Thanks to Naichau! Original is here!

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.

I hate being first.
YES finally you posted this! But who the hell is Naichau... I emailed this shit WEEKS ago :<
Also, this version has a HORRIBLE cutout job on their hair. It was released by someone...
http://www.hello-online.org/hello/images/picboard/img2009102318153216.jpg
consummately shite. What's with the orange glow on top of the girl in the middle/front?
oh I see... it's flames. Wonderful.
I hate to be the boring one that points things like this out, but her arm is behind the flame. You can see her left hand (on the right as we look at it) holding the whip, which goes behind her head. She has a black thing on her elbow. No missing arm, no disaster, just unfortunate coincidence.
My retinas underwent spontaneous combustion when looking at this.
I think her arm is only behind her "kind of scarf" ...
But it's sad how they all look brunettes...
No, she has a stick across her shoulders. The stick has two hands on it, both with gloves. The girlie has two arms coming out from her shoulders, one of which has a glove, the other ending right where a glove might start.
SOMEBODY'S selection (I won't mention WHO'S) went along a flesh/glove boundary?
I counted 8 severed arms...
who found more?
She's wearing over-the-elbow fingerless black gloves (why!?!?) and the flame is in front of her elbow at an unfortunate coincidental location.
It's ugly and weird, but all there.
Awww... arm isn't really cut off it's just the flame makes it look like it is :( She's wearing black gloves which give the appearance that her arms suddenly stop because the flame is in the way. That's unfortunately not very photoshop disasterish...
"her arm is behind the flame. You can see her left hand (on the right as we look at it) holding the whip, which goes behind her head. She has a black thing on her elbow. No missing arm, no disaster, just unfortunate coincidence."
Who do you think composited the flame into this image in such an "unfortunate" way that her arm looks like it's cut off?
What software do you think they used? What do you call it when a popstar in an ad looks like she's missing a limb, whether it's due to cropping the arm badly, or covering a black glove with a pasted-in flame?
Answers: the Photoshop artist. Who created a PHOTOSHOP. DISASTER.
omg lol XD seeing Morning Musume on here made my day :D
... why is that?That's sad.
When I first looked at the picture, and I'll stand by this now, I'm not convinced the center girl's right arm is actually attached to her body. Her right shoulder looks to me as if it's sloping down . . . like her arm is at her side. Then, just a bit too far out, there comes the arm. Gives me the heebe jeebes.
Wait...we're all worried about the arm, and no one noticed that the girl in the lower center appears to be missing everything south of the navel?
I love you Cesare. I love you hard.
This sucks in so many ways. Yes, the flame obscures part of that arm, but it's been cropped straight across, which no flame would ever do... unless it's been poorly photoshopped.
That flame was designed by Le Corbusier in the Brutalist style. That's why it has a hard straight edge exactly aligned with her glove line. The man was a genius. He also liked J Pop and hated gloves.
It always - always, without fail - cracks me up that people come on here to complain that PsD 'got it wrong' and that there's nothing wrong with the picture. Christ on toast people, don't try and claim that you have to look at it in the right light, or stare at it for a long time - sometimes designers just fudge it up and get it wrong. And sometimes when they do it's funny. And sometimes, when it's funny, it's made even funnier because these are huge companies who should be able to do better and it's fun to laugh at them because they're advertising shit with more shit. That's what we're here to celebrate. If you don't like what PsD is doing, then fudge off somewhere else and read Angler's Weekly or whatever you're into.
Her arm just hidden behind small owl. It ovvious. Unsucribering.
I can not believe people still try to claim that something as obviously botched as this is not a PsD. Are you joking? Please tell me you're joking. Yes, her forearm is behind the flame... but her upper arm has clearly just been HACKED off. There is a distinct horizontal line where it just stops existing and I'm sorry, realistic flames don't create such a distinct line. Furthermore, there is a patch of the background which shows through between the flame and scarf - it meets up with the distinct arm chop. So now her arm is hidden behind both the flame and the background? What a feat! Seriously, people, get some glasses...
It is amazing that you guys don't recognize the most famous crime fighting cowgirls in Japan. That is not a PSD! It's just Dallas Masuyo who got her arm cut off by the wicked Saloon Demon. The hand coming out of the flames is her secret weapon called "the phantom limb".
PS: they're all very cute.
this website needs to change its name to "photoshop slight errors". this is neither a disaster or funny.
You can loose an arm and live with it, but the girl in the center har been cut in half!
the layer with the flame has been set to lighten, nothings been cropped. you can even see that on the belt of the centre girl which should be back. the arm thats "missing" is covered in a black glove which now appears orange. its not a disaster
Well she probably just double jointed and bending her arm backwards over a small owl.
My boyfriend can do this after I take an axe to him.
This fial, unsubscribering.
*awaits hail of rotten tomatoes*
At last, a definite PSD where I can take the "defendant"'s side along with all anatomically-challenged fans of the blog.
So, I'm gonna agree that this is a PSD, and yet, somehow, no.
You see, this is the result of the ADA reaching other countries, along with DMCA and DRM and stuff. After "black" and "yellow" people became obligatory in ads, the ADA people requested that in any picture with 4 or more persons, at least one should have a visible disability. Since it's not easy to find many good-looking visibly disabled people wanting to pose as photomodels, the burden goes to the image compositors; they cleverly disguise it as a PSD, to avoid lawsuits from ADA people for falsely portraying non-disabled people as disabled.
It's a frakked up world, but what can you do?
Yes, her arm is supposed to be behind the flame, but they did a crap job of doing that. Hence disaster.
I may get yelled at for this but this is a PSD, like many of the more recent posts. This was seemingly put together by a professional for a commercial product and it just looks plain awful. If this came across my desk, I would have never approved it.
On first glance, the feathered/blurred edges around some of the bodies and the oddly placed flames are just plain awful.
There may not be a technical error such as an island left behind after a cut-out but the aesthetics created in PS are a fail thus making this piece a PSD.
The definition of disaster seems to have been considerably lowered to now include all sub-standard PS work or, in fact, anything that has been obviously photoshopped or ceases to be 'realistic'.
The gloved arm is behind the flame. Hardly catastrophic. I doubt that these girls are on the same horizontal plane as the bursts of firewoorks either but it's still not a disaster.
What offend my eyes the most is the staggeringly overused Rosewood font.
I'm thinkin' the reason the arm looks amputated is that the layer with the flames is on top, blend mode set to "Screen" which means it is barely lightening the light tones of the arm, but is lightening the black glove to the point where it blends in with the dark red background.
Blend mode disaster that makes the arm look amputated is still a PSD. Don't people actually LOOK at these things before they send them out? This is a mess in so many ways.
You can see the same thing happening with the midriff of the girl in the centre, she must be wearing a black belt or pants. She looks like her torso is floating in space.

