Macy's Joins Ralph Lauren in PhotoShop Disaster Zone
Macy’s (M) has followed Ralph Lauren into PhotoShop disaster territory (image below). Adorning one of their mall-based sites in New Jersey is this image of a woman whose thigh is longer than her torso, and whose torso is thinner than said thigh. Of course, it could be the camera angle and a fish-eye lens. Ri-i-i-ight. But that still doesn’t explain the horrible injury to her right shoulder.
The picture flanks the entrance to Macy’s in the Newport mall in Jersey City, N.J., where the most fashionable bloggers do their Christmas shopping.
