Believe it or not, this cover isn’t a photograph! The book includes lessons on:
- Adding rough borders to cutouts
- Making people look as though they are an assemblage of pasted parts
- Shadows solve everything
- Necks are unimportant
- It is photorealistic if you close your eyes
Thanks to Andy C. If you don’t believe the book is real, Amazon.uk has it here.

This is the back of a bus in Bergen, Norway. Bob Megleren is some sort of realtor there. Be very careful if he asks if you have enough living space.
Unnerving translation: “We are ready… with 60 years experience… Bob Megleren – that’s why.”
Thanks to Ank!

In a move sure to surprise her fans, Gwyneth Paltrow has had her head removed and replaced with one twice as large. Paltrow, 36, waved to well-wishers as she left the GQ Photo Desk where the operation had taken place.
“I’ve always been interested in being an optical illusion” said the unnervingly disproportionate Iron Man star as she struggled to support her new giant cranium with her floppy limbs. “Beauty to me is being comfortable in your giant head.”
Thanks to Brit!

You have to wonder if, at some point, the artist working on this actually realized what was happening and yet carried on regardless.
Foreshortening can be a tricky thing to get right. One minute your image is bursting out of the frame, the next you seem to have assembled a cast of deformed mutants. The strange thing is that the picture above is in order, from right to left: OK; a bit dodgy; a lot dodgy; freakish.
Here’s a close-up of the last one. The shadow doesn’t really help either.
Thanks to Will!

This kind of artwork screw-up is entirely understandable, considering how it is impossible to get real pictures of the phone, how Apple doesn’t really have a graphics department, the language barrier, [insert more unlikely excuses here].
Thanks to Geoff and everyone else sending this in. In-depth snarking here.

Ah, inept reflections. At least it’s only people who don’t think they’re any good at Photoshop who screw up, right? It isn’t as if a lame reflection would appear on a big screen for Photoshop TV at Photoshop World, right? Right?
Thanks to Brian Purkiss!
