Begun This Clone Tool Has
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.

Alight.com: No One Will Ever Know!

Obviously the description - No one will know unless you tell them. Shhhhhhh - assumes that everyone who sees you is regularly ingesting LSD.

Blonde & Blonder: It's A No Art Director

I usually feel that comedy movies get something of a free pass when it comes to Photoshop. The standard I'd expect from Vogue doesn't really apply to them.
However, I don't think I'm being unreasonable when I say that there has to be a certain point where you have to say "This is abysmal. The hopeless inadequacy of your work is insulting to even the stupidest people. Please stop now."
Thanks to Victor, original is here!

Rittal: And If He's Angry And Sad He's A Bi-polar Bear

You see the polar bear represents cooling, and it is three-legged to represent the, uh, quality of the cooling. Thing. Quality.
Thanks to Tim!

Cosmopolitan: I Wonder What He Was Originally Holding

Hi baby, how you doing? I'm just lying here toasting my buns. Yeah. Alright. Bet you're wondering why my hand is inexplicably intersecting this miniature copy of Cosmopolitan, aren't you. Yeah. Bet you're thinking that someone budgeted about thirty seconds to cranking this comp out aren't you, yeah, you bad little girl.

Kia: Ko Car Cluster

Sometimes the message in an ad is abundantly clear: Kia cars suck so much that they bend light.
Thanks to Buns!

90210: Ouch

Don't the producers of 90210 know that by flubbing at Photoshop they're putting at risk the hard-won sense of gritty realism that makes their inner-city drama so compelling?
Thanks to everyone who has sent this in!

Essence: Meanwhile In The Uncanny Valley

Remember when you were a child and you went to Madam Tussauds and every figure you saw looked like a store mannequin and your long-held faith in the ability of grown-ups to deliver on a promise ended? This cover is sort of like that.
Props to Cihan! Thanks to Young Black and Fabulous for the cover!
