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.

Perhaps they did this on purpose to add some sarcasm? I don't know how else this could have passed inspection :/
Lol, very nice! Greetings from Mexico!
Nice Blog!
Wow, some people do take to much drugs when working with photoshop.
Or the guy making this had a sudden case of chronic cataract.
A ridiculous retouching for a ridiculous "newspaper"
dont just point it out, ---, talk about it.
nice blog, i like it. I add you to my recomennded links
see you
I laughed at both the crappy picture (what were they thinking???) and her review on Resident Evil 4... I'm playing it when I have the chance to put my hands on my bf's Playstation, and I don't feel any more violent. Well, maybe I could shot the person who manipulated that photo with a bazooka, but that's all. XD
Great blog! Greetings from Argentina!
Ha ha ha, yeah, I saw this earlier today. The reason she hates video games so much is because she has a copy of Dead Rising lodged in her shoulder.
Maybe her shirt is made of black holes?
Sweet job ! :D
Hehe looks like someone slept at work. ;)
t to be a pest but.. can you ALWAYS label exactly what is wrong with the pics..because not all are very obvious, although i get this one
please be specific about what's wrong because as a non-photoshop person it sometimes takes me a while to find what's wrong
She also appears to live in a crazy tipsy house, at least to me, looking at the curtain rods behind her.
I'd be mad if I had a game lodged in my shoulder too. Love your blog, it makes me laugh.
I would be shocked if this were from anything but a BS news paper.
if you can't tell what was wrong with tht last picture, you don't belong on a photoshop site. Go back home.
Please be specific about what's wrong with Orange Blossom because as a non-psychiatrist person it sometimes takes me a while to find what's wrong.
Was she naked when they made this picture, and was the photoshop-person suppose to give her some clothes (and he felt asleep on his job) or what?
And what is with the background (the window right is higher). I wonder what was wrong with the original pict.
Maybe there is no Anne Diamond
Very odd, that. It's like the one with the footballers. Just what the hell were they trying to do? I can only assume that they didn't have any video games o hand, so they tried to photoshop some in afterwards. How they made such a botch job of that is a mystery.
Naw, they had to 'shop the games in to cover up the fact that even researching the games subliminally programmed her to constantly flash psychologist gang signs.
This is so incredibly awful that it is cool. I mean, someone got paid for this rubbish, right?
How funny is that?
I think that they photoshopped *out* the game boxes for some reason, to get a portrait of Ann Diamond. Then they saved over the original and didn't notice?
I also love the fact that when you read the article, there is a picture of two kids playing Mario Kart.
An article deriding violence in games that has a pic of MARIO KART (being played on the now defunct N64 no less)? Sheesh.
Even though I know photoshop pretty well, it would be nice to have rundowns of exactly what is wrong with every picture. For some reason, it makes it funnier to me, even.
Now THAT's a real disaster. Some of the others on your blog, not so much.
Perfect example of forgetting to "Save As." Perhaps the original picture is lost forever...
Looks to me like they liked the pose but not the facial expression, so they combined a headshot from a different pic with the hands and games. Then they forgot to put the games back in front.
Not true, as a former Photoshop pixel-jockey for a british local newspaper, I reckon they needed a cutout head and shoulders for the front page or whatever and asked the Image Tech to clone in some extra body that had been obscured by the games. He saved over the original (instead of creating a new one) before clipping the headshot out so when it went to print/web, it pulled out the doctored image for the main pic as well.
"Maybe there is no Anne Diamond"
That photo is such a collage, I think your wild theory is the closest to being true. This shot never happened.
the sub whos placed the picture for the website is in the wrong, 2 versions wouldve been saved, one with cut out of head and shoulders and one square up. The person making up the website used the square up with full crop and is an idiot, this image wouldnt have made the paper its just been picked up by the amateur doing the website, as for a photoshop disaster, i dont think so, I think whoever has made up the shoulders has done an OK job.
I am the anonymous 'former Photoshop pixel-jockey' of a few comments ago... I had to sign up just for this blog! You're right it's a decent job (especially when you consider the print resolution of newspapers and the size it will have been used at - I'd guess about 5cm wide at 150 dpi). It's definitely more of a subbing/web design thing than a true PS foul up
This has to either be deliberate on the part of the pshopper to prove his boss/editor is a complete moron, or his boss pulled the work out from under the pshopper and said it was fine as it was (proving he was a moron). My money is that this was not an accident.
they seriously need to fire the person doing these pictures, its not the first time for dailymail.
"their war on reality." haha
Christ, sometimes this guys wit makes me feel sick. It's like a robot or something.
Article:547008 Not Found
damn. a good(!) article gone cause of the blog :D
Holy crap! I see this stuff and it horrorfies me that someone has the job I want and can't photoshop themselves out of a paper bag. How unfair and cruel this world can be. Give me your job you idiot!
*artist grumbles*
I did a quick search for "violent games" and found the article, reposted. The picture has been fixed:
