Photoshop: How Would Your Presidential Portrait Look?

Using photo manipulation software, let's see what you would look like if it was your presidential portrait being released this weekend for your inauguration.

Barack Obama took the oath of office Sunday, renewing his vow to be president of the United States. Monday he will have a public inauguration with considerable more pomp and circumstance.

As the president who won a second term in office, his official White House portrait was taken last month and unveiled on Friday.

It shows Obama smiling in the oval office.

Given that Obama is the first president to have his photo taken with a digital camera, we're thinking we would like to have some digital fun. What would the portrait look like if you were the president?

To get started, we've included the original here, as well as a local editor at Patch and some dude who had a pretty good run as king. Using Photoshop, or another tool such as Gimp or the online photo-editing site Pixlr, take your mugshot and stick it above Obama's collar.

Afterall, anyone can grow up to become president, right?
