It looks great, yeah great. You know, one little thing. No big deal. But if you could make the top of her head smaller? Just the top part? So it isn't hiding the banner. Yeah, no, I know, but you know what, no one cares about the top of her head. Just make it smaller. Yes, I know. Just make it smaller. Just do it. I'm just going to go ahead and make that an order. If you could do that, that would be great.
Oh, and if you could make her shoulder disappear, that would also be great.

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.

That's a frikking ALIEN!!
Sadly, that's how small her head actually she is.
She's disgusting! Gross!!
I'm not sure - but is this not her face? She looks the same in the videos, don't think they photoshopped a complete video:)
It has nothing to do with good looking, that's a fact. And the shoulder - you're right!:)
It's not her head, it's her hair that's been cut away. The proportions of her face are as they should be.
Her shoulder is there, too. It's a pastel purple, the top-line goes between the the words 'Bands' and '6 Best'.
Monitor calibration; anyone, anyone?
What happened to her ears? They are cut off, that's the news!
Anyone said to that photoretoucher, that to isolate a figure from the background, there are other tools than the eraser?
Look at the borders of the hair! What a disgusting work.
Hi there
Just came across your site this morning and I wanted to say it's absolutely brilliant. I literally had tears running down my face from laughing at your commentary. Great stuff!
Her ears are there, she has wide cheek bones and the rest is in deep shadow, no news.
Wow. It's amazing this made it to print. There are no words. Jeez.
@Anonymous: Monitor calibration has nothing to do with it;), you're right with the shoulder, but I wouldn't like to stare on hour at a picture to see anything what's really there.
You're a tough defender, did you photoshopped this title picture?:D
What a cool site, I´m glad I found it.
@finwe:
No, I didn't create the image; I did, however, open it and boost the knock out the shadows.
Besides that, you can see where her ears are from the position of the earring.
Why do her ears need to be visible anyway, it's not relevant.
Wouldn't agree with that - ears are something natural, so why wipe them away? Did she had only one earring then?
If that's the case, this site will degenerate into picking holes in every single image in (or out) of print. And that's sad.
Hi there,
I had to give you guys this, were did they put her finger?
And why oh! why they took the thumb and left the rest, tha shadow in her legs are awful! She's from Big Brother Brazil 8
this foto is from the paparazzo site www.paparazzo.com.br

@xpz
Her thumb is inside the pants ... be realistic ...
She is a good looking alien!
maybe they meant for her face to be the same shape as a plectrum *laughs*
Just wanted to be the first to say, appreciated the Office Spaces reference in this one :-D
Sou do Brasil. Legal seu blog! (cool your blog... )
By!
Did anyone mention the horrible haircut on the right side under the words? Looks like someone just did one swipe and that was it.
I'm not sure about this (everyone seems to have a theory as to what makes this photo so damn creepy looking) but is it mostly from making her eyes freakishly large?
Hilarious!
What about the gigantic cyclops eye? That's got to be 130% of reality. I'm sure the microcephalous head enhances the effect, but no way is that eye the right size for anything older than about an eight-year-old.
Your blog has totally made my day- I adore bad Photoshopping, thank you so much. Waiting for baited breath for more!
Has anyone stopped to consider that yes, this might be a poor image, although it's not as bad as people are making out; if you overlay and compare other recent images of Madonna: but maybe, just maybe, it wasn't down to the person with the stylus in their hand.
Perhaps this blog should be renamed Photoshop (but could it also possibly be art direction) disasters?
Listen, I'm an Art Director, and I'm even not dreaming to ask my photoretouchers to combine such disaster in purpose ...
You wouldn't, no. Somebody obviously did.
Hi,
I was taking a look at your site, funny works. I tried to suggest this one by your contact link, but it seems not to be working, so I'll let my suggestion here.
I miss one of the most scandalous ones I've seen:
Do you remember the Daredevil movie poster? It's worth to take a look at it, specially because of the incredibly bad integrated perspective of the building with the actors that are supposed to be on it. I remember seeing the original flat-parallell angle photos in the teasers, too! I know it's a bit old, but it's a compendium of How-not-to-do for me.
Go on with your work, people.
See you! (And forget me for my english, I have it a bit rusty)

