Have you seen a truly awful piece of Photoshop work? Clumsy manipulation, senseless comping, lazy cloning and thoughtless retouching are our bread and butter. And yes, deep down, we love Photoshop.
If it is commercial and awful then please let us know! Anonymity can be arranged for the easily embarrassed/canned.
Although I am hopeless at replying to email, be assured that each and every tip is followed up.

I don't get this one at all.
i think it's the mirrored cam on the surface...
And THAT is why I own a Nikon. The perspective on the rear camera is completely wrong even if you remove the reflections from the equation. Terrible.
I own a Nikon and Cannon. The problem is the add people not the cameras. Maybe the add people don't have cameras.
reflections have always been like this, you just see half the object. That's why I look so thin on the mirror :)
As a web designer, I understand completely what you are talking about with photoshop errors. They are everywhere! Love the site, great work!
Oi sou do Brazil,adoro o seu blog, parabéns!great!!!
The cameras were originally shot at such a low angle that just flipping them upside-down for the reflection would have been pretty convincing.
The real question is why anyone thinks a background of Detroit (even if it is one of the nicest buildings left) is going to sell anything...
Impossible foreshortening, great catch! Love your site, keep the good stuff coming!
Dude... it's a camera ad. You'd think that *they'd* make some effort to get it right...
@jayce: "And THAT is why I own a Nikon."
Really? THAT'S why? Not quality, innovation, dependability? But because Canon has a crappy ad?
I love this site. I wish the blog had a better design. (But its not big deal content is KING).
If you want to get this site on its own domain let me know. I would gladly help.
I hope none of the stuff I photoshop makes it on this site. hehe.
Keep up the good work.
@ Anonymous - At least Nikon make an effort with their ads! For me, this is just another black mark against Canon, I'm afraid, but then I am a Photoshop nerd and can't stand bad advertising.
Makes me hold my EOS Elan II Very tightly, and never want to let go (it's a film camera.)
Lol, I assumed that the error was the copy; "Quality is Just a Touch Away" implied, to me at least, that the camera is nearly a quality product, but not quite.
That was my first thought too: "Quality is just a touch away" from you, Canon, or you, add designer...
I am from Spain and I also love this blog. Superb!
The color of the "450D" label doesn't seem like it's the same color in the reflection...like it's from a different camera. Am I right?
LOVE this blog. This could become as big as PerezHilton!
this ad reminds me of chinese users manuals, does anybody get that feeling? is it the font or what?
Jordan: It's actually the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles...
This one looks like an inexperienced person did it (and, as usual, one who is not a photographer at all). At least they got the basics.
Um okay I am trying to be nice, here.
Anonymous is correct, This camera is known as the Rebel Kiss X2 in Japan, The 450D logo is clearly shopped on!
This is coming from a proud Canon 40D shooter!
The reason I like this disaster so much is not because of the absurd reflections, though thye do raise an eyebrow. Or two. It's the professed importance of "Quality", but the layout, typeface, image, background and palette all scream "cheap CNN ident, circa 1983". That should be "rejected cheap CNN ident, circa 1983".

No doubt! But the RenCen does look good...
Detroit? Looks more like the Bonaventure in LA, with a color wash.
@ anonymous:
It's known as the 450D in Europe, the Rebel XSi in the USA and the Rebel Kiss X2 in Japan.
It looks like the cameras might actually be vector images or cheap 3D models.
