33 Worst Photoshop Mistakes Ever

When it comes to making something noticeable, the biggest mistake artists do is making everything perfectly right. However, if you are really serious about getting famous with your piece of art – you should definitely be more reckless with Photoshop.

If you lack of imagination about what to do, don’t worry – I’ll help you. A good way to start is by accidentally removing someones feet. If you have a close-up  shot with only hands visible – don’t worry – it’s also a perfect opportunity! Just add the sixth finger, and wait for someone to spot it.

However, the best result is guaranteed, when you are responsible for making a cover photo for a popular magazine or newspaper. You should be more careful though, and make the photoshop mistake very subtle and unnoticeable for the editors. They don’t like it. Once you get through them, the mistake should be noticed pretty quickly if the magazine/newspaper is popular enough. Otherwise, if nothing happens – send some anonymous letters to guys like photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com.

OK, now let’s jump to the Best Photoshop Mistake Examples, and learn from the best.

What do you think?

  • kelly

    also look in the reflection of the car on number 33

  • Anon

    The Whitney Houston pic is normal. The hand at her waist belongs to the person in the red shirt behind her. It’s a perfectly normal shot.

  • Leonick

    @ Anon: Well the way that guy is standing that seem impossible

  • Vlad

    whats is wrong with #3, looks fine to me

  • Camilla

    And the “Halens: Something Between Her Legs”, I think it’s the palm behind her. Looks like that..

  • Bosse Bildoktor

    Vlad: One wing looks fine to you?

  • http://www.esjo.se Erik

    Haha.. They didnt even bother getting rid of the knee in 11 =D

  • Rupe

    Vlad, you are correct.

    Bosse Bildoktor, du har fel. Det är perspektivet som lurar dig. Kolla hur motorerna och hjulen sitter på vardera sida och tänk även på att vingarna på flygplan oftast sitter vinklade bakåt och även en aning uppåt. Bilden är korrekt och vingen borde logiskt sett vara helt dold bakom flygplanskroppen.

  • http://www.jannemiettinen.fi Janne Miettinen

    Had a laugh, great list! :D

  • Beckley

    on the lost poster im pretty sure those are waves in the background haha

  • Beckley

    on 32 she also fail with her wrist as well as the wall

  • Jake

    in pic 32 the camera handel thing and her left arm our right is also smudged

  • Cora

    In number 19 I think she just has a double jointed thumb. I also can make my hand lood like it has no thumb. It grosses out the kids in the family.

  • http://www.surferm.ag Justin

    I’m with Beckly, those be waves we’re seeing

  • PK

    On last image (owner of shoemoney.com) there is also reflection on car – without check of course.

  • Odyssey

    No 3 is correct. Remove it

  • Tata

    I think that for 14 photographs all right…

  • Ijwss

    Yeah, I can’t figure out what’s wrong with #3 either.

  • Tata

    And a girl has 4 fingers on each hand for 15 photos.

  • Dawn

    #3 is missing the right wing!

  • catburglar

    Never mind the wall @ #32 – look at the rubber wrist.

  • Jerome Holderman

    #3 also has 2 right hands

  • Alessandro

    btw OI is a telecom company LOL

  • Mat K

    No 22 was done as a JOKE. The guys in Spinal Tap/The Folksmen did this to see if anyone would see the “Mistake”. They admitted to it. It is a JOKE.

  • http://www.arekgmurczyk.pl arek

    best of the best :D

  • whocares

    14 is just alright it’s because of the dress that makes it look like a mistake :)

  • Eddie

    #3 is correct everyone. There is no possible way to fly a plane with only one wing!

  • Oatmeal

    This is just 33 examples of mistakes that made it to print. There’s nothing that leads me to believe that these are “the” 33 worst photoshop mistakes in the history of mankind… evah.

    Ease up on the overly-dramatic language.

  • Grangemead

    Number 3 is fine. The wing can’t be seen because of the angle of the plane. Look at the wing wheels and the angle becomes clear.

