40+ People On The Internet Who Used Photoshop And Took It To The Extreme
A little photo editing has never done anyone any damage. But it’s crucial to watch out not to lose yourself along the route and look foolish in front of everyone. That category includes some social media users and influencers! They went above and above to redefine the anatomically impossible outcomes in order to create an entirely new, irrational version of themselves. Here are a few illustrations:
The Less You Have, the Better
Think about going through your Instagram account when this woman appears out of nowhere! Yikes! You would undoubtedly be surprised, aren’t we right? Her legs have been heavily Photoshopped to the point where they are hardly recognizable.
Perhaps the newest trend in town is to have limbs that are unrealistic. Maybe wearing shoes that are wider than your thighs is the newest fashion trend. There is some food for thought there. Don’t be fooled by the first half of the image the next time you see anything similar!
Economy Is Not for Me!
Flexing is okay as long as you don’t wind up looking foolish. This particular influencer, or social media user, was exposed when he falsely stated on Snapchat that he would never travel in economy while actually doing just that.
This humorous incident serves as a cautionary tale to watch oneself before acting inappropriately if only to avoid being outed by internet bullies.
Something Seems Off
The maxim of this individual probably goes, “the more unrealistic you make it, the better it is! “After all, aren’t body proportions so archaic in modern society? When Photoshop is available, why worry about seeming realistic?
Something Seems Off
Social media is all about getting famous and putting your best, although edited, self-forward, isn’t it? Putting aside the sarcasm, this guy seemed to interpret this phrase too seriously.
Not Your Average Ballerina!
Forget about the elegant ballerinas you’ve seen in the past! Nothing compares to the surprise this one gives you. In this side-by-side comparison, the original photo from the photographer’s Instagram page is shown beside the influencer’s retouched version.
Not Your Average Ballerina!
The level of beauty and physical aspirations people have for themselves is rather disturbing. People, enough is enough. It’s time to start accepting and embracing yourself for who you are!
Photoshop Your Reflection Too!
It’s okay to have wrinkles. Aging is a natural part of life, after all. However, it’s equally acceptable if you choose to hide those wrinkles for a quick selfie. We don’t think less of you.
Photoshop Your Reflection Too!
But if you’re going to Photoshop your wrinkles away, don’t forget to pay attention to how you seem in the mirror, especially if you’re trying to sell an anti-wrinkle product!
Blinding
We don’t know about you guys, but we were reminded of the Friends episode “The One With Ross’ Teeth” by this obviously edited picture. Ross tries to whiten his teeth in order to appear good for his date.
Blinding
Unfortunately, he leaves the whitening agent on for too long, which causes his teeth to change into an unnaturally bright shade of white. This made it impossible for him to have a full discussion with his date until the lights were turned off. Many people aspire to have pearly whites, but we can assure you that nobody wants glowing white teeth.
Not Born This Way
Who wouldn’t want lovely, doe-like eyes that sparkle? Although everyone loves a good doll appearance, this particular woman overdid it to the point where our own eyes hurt from staring at the picture for too long.
Not Born This Way
Most likely, Margaret Keane’s “Big Eyes” paintings served as its inspiration. Even yet, this woman has such heavily Photoshopped characteristics that it is difficult to tell if you are looking at a real person.
Texture Is Beautiful!
While the world is beginning to understand the dangers of false advertising and overly edited photos, it’s imperative that we also value our uniquely human traits and textures. Constantly seeing poreless, textureless, hairless, wrinkleless, and fake skin all over the internet may be quite deceptive and rather exhausting.
Texture Is Beautiful!
These comparisons serve as a gentle reminder to stop blaming yourself for not meeting your excessive standards for beauty and start accepting the real you. Having textures makes you more human, and they are also lovely.
Asia or Africa?
It’s difficult to discern what is real and what isn’t in most of the photographs we see and are exposed to on social media today because they have been so meticulously and brilliantly manipulated. Consider this image as an example.
Asia Or Africa?
Animals being copied and pasted appears to be trendy. Unfortunately, this woman was unable to distinguish between an African and an Asian elephant. But if we’re being completely honest, that’s not the issue. The issue is why she felt the need to add elephants to her photo using Photoshop.
Ribs Don’t Lie!
Unhealthy beauty standards have now risen to a new level. It appears that the latest fad is to have no ribs, along with having no texture and no fat. Why worry about ribs when you can reduce the size of your waist to the point where it is impossible for your internal organs to function normally?
