It's real star quality when you can turn on a 400-watt smile for the cover of Marie Claire immediately after an accident with a threshing machine.

actually i think this isn't a photoshop mistake... maybe is just the optical effect of a transparent cube ring that Beyoncé is wearing.
I don't know that this is a photoshop error as much as an error in jewelry judgement. I agree with Luis, I think it's a ginormous cube ring.
Ya, it's a cube.
agreed - reflection or refraction in the cube
I feel like it's reached the point of saturation and we're running out of REAL disasters :(
oh, so she DOESN'T actually have claws? thanks for setting us all straight, previous commenters.
and btw, her FACE is a huge PsD. just look at her. love that Joker!
She was the bomb in Johnny Tremain,
Even if it's a weird thing caused by the ring, as I first thought as well, they shopped out her knuckles.
Does the ring even have anything to do with it? I thought it was because of her sharpened talons? O.o
Oh dear! Surely not another PSD failure?
"Beyonce in reflective cube ring shocker."
..but yeah, her knuckles have disappeared.
yep! definitely a cube ring... and another psd disasters FAIL
I agree this isn't a proven disaster. It's maybe lame, but it's classic photography lame, not Photoshop "put a limb anywhere and how about a third eyeball" disastrous.
Perhaps a stated definition of "Photoshop Disaster" is in order.
Anybody?
This isn't a disaster. I'm tired off all these lame "disasters". Unsubscribing, gl.
It's a disaster that they can't help but photoshop her so her tighs look the size of her arms, and thus make normal women feel fat, but I agree with the others who said it's just a reflection. If you wanna compare her real size to the pictured one, check here: http://jaded4good.wordpress.com/
her face looks like it has had some photoshop tweaks...either that or she is the new joker
Classic slow news day situation. I think that if every single instance of any photoshop work detected constitutes a "disaster," then the use of the word "disaster" is a disaster.
whether it's an optical effect of the ring or not, shouldn't it have been corrected before going to print? wouldn't that be the PsD? (i dunno... i'm ignorant...)
until I read the text, I didn't recognize Beyonce... her skin is so light... and yeah, there's that joker smile...
wv: dolower
i actually think theres no mistake on this pic, its just a tridimentional cubic ring
I think PSD's 'Cubegate' scandal has made a bit of a smokescreen to how bad this is.
- Why does this always happen to Beyoncé? Bless that girl, I can never recognise her. She's surely taken Sarah Jessica Parker's photobutchering victim crown now.
- Why so serious? (not the first time with Beyoncé on PSD if I'm not mistaken) - There's about 4 photos on here now deserving the 'Why so serious?' tag now.
- Are we assuming the thumb is completely hidden be the headline?
- No knuckles
- Her hair seems awfully clever not to go near her name. Looking a little brushed there.
Wow, do you people seriously not see the disaster here? It isn't the cube ring (that's just a fashion disaster), it's the rest of the hand.
I haven't been to the states for a while, but are you people serious? Women are wearing giant cubes nearly the size of golf balls on their fingers?
Definitely a terrible PS, but not because of the ring and not really a huge disaster.
LOL! I'm backlinking this!
This blog never ceases to amuse me!
she's wearing a ring
PSD has officially jumped the shark
What a weird way to put her hand...it's not on her hip, so she's just tucked her thumb under there somewhere...
I don't know if this is about the cube ring.
Look at that hand, it's flat and way over painted, it doesn't even have knuckles anymore! And yes, where the hell is her thumb anyway?
LOL at the 'cube ringe'ers.
Its not the ring morons, its the hand. <= CLUE
LOL @Daniel Pachinger
That is a true PSD.
Although this one is still a PSD, yours is def. better :D Although your description of its location was poor and could lead to someone not actually finding it. I'd probably describe that element as a 'carousel', or a 'slideshow', and it would be the 3rd 'frame', or 'slide'.
