Our Top Retouched Images

Posted on February 11, 2010 by Steve

Sometimes they can be funny, sometimes thought provoking, other times they just mess with your mind. They’ll always take your breath away though and make you wonder at the skills of the people that created them. The following images are our favourite manipulated images. If you’ve seen better we’d love to hear from you.

As a fellow PhotoShopper, I was very intrigued by these photos. I can see how some of this really took a long time.

It just makes me think of all the zoomed In erasing Required to get these people by themselves, and also the Reflections on a Flooded Street. If that is photoshopping… man… I can only imagine how long that actually took.

Steve on February 26, 2008 at 10:22 am said:

Those of you who dismiss Image 20 as “just a Terragen/3D-Model render” with the imputation that this picture lacks artistic merit, obviously have zero experience with these applications. Images such as this represent many hours of creative work in a completely different skillset to those who use Photoshop. It’s not just a matter of “generate landscape and click render”. It’s digital 3D sculpting, in which not only the form of the landscape is modelled, but the application and positioning of textures and objects,and setting up the lighting and cameras. In essence, a 3D modeller is not just a painter and sculptor, he is also a stage and set designer, lighting technician and cameraman. So don’t dismiss this form of art. It’s every bit as challenging and skilled as working with a paint package.

Yup, several of these had nothing to do with Photoshop, except of course using it to reduce resolution and save to compressed format. I see at least one physical model, at least one rendering from Blender or a similar 3D modeller, and at least one made in a vector editor.

But of course, the whole point is to promote the Adobe marketing gimming of using Photoshop[TM] as a verb. Since there’s nothing special or unique
about Photoshop[TM], it may be necessary to cheat a little to differentiate the brand.

The woman who fell with the eggs is a real photo. She is lying in the middle of miniature house models.
The air balloon one is a painting. The 2 after it are done in 3d modeling software… and the 2 after that are just stupid.
The woman with the child is an original photo as well – all the did is mess with colours (same goes for the picture with the pearcing).
really when all you do is change colours and overexpose the picture… bad top 40 list

This means that when you go to the gallery page (http://www.worth1000.com/galleries.asp?rel=Plantimals&display=photoshop&id=8163), the main image is often one of the best images which are the ones in this list.

I suggest you do some better research and start giving artists credit when you include their images on your little blog. Some of the pictures you’ve printed absolutely are not ‘photoshopped’ in the least. Some of them are honest photographs and some of them are paintings — and in both cases, I doubt the artist appreciates your republishing them incorrectly and without giving them credit.

As far as I know the photo with the girl who has fallen with the eggs is not photoshopped. The photographer makes miniature landscapes and uses models to give them a larger than life appearance. I’ve seen them somewhere but do not recall who the photographer is… If I had the information I would post it.

#15 is NOT a photoshop job. They built a small scale town for that shoot. Get your facts straight… I was gonna say the same thing. and add the orange frog is my fav, while about half of these are subpar photoshop skills

Hello. Someone was kind enough to inform me that you were using one of my images here (the x-ray). In the future, it would be nice if you asked the artists’ permission before using their work. I would have granted it. It would have also been nice to have been given credit for it. If anyone is interested, it was originally created for
this Fark contest.

Some of these are great, but some of them really aren’t impressive. So somebody can cut and paste or use a filter. Whoopie. I think this collection needs trimmed a little.

Not bad, seen better for sure. Couple of these arn’t really photoshopped, though.
If I’m not mistaken, #15 was a sculpture.
Ron on February 12, 2008 at 11:53 pm said:

Nice but the one with the large girl and small houses is real. I read that the photographer has mini sets built for her.
Ollie on February 12, 2008 at 11:25 pm said:

Haha, FAKE! Seriously, #57 is right, that one with the girl in the mini town was done by an artist who built a little town and took photos of women in said small town. It was pretty cool, actually, cant remember where I saw it but still..

My favourites: The frog, the glass of water and the paint dress, very cool.

I didn’t like a few of them, especially the disturbing ones, but I liked most of the others, even the ones with zebras and horses. It would have been nicer with a few more kittens, but as one writer said they sure take your breath away, and the coolness of human creativity and impressive photo art shopping and generous sharing of the glistening shiny unpolishable results will remain forever with all of us in our minds and our hearts and our souls even.

90% of these photos are terribly shopped, i noticed 2 that are obviously purebred Bryce – having no photoshopping done at all. most of this is garbage that someone with 50 hours photoshop experience should be able to pull off flawlessly. this is a fail, and I was greatly disappointed.