I always love to see people get high-and-mighty about the insanely arbitrary and *intentionally hyperbolic* definition of "disaster."
"Well, I have an Oxford dictionary in my lap, and according to my superior interpretation of its definition of a word used in the title of your blog, I hereby say you deserve to die. Good day to you, you poor excuse for a human being!"
The interwebs: srs bzns.
The arm has been clearly cropped. It might look like it's there/the glove but... no.
First of all, the glove on her other arm doesn't go that far up. Secondly, looking at it zoomed-up the "might be glove" darkness is really just the background -the pattern of the background is flawless. Even if her arm is still there, this is still a PSD as the center girl is obviously the victim of a magician's trick gone horribly wrong.
I always love to see people get high-and-mighty about the insanely arbitrary and *intentionally hyperbolic* comments.
"Well, I need to demonstrate my superiority to all netizens therefore I shall declare myself above absolutely all opinion, view and comment whilst overexaggerating everyone else's opinion, you pea-brained imbeciles".
Lot of blind fucks out tonite. Plus the usual bunch who want to parse the term "disaster" into as many possible slices of meaning that can exist, define each of them and then subdivide them further.
I'm not going to touch the lightening and layering issues, but to be fair with the leg, this might have been designed to be a two-page spread, hence the extension of the limb.

You missed.
Is the same girl or japanese women look all the same?
I still think that the funniest part about this is that none of them has legs. Yey.
hahaha...where is her hand gone..
