Rating the photoshop for bird products I found on Amazon
It’s a classic story: You want to sell a product for bird owners on Amazon. Your potential customers may just need some reference for how big your product is, or may need to be shown how a bird might use such an exotic item as a “perch”. But you don’t want to wrangle one or more birds for the sake of a product image. So you turn to photoshop.
Let’s take a moment to rank some of these works of art:
Delightful. The masking is a bit off around the crest, but I don’t think it needs to be fixed. 9/10, you got the point across.
A rare example of a bird that is not lost in a white void. Based on the product description, this perch should actually be several inches smaller than a cockatiel, but as we’ll see we can’t get too picky about scale. 6/10, perspective could use some work.
Interesting color of macaw, FASCINATING take on the relative sizes of macaws and lovebirds. 4/10, the lovebird seems to be enjoying themself but I think you’re trying to pretend a macaw wouldn’t toss this thing around like an overpriced foot toy.
Why doesn’t the cockatiel get to play? 4/10, this makes me sad.
That bird might have actually been standing on that skateboard when they were sucked into the white void! Amazing! 13/10, cockatiel finally gets to play!
This toy’s largest dimension is 18.5 inches. Blue-and-gold macaws are around 30–34 inches. 2/10, please the lies have to stop.
This is just a collage. It no longer feels like they’re trying to tell me how big these things are; I might not know how big your wicker heart with streamers is, but I know a lorikeet is smaller than a macaw. Incredulity has stretched far enough to snap. 3/10, still pretty birds.
2/10, hey wait I know that macaw–
The birds and toys hang in a void. There is no suggestion that these birds were ever near these toys, but the blue parakeet has been artfully depicted as perching on one of them. I do not feel deceived, I feel informed. 10/10.
No. No. What have you done?? Did the mirror eat his face? Why did you let the mirror eat his face? Please, destroy the mirror before it comes for us all. 1/10, I swear I’ve seen that bird somewhere else.
If you go through the video frame by frame you can see the outside of the plane.
Then I looked up a list of planes commonly used for skydiving and this was the only one that matched the description of a single-engine, low-wing plane with fixed landing gear and a slight mid-span bend in the wings.