Yes, she's wearing a cube ring that's reflecting her fingers awkwardly. But look at your own pinkies, people - do yours go smoothly from first knuckle to hideously pointed fingernail without a ripple? I checked mine and there's two extra knuckles in between, which I think is normal for primates. Why they airbrushed out her knuckles is anyone's guess - perhaps the shopper was daydreaming, zoomed it to 500% and thought he was smoothing out a thigh.
And I'm beginning to think that Beyonce's smile really is like that.
@Daniel Pachinger: awesome! - that should never have been overlooked for a PsD!
I'm pretty sure this hand doesn't belong to this picture, maybe it's not even her hand at all.
I think her hand was in her waist and for whatever reason they wanted us to see it, so they just pasted in some other hand. And to hide it, they put that bracelet there, that looks like it's IN her hand. Plus that green textboxes to hide it a little.
lol @ Daniel and N
You are both true disasters, the floating bikes are on a bike rack that has been swung out from the back of the car, you can see the bar supporting them!
You must be amazed by all sorts of things!
I think the ring is PIERRE HARDY who uses "flat cubes" a lot on his shoes and accessories...
(example : http://www.geekpurses.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/pierre-hardy-handbag-cube-printed-clutch.jpg)
Apart from that, I don't see the big deal about the hand.

@dave: thanks so much for pointing that out. (serious!)
I am endlessly amused by the sheer number of people that bother to comment on OMG THE RING! NOT A PSD!! and not look at the rest of her hand. I bet the person who posts things things picked that selection on purpose just to see how many people would automatically go - that cube is a ring! duh - as if anyone would think it wasn't a ring.
Beyonce - completely line free. Not on her face, not on her hands..
are we looking at the ring?? Not really thinking it's a PSD.
WV: hymonie
HELLO people! It's NOT THE RING! It's the fact that each of her fingers looks like they've been put into a pencil sharpener!!
People are going to have to accept that all magazine covers have some PS done to them. But not every bit of airbrushing is a disaster.
You guys must be joking, the hand looks like a paper cutout and where exactly would the thumb go? The cube is the most attractive part of it if anything.
the PSD comments have jumped the shark!
I love this site, but seriously, look at a photo longer than 3 seconds before you post it as a disaster.
"Beyonce's hand doesn't look right in this shot, I don't like it. Put a ring on it"
It's NOT the ring, it's the fingers X-) gosh it's creepy!
Okay, a fashion disaster, not a photoshop disaster.
But, I want to echo Tori's comments. The real disaster here is that beautiful, bootylicious Beyonce has been photoshopped to be skinnier than a Barbie. Those twig legs aren't natural and her chest has disappeared. It looks like her head has been expertly pasted on the body of a 13 year old.
Compare this to any un-edited picture of Beyonce and the difference is glaring.
Yes, her smile is really like that. She has what my family calls a "Joker smile". I think it's that her lips don't quite extend as far as the corners of her mouth when she's smiling. My friend has a smile like that. It is a bit creepy. I just looked up "Beyonce" on Google image search, and every picture of her with a big smile has the same look. They're not Photoshopping her to look like that.
But she is definitely over-airbrushed, way too smoothed out, and way too thinned out. The ring was a big mistake, and the photographer should have noticed it. At least she's not 'shopped to look as white as I am.
The reflection in the cube ring doesn't make sense. I'm not even certain that the angle of the cube ring does, looking at the way her hand should be lying.
It looks like there's a fingertip reflected in the part of the ring facing away from her fingers.
These previous commenters are acting like this site owes them something. That is absurd.
paper fingers are the new trend.
Once again, it's got nothing to do with the ring -- it's the fingers that look like they've been sharpened in a pencil sharpener.
It looks like they may have put a different hand on Beyonce in that photo -- a hand that was originally at a different angle to the camera, and they manipulated it to try to get it to look right with the rest of this Marie Claire cover photo.
See here for a more normal-looking Beyonce hand:

Wow! My word verification is "fails" !
http://kittycleopatra.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/01768_beyonce_cliff_watts_photoshoot_04_122_426lo.jpg
LOL, word verification: bambi
argh. it's supposed to be .jpg at the end of that link, but Blogger keeps cutting it off.
