a modification, I would have made the background transparent (or white, perhaps) to make it obvious to anyone.
