There are a lot of perfectly legitimate reasons to use Photoshop. There’s a great example in this slideshow where someone should have used it to get rid of a naked man in the background. That’s a good, legitimate reason.
But there are also so many advertisements that use Photoshop to create unrealistic standards for human bodies. Especially women. And sometimes they make this obvious.
That’s because of Photoshop fails. Photoshop fails are hilarious and ridiculous. Some show proof of exhaustion or lack of photo editing skills, while others bring to light the ways some media and fashion outlets seek to damage the self-esteem of humanity. You’ll see what we mean.
Here are 70 photoshop fails that are painfully obvious:
Apparently this Catholic calendar wanted Baby Jesus and Mary to be all blinged out. So they Photoshopped some jewels on them. They’re really bad at Photoshop.
Here we have a one legged woman. That or her other leg is hiding in the sweater but that seems unlikely. It just looks real awkward. And no one wears long sweaters without pants. Sorry, but that’s not a thing.
Someone snuck their arm in the photo. Look at the arm of the lady in the white dress. Either there is someone else’s arm grabbing her waist or she has one long ass arm.
These people didn’t even bother to use Photoshop. They clearly copy and pasted. And they even messed that up. This guy is either tucking it back or he has a bulge in his butt.
Someone attempted to Photoshop this woman’s thigh. Now it looks uneven and like a few inches are missing in one spot. Because apparently thin models aren’t even allowed to have human-sized thighs.
Apparently this family left their baby in the care of Thing T. Thing’s cousin. You know the moving hand from The Addams Family. But unlike Thing, his cousin has an arm too.
This woman is admiring the Statue of Liberty. I wonder if she is aware of the fact that she’s about to crash into the Hudson River. She looks a little concerned but not as concerned as she should be.
I’m not sure if I would take lessons from these dudes. They don’t even know how to hold a guitar. Don’t they know that the guitar goes in your hands and not above it.
This used to be a pepperoni slice of pizza. But someone wanted it to be a regular slice of pizza. So they badly Photoshopped out the pepperoni circles with a plain slice.
Here’s another fit woman who wasn’t allowed to be human. Some thought she needed to have unrealistic looking thighs and gave her a giant thigh gap. It looks even worse from the back.
So, that’s not how fidget spinners work. You need two fingers to work it. Clearly this Photoshop person never used a fidget spinner or doesn’t really know how to use Photoshop.
Another Photoshopper who doesn’t know how their product works. This is supposed to be a self stick. This person is supposed to be taking a selfie. And even so, that picture would only get the top of their heads with the angle he is holding that thing at.
The top half of this woman’s body doesn’t match the bottom half. For some reason these people must have been trying to narrow her already extremely tiny waist. Looks like her thighs got a little Photoshop work done too.
Here we have yet another attempt at giving women unrealistic body images. And it’s from a medical publication, not a fashion publication. Olivia Munn’s head looks far too large on her tiny body.
Even beautiful girls feel the need to make themselves look more like what society tells us women should look life. Arzaylea gave herself a Photoshop tummy tuck. But she forgot to straighten out the bottom of OJ. She later deleted the pic from Instagram.
Someone needed a photo of some frothy beers. Apparently, the beer needed more foam than it originally had. The beer in the middle has some nice square foam on it.
French shopping website La Redoute forgot to Photoshop something in this picture. They forgot to get rid of the naked guy in the background. Those poor kids had to run around the beach all day when this guy’s shlong was out. I guess, that’s normal in France though.
This Olympic swimmer looks pretty happy. Not sure why you should Photoshop something like this. But someone Photoshopped a mysterious hand on his shoulder.
There are so many things wrong with this photo. Let’s see, where do we start. First, why is the baby more Asian than anyone else in the family? What was wrong with the face of the original children and husband?
There’s a lot of magical and scientific things that happen in “Doctor Who.” But why aren’t his suspenders connected. And how is it staying in place? Is it magic? Is it science?
Apparently there was a wardrobe change in the middle of this photo shoot. He was wearing a jacket at some point. This Photoshop person forgot to edit out his double sleeve.
54) The Handsy President
This president is pretty handsy. But not like that. He just has an extra hand.
This ad is supposed to show that people are making a lot of money. And making it fast. Then they should have Photoshopped $100 bills in her hand instead of $1 bills. She made $9 from selling a house.
For some reason, someone felt the need to Photoshop the former president and his wife holding hands. Politics are an illusion. Is anything we see real anymore?
The Samsung Tablet can show the future. Or maybe he’s watching a video that he took of the past? But it looks like they probably should have the same shot in the video frame and it was just a Photoshop flub.
This dog has an awfully burly neck. He kind of looks like a llama. It looks like they messed up their Photoshop job when trying to scale the dog against the cat.
These girls are buddy buddy. But they can’t decide if they want to put their arm around one another or stand side-by-side. One of these girls has an extra hand and the other looks like she’s missing an arm.
This is not the view you want to see from your plane window. If this is what you’re looking at, you should prepare for a crash landing. Because a plane should not be flying that low unless it’s about to land at an airport.
This is what happens when the media wants to portray emaciation as a healthy or normal body type. No one buys it. Because it’s just not realistic. Like this actress’ legs in this promo.