Not a photoshop disaster... But that's one hell of a distasteful ring...
Yawn. Yeah, her knuckles are elided. Oops. It's hardly egregious, though. And you ought to be able to discern, as so many of your readers have, that it's a freakin' ring on her hand reflecting her skin. And if you've seen her perform live, her mouth really is that big.
This blog needs to step it up...the posts are beginning to be the real disaster!
I saw the actual magazine today. They have moved the words to cover the mess of a hand.
Very cool--this might be the first sighting of an "Unsubscriber" for quite a while although I might have missed a few.
Always plenty of bitching and complaining, of course, which is appropriate since those poor souls are forced to come to this site. If they had a choice--not click on a link, not bookmark PsD, take it off their RSS feed, for example--then there would be no reason for the whining.
@Daniel Pachinger yeah, why don't we start a new QUALITY PsD site..Yeah, why don't you?
Regardless of whether or not the fail is in the reflection - there's no way it would have reflected her fingernail at that angle. That's some messed up Photoshop
Once again the owner of this blog show us how much of a idiot he is by posting this image. I am really beginning to question if he gets out of the house cause apparently he does not know what "real" looks like.
He should post this message cause I here is as much of a disaster as this photo.
fanbot - Did they put her thumb back on for the revised cover?
Here's a preview, but it's hard to tell:

Paul - You should *really* check your grammar before you post a rant about what an idiot someone else is.
Oh, and Daniel Pachinger, before you rant about someone else's ability to see a PSD, maybe you should check your own submission, because I'm seeing a very clear bike rack (the swiveling kind, attached near the towball) holding those bikes up. It looks BAD, but I don't think those bikes were necessarily comped in.
Are you PsD deniers completely deranged? That's not a "cube ring artifact." WTF is a cube ring? A hyperdimensional hypermatieral?
Unless she's known for her horribly deformed hand, it's a freaking D.
Are you seriously saying that you think that silver, flattened cube on her finger is not a ring and that such things don't exist?
And ACBatz; that's not her fingernail that's reflected, it's the knuckle of her little finger.
Yes I agree with is the point of saturation Wireless Cameras
Funny, her face looks exactly the same as another cover from some months ago...I'm too lazy to find it atm but I think it was on this site a while ago too.
Why the hell are there so many trolls on this site? I thought people got upset over some trivial crap, but I'm still surprised by how shallow and self important some people can really be.
and what about the "marie claire" on beyoncé's hair?
idk about the hand, I'm just wondering why she is white...
Weird photoshopping of her fingers and nails by the looks of things. Also someone mentioned her thighs, I think someone photoshopped those beautiful things too
No one mention the cube ring again, its not that
I have the actual magazine, and if you look at it, you can tell that it's not a photoshop error. The ring is, as other people have said, a cube. One face of the cube faces back toward Beyonce's arm. What you believe to be a misplaced finger is actually just a reflection of part of her arm in the cube-shaped ring.
"diopsideanddiamonds said... Even if it's a weird thing caused by the ring, as I first thought as well, they shopped out her knuckles."
I see that weird thing too...
I have this magazine and the picture here doesn't do it justice. It's clearly a fingernail and tip reflected in the ring and there is no way that reflection could happen that way. It looks much worse on the actual magazine cover.
i actually saw the magazine today. Her finger nails dont look so bizarre on the print copy - evil pixilation in the image here makes her nails look bizarre.
I AM wondering where her thumb is though. Whoever pointed that out was right on.
Who on earth would walk around wearing a ring like that anyways. :D
agreed - reflection in the cube
Ok, many of you are saying that it's just a cube ring. This is true, although if it weren't a cube ring, then this would be a real disaster.
This site is barely half real disasters...
I don't get it. Why is this post here? The poster takes pains to point out her ring, but I'm not seeing the mistake. All I see is a hand with a shiny cube ring on one finger. Seems pretty straightforward to me. What am I missing??
