Orange: Say Hello To George Cloney

Looks like Orange's video à la demande service doesn't do widescreen that well.

Thanks to Maxime!

Milk: It's An Olympic Thing

Let's streamline the comments a little by explaining that people don't usually have fingers growing out of their shoulders, no you can't do that right now, there's no such thing as a "stray layer" and sure, this blog is going downhill, but that just means we're saving gas.

Gold stars to Bob, Jennifer, Eric, Josh, Appfan, Sean, Jay, Maggie, Adam, Ben, Adam and Kimm (Kimm was first and gets double points.) Original is here; more fun at Deadspin!

Red Fin: Just How Bijou Are We Talking About?

The secret of great real estate photography is making a place look bigger, while dispelling the sense that you are about to be swallowed whole by a huge animal.

Vogue China: Going Out On A Limb

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

Vista Magazine: You Can Drag The Handles Over The Edge You Know

Hmm, nice picture. Oh it's a Mac and this is Vista Magazine. Well, Macs can run Vista, we could just comp it in. We can do that, right, being a magazine that is all about software? We have the graphical wherewithal to comp a screenshot into a screen, don't we? It isn't as though we're going to screw that up, right?

10 points to Superordi!

Thanks to Bess!

Sense & Sensibility: I Am The Poodle, Koo Koo Ka Choo

Although she wears bonnets throughout the movie, once the designer decided to somehow render Kate Winslet without a bonnet he was committed to the fast-track of fail, past the point of no return, deep into the uncanny valley. We salute you, mullet perm helmet guy.

Original here. Thanks (and kudos for perseverance) to Tim H!

The Sun: Gotcha

A charming piece of ethnic cleansing by The Sun.

Thanks to Jo and Alan!

Jimmy Bond: Artistic Licence Revoked

Q: Ah, Bond there you are. Now watch closely. By using common desktop software we can make your cranium about 50% larger than it should be.
Bond: Well I do like giving head!

Microsoft: You Must Be Off Your Block To Use Vista

Thank goodness this is the only disaster connected with Microsoft's Vista launch.

Props to J!

BBW: What Up, Beach?

In Buddhism, a sand mandala is a complex image made with colored sand built by hand, grain by grain. The process can take many days; as soon as the image is complete, it is swept away to give perspective to the profound impermanence of existence.

This image from Bath & Body Works is similar, except that it is made with Photoshop in about thirty seconds, doesn't look remotely like sand, ignores perspective, and represents the impermanence of employment.

Thanks to Lauren!

Pixar: We Suck At 3D

Yo Pixar, don't try to do reflections if you don't have the graphics chops to pull it off.

Thanks to Augusto M! Original here!

Hurriyet: No Expense Spent

Uh, I think we need to have a little chat about the thoroughness you're applying to these cutouts.

Thanks to Sermet! Original (was) here.

Jean Coutu: Still A Bit Too White

1. Picture of a customer, to show that we actually have customers.
   
2. Picture of a customer using a computer (to reassure people that that is the best way to use this website.)
3. Customer should be female, because men are useless.
4. Customer should be old.
5. Not that old.
6. She should be senior, and be full of life, but wrinkly, but smiling.
7. Less jowls please. 9% fewer wrinkles.
8. Her hair is too kempt. Is kempt a word? More unkempt please.
   
9. Hey this laptop isn't even turned on!
10. Is she left-handed? Is that good?

Original is here. Thanks to Amelie!

Mischa Barton Sells 99-cent Knickers

In a move sure to surprise even herself, Mischa Barton has lent her appearance to Tyrone, a purveyor of fine Dollar General quality undergarments. Ms Barton, who is usually associated with less diffusion-ish brands, declined to answer our phone calls made to random numbers in the LA area code.

Dlisted has the goods, thanks to Civiside and Michelle!

Gap (in-store): Photoshop Is Hard So We Gave Up

It's as if Gap's in-store graphics were really determined to get some Photoshop Disasters attention. The excellent Fashinfags leads the charge, New York mag follows up.

Thanks to Lynn and Julia!

Elle: Mariah Carey Reassembled

Oh dear, it seems Elle has been getting Carey-ed away with their Photoshopping. Dlisted and JustJared weigh in, along with Gawker. Where do you think her right other right arm joins her body? Freaky.

Thanks to the Psd Elle Monitoring Team: Alissa, JuliaGulia, Matt S, Roberto & Diana E.

Iranian Govt: Persian Pixels Pwned

Not only do Iran's missile pictures reveal a shocking gap in that nation's ability to use the clone tool, our patented Extra-Contrast-O-Vision shows how clumsy they are at comping. Presumably the third missile didn't go off and rather than trying to relight the touchpaper they resorted to Photoshop.

Getty has the original here. Reddit has an interesting discussion on this here. I haven't checked my mail yet, but thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Milk Development Council: Chopping It Out

So the Scottish Milk Development Council wants to do a "got milk"-style campaign. Good for them. Unfortunately the Scottish Cocaine Marketing Board muscled in on the art direction.

Thanks to David J! Original, and much more, here.

Amazon: Sex In The City Not So Much

Round 1: This is a hot, sexy product! Let's make the shots look hot! And sexy!
Round 2: Let's do this in a way that doesn't break Amazon's TOS.
Round 3: You can still see her ya-ya.
Round 4: If you don't make a picture we can use then you're fired.
Round 5: I neither care nor want to know, just run with it.

Original here! Props to Dustin!

CHEA: Let's Make Reality Fit Our Worldview

¹⁷ "As for Photoshop" the LORD continued, thou shalt not allow heavy pixelation for pixelation is detestable ¹⁸ And thee who might be having trouble cropping, shouldst thou push aspect ratios greater than 20% or so, thou shalt be stoned to death, for that is an abomination.

Zoo: Where Is The Outrage?

Making fun of Zootoday is like shooting fish in a barrel; it's morally wrong, but it's still fun.

Kmart: Toys For Children Slashed In Half

Kmart (the Oz variety) has a refreshingly direct way of getting kids to fit into their ads. Cut them in half. You're a fireman. Tough it out.
