Photoshop Disaster

Okay, so week four of class and here it is this week's assignment; describing a Photoshop disaster and how to fix it if possible. So, I've chosen to use this photo of Beyonce and the disaster with it.

As you can see, whoever it was that tried to photoshop this picture forgot to do one thing and that was take one arm out of the picture. it might be hard to tell at a glance which arm it was without the focus being drawn to it with the red circle.

However, if you can figure out which direction the light was coming from, you could figure out which arm was the one that photoshop was used on. In this case, the light was coming into the photo from the left and so with her arms up, the light would havve caused a slight reflection from the left arm against the right one and you wouldn't have noticed the the sparkles on her dress. not only that, with her arm down on the right (in the photo) her body would have been blocking out a lot of the light reaching her arm and it wouldn't have glimmered as much.

A way to fix this would be to have the arm raised on the right removed. It would have been simple enough to do that by taking parts of the background and covering it in a way that would have looked natural. Not only that, but the person creating the picture might have considered fading the arm just slightly to give it a slightly more shadowed look.
