Bad uses of Photoshop in ads, news stories and even Google Earth. Things that are just too perfect - or too weird - to be real, and have clearly been digitally manipulated:

- Movie covers with faces awkwardly plastered onto bodies, with actors ultimately striking impossible poses:


- The 'Home for Sale' ad where the only green portion of the lawn has been copied and digitally spread all over the front yard:


- The Google Earth image where a patch of trees has clearly been copied and duplicated to cover up... something...


- Models with curiously long or short limbs, missing jaws(!) or limbs simply jutting out of the incorrect part of their body:


- Famous faces pasted onto the packaging of foreign products:
"I'm Jennifer Aniston, and I approve these pantyhose."


- Not surprisingly, there are a lot of sultry-looking women online and in magazines who have been 'slenderized' using photo manipulation. Distortion of the background makes it painfully clear there is some dishonesty going on here.



- Even an Iranian press release showing the firing of missiles had been Photoshopped to include more missiles in a simultaneous launch than were really there:

In the Movie "Be Kind Rewind" they copy and pirate movies with their own personal taste so the movie poster was made to look personalized, and is not a poor photoshop picture.
