That last one looks more like a tree trunk then a hem, but since they photshopped the tree out of the picture, I don’t think we should give them a break on it–SHEMALE!!!

On a lot of these, my big question is “why?” Do they make changes just to make changes? Why move a guy’s hand? Phil Mickelson isn’t looking at a ball, he’s looking at the end of Wood’s club. “Holy crap! He almost brained me!”

I would say that the last one is not a tree trunk, but rather the back hem of the skirt.

Cool! Just one thought: the cereal one might just be really bad lighting. On my student ID picture I look orange because of the lighting, so perhaps somebody that’s naturally a bit darker looks lighter because of the lighting or has a lot less light at the face or something. Perhaps.

Hilarious, Thanks for taking the time to post these. I didn’t know there were so many 3 armed folks out there.

Hey Gary,
Thanks for your input. You might like to look at another one of our posts that deals more directly with ‘doctoring history’ using Photoshop. see:

These are funny but I’d say they’re all harmless mistakes that maybe one person in a thousand might notice. Maybe you have a rule to not include anything controversial and/or political? There is an abundance of on purpose PhotoShop changes to war zone photos especially of one “photo journalist” who altered hundreds of photos in the most recent Israeli/Lebanon/Syria war and, some quick researching of older photos showed an abundance of PhotoShopped photos that was done for only one reason – to turn public opinion against Israeli. With the war stopped before Israel could achieve a decisive victory I’d say the “propaganda” worked. H[fUnless you are anti-Israel you might want to include links to a few of the most blatant alterations. They’re quite easy to find with Google image searches. bUT many are not there. AP who the fellow worked for removed all of his 1,000+ plus photos saying “we are preserving the integrity of their company. Thinking they would do this I made copies of hundreds of his photos. I remember a few of them temporarily put Israel on the defensive. A quick check of the people employed by the Beirut AP office show all Arab names. You would think they would have had a few from the states to mske sure the office was not just a propaganda outlet for Hezbollah and others whose goal is the destruction of Israel.

If you instead just wanted to display some light hearted no harm done PhotoShop errors you accomplished your objective. I would have preferred alterations that in few cases, changed word history. The oldest altered photot I remember seeing was one of Abraham Lincoln meeting with some of hisw generals. So this is not a new practice, just much easier with PhotoShop ans other similar programs.

Hey on the last one, thats one of the foldings of the skirt that shows through the transparent fabric, its not a shemale, nor the tree trunk, it wasw an inocent mistake made by shadows and light arrangements not taken properly on account

My question is why would they bother removing extra people from images? It means there are people employed for a redundant position and they’re also terrible at their jobs. Heck, I can photoshop better than these guys, and I assume for them to have it on their CV as a skill they must have worked in some kind of professional graphic design industry previously which makes these awful shoops even more disturbing.
