10 of the worst Photoshop disasters - in pictures. China officials in new Photoshop fail. With an eerie floating head and torso looming above a doll-sized figure, it could be a still from a supernatural movie.
Instead the image now spreading far and wide is another spectacular Photoshop fail for Chinese officialdom. The comically inept piece of doctoring, published by the government of Ningguo in Anhui province, was intended to show the concern of vice-mayor Wang Hun and other officials as they visited an old lady in the city.
