Photoshop Disasters: When Layers Go Wrong

Pro tip: When you decide to recolour the hair of a model on your clothing website, ensure all the layers are visible when you save the picture for use on the internet. Otherwise, you’ll end up looking as stupid as the designers of this online shop.

This is one of the best posts I’ve seen over at Photoshop Disasters. Who knows, maybe this woman does have white and grey hair that’s so neatly patterned. Somehow I doubt it, though. Sadly the image has been removed from US store J.Crew’s website, but here’s a screenshot for posterity’s sake. [Photoshop Disasters via Neatorama]

    I think she looks pretty funky, but what happens with the pattern when the wind is blowing through her hair?

    How the fuck does that happen? Do they not even look at what they’re saving, uploading, or displaying?

      In those sorts of Graphic art jobs you have hundreds of pics like that to go through, it’s easier than you think o make stupid mistakes and then just completely miss it as you go straight onto the next bazillion almost identical jobs in the pile.

    How does that happen since Photoshop doesn’t save the checker board pattern?

      They probably took a screenshot of the image, because they didn’t know how to export as an image.

    Does anyone have any idea what a “clut classic” is?
    A little heavy on the transparency layer at the hairdressers, I reckon.
    Either that, or some really freaky balding pattern.

    could it be deliberate to draw attention to the garment?

    It’s a new shampoo I think, makes your hair so clean it becomes transparent

    This is totally fake. Only way this could happen is if they took a screenshot and uploaded that. Highly doubtful since product imagery is usually uploaded as a large image.

    Well they still haven’t fixed it. If you go to the website:
    http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/NewArrivals/blazersandvests/PRDOVR~71042/71042.jsp

    And hover the last one on the far right of the thumbnails, it’s showing JUST her hair!
