ARTIST VIEW ENTERTAINMENT: DUFF LIGHT

Posted on 9 April by Vernon
HILARY DUFF:  Josh Gad?!  I’m the ‘name’ star of this picture.  Why am I not on the poster?
PRODUCER:  Um, you were seven months pregnant when we shot the publicity stills.  It’s a low-budget film.  There’s no money left to Photoshop you in.
HILARY DUFF:  Then I’ll do it.  I designed my own line of clothing.  You think I can’t figure out how to use stupid Photoshop?

I love this.  It looks like Ms. Duff photo-bombed her own movie poster!  And she actually did just give birth to her first child just last month, so the fictional scenario I concocted above may not be all that far from the truth.  In any event, congratulations to Hilary on the birth of her son, but perhaps it’s best to leave the graphics work to the experts.

Thanks Pierre for the great catch. You can see the original on the FilmoFilia site.

    Is it just me, or does her arm look really weird. Like…alien weird?

    This makes me want to punch someone.

    You guys have GOT to stop posting MacPaint pictures as Photoshop disasters. Any single person here today could do this level of quality in a paint utility, and it would most likely be just exactly this “good”.  Not everyone uses PS to produce crap; they have other, cheaper means. 

    And, while we’re on the subject, how about a fifth voting button that says “No PSD”.

      I think “photoshop” now applies to any alteration of a photo, no matter what the name of the program used.  Like “kleenex” and ”band-aid” – it does not apply only to the actual brand anymore.

      I’m thinking somebody just got hired by Adobe.

      Someone has GOT to create a MacPaint Disasters website to prevent this dangerous confusion.

    What I’d find more interesting with a picture like this is, how would you save it?
    It’s not beyond repair it seems. So lets say you had the image as a .psd file where you already had the blonde woman on a seperate layer. How to make her fit in better?
    I think she looks a bit too low on the picture above, but if you move her up, the angle at which the photo was taken becomes even more of an issue. She’s also a bit too large, maybe.
    Then I feel she could use a little more contrast as well. The guy needs to lose the backlighting on his left arm.
    The blonde woman needs some shadows on her hair and general right side (from her POV). The shadow on the neck is rather sharp, suggesting that it was maybe taken inside, while the other two have more diffuse lighting.

    For some reason it makes me think of The Tubes

    This is not a PSD.  Hilary Duff improves any image no matter how it was created….

    It’s entirely possible that they posed with a cardboard cut-out of Hilary.  I have a photo of me “with” Paris Hilton that looks exactly like this. ;)

  • CragAntler

    Come on now, this one’s pretty obvious.  Hilary’s lighting is so washed out compared to the other two, and her head is ginormous compared to the other girl.  Then again, Duff is notorious for her singing voice being digitally enhanced, too, so this is just par for the course.

    She knows how to use stupid Photoshop and it shows.
