Photoshop... Kinda ruins it...

[–]Porkfish 419 points420 points ago

Correction: OBVIOUS photoshop ruins it.

[–]zebtacular 107 points108 points ago

If you look close you can see that the cat in this picture is not real.

Also funny because the clip in this gif is from the film Top Hat.

[–]J4Seriously 24 points25 points ago

This one, you can actually tell by the pixels.

[–]Sawgon 13 points14 points ago

Photoshop using one of the oldest stock photos ever.

[–]The-Jake-Gatsby 10 points11 points ago

[–]TheBigBrainOnBrett 3 points4 points ago

[–]orthag 5 points6 points ago

Put on the fucking filter.

[–]BlackMercury15 1 point2 points ago

Mister, if you let me go I wont press charges. I wont tell anyone.

It puts the filter on the image. It does this whenever it's told.

Please, I just want to go home. Please?!

It puts the filter on the image or it gets the hose again.

My mom's a really important person. My family, they'll pay whatever ransom you're asking for.

PUT THE FUCKING FILTER ON THE IMAGE!

[–]Vexarium -1 points0 points ago

So, cutout filter really?

[–]oblivinite 0 points1 point ago

What software did you use to get a vector of an image like that?

[–]iVectorize 0 points1 point ago

Photoshop CS6.

[–]oblivinite 0 points1 point ago

Oh I thought you were using some swanky new vectoring software, but it seems I ought to clear up some confusion. Photoshop can't vector. Vector isn't an art style, it's a file type. When creating the image, if it has pixels it's a bitmap, if it has infinitely scalable shapes it's a vector. Just thought I should let you know

[–]iVectorize 0 points1 point ago

I use Photoshop CS6 to professionalize my vectorized images. The vectoring software I use will remain anonymous. Thanks for the info, though. It's interesting, but not important.

[–]SheeK -1 points0 points ago

but still cute though

[–]Lore86 -1 points0 points ago

Yeah... if you watch closely you can see they removed the monocle...

[–]TGSICaptain 76 points77 points ago

If you're going to shop something, shop it better.

[–]gobearsandchopin 17 points18 points ago

Well here was my attempt a couple months ago with my friend's cat, Tony. He waited patiently for the shopping to finish, as anxious as he was to get his pic up on the internet.

For those of us who are not that great at photoshop, top hats are hard...

[–]sbwdux 7 points8 points ago

Mmmyes, quite.

[–]circle_[S] -2 points-1 points ago

I didn't shop it. I agree though, it could have been done better.

[–]ArachnophobicSpider 41 points42 points ago

[–]theaggressivenapkin 11 points12 points ago

[–]gifwasbetter 18 points19 points ago

This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time, blah blah blah...

[–]Skittnator 4 points5 points ago

I could tell from using that same top hat stock photo before to give myself a tophat.

[–]MrXBob 18 points19 points ago

What? Are 2,272 people blind to the obvious Photoshop?

[–]TheActualAWdeV 11 points12 points ago

Nope, but even shopped it's adorable.

[–]andyoudoknowthat 10 points11 points ago

No. You stop that right now. THERE ARE STANDARDS, MAN.

[–]SoFlo_Homo 0 points1 point ago

There are no standards.. TO CUTENESS.

[–]redpandaeater 0 points1 point ago

I agree with standards. Time to make /r/catswithhatswitharms

[–]TheActualAWdeV 0 points1 point ago

Yes, yes there are. If it was wearing an actual hat it would've been much better but it's still quite adorable.

[–]brainleak 4 points5 points ago

This isnt TF2

[–]reddittinglongnhard 4 points5 points ago

I think top hats are adorable, but they ruined this top hat photo by shopping in a cat.

[–]Bremmers 1 point2 points ago

So obvious that it's photoshop

[–]Kosard 5 points6 points ago

I hate it when you can see the fucking white pixels from to bottom/top/sides of the shoped in item to the photo.

[–]Ferdinandoh 3 points4 points ago

[–]blueballz02 3 points4 points ago

[–]project_asshole 2 points3 points ago

No....no it's not. Why is this shit on the front page?

[–]redditorsass9802 2 points3 points ago

i can tell it's photoshoped. we all can.

[–]Khanator 2 points3 points ago

[–]Xet 2 points3 points ago

Uh... No, it isn't.

[–]pabstafarian 10 points11 points ago

I don't know if anybody has mentioned this yet, but this is obviously photoshopped...

[–]Male_Librarian 6 points7 points ago

[–]QuintinT 0 points1 point ago

While I hovered over that link it wasnt loading that fast and missed the part where the mum smacked to baby one so it looked like the cat jumped for no reason then started crying

More like a shop hat!

That was horrible. I'll show myself out.

[–]BearAnt 4 points5 points ago

I'm not great at photoshop or anything, but sometimes a little imperfection sells the picture. http://imageshack.us/a/img39/4052/n8vgy.jpg

Still looks shopped though, just not as much.

[–]herrokan 3 points4 points ago

apply some blur to the whole hat and then it wont loook shopped i think. also you have to reposition the hat a little bit

[–]HONEST_ABE_APPROVES 1 point2 points ago

The biggest issue is the angle the hat is turned and the angle the cat is facing do not line up whatsoever

[–]pkbarrel 1 point2 points ago

Is it just the hat that's Photoshopped? I wasn't sure if the depth of field in the original wasn't just a quick mask...I can't make any sense of it from looking. Anyone with expertise tell if it was done in camera?

EDIT: Looking closer at the original I can kind of see that it was done in camera... just some of the squidginess on the fuzzies made me confused...
