Photoshop abuse

chialea Ideal Rock Total Posts: 520 Last Post: 9/3/2004 Member Since: 4/20/2004	I've been noticing some truly atrocious abuses of photoshop on the net that leave me rubbing my eyes and saying "you mean you would ship me a ring that looked like THAT??" the obvious example, bluenile's "put a diamond in this ring" preview function. you'd think for the cost of putting that together, they could take some tilted pictues of the diamonds so the rings don't look like they've had their necks broken. (I am assuming that they don't deliever rings with cock-eyed stones, here.) at least in this case it's obvious there's photoshop involved. funnier is this picture: first I look at it and think "wow, how pretty". then I think "that mounting looks funny"... then I think "they didn't even crop the sapphire correctly". (this is not respresented as being photoshopped, btw) anyone else see any interesting uses of photo editing going on?