Yikes! This “look” has become dangerously acceptable, and we don’t support it. These kinds of expectations will probably have an impact on impressionable young minds, making them loathe themselves along the way because they won’t naturally appear like this.
Stick Figures Deserve Clothes, Too!
Have you ever considered how intriguing it might be to be surrounded by a Slenderman in real life? Here is a picture to aid your mental process: the man’s limbs have been digitally altered to the point where you might not even realize you are looking at a genuine person.
It appears that stick figures would also like new pants. After viewing such posts, we begin to question whether a “genuine human” would actually buy these tight pants.
Piercing Eyes
Although it may not be as awful as the other “severe” ones, this one should be obvious to Photoshop fail enthusiasts. Yes, everyone appreciates a pair of eyes that can see right through to your soul.
Piercing Eyes
It’s less flattering when it leads to a poor Photoshop fail, though. Putting jokes aside, it would be quite fantastic if we had access to a pair of orbs with the power to pierce through any material.
Exorcised Elsa?!
Here’s yet another illustration of a photo editor who erred by being a touch too trigger-happy. Although we are confident that the original selfie was flawless, the modified version gives the impression that this woman is an exorcised version of Elsa from the film Frozen.
Exorcised Elsa?!
Keep your children away from this Elsa with two plaits since it seems like she couldn’t “let it go” when it came to Photoshop and destroyed her attractive face by going overboard with the changes. The beanie and snowflakes were lovely extras, we think.
Beauty Delusions
Celebrity photos that are misleading are frequently seen. It often stings to witness the alterations accumulate to the point that you can no longer even recognize the star without all the changes.
Beauty Delusions
In addition to sending a damaging message, the fixation with being “perfect” and conforming to unhealthy beauty standards also places unwarranted pressure on individuals. The ideal illustration is this side-by-side comparison of a certain Chinese star.
Same Girl
Wouldn’t it be fantastic to have the option to put on a fresh face and change your appearance just like you choose your daily attire? Or would it compromise your identity and uniqueness?
Same Girl
Some people on social media, like this person, have taken Photoshop to a whole strange level. This woman has edited her images to the point that she seems like a 12-year-old, in contrast to the numerous young ladies who try to make themselves look older.
Someone Doesn’t Believe in Anatomy
Get ready for another “rib hater” to shock your mind; it seems that having an erroneous anatomical structure is the new global standard of beauty. Photoshopping is OK to a point, but you shouldn’t go so far as to completely conceal your identity.
Someone Doesn’t Believe In Anatomy
It is not acceptable to reject or deny the very qualities you were born with! No of their size or shape, people ought to accept themselves for who they are. Nowadays, influencers have taken Photoshop to an unhealthy degree that even affects people with body dysmorphia.
Hi There
It’s difficult to see why somebody would want to damage their beautifully shaped face. Instead of improving his appearance, this guy turned into an internet joke. The poisonous web of exaggerated Photoshop usage does not spare even guys.
Hi There
Without all those filters and ridiculous alterations, this guy still has a relatively good-looking appearance. Geez! Why would someone subject themselves to that, especially on a dating app? It appears that he wished to make his Sims persona come to life.
Barbie & Ken
Anything is okay in today’s beauty standards as long as you don’t resemble a real person. These two gorgeous people evidently made a deal that they’d one day become one when playing with Bratz dolls as children.
Barbie & Ken
The face-tuned and photo-shopped images are so blurry that they may fool even the most experienced viewer. Can any of these two people even move their faces? They appear to have just undergone a painful round of botox!
Chester, Is That You?
If you’ve ever wondered what Chester the Cheetah, the official mascot of Cheetos, would look like as a person, now you know! In all seriousness, if this woman hadn’t heavily edited the photo, it would have been lovely.
Chester, Is That You?
Everything in this shot has been increased to its furthest extent, from the exaggerated body characteristics to the large eyes to the background. However, she did forget to apply some fake spray tan to her right arm.
I’ve Got Your Nose!
I don’t know about the rest of you, but the moment we saw this picture, we were immediately taken back to our early years, when our parents and other family members would play the “I’ve Got Your Nose” game with us. It appears that someone played the game with this influencer when she was a young child and never handed it to her again.
I’ve Got Your Nose!
