Is this just me, or is this a really bad photoshopping job?

Gigi

I saw this pic at BR:

Is it just me, or does this look really bizarre? It looks like they nipped in the waist way too far, and I cannot figure out why the sleeve on the left side is so poufy.

I see this a lot, although not always this bad (curse of the Photoshop expert -- I always notice bad Photoshop!). The top was too big on the model, and they went way overboard in trying to compensate. Ugh.

Janet, being so sensitive to photoshopping is probably a good thing in a way, because you might not be as easily swayed by doctored photos as the rest of us poor lemmings.

I know that waist nipping is par for the course for these types of pics. But wow, they really took a big chunk out of this gal! And it looks to me like they didn't even get her waist in the right spot. It's up too high. I'm very high waisted, but my waist isn't above my elbow! Eek!

It's rather hilarious and frightening at the same time, isn't it.

Yes, Gaylene! Agreed. I wonder if people will complain and if BR will reedit the photo. Must watch...

You know what I wish for these, that they would leave the models bra showing through the fabric if it does. How much simpler would that make shopping for silky and gauzy things!

Wow, yeah, you can see the blurring where they removed stuff.

But for the record my natural waist is higher than my elbows.

Diana, I guess to be fair, mine is in line with my elbows. I apologize if my comment was insensitive.

Wow, Theodora, I hadn't noticed that! It makes me wonder if they amputated the arm on the left and then moved it down. Yikes!

I don't have any experience with photoshop. Sadly, I am one of those poor lemmings that believes everything I see. I can only see a photoshop fail once someone else has pointed it out to me.
