HORRENDOUS!

Bloomingdales turned a perfectly innocent model into a mutant, giving her the pointiest, most elongated elbow we've ever seen.

Did you folks even try looking at these images using the new "Big Shots" view?

If you had, you might have noticed that it doesn't work particularly well. I'd prefer to be able to see the entire image.

Some beta-testing next time, please.

That elbow is scarier than any horror movie I've seen this year.

new slideshow applet is a bit of a fail in itself.

This kind of thing just pisses me off: I'm a very talented graphic artist/illustrator that had to leave NYC due to cost of living and these incompetent designers getting hired instead of me.

I know. Today, anyone with a Photoshop license and pretending to use the Filter tool is called a graphic designer. I feel for you bro! F&F

I'm pretty sure this slide show business is way more fail than any of the photoshop blunders that I can't see because your user interface is no good.

These slide shows are becoming so desperate for subject matter.... it shows.

This slideshow plug-in is awful!

I am really disliking these pop-out slide show things.

This slideshow app makes me want to punch my monitor!

The girl on the dock with the man behind has bigger problems then her leg looking wierd. She's missing her fingers!

again, clearly wrapped in the towel. There is nothing wrong with that picture other than it containing two vapid looking people.

The "Out on a limb" one is funny, because not only is her right leg bone not connected, check out her right hand holding the skirt up. How long can that forearm be????

Don't forget People mags cover of Kate Gosselin. The bikini cover was airbrushed so badly her navel was erased.

Another epic-fail at Photoshop was Yaya DaCosta's cover photo for the September issue of W Magazine. Yaya is a thin woman who happens to have breasts and they destroyed her natural appearance. Check it out here-->http://www.wmagazine.com/celebrities/2010/09/young_actresses_ss#slide=3

Guess I don't get to view the slide show because the widget is not working right. The pictures keep disappearing. How about a nice simple jQuery glider?

I just don't see the "amputee" error. Anyone?

I didn't get to see anything.

It's somewhat awkward, but otherwise it just looks like the woman is sitting down and holding her legs. It's strange because the pic cuts off the right side of her body and the bottom. 99% of the time when you're showing someone in a contracted position (be it the lotus position, kneeling, etc)
you show the entire body.
