Totally PhotoshoppedSomething causing much public amusement over here at the moment is the Spanish Royal Family's Christmas card. This year's effort featured the King and Queen with all of the royal grandchildren. If you give the card more than a cursory glance you'll notice that the picture's very strange. For example, the plants next to the couch float, the light looks all weird and King Juan Carlos doesn't appear to have any legs.
The palace has had to own up to the fact that the card is in fact a composite of images, since schedules meant the entire family wouldn't be together in time for the photo. Meanwhile, El Mundo has it's own collection of Photoshopped versions, some of which come out better than the original royal effort, testimony to the crappiness of the job. You'd think they would have been able to afford better? Or maybe the King did it himself?
