Happy Friday. Over at Vogue magazine, it seems the retouching crew was a little remiss with Mario Testino’s shot of Kate Moss and her daughter Lila –seems they…er…left off a few of her daughters fingers. Or worse, that her daughters fingers actually fused into her mom’s back.
So, we all know Photoshop happens. They’re in there taking out zits and making people skinnier than they really are, and taking out wrinkles and on and on. Yes, yes, we all “know” this. But is “oops, I just left off a few body parts” excusable? I don’t know where I stand on this. It’s a beautiful shot, but the sophomoric blunder isn’t lost on me.
Do YOU even care, or is it just expected that there will be some mistakes and faux pas along the way, so we should just get on with it anyway….?

lol… I can’t see what were they doing for this to happen. What were they retouching there?
It looks like a mask over the daughter wasn’t “cleaned up” enough, I can easily see how it would happen but as has been said, its the cover of one of the most well known magazine’s in the world, if it wasnt checked before publishing, someone didn’t do their due diligence to ensure it was print ready.
Happy World Photography Day!!
Who cares about the hands..important thing is that they are nude, really everyday situation mam feed her 12y old child. 🙂
Its a fashion magazine, with super tight deadlines, art directors & photo editors approving things faster than the speed of light. The crap they do in fashion, this is just an oversight.
You have seen “The Devils Wears Prada” havent you?
I couldnt care 1 lick.
Let me see… could this be some sort of one-button-retouch-plug-in that trying to fix the two fingers, which were extruded beyond the mother’s back? (If so, I have no idea why they don’t remove the other finger of opposite hand just below.) Or they just overlooked (at like… oh, I don’t know… 500% zoomed in maybe?) while trying to smooth out every inch of the skin. Oh, but I can think of better ways to do skin retouch without accidentally removing body parts… Whatever the reason, whoever did the post process seemed to be in a hurry, and didn’t zoom back out to check the big picture.