  • emmahowell

    11 iis faked, the black man is obviously added in on the top photo. he has a bit of extra white around him that someone forgot to crop out. also, 19 is normal. her thumb is just behind her leg.

  • http://www.seamoon.pl Zdjęcia ślubne Płock

    :) 16 is the best fake

  • http://vladimir-efremov.ru Владимир

    :) развод

  • Aile

    The young ladies wrist seems to be a tad wonky too (in 32)

  • Neon12edfire

    not sure if this was mentioned before but also on the last picture look at the reflection on the car, you can’t see a thing in his hands there either haha

  • http://koowie.com Koowie

    Yea but the girl at the bottom is hot!

  • Moon_

    no. 32: massive fail on the right too- check out her arm!

    very funny illusioned mistakes presented cleverly 

  • gogo

    4 there is piece on the reflection that is not on the camera
    5 there are flames in front of the cat
    9 the clouds are copied and pasted

  • Gaz

    so, they only added his leg in the bottom photograph?

  • Juan Camilo Gomez

    I didn´t get the OI add :/

  • Juan Camilo Gomez

    I didn’t get the OI add :/

  • Swimstar425

    ummmmmmm… no.for 11, the white around him is his shirt, and below they just decided to photoshop a knee into the picture, also on the second one, the boats motor is gone. On 19, it cannot be her thumb because her hand are in front of her

  • Swimstar425

    you are right, you must have two wings, but the second wing wing is just unseen because of the angle it is shot at.

  • Icec0ld4

    And there is no front wheel. It is just floating…

  • cat meow

    the thing between helens legs is the tree behind her

  • frank

    the point was that they are copied exactly from the other side of the picture… dumbass

  • shane

    exactly because it is the same exact hand just a little rotated

  • Rae

    Yeah. They are identical. (dumbass) it actually does get fun saying that.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002133261307 Holly Barree

  • Jerileao

    #32 the camera cord is also screwed up (like the wall) 
    #33 the reflection on the truck also shows empty hands! 

  • Mejwaldron

    either way 2 of each one was doubled…

  • Mejwaldron

    I don’t think so,look again! that’s a male organ.

  • Anonymous

    I am sorry I just had to post this. I was googling my name and found some girl that goes by Laceysmurf with the SAME name as me (omg ew) and she fronts herself as a model. Here is something I found on her modeling site vs her photographers site. Its so funny omg. 

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1436480896 Jesse Herr

    3?

  • http://www.facebook.com/brandield Brandie LaRee Davis

    The wing is hidden by the picture angle. The wheel is there. It’s to the right of the woman’s hand. There’s nothing wrong with the pic.

  • Mousewerkz

  • Dillybear108

    #32. I don’t think i’s what’s wrong with the wall as much as it is what’s wrong wigth her wrist?

  • http://winmain.vn/giai-phap-phan-mem-quan-ly-khach-hang-cho-dn-nho.html phần mềm quản lý khách hàng

    This was really funny. as others have pointed out, the three-legged soldier is not a mistake though.

  • Toxc wolf

    33 look at the guys reflection the check is fake!

  • FRED

    In that
    case where did the extra knee come from, behind the ‘last’ chap in the second
    photo??? (11)

    The white round the black dude’s T shirt is the part of
    the dark stripe effect.

    What I can’t figure out is the mystery grey thing at the
    side – also (mostly) removed in pic 2. Oh, I think nit’s the outboard motor

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=502235503 Gray Phoenix Scott

    I think the first photo of Whitney isn’t Photoshopped… Looks to me like the hand of the guy walking behind her, in which case it’s just an unlucky capture. If they Photoshopped another hand in, I think they’d choose a better hand position to look like it was gripping the cup… Just my 2 cents but seems like a mistake here ^_^

    Daniel 8:23-25
    “And at the latter end of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their limit, a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise. His power shall be great— but not by his own power; and he shall cause fearful destruction and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people who are the saints. By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind he shall become great.Without warning he shall destroy many. And he shall even rise up against the Prince of princes, and he shall be broken—but by no human hand.”
