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.

Please understand that lots of people send tips; if I were to reply to everyone I'd have no time to post anything.

Photoshop World: Photoshop User TV Useless At Photoshop


Ah, inept reflections. At least it's only people who don't think they're any good at Photoshop who screw up, right? It isn't as if a lame reflection would appear on a big screen for Photoshop TV at Photoshop World, right? Right?

Thanks to Brian Purkiss!

Resident Evil: Zombies Give You Mumps


Art Director: Oi, have you comped those three birds together for that Reservoir Evil cover?
PS Grunt: Wot? Is impossible! The lighting is all different and stuff.
Art Director: Well that is wot Photoshop is for, you tard.
PS Grunt: Oh. Yes! I will make it totally different!
Art Director: And don't make her look like she has eaten all the pies!
PS Grunt: Ha ha, as if.

Thanks to Mike G.

Nordic Catalog Disaster


This Norwegian Danish Norwegian Canadian Danish catalog plays fast and loose with the juxtaposing and the cropping with delightfully regrettable results.

Thanks Ichonderoga, you're super-cool!

Elizabeth Arden: Introducing Catherine Zeta Beckham


The always-excellent Stylefrizz beats up on Elizabeth Arden for inexplicably hiring Catherine Zeta Jones and then transforming her into something that is almost - but not quite - entirely unlike Catherine Zeta Jones.

Thanks to Kitty M for the heads-up.

Trillian: They Probably Code Better Than They Photoshop


Meet Trillian Astra, which is a piece of software that has lots of interoperability, dynamic user profiles, strawberry-flavored web integration and, of particular interest to us, profoundly awful artwork.

Thanks to K3v!

Let's Be Cruel To: Be Kind Rewind


Be Kind Rewind has a theme of cheap-and-cheerful pastiches of existing iconic movies, hence the grade-school-style painted background. What's unfortunate is the middle-school-style perspective distorts and remedial head transplants in the photomontage in the foreground.

It's neither bad-enough-to-look-deliberate, nor good-enough-to-not-appear-on-photoshopdisasters. Bigger version here.

Edit: Belated thanks to Señorita Puri, mea culpa!

Wanted: She Has Jolie Long Arms


Cue 200 comments about how Wanted is about a woman with five-foot long forearms and deformed thumbs.

Thanks to Adam, AlecSky, Alexis, Red7ine, and a whole bunch more people. You guys rock!

Red Bull: Gives You Nightmares


Red Bull in Hungary makes you wish you had never seen this image. Scrubbing your eyeballs doesn't work, I tried.

Props to Phaedra.
