Top 20 Horrendous Photoshop Disasters

Photoshop has been around for more than twenty years, and for much of that time, it has been regarded as one of the most complete photo and imaging editors around. When one thinks of a tool used to make either small or large edits to photographs or designs, Photoshop generally pops into mind.

It doesn’t take a lot of knowledge how to do basic edits, but there are still plenty of instances where disasters have occurred, in which the public sees the undesired effects of a project that wasn’t glanced over (to say the least) before being printed for millions to see.

In this post, we have collected some of the community’s favorite Photoshop disasters of recent years. By no means is this post complete, as Photoshop Disasters (and other blogs) have covered more than 550 of these examples.
