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:
1) Gigi Hadid’s Arm
Someone’s arm is extra long in this photo. Can you tell who? It’s Gigi Hadid’s. It’s spanning Kendal jenner and Ashley Graham.

2) No Legs
Do these people have no legs and amazing upper arm strength? Are they halved ghosts? We’ll have to ask the dog.

3) Bling Baby Jesus
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.
4) She’s Watching You
I think this child might be a demon. That or she has two faces. One on the side of her head.

5) One Legged Woman
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.

6) Broken Neck Shower
Is this lady OK? She looks like she broke her neck. Is this a shower for broken necks?

7) Sneaky Arm
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.

8) Backwards Bulge
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.

9) Uneven Thigh
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.

10) Thing T. Thing’s Cousin
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.

Taylor Lautner is big on keeping track of time. He’s wearing two watches. Well, one is in his reflection.

12) Mile Long Arm
This woman has the longest arm I’ve ever seen. It’s also kind of crooked. Maybe that’s what happens when you get an unlimited swimming membership.

13) Backwards Legs
Here’s another person who looks seriously injured. That leg is all messed up. It’s backwards. How do you not notice that?
14) Not a Straw
That straw isn’t a straw. It’s a Photoshop line tool. It was easier to do that than Photoshop a straw in.

15) Crashing
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.

16) Disappearing Torso
Did Adam Levine lose weight? It doesn’t look like he’s been working out. It looks like someone chopped off half of his torso.

17) Playing Guitar
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.

Emerald Mew
18) No Pepperoni
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.

19) Known For Her Giant Head
What did they do to this woman? Did they shrink her body? Or did they blow up her head?

20) Avril’s Arm
They really wanted to emphasize Avril’s waist here. And her sexiness. So much so that they erased part of her arm.
Source:
Maxim
21) Thigh Gap
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.

22) Magic Pudding
This pudding is magic pudding. It floats! You really can eat it anywhere… without hands!

23) Self Spinning Fidget
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.

24) Non Selfie Stick
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.

25) Top Half and Bottom Half
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.

26) The Nipless Wonder
Did you know that Chrissy Teigen doesn’t have nipples. She has to draw them on. But sometimes she forgets.

43) Photoshop Tummy Tuck
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.

48) Lack of Photoshop
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.

49) Phantom Hand
This Olympic swimmer looks pretty happy. Not sure why you should Photoshop something like this. But someone Photoshopped a mysterious hand on his shoulder.

50) So Many Things
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?

51) Doctor Suspenders
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?

57) $9
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.

58) False affection
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?

61) Floating Credit Card
Yup. This was actually printed and put on display. Another person who lied about their Photoshop skills.

65) Prepare For a Crash Landing
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.
