A company apologized for publishing a poorly modified picture of people visiting a landscape project in Yuhang, East China's Zhejiang province.

In the picture published on the Yuhang government website (www.yuhang.gov.cn/), five people seem to be floating in the air while looking at a green belt on May 8.

"We made a serious mistake in operation. We are deeply sorry," the company responsible for the landscape project said in a statement. It admitted the picture was modified on Photoshop because the original two were not "good."

A similar Photoshop gaff went viral on the Internet in 2011 when a picture of three officials in Huili County, Southwest China's Sichuan province, was so clearly edited on Photoshop, with their feet floating above an ungraded road.

The combo shows two original photos and a modified one, published on the official website of Yuhang government in Zhejiang province.