I don’t know about the rest of you, but the moment we saw this picture, we were immediately taken back to our early years, when our parents and other family members would play the “I’ve Got Your Nose” game with us. It appears that someone played the game with this influencer when she was a young child and never handed it to her again.
Having Ribs Is So Last Year
Okay, disregard everything you learned in biology. According to certain influencers, ribs are apparently no longer necessary to safeguard your organs. Right, who needs ribs? All humor aside, having the smallest waist is another illustration of the obsessive toxic beauty expectation of today.
Having Ribs Is So Last Year
It’s depressing and terrible to see how meticulously these photos are being altered in order to conform to social media beauty standards.
‘Half’-Hazard!
The fixation with age-inappropriate features and excessively photoshopped skin tones is no longer amusing. This image is the ideal illustration of that. However, given that everyone in the world aspires to such unattainable — and, let’s face it, dangerous — beauty expectations and standards, we can’t really blame them.
‘Half’ Hazard!
However, Kimmy, if you’re going to succumb to peer pressure and publish this on a website for everyone to judge, make sure you do it right! After all, nobody likes a half-airbrushed face!
Mrs. Incredible, Anyone?
It’s no secret that the majority of businesses utilize Photoshop and image editing to promote and sell their products. However, we seldom ever hear about businesses enlarging a model’s chest to promote padded bras or their legs to promote thin pants.
Mrs. Incredible, Anyone
On its website, the online retailer Ali Express offered denim thin jeans. The model’s legs were stretched to the point where she started to resemble Mrs. Incredible from The Incredibles, for some reason, though.
Sketch Artist
Instagram users are very focused on perfecting their photo editing. Nowadays, there are techniques for everything, from making your nose smaller to getting rid of your double chin to making your skin look completely smooth. What transpires, though, if you overdo the photo editing?
Sketch Artist
This is one example of that. What should have been a stunning image was instead transformed into a type of portrait. Since this woman heavily manipulated the image of her face, it might as well have been a doodle. My dear, good luck with the comments!
Thumbs Up
It’s acceptable to modify images; we shouldn’t condemn people who do so. If losing an inch or two from your midsection will make you feel more confident, go for it. If you want to add just a little extra, you might want to contour your full cheeks or color your lips.
Thumbs Up
If you occasionally have spots of uneven skin tone, the texture tool is frequently employed. It is understandable why people employ makeup products and techniques like contouring and highlighter. Even yet, it’s possible that the texture tool she used did not produce the alterations this Instagram user had hoped for.
Skin Vanishing Cream
Scientists and campaigners from all around the world agree that aging is a normal aspect of life and not a flaw. The rest of the globe might not concur, though. You see, worried middle-aged people spend thousands of dollars on anti-aging lotions and serums only to look a day younger.
Skin Vanishing Cream
Companies create serums with the bold claim of turning back the hands of time by ten years in an effort to capitalize on these worriers. After applying, they discover that they are unable to locate an elderly person who resembles a 20-year-old (how startling), so they turn to modify the software and essentially make these women into plastic barbie dolls.
You’re So Vain
When someone learns a new talent, they typically like to share it with their friends or, in this instance, the internet. You might as well declare yourself the next major makeup artist if you’ve been experimenting with different eyeshadows and have perfected liquid eyeliner. You’ve become a fitness goddess if you’ve been working out and seeing results.
You’re So Vain
And while we completely accept that, we don’t understand why this specific social media influencer photoshopped only her face to remove wrinkles while leaving the rest of her photos unaltered. You’re gorgeous, honey, wrinkles or no wrinkles! Take it all in!
Do You Even Need Organs?
What makes up the majority of our body? Bones? Organs? vascular system Are they all? It’s obvious that this Instagram user doesn’t think that organs should be a thing.
Do You Even Need Organs?
She may also believe that a successful day at the gym will magically reduce the size of her stomach to the point where she will no longer be recognizably her.
Bodybuilder Arm
Honestly, everyone? Now that we’ve reached this stage, do we feel the need to alter our biceps? We wonder if this woman is aware that even if your followers can’t see your protruding veins, you can still be a fitness influencer. Actually, we would prefer it that way. Really, there’s no reason to Photoshop another person’s arm onto your body merely to promote a certain kind of protein powder.
Bodybuilder Arm
Additionally, if you’re going to modify your content that heavily, be consistent! You’ll be called out just like this if you don’t. I hope she’s since realized her mistake!
