Amazon Photoshop Fails

[Liisa Komara]

Theonline store, which is available on Amazon (and a few other retailers like Nordstrom, eBay and Sears), has been able to botch almost every single model on their site. And we're not talking about a few disfigured arms or legs, but rather missing body parts, "shaven" body parts and body proportions that don't make any logical sense.

The photoshop fail was first spotted by site PS Disasters. According to The Gloss, models were made to look curvier, but with incredibly tiny waists and arm sizes that don't even look human. Jezebel points out the models, especially this one, looks like she had been a tragic victim of the blur tool, but we're wondering if these designers knew how to use Photoshop at all.

Selling everything from club wear to bathing suits to bodycon dresses, the shop on Amazon has all kinds of fails. Our favourite? This women's one-sleeve bandage high waisted cropped one piece bodycon dress (what a mouthful!) that is not only shows a terrible Photoshopping job, but also includes Beyonce's head on the model!

"I'm sure no one cares today but I feel like I have to acknowledge this," Blake began on Instagram Stories March 22, shortly after Kate went public with her diagnosis. "I made a silly post around the 'photoshop fails' frenzy, and oh man, that post has me mortified today. I'm sorry."

The apology comes a week after Blake, 36, posted an image of her head blatantly Photoshopped on another woman's body, seemingly poking fun at the U.K. Mother's Day portrait previously shared by Kate that multiple agencies pulled for being "manipulated."

The caption appeared to spoof on the conspiracy theories surrounding Kate's recovery from abdominal surgery, which were fueled when the princess admitted to digitally altering the family photo with her and Prince William's kids: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5. Blake's Betty Buzz beverage company even weighed in, with the brand's official account writing in the post's comments section: "Haters will say it's photoshop."

Now, it's clear that Kate was absent from the public spotlight to focus on her health and family. As the 42-year-old explained in a March 22 video on her social media accounts, "It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK."

"In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous," she shared. "The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the stages of that treatment."

"Wales and the World is with you HRH Princess of Wales," Zeta-Jones, who was born in Wales and was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) by now-King Charles III in 2011, wrote on Instagram. "Love to you always."

The Newsroom alum, who revealed March 13 she has been battling breast cancer, commented on Kensington Palace's Instagram video of Kate, "Thank you for showing what it's like to fight with grace and determination for yourself and your family. Wishing you all the best."

"My thoughts are with the Princess of Wales, Prince of Wales, the Royal Family and in particular her three children at this difficult time," he said in a statement on X. "The Princess of Wales has the love and support of the whole country as she continues her recovery. She has shown tremendous bravery with her statement today."

Speaking at a press briefing following news of Kate's health battle, she said their thoughts are with the princess "and her family members and friends during this incredibly difficult time," adding, "certainly we wish her a full recovery."

"Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together," Kate's brother wrote on Instagram, alongside a childhood pic of the two, after she revealed her health diagnosis. "As a family, we will climb this one with you too."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stepped back as senior royals in 2020 and live in California, said in a statement to NBC News, "We wish health and healing for Kate and the family and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace."

In fact, Charles has "remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks," the rep told NBC News, adding that both he and Camilla "will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time."

In the video tutorial below, I walk through the techniques that I use to combine several exposures of the Milky Way using Adobe Photoshop. The resulting photograph from combining just 8 separate exposures offers a great improvement in the quality of the image by reducing noise and revealing more detail.

In the video tutorial below, I use some relatively noisy sample images made with the Sony RX100III (read our full astrophotography review). You can see the before and after example image above. This particular tutorial focuses on the use of the Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop and addresses one of the common problems that many of our readers have experienced when following my original video tutorial on Landscape Astrophotography Image Stacking when using these pieces of software.

Stacking un-tracked exposures of the night sky requires alignment of each exposure to compensate for the rotation of the Earth. Photoshop has an auto-alignment tool that can line-up multiple exposure layers but sometimes the tool will fail to properly align the images, resulting in a low-quality final image with blurry stars. There are a lot of reasons that Photoshop might fail to align your layers: clouds, lens distortion, and even light pollution can prevent automatic alignment.

This video walks through the method that I use to align my exposures after some basic edits and I also cover what to do when the auto-align layers feature in photoshop fails to work properly. Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments.

I have trouble stictching my individually stacked photos in Lightroom and other panorama software. At least I could create a panorama using photoshop but I cannot really fix the distortion and as a result of that I end up losing a lot of my pano that is not desired. Lighroom will not even stitch them! Has anyone else had the problem? It is not overlapping issue as I can stitch the individual photos with no stacking.

The "Gossip Girl" alum took to her Instagram story on Friday to apologize for posting a now-deleted photo of herself sitting poolside in pigtails, with a thumbs up, holding a can of a Betty beverage on Instagram last week.

"I'm sure no one cares today but I feel like I have to acknowledge this. I made a silly post around the 'photoshop fails frenzy, and oh man, that post has me mortified today. I'm sorry," Lively wrote. "Sending love and well wishes to all, always."

In the original post, Lively announced oak smoked lemonade and apple ginger sour cherry mocktails and smoky pineapple tequila and oak smoked lemonade bourbon cocktails for her Betty sparkling beverage company, which she launched in 2021.

"I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally, for all the messages of support and for your understanding while I've been recovering from surgery," the princess says on bench, in a striped sweater, surrounded by lush lawn. "It's been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I've had a fantastic medical team that has been taking care of me for which I am so grateful."

In a statement shared with People and British news outlet The Guardian, King Charles III, who was also diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, said he is "so proud of Catherine (the Princess of Wales) for her courage in speaking as she did."
