Having done a bit of retouching myself in Photoshop, I wanted to check out the errors made by my comrades. Knowing as I do that "photoshopping" is delicate work, I am always very conscientious. Your mind can pick up the smallest subtlety, and I know slight errors are easily noticed.
Here are some of examples of work I've done...
Adding additional background...
Putting a hat on...
Turning a child's face upwards...
So I perused the site and picked out some of my favorite examples of "over-photoshopping".
If you are going to switch out heads (which I often do) make sure the body and the head at least belong to a person of the same race...
I've always thought my smile is too small. I don't know if there is a plastic surgery for this, but obviously Photoshop could help...
O.K. I know many of you think Angelina Jolie is naturally gorgeous and never photoshopped. Apparently her forearm is naturally 5 feet long and her thumb has an extra joint not known to us mere mortals.
Here is a classic freshman mistake. "Love the shot, can you get that third guy in the background out?" "No problem, I'll just fill it with black." Too bad about the residual hand...
I know this is supposed to be a very sexy shot to entice you play a video game, and I suppose somewhere, there is a fetish group for those who like girls with six fingers...
I'm sure someone worked VERY hard and long on cloning in the house, but the fence... now that's extra.
Oh, I don't feel so bad now for my screw-ups. And there have been a few cringe-inducing examples. Fortunately, nothing I've done has made it to this blog... but there's still time.

Great examples of "over-shopping", loved the extra hand in the last one. Glad that you are soooo careful with the work you do for me!! Dad
Too funny! I liked the extra hand on the shoulder!
oh those are great and freaky all at the same time. ;) I think I will just keep the head I have and the 14 toes, I mean 10. ;)
