Magazine retouches Sarkozy photo

Paris Match airbrushed out the bulges visible in this original image
The French magazine Paris Match touched up a photograph of President
Nicolas Sarkozy on his US holiday, making his figure more svelte.

Leading news weekly L'Express printed before and after shots, showing
a distinct tightening of the area it called poignees d'amour (love
handles).

L'Express quotes Paris Match as saying the president's seating
position made the bulge look more prominent.

Paris Match said it had tried adjusting the lighting on the picture.

"The correction was exaggerated during the printing process," the
magazine told L'Express.

'Magic wand'

In the photograph the president is shown, bare to the waist, canoeing
with his son.

L'Express said Paris Match had "removed with the wave of a magic wand
the love handles that were slightly weighing down the figure of
Nicolas Sarkozy".

When contacted by the BBC, Paris Match declined to make any further
comment.

Correspondents say the French president's US visit this month did much
to improve US-French relations but was not without incident.

Mr Sarkozy scolded two US photographers trying to take shots of him on
Lake Winnipesaukee during his stay at a luxury villa in New Hampshire.

French media pressure on the financial details of his US holiday also
forced him to reveal he had stayed as the guest of two wealthy
families.