Trespassing Photobomb
If someone takes the ideal self-portrait but the background doesn’t match the image, they frequently utilize a background editor to fix it. If a swarm of napping pigeons fouled the bench behind you, you wouldn’t want people to notice.
Trespassing Photobomb
The same was true for this Instagram user. This woman chose to Photoshop herself onto the hood of a Nissan 370Z in quest of the ideal background; an odd choice, to say the least.
Imposter Alert
For women, editing could entail enlarging the breast or reducing the waist. But how does it differ for men? This guy disproved the widespread belief that males don’t alter their images, at least not in the same way that women do.
Imposter Alert
This guy may have been concentrating on his lats and shoulder muscles too much, failing to see that his back doesn’t match the rest of his body. Yes, that is odd, but we will still give him a B for effort.
Instagram vs. Reality
Let’s face it, this social media influencer looks stunning in both pictures, cosmetics, and no makeup. We have to admit, though, that it’s astonishing to see how many filters, editing programs, and beauty supplies she employed to capture the ideal Instagram selfie.
Instagram Vs. Reality
Whether this young woman has just rolled out of bed in the morning or has dressed up for a night out, what matters most is that she feels gorgeous no matter what. We can tell she’s a really confident lady by the smile she has in the far-right picture, and that’s all we want!
Fake Surgery
One of the saddest things to witness is how heavily superstars alter their images because, more often than not, their admirers will agree, leading them to believe that they must appear a certain way in order to be deemed beautiful. We can clearly observe how much Kim K. has changed from the initial image on the left. For her own Instagram account, she modified the picture.
Fake Surgery
Let’s set aside concerns about her bust, genitalia, or even the dress zipper (why did she feel the need to remove it?). Just look at how much of her face has been altered—her jawline alone has changed. If only well-known people, such as the Kardashian-Jenner family, could accept themselves as they are. Then, devotees wouldn’t alter their own bodies in such a drastic way.
Asian Editing 101
How many individuals modify their faces to look like dolls is surprising, but also lovely. But if doing that makes them feel certain and confident, then more power to them!
Asian Editing 101
This gorgeous lady demonstrates for us how she turned herself into a porcelain-skinned life-size doll. And we must say, we’re genuinely rather impressed!
Embrace All Your Curves
Now go folks. Look at how gorgeous and curvy this woman is! She still felt the need to correct and smooth out her curves, though. Even though we don’t pass judgment on her or anybody else, we just wish she could see how beautiful she is without the editing!
Embrace All Your Curves
It’s doubtful that anyone still looks like themselves at this point in the list. It’s terribly terrible that the social media era has utterly distorted our ideas of what is acceptable.
Find the Similarity
Since you can remember, you’ve been editing your photos; your admirers only know this particular version. until they meet you in person, that is. You should now get a manicure, get your eyebrows plucked, and take a shower.
Find The Similarity
Will it suffice for TV? The camera is not a beauty cam; it is a DSLR or mirrorless! People will notice the differences when they watch you on live TV the same day that you posted that seductive Instagram snapshot. And that’s fine, just be ready for it when it comes!
Getting Festive
We love the holiday season, but we’re not so keen on Photoshopping ourselves till we resemble a doll. We don’t like the look this woman was going for.
Getting Festive
If this is how she celebrates Christmas, she might want to find a different, less-polished spirit. We would likely be horrified if we got a postcard like this!
Nearly a Done Deal
Unfortunately for her, she picked the incorrect backdrop to pose against, despite her hourglass figure almost fooling us. Surfaces with reflections are dead giveaways!
Nearly a Done Deal
If we tried to convince you that the lesson of this narrative is not to edit yourself, we would only be deluding ourselves. We’ll just advise you shouldn’t take photos at nighttime near windows or mirrors.
Sims in Action
Who longs to again play The Sims? Of course, we do! When we were little, we used to love making up characters and having them interact with one another. Although that video game is regarded as being outdated, a fresh simulation is now available.
Sims in Action
Just heavily alter your appearance till you hardly recognize yourself and resemble a video game character. We hope you can see the humor in our tone because we truly think this girl to be quite frightening.
Gone Too Far
We’ve all grown accustomed to the idea that individuals use filters and modify their photos to make their eyes appear more sparkling. But outright lies are unacceptable, and that is exactly what this post is.
Gone Too Far
Everyone can’t afford to drive around in opulent sports vehicles, therefore it’s absolutely fine that that automobile isn’t a Lamborghini. But why make it up? Instead, be grateful that you have a vehicle that can get you from place A to point B.
