When used correctly, Photoshop can be a very effective tool that can alter, enhance, and improve photos. Unfortunately, if used incorrectly, it can be very obvious that the image was altered in some way, usually in a hilariously bad fashion. This was the case when FOX Sports attempted to photoshop one players head onto another players body, leading to ridicule from around the internet.<\/p>\n

First, some background on the situation. The Minnesota Vikings, members of the NFC North division in the NFL, were popular picks to make the playoffs this season, lead by All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson and young quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Unfortunately for the Vikings, Bridgewater suffered a serious knee injury toward the end of training camp that ended his season prematurely. The Vikings then traded for another quarterback, Sam Bradford of the Philadelphia Eagles. After taking a week to learn the playbook, Bradford was the starting quarterback of the Vikings, and has led to a 5-0 record thus far (despite also losing Peterson to an injury as well).<\/p>\n

Some eagle-eyed viewers this past Sunday noticed something odd about a graphic FOX was running to promote the\u00a0Vikings next game. The image is below.<\/p>\n

\"bradford\"<\/p>\n

At first glance, the image doesn’t seem too bad. The photoshop job isn’t terrible, until you realize a few things<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Teddy Bridgewater is a very slender quarterback, Bradford is much more stocky and much taller<\/li>\n
  2. Bradford does not wear gloves when he plays, Bridgewater does.<\/li>\n
  3. The head seems very oversized compared to the body.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Not surprisingly, people noticed the errors right away and had a field day with the jokes. News outlets started picking up the story<\/a>\u00a0left and right<\/a>. People wondered why FOX did not just use an image of Bradford himself, as there are plenty of images of him in a Vikings uniform. The photoshop job was bad enough to catch the attention of the Vikings themselves, who responded with some hilarious (and pretty good) photoshop jobs<\/a> themselves.<\/p>\n

    In the end, if there are images that exist of what you are trying to Photoshop, maybe just use those instead and spend your time doing something else.<\/p>\n