As a truly snarky site in the best sense of the word, you probably don't give a damn, but I am awarding you as having the Snarkiest Post of the Day for March 13, 2008. Amazing PhotoShop disaster, but the writing is what made it.
If you like, the award is here http://bp3.blogger.com/_T_92poZHMOY/R9wC5tRPTfI/AAAAAAAAABA/Go2liyz6lbU/S1600-R/snarkiestPOTD.jpg
I think her eye has been enlarged, her skin has been smoothened and her hair has been butchered. Shoulder doesn't mind me. It's there, even if the background color for the image eats it up. But thats one distasteful photoshopping, or then Madonna is taking her obsession for youth to new levels... That's creepy and disgusting!

She looks horrible. Almost like an alien from outerspace. I'm not kidding.
Hey, as a red-blooded male, I appreciate a little head. Especially from Madonna.
this mag cover looks almost intentionally disproportioned.
in which case i wouldnt include it with other photoshop disasters.
OMG, my band had a mini-featurette in this issue and I picked it up while we were on tour and the cover fucking TERRIFIED me!! I was like "AAAGH, MY EYES! How will I read our interview now?!?!" Thankfully I recovered and realized that if I avoided the cover I'd be okay.
My gosh, she really looks like a putrid alien in this! So noticeable and... unreal. In the worst of ways.
Absolutely amazing that there are some people defending this bizarro photograph. Sure she had some terrible cheek-bone implants put in awhile ago, but this manipulation is just hideous.
omg... on a few contract jobs I have actually had painful conversations like this with jealous 'art directors' (who got the job from daddy, I'm guessing, as they had no skills for the position)... Like: gee, buddy, if you were so great at photoshop WHY DID YOUR BOSS HIRE ME? That's what I thought, now back away from the computer, Sparky, and let a professional fix the photo after you mangled THE ORIGINAL with the clone tool, idiot! (Next time, do a quick "save as," genius!)
A friend just sent me a link to this post, and I just have to say, it made my whole day. So hilarious. Thank you!
Can't. Stop. Laughing. Thanks!
se doesn't have to stack any brains in her head so I gues that's why it's smaller.
Madonna's been spending too much time parading round her bedroom wearing heavy crowns and tiaras. I mean, she's got a flat head and, judging by her latest offering, she certainly didn't spend the time on her music.
HAHAHA omg my ex-boss sounds exactly like that!! I used to work as an advertising graphic designer...
Head shrinking aside, did they blimp up her eyes? A little too massive to look unaltered.
4 words: she's 50 years old
reality
Reminds me of those greeting cards they have these days of cats or dogs with certain facial features grossly out of proportion with the rest of the image. Like the face of a Chihuahua, but all that stands out are the bulging eyes. It is strangely alien-like as well. What a disturbing looking image. Just not natural.
LOL! Too funny. I can just see Gary Cole with a coffee mug in his hands... And what a great find, too.
Haha, that's definitely the worst thing I've ever had the misfortune to gaze upon. Not only do I hate Madonna, I also despise the wrong use of Photoshop.
People are now using this software for PURE evil.
This post title made me laugh until I choked. Runners up:
"La Cabeza Bonita"
"Take a Bow (and a prenatal vitamin)"
"Justify My Head"
For those of you who believe for one second she really looks this way, please have a look here
"Cheeks" Ciccone is one scary dude in that photo.
It doesn't look anything remotely like her.
WTF? Why bother?
The aliens are here, and they're queer, and they're ready to dance. Get used to it!
Umm, yeah. For those of you who think this photoshop looks normal, oooh... I'm gonna sorta have to "disagree" with that?
Kay... thanks...
It never ceases to amaze me that professionals at that level are sooo sloppy and lazy!!!
