Have you seen a truly awful piece of Photoshop work? Chances are you have, and if so it’s undoubtedly been featured on the brilliant blog PsD - Photoshop Disasters. Clumsy manipulation, senseless comping, lazy cloning and thoughtless retouching are their bread and butter. And yes, deep down, the bloggers at PsD love Photoshop, but who can’t resist poking fun at the obviously wonky images art directors, graphic designers and the like can accidently create and publish?! Check out the cringe-inducing hilarity at http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/.
