Yes, they have been caught at photo alteration....
It seems reasonable that the late-in-the-game
replacement of Kopra by Bowen justified a
photoshop alteration of the crew portrait --
so what?
Even with Apollo-13, a day before launch they got the
new crew together for a Mattinglyless group shot.

I'm pretty sure this picture was made before launch... am I confused?
Here are the STS-133 images on the internet.
Sure seems as if Barratt's left side was touched up since in the original, Kopra was standing slightly closer to the camera.
Does anyone have really REALLY hi-res versions of the crew before/after shots?
