Photoshop disasters
I was sent a link today and I now have a new favourite web site ever showcasing errors made when over "photoshopping" images: http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/
OK I'm not sure I ever had favourite web site ever, mostly 'cos that's not the sort of phrase I use, but this web site has put a big smile on my face today and at this time of night that's the nearest phrase that springs to mind
So what appeals so about this site? Part of it is it the range of different type of mistakes - the naff ones, the glaring "how did they not spot that"ones, the "did they really think they could get away with that" ones*, the floating hands where you know someone has been on a tight time scale and just missed something small at the last min. There is certainly a pinch of "well my attempts with the clone brush don't look so bad after all".
But the ones that amazed me most were the ones that highlight just how much the "fashion" media fakes the body beautiful. Probably the best example is (Warning: lingerie photo ahead) this where the shadow shows the model's true figure**; but actors, singers and comedians are not immune either.
Every few months or so there are articles in the press about if modern fashion is affecting girls growing up today and giving them low self esteem. Well me thinks those articles should point people to this site to say aim for an average weight / BMI, stay fit and healthy and let photoshop do the rest***.
UPDATE:
Errr... shouldn't the back out go over the baby's eyes
I remember this film poster it was in the tube right next to where I stand most mornings, and I remember thinking was that really the best they could do.
* http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/2008/06/azoogle-this-was-really-well-thought.html check the shadow and the reflection
** you know the shadow is so obvious you wonder if it is faked or left in on purpose by the photoshopper ... unless they were so zoomed into the photo they didn't spot it.
*** well if you really want to look so skinny it looks odd