April Fools!
There is no worse feeling than ordering a delicious dinner from the menu only to find out it is completely different when it gets to your table. Finding a catfish online might provide the same disappointment.
April Fools!
We acknowledge that everyone wants to look their best, but we draw the line at being completely unrecognizable. And you’re only deceiving yourself, in all honesty!
Rock On!
Everyone wants abs! Why not, then? It’s a visible indication of your excellent physical health. The sad truth is that not all of us can achieve these body lines, and for the majority of us, it requires a lot of dedication.
Rock On!
Therefore, in today’s world of instant gratification, we’re all searching for the quickest way to get what we want. However, the solution is not to Photoshop your own abs to look rock-hard!
Own Your Age
There is no question in our minds that J-Lo is stunning and that she is incredibly talented. But she is merely human, just like everyone else. implying that we are all flawed and that as we age, our faces begin to show that.
Own Your Age
So instead of editing herself to look perfect, we advise her to accept that and set an example for others. Who else is here?
One Big Edited Family
The two adorable tiny dogs are the only ones in this image that appear to be real. Who among the two males appears more touched up is unknown. It appears as though they hired a novice Photoshop enthusiast to enhance their family shot, starting with the tan (on the left side) and moving on to the brows and eyes.
One Big Edited Family
They should ask for a complete refund if that’s the case because they both appear to be very foolish. The looks on our faces when we first saw this are exactly reflected in those unfortunate pets.
Take Me to Rome
We are aware of how difficult things are right now and how much the travel restrictions are affecting most of us. After all, being unable to travel easily has presented its fair share of difficulties; after all, it is one of the greatest gifts we have.
Take Me To Rome
As a result, many of us are turning to posting nostalgic pictures of earlier, happier times. This tendency is very understandable because, well, why not? Photoshopping ourselves into locations where we weren’t is something we, nevertheless, find difficult to comprehend.
Millennial Culture
With the advent of social media, brands are now more important than ever. This applies to all businesses, not simply those with high-end reputations in fashion.
Millennial Culture
Starbucks is the most well-known coffee shop in the world when it comes to coffee. When folks pick up their daily order there, we can understand why they might want to post, but this is what we don’t get: Don’t you have something more worthwhile to do with your time?
Muscle to the Power Infinity
You’re aware by now that even males use Photoshop to increase their self-confidence. In order to impress their male and female pals, this mainly entails flexing the muscles.
Some people will swear they’ve never missed a day of working out as a justification for their obscenely muscular photograph. This man probably enlarged his biceps to their maximum size because he couldn’t abide by the fact that his friend who became his arch-enemy had larger arms than he had.
Five-Year Challenge
Romantic selfies are a big part of the night when you’re out on a date. This pair appeared to upload the photos at two different times when it was time to share them with the world—or the internet—despite having recorded some stunning moments.
Five Year Challenge
The original, which is of a guy, is on the far left and is pretty beautiful. However, as you can see, the woman’s version (far right) has undergone significant editing. Yes, she still resembles herself to some extent, but not sufficiently.
Faux Kate Olsen
After watching instructions for hours, you literally caked on layers of cosmetics, but you still weren’t able to get skin that looked natural. Thank your lucky stars that you have access to the technology that will enable you to obtain the desired look.
Faux Kate Olsen
This woman must be a huge fan of Kate Olsen because there are striking similarities. When compared to the comparative image on the far left, her eyes, skin tone, nose, and even the t-shirt appear to have undergone extensive editing. If she recognizes herself, we wonder.
Thumb War
You would be greatly incorrect if you assumed that this was similar to the other manipulated images on this list. Yes, this woman’s waist, tummy, and curves have been altered, but that isn’t what this article is about.
Thumb War
Her two thumbs’ appearance is what most fascinates us. These thumbs don’t resemble sisters or twins. They might be distant relatives. We are left wondering whose thumb this woman unjustly stole.
Edit of the Year
Since the year is coming to an end, it would be appropriate to take a look at the year’s edit. With her piercing blue eyes and neat ponytail, this woman captures the attention of her audience in her Instagram posts.
Edit Of The Year
Though it appears that this woman woke up on the wrong side of the bed in the image on the far right. Or perhaps she neglected to tweak her cheekbones and jawline. Photoshop can only accomplish so much in the real world.
