- New Chinese Photoshop pics go viral
- Bad editing has officials hovering over path
- Last years inspectors became stars of the internet
A YEAR after they were ridiculed for some of the worst Photoshop efforts on record, officials in China are at it again.
The Zhejiang Hangzhou Yuhang local government has become the butt of jokes around the internet after publishing pictures on their website of officials "floating" over a new landscaping project.
The terrible quality of the work includes one man's legs blending into the bushes so it looks like he's partly buried in the ground and another floating above the brick pathway.
Photoshop skills in China have not developed over the past year. In June 2011 pictures in the Huili County website showed officials inspecting a newly completed highway.
The pictures included a trio of officials hovering over the highway and made the local government area a laughing stock when the photos went viral.

The cut and paste quality of the pictures was made worse by the fact the officials did actually inspect the road but the website decided to use the badly Photoshopped pictures instead.
The Huili County Government apologised for the photos and later took them down.
"A government employee posted the edited picture out of error . . . The county government understands the wide attention, and hope to apologise for and clarify the matter," a Huili official told the state-run Xinhua news agency at the time.
But it was all too late. The picture� inspired countless parodies, including showing the men on the moon, at the final of 2006 soccer World Cup and surrounded by dinosaurs.
It didn't take long before the parodies started appearing. Here, the officials survey Jurassic era highways. Picture: Supplied
