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.

Caffarena: What's More, There's A Crack On The Other Side

Liza Minelli: I'M 63 YOU KNOW!

Arguably this is a Photoshop Triumph (if you are Liza Minelli.) For everyone else it's a bit of a stretch.
Thanks to Sven K (who has a cool site here!)

Linda P: Old One-Arm Is Back

The great thing about Photoshop is that you can senselessly butcher your models for the sake of composition without getting blood all over the place.
Thanks to Samantha! Original is here!

The Sunset: Tatooine's Best Restaurant

Tired of boring old single sunsets? We have DOUBLE SUNSETS for DOUBLE ROMANTICNESS! Our sunsets are GUARANTEED! Where will the sun set? WE DON'T KNOW! Order NOW!
Thanks to The Digitante! Original is here Warning: Tedious flash site

Maxim: The Pond Of Implausibility

You have to admire the spirit. Maxim could have just bottled out and run the original image. But they had ambition. They saw the bigger picture and made something guaranteed to stand out from the crowd.
True, it stands out because it is hopelessly crap, but it does stand out.
Thanks to Yoka, Camille, Katy, Nick, edo, Jody and everyone else who sent this in! Bigger version here!

XXL: Eminenema

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this image; I'm only posting it because 322 people have sent it in so far and it's getting hard to navigate my inbox. It's totally fine.
Dlisted, buzzfeed, and Perez Hilton disagree.

GQ: Head Of His Class

Looks like ginormous heads are the in look for this season.
Thanks to Trisha and everyone else who sent this in!

Tata: We Hate Your Retinas

pho⋅to il⋅lus⋅tra⋅tion
/ˈfoʊtoʊˌɪləˈstreɪʃən/ [foh-toh il-uh-strey-shuhn]
–noun
1. Oh my good Lord that really is hideous. Let's say it's photo-illustration.
2. This illustration sucks. Let's blame it on Photoshop.
3. Don't look at me I wanted to hire Nadav.

Burda: Limbo

It's called vitamin D, it isn't expensive.
Thanks to Selena! Original is here!

Gillette: Reveal The Deformed Freak In You

Turns out your mom was right: if you shave your legs off they grow back even bigger.
Thanks to Steph! Original is here!

Glamour: Even The Instruments Are Fake

The scene: Glamour mag Miley Cyrus shoot
Lovely darling (click) now can you hold your guitar in front of you in a quasi-but-not-quite sexual fashion? (click) And smile! (click) Lovely. (click) And can you make the headstock inexplicably dissolve into your hair? (click) Lovely!

Playboy: Obviously Not A Leg Man

Your crop isn't quite working. You should:
A. Choose a different picture.
B. Scale back a little.
C. Shorten her legs, delete the knees, set airbrush to 100%, start looking for a new job.
Thanks to Héctor!

Agent Provocateur: Provokes A Tear

This is the PsD equivalent of one of those 3-D patterns that you have to gaze into and then suddenly you can see it. You have to be patient; it can take several seconds.
Thanks to Marie! Original is here!

Atlanta Social Season: One Step Beyonce

I know that we are all weary of the lifelong existential struggle between wanting to show more of Beyonce's cleavage and wanting to avoid an utterly humiliating disaster on your front cover, but it's refreshing and illuminating to see it brought to light in such disastrous fashion.
Thanks to Terry! Original is here!

L'Oreal: Penelope Cruz Necked

Oh well, maybe there's a cream you can put on that.
Thanks to Anon! Original is here!

Star Trek: She'll noo take it, Captain!

Here's one for the nerds; apparently Captain Spock's space rocket is upside down or something.
Thanks to MS!

Woolworths Mexico: Aaaaargh!

Aaaaargh! Aaaaargh! Aaaaargh! Aaaaargh! Aaaaargh! Aaaaargh!
Thanks to Brandon! Aaaaargh!

Bergdorf Goodman: Compound Interest

This is obviously not a disaster because she is probably standing in front of a thin polar bear that is jumping in the air. Or possibly she is holding a very flat white shovel or small spade against her back.
Thanks to Bernadette! Original is here!
