Talk about a [Photoshop] disaster

That's a photo taken by Annie Leibovitz. Find something wrong with it? Look at Sam Mendes' sleeves. Now, we wonder how much did Vanity Fair pay Annie Leibovitz for this, and more importantly, how come no one at VF realised the obvious Photoshop disaster?

Hey. Give the lady a break. 15 million in debt and having just given away the rights to all her photos ( past and present ) she is entitled to be feeling a little frazzled. Plus who's to say his jacket was only being worn on one arm. R

Why blame her?

Do we know for certain it was an error on Ms. Leibovitz' part, and not on another photo editor's part? It may be she provided the raw materials and VF had the rights to do with the image what they will. Unless you know who made the error, why the arrogance in blaming her immediately?
