The Art of Photoshopping Disasters
Have you ever gazed upon a photo that seemed a bit off? Perhaps the background appeared to be auditioning for a horror film, or maybe there’s a pair of thighs that could fit into a child’s pair of jeans. And let’s not forget the inexplicable disappearance of an arm — classic move in the rogue Photoshop repertoire.
