Scarlett Johansson Meets Photoshop
August 22, 2010 in Photoshop Job, Scarlett Johansson by Versus
In case you didn’t recognize her, this is Scarlett Johansson in a champagne ad – besides the ‘what did they do to her face?’ issue, a part of her left arm seems to be mysteriously missing. As Photoshop Disasters explains:
No, see, a wave from the sea is in front of her arm. Or her arm is super bendy! Hey actually I think that’s his arm and he’s holding the bottle behind his head.
What do you think of this ad? Does it deserve to join the not-so-exclusive ‘Photoshop Overload’ club?
I like this outfit.
Wow.. Why would they butcher such a beautiful girl?
strange. she is gorgeous regardless!
It looks to me like a composite image I don’t think she was actually hugging someone and the hand looks like the bottle was added and the fingers and thumb have been done from scratch.
Either that or one shoulder is higher up than the other
LOL the little finger on the right hand looks hilarious! and they took too much from her back or something, her boob looks huge : /
what the f***,they ruined her looks,didn`t these people have eyes on their face,they don`t see how strange she came and how impossible to make her arm like that???
She doesn`t even look like her at all
Shes thin but shes not that thin!
why not just hire a model?
i assume a celebrity as popular as scarlett would be much more expensive
this ad is so bad!!!
Tell me about it! Her face is so much prettier in candids. Euch!
Gosh, is that photo Scarlett Johansson?! It doesn’t look like her! If this post didn’t clearly state, “SCARLETT meets photoshop”, then i would not have known it was her!
If a brand want to use Scarlett Johansson to endorse their product, then Scarlett Johansson it should show in its promotional shots…. Not some computarized creation they conjure up because they deem it to be “perfect”. How can something completely unnatural be attractive?
Between the arm and the eyes she looks like a witch or vampire.
As with the Christina Hendricks ad, I’m personally disappointed because she normally looks great in her model shots.
Is this ad new? I’m sure I’ve seen before…
what have they done to her?
she’s such pretty girl already
btw. hand holding the bottle is in quite weird position..
the left arm looks freaky because of the angle of the shot. her elbow is bent and is sticking into the plane of the photo… so it makes the rest of her arm look unattached. try it yourself in a mirror… the arm is seriously the least of my worries with this photo… yipes.
This reminds me of the dolce & gabanna ads featuring Scarlet Johansson in Marilyn Monroe-esque makeup which are sooo photoshopped. Scarlet is pretty, but they photoshop her nose into this incredibly small point barbie nose that she doesn’t really have.
I guess i’m the only one who thinks she looks good, clearly she’s a gorgeous women who doesn’t need photoshop, but everyone should know by now that everything in a magazine is photoshopped. And as for the arm and fingers, i don’t look that intently at an ad to even notice those little,insignificant things.
It’s not the fact they photoshopped her (that’s part and parcel with advertising now) it’s more the fact that they’ve mutated her! Afterall, the whole point of photoshop is to ‘improve’ a photo. I myself didn’t notice the arm until I read it and now looking at it it looks like a silly mistake, like they let a junior intern design it without any supervision! I work in media so I’ve seen some cock-ups in advertising and this looks like one!
i agree pixie. i actually like the ad. she doesn’t look 100 percent like herself..so what. it’s an ad, not reality.
A missing chunk of her arm is insignificant? Lol
It’s insignificant to me….becuz honestly i just glance at ads….not inspect them. I could give a **it if her arm is behind his head. Not a national crisis.
I am just wondering what the heck happened to her other arm. Forget what they did to her otherwise hot face. There’s an arm growing from that guy’s neck. LOL
This is what happened:
He was sucking on her neck so hard her elbow jolted up and the photographer happened to take a picture at that exact moment LOL
What on earth happened to her face? She looks like a flesh eating zombie.
You couldn’t have said it better. She looks like she’s about to turn around and bite the poor guy’s head off.
Just like Christina Hendricks overrrated plain jane.
They should have used someone more exotic like Salma Hayek.
I had seen this ad before and didn’t even dream this was her. What someone said is true: if they’re going to make her look nothing like herself, why hire her? They’d be better off hiring some model, who would cost them less.
And the arm holding the bottle was definitely “planted” there, hehehe
I don’t think they photoshopped her left arm at all. It’s the way she’s posing…her left upper arm goes straight out into the distance of the picture, and because pictures are 2D, we can’t really see where the arm goes.
As for her face, I don’t think they photoshopped that much either. The only thing that looks different is her cheeks…they gave her cheekbones, but I think that’s because they put excessive amounts of bronzer on her. When you take a picture, the shadows and the bronzer will create an illusion of a high cheekbone, instead of her nice plump cheeks.
Not photoshop, but lighting and makeup. Not to say they didn’t use photoshop, it’s just, photoshop is not responsible for why she looks weird.
[...] Scarlett doesn’t look like Scarlett and Kim looks like a slimmer Kim, but with an even more impressive bust-waist-hip ratio. [...]
She looks a blond kim kardashian
In other words “She looks horrible…”. Scarlett was so much prettier before this bad photo shop job – I’m sure of it.
Why do we live in a world where one of the sexiest women in the world has to be photoshopped to look nothing like herself?
our priorities and therefore the media’s priorities need to change… for crying out loud, don’t try to change something that’s not broken.
that’s a beautiful picture. ScarJo looks great
