Somewhere in Hong Kong a designer is reading this story and shouting "Ai yah!"

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.

how to cut and paste, ..for dummy ( chinese version)
how NOT to be a good designer
Almost like there was a person laying on their back that got cropped out...lol
How dare you.
This is the leg of the glorious body of the people.
It must be represented.
No other possibility may exist.
There seems to be some other artifact left in between the first and second women's legs too ...
that artifact looks to be part of the rest of the person who owns the mystery leg.... I can see the curve of a breast and a chopped-up arm, it looks like.
aiyah. phantom leg....is the hungry ghost festival coming up?
I think the shoulder and arm of the first model is suspect too - a dislocation making her arm look like that of an insects, grasshopper or locust or somesuch...
Looks like there was supposed to be another model between the first and second ones that for some reason had to be removed ...
OMG! Hahaha! That's terrible!
But I can't decide whether the photoshop disaster is more terrible than the outfits they're modeling!
The "aiyah!" thing is rather spot-on.
i like the way the very tall model on the far right is just looking down as thought wondering where all these body parts came from
China's Next Top Model:
"I'm sorry.. but you're not anymore in the running to become China's Next Top Model.."
:D
And maybe this was intentional, but the stairs don't line up behind the models. However, they do in the background at the top.
It looks weird too because the center model who has her left hand to the side of her face is "continued" into the other half perfectly fine. (Her elbow is sticking out into this area). But the stairs don't make sense... o.O
Maybe it's just me, and I'm sure it was intentional, but it's annoying to me.
It's the leg from the rasta boatman of the Sun http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/2008/07/sun-gotcha.html
Waa! What? That's really terrible. Man, how could anyone miss that? There are so many problems with it as a whole...
And to top it off, they look like they're about to attend a funeral.
(Kudos for the "aiyah" thing, since we actually do say that.)
they are. a funeral for that photoshopper's career. let's all take a moment and reflect.
Not to distract from the phantom limb (Which I gotta say, ridiculously bad) do they REALLY expect anyone to actually wear those stupid giant hats? Before the picture finished loading I thought THEY were the disaster.
You are sooo invisiblist, GOD!! This is just a model who is so thin you can't see her but hasn't worked out that leg as much as the rest of her body. GOD you are SO prejudiced against invisible people. Size zero is out people, invisibility is so vogue right now.
I guess this image is apt for the Olympics season, missing limbs.
Sorry. I had trouble finding the "disaster". I was too transfixed looking at those things on the two babe's heads....
The shadows are off, too. Look at the difference in the shadows of the arms, especially. Maybe the sun's in the same fractured universe as the stairs!
Wow...Yeah, this IS a disaster. I guess someone who was supposed to be taken out wasn't completely taken out.
(if you own HL2, Portal, or any other game with the Source game engine, and know how to use console cheats ingame, you'll get the following...}
It's like an NPC got "impulse 203"ed, but the leg stayed behind....eww...
i own this magazine and this shot wasn't in it at all! they used another one in the same setting...
What happened to the left arm of the lady on the far left side of the picture. A black twig pips out of her shoulder, masquerading as a bicep, only to curve into a graceful forearm that looks real, though the bend might be believable if she were, say, Stretch Armstrong?
