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.

im scared the blond guy in the second row too...
Maybe it's just foggy. Or a portal to a magical realm!
i think that nike is a great brand that has lost its "perspective"
how exactly did they miss that the ground breaks off??
Someone with more patience than me would scan the crowds for the inevitable repeated, slightly shuffled around, persons as well - I bet.
Actually I'm impressed that they photographed enough people that the runner-cloning isn't immediately obvious. The perspective fuckup that the whole shot is based upon isn't so hot though....
It is the endless road. As well as endless runners..
The Amazing Race: Alternate Dimension
:D
So, whats on the 10th girls head???
aw, they already undo the disaster.
It seems to me still being there... No undo at all
where's wally...gone bad
Has the designer ever been anywhere near a 10K race? Or do they think that runners over 25, the ones with the money to buy their overpriced equipment, aren't cool enough to appear in an ad?
Or are the ones over 25 all in the earthquake zone?
the blond guy are scaring, but the girl at his side are a lot taller and scaring :P
Except for H & R Block, none of these companies has a sense of humor about these fails. Too bad.
Epic
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!
That's where that road is going. :S
well, they get kids to make their shoes. wouldn't surprise me if they got a kid to edit their ads....
This blog needs to be renamed "Photoshop Mistakes," since very few posts are actually "disasters." The batman-in-front-of-pole was clearly a disaster, but just because you can tell it's photoshopped, it's not a disaster.
That's not a disaster! Take a look on a screenshot of mail that Apple sent to all subscribers
http://img.skitch.com/20080726-nikqynppapy8qx9y5xc4pipyrx.png
You're all glossing over the biggest issue with this picture, which I've highlighted for you all here - always pay attention to large crowds.
@Jeremy McLellan: The batman-staring-at-a-pole was (really) bad art direction (=idiocy) at the most. So you see it's all about definition. And if professionals make mistakes like some of the ones posted here (including this one) I'd call it disastrous.
@romel: So what? Apple obviously didn't use the f*ed up version, but Nike did (take a look at their site).

Except that the Photoshop file extension is ".PSD" not ".PSM".
Incredibly uneven roads in China! :P
They seem to be stealing Sony's like.no.other line too
TSUNAMIIIIIII!!!!!
Or, in English...
TIDAL WAAAAAAAVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
But yeah, it's really messed up.
Why did the racers cross the road? Un...shouldn't they be running DOWN the road, instead of ACROSS the road? What a bunch of saps. I like the floating mountain, too.
We all can make mistakes :))
I love to play with photoshop. Check out mine.
The person in the front row who's texting is going to get trampled when the starter gun goes off.
Mind you, only half the people behind her appear to have feet, so it might not be so bad.
Epic edit failure.
I like the blue bandanna-wearing guy in the second row, to the left of the blond dude, who is turned completely away from the race and staring directly at the camera.
They could've photoshopped in a chicken crossing the road. teehee
there's a brunette girl with a white head band (( about the 5th person from the left )) doesn't have legs or the side of her body that's farthest from the camera.
If a 5 year old can make a shoe, he can work a computer.
So if everyone can count all legs missing and if people can´t look to the camera, why is this post pointing to a road that looks just cloned and in website isn't there http://www.nike10k.com.br/blog/2008/07/03/a-run-americas-agora-e-global-nike-human-race/, i just don't get it, you must have x-ray vision to see missing legs, i neither try to count them, most of photocomposition aas errors if they were disected.
it looks like they're all poised to cross a road (a 10-kilometer wide road?). doesn't look like a marathon at all.
They have fixed the image on the Nike+ site!!
too phunn-ee!
