When you want to make a point with image manipulation, it's probably a good idea to keep it subtle. If you keep running unsharp mask until you start having LSD flashbacks then you've probably gone too far.
Thank to Andy B! Original is here!
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.

daaaamn! that hair can't be real. And did someone punch him in the eye?
my hair's doing that right now.
his hair looks like, steel or metal, ouch.
No PSD, that's what he really looks like!
Jeremy Clarkson described him brilliantly.
Ah! he's Scottish, some weird things like that happen to us. :P
What the hell? It looks like they got this picture part of the way through the Edward Gorey filter...
Holy hell. I actually physically recoiled from the screen.
Way to emphasize the disheveled hair! Unfortunately, now it looks like a woodcut instead of a photo.
WV: mankie
My son used to have one of those...
This is the reward for retouching at 50 or 25% zooming factor.
He actually does not look human in that picture. I wonder if Gordon really is an alien?
re Gordon's eye: that must be the one that got bashed when he was playing rugby as a teenager. He's been blind in that eye ever since then.
I like to think that the one who made this had an artistic approach
Well, this is the Daily Mail. Short of painting little snakes' heads at the end of each of those hairs, I think they made the point they were trying to make.
Bugger me! wv: venal! No fucking lie!
Wow. Powerfully understated comment, eh? Nah... in reality, yes, I think a PsD. But I dearly want to see a shot of Bush with hair like this... or Cheney. Perhaps with red eyes, too?
Hi, Here is other Photoshop Disaster
http://www.bocajuniors.com.ar/futbol/ficha/palermo-martin
why the designers can do it right?
And they used to say Bill Clinton had Brillo Pad hair.
His hair looks like it came out through the Play-Doh spaghetti factory.
Dario, what's the Psd at
http://www.bocajuniors.com.ar/futbol/ficha/palermo-martin
I don't see anything wrong with that image?
His left foot is on the ground, behind his right which is a little foreshorten because it's angled out towards us because he's swinging it wide to kick the ball. the only photoshop was to extract him from the background.
That guy must destroy pillows.
yaaah... i think we are begining to look too hard for psds. its an addiction. yesterday walking thru town i saw like twenty psds... no, not in magazines or posters or billboards, but on live people walking on the streets!!!!!!!!
No that's how our Gordon really looks. Honest.
@Dario
Im afraid you fail sir.
The image you linked is a bit of a mind fuck, but there's actually nothing wrong with it technically. It's bad design, but not bad artworking.
I probably would like to know which gel he has used for that metallic look and touch of his beautiful hair!
Jesus H. Christ that is *awful*. Or, to paraphrase Churchill, the greatest argument against free speech is 5 minutes reading an average British newspaper..
He has a gray shag carpet for hair!

This is a case of some *nasty* over-sharpening!
oversharpen much?
My God! When that happens to my photoshop project I step backwards and start again. Who decides if this stuff looks real?
Wow... that looks like Tim Burton's nightmare...
I don't understand. I can't even fathom why someone would do this.
Just when I thought the Daily Mail couldn't possibly get any shitter.
The readership will almost certainly find a way to blame this on immigration. Or gays.
It would be pretty kick-ass if my hair could do that! He looks like Tim Burton character.
The fact that the PSer didn't take the time to make the eyebrows match is the real disaster.
Daily Mail's been doing that a lot lately. I think they're using the images which have been corrected for print, online. Because of the nature of newsprint and bleed, it's normal to really oversharpen images for print. But for god's sakes tone a separate copy for the web!
Who ever has done that image doesn't probably know what is history brush and how to use it.
i guess they wanted to make sure it was in focus
wv: buressu
Gordon brown texture like sun...
FYI there is a reason the image looks like that. Depending on the process and the stock, that is more or less the correct amount of sharpening to add to an image for a newsprint run. With all the dot gain and ink swell etc., this image would look normal in print. Unfortunately some goomba insisted in using the image that has already undergone pre-press for the newspaper on the Internet. But it's not actually a PsD.
f*** me the Daily Mail AGAIN. No wonder it has such a reputation for quality and balance.
he couldn't afford a real toupe' and substituted it for a pad of steel wool.
