Daily Mail: The Scraperboard Of Truth!


When you want to make a point with image manipulation, it’s probably a good idea to keep it subtle. If you keep running unsharp mask until you start having LSD flashbacks then you’ve probably gone too far.

Daily Fail: Shouldn’t Throw Stones

Daily Fail PSD
We here at the Daily Mail - along with all right-thinking people – are shocked and appalled by the sight of Gordon Brown and Tony Blair retouching their Christmas cards.

In a torrent of cliches, Photoshop has become a cruel bagel of opportunity for editors who all too frequently want to have their cake and not face the consequences. Albatross.

Daily Fail: Blazing Saddles My Ass

You know, I’m just a rather snippy blogger who really doesn’t have a lot of helpful advice for the Photoshoppers of the world, but I’d just like to weigh in here and suggest to Colin Davey and his photo editor that it might be inadvisable to use a comp of sub-Fark quality right next to the original source image.

Daily Fail: What Is Your Major Malfunction?

The Daily Mail is essentially the UK equivalent of Fox News and Michelle Malkin. It features numerous pieces complaining about immigration, foreigners, Europe, how everything is hopelessly awful, etc.

If it had any good old British blood of steel in its newsprint-veins of justice it would do something about the terrible Photoshopping that is undermining that great nations sense of pride in its media. After all, didn’t Churchill once say (continued on page 97).

Thanks to everyone who sent this in! Hastily (and blurrily) fixed version is here.
