50 Photoshop Disasters that will make you say OMG!

Richie

We all know how Photoshop has entirely transformed the world of design with its path breaking tools. It has paved way for improvement, mastery and ever increasing urge to create newer and better designs. Photoshop is loved so much these days that people just go beyond creating amazing stuff with it.

We all commit mistakes. It is from these mistakes, that we learn and understand better. So, its OK of we make mistakes once in a while. But, if you continue the trend, you are pretty much going to end up as a laughing stock. Photoshopdisasters and Photoshopmistakes have the best collection of Photoshop blunders. I searched the websites for some really funny and fresh bloopers and wanted to share them with you.

Out of all the disasters that happened, these are the ones we can laugh about a lot. Everybody makes mistakes but these photoshop disasters are made by people who make a lot of dollars and are not really supposed to make these kinds of mistakes, and this is what makes it so fun to see.

In this article, I have showcased some of the worst Photoshop disasters and have also pointed out the exact flaw, just in case. So, Have fun, and learn something from these mistakes :)

1) Pepsi Challenged

PepsiCo is a US-based international corporation with a market capitalization of $107 billion and 185,000 employees. They aren’t very good at doing reflections

2) Lexar 8 GB

8GB. 8GB. 8GB.8GB 8GB 8GB….. Eight gigabytes. 8GB. 8GB 8GB 8GB. 8GB. Eight…… 4GB!!!

3) Azoogle: this was really well thought

Well these Azoogle guys look pretty legit. Look at that huge check! There’s absolutely no way that’s not real, and I know ‘cos I’m an expert at faking pictures and stuff. His shadow explains everything :)

4) Heine more mobius than Mobel

I wish I could design such a furniture in real life….

5) Silvio Berlusconi

Oh Silvio. I have no problem with your mafia connections, your masonic lodge business, the tax fraud, the false accounting, the bribing of judges, embezzlement, seducing young girls, etc. We all do that kind of thing. But when you start pumping up your crowds with Photoshop you cross the line, mister.

6) V: Aliens ate my Clipping path

Mixing line work and photography is a difficult task graphically. It requires excellent judgement and carefully feathered masking to……. SCREW IT JUST USE A CLIPPING PATH ITS ONLY THE COVER

7) Imagine Babies

iStockPhoto does sell the images, you know. You don’t have to just copy-paste it here… or wait.. have you heard about Photoshop??

8 ) Wacom Mole

Yo Tyler, Why don’t you get a ‘REAL’ Pen so that the ad doesn’t appear so crappy

9) Time Magazine Voting Machine

Make it 8 things ……. the Shadows there…. seems kinda messed up..

10) Levi’s – Epic Reflection Failure

Yeah…. right…. Quality never goes out of style.. especially when you don’t have a clue about the reflections

11) Toy boy shades of unlikeliness

Toy Boy is the first part of the trilogy of fail that is the Spread disaster. Recurrent theme: Implausible sunglasses.

12) Sharper images now with X – Rays

Thats one powerful projector. I gotta buy it.

13) Lens Flare solves everything

My god… what are they taking pictures of?? His c****h?? :D

14) Taka Jewelery : Barely necked ladies

You call that twirling? Twirl harder! Twirl goddammit!

15) Stocking Girl, you got hosed

Hey good move. It isn’t as though your business depends on the quality of your photography or anything.

16) Galapagos Explorer: Uh huh!!

Man!!!….. these reflections are some real hard thing to accomplish…..

17) Crazy on the outside : Attack of the cutouts

HEY YOU THERE, I need you to put a poster together for this movie and we only have a bunch of OLD HEADSHOTS to work with and we need finished artwork in TEN MINUTES and then we’re going to FIRE YOU. GET STARTED!

18) Apple iPod for mother’s day

Don’t worry, if your mom doesnt know what that black piece of plastic is or how to use it, she can always look at its reflection for the hidden message. For those of you who are not able to get the flaw… check out the wrong side of the iPod being reflected on the standing one.

19) Don’t buy Make Up, just buy Photoshop

Oh Yeah!!….. Thats what I call a Instant face lift… I wonder how many people got their money back!!

20) Asos : Mayday

24) Ow… My Leg…..

I don’t care if you have been crushed against the wall! Keep smiling!

25) Graphics : Undetectable Comping

Let’s establish some ground rules here. You can either say a missing reflection is deliberate, or that someone is convincingly boating around in an upturned beach umbrella. You can’t have both. On the other hand, if this is a calculated attempt to get onto PsD then I salute you, sir.

26) The floating table

Gee.. I gotta learn how to do that… They call it magic..

27) The Spiderman Chronicles

Mirror.. Mirror.. on the wall…. What’s wrong with your hand, spidey?

28) Golf : the funny just became funnier

Wow.. I gotta learn how to take a picture like that one… Who is in the front, anyway??

29) Lifestyle: Kardashian Diet secret

The heartbreaking aspect of this disaster is that the Kardashian women always seemed quite comfortable being well-upholstered and real. So it’s kind of weird that they turn up in Life & Styleflaunting a whole bunch of crudely liquified backgrounds and clone-happy body parts.

30) Elle Shoulder

Liquify filter gone horribly wrong on Lady Gaga’s right shoulder..

31) Check out my rims.

I wish my BMW had rims like that….

Now you know where the prize money for the New York lottery comes from; little puppies shit it out. Kind of obvious really.

We hear the words “insane art direction” far too often these days, so it’s nice to have an image that properly captures the sentiment.

37) Digital Photoshop disaster of the year

If only there were some way to make images from scenes in real life and somehow make them into computer files, but alas, there is probably no such technology.
