Retouched photos are everywhere. You can see them in magazines, buses, posters, and even social media. Because of how common they are, itโs easy to feel that editing photos is normal.
Well, people have different views when it comes to photo editing. Some feel that retouching photos is just a part of making them look as good as possible. Others consider it as a form of lying.
The debate on the advantages and disadvantages of using apps and filters to change a personโs look is still ongoing. And honestly, itโs not going to end anytime soon.
So while people are still debating, check out these 50 people who took photo retouching a bit too far.
1. Press photos vs interview
This womanโs photos are almost always heavily edited and she rarely posts interviews. Because of that, almost everyone on her social media pages thinks she really looks like the bottom two photos.


2. Not pregnant
The brand is probably having a hard time finding a real pregnant woman to model their clothes. They had to photoshop this womanโs belly to look like sheโs expecting. Unfortunately, they didnโt do an awesome job.


3. Spineless
This woman is setting a new standard. Apart from having a tiny waist, she also has no spine.


4. Two suns
This spot is perfect for those who like to stay under the sun. As you can see, there are two suns in the area. Oneโs behind the woman and the other oneโs in front of her.


5. Missing pendant
At first glance, you wouldnโt think that this photo was edited. Itโs the missing necklace that gave it away.


6. In photo vs video
This is one good reason why you should never trust the photos you see on Instagram. If youโre in doubt about oneโs look, find a video of that person. Unlike photos, videos are harder to edit.


7. Awkward cleavage
Thatโs one weird-looking chest area for a woman. Honestly, it looks more like a chest plate than a cleavage.


8. Just too much
Itโs hard to understand what style this woman was aiming for when she edited her photo. The shape of her head doesnโt look normal at all. It looks like a peanut!


9. No space for organs
The abdomen contains several vital organs. Apart from the large intestine and small intestine, the abdominal cavity also houses the liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, adrenal glands, and stomach. With how small this womanโs abdomen is, itโs hard to understand where all of her organs are.


10. The person at the back
If youโre trying to find out if a photo is edited or not, check the background. If itโs edited, youโll likely see some weird looking people at the back like the one in this photo.


11. White
His teeth are so white! He must have used a different kind of toothpaste to get that color.


12. Down there
Of all the things this guy could edit, he chose a really weird part. He must be so worried about the people whoโll look down there.


13. Clear skin
Seeing a woman with really clear skin on social media can affect your confidence. However, in reality, they are just as insecure as you are. Theyโre using filters and apps to make themselves look better.


14. Filters
Filters were made to enhance photos. They werenโt made to make people look unrecognizable.


15. Just pretending
This woman did it for the โgram. Itโs clear that she doesnโt know what sheโs doing. Her chess pieces are in the wrong places!


16. No reflection
If youโre going to edit something, you have to make sure that you donโt make mistakes or leave clues. In this case, the woman removed her reflection on the mirror.


17. Social media vs reality
Itโs creepy how filters can make a person look several years younger in an instant. With just a few clicks, this woman was able to look 20 years younger.


18. So flawless
Hair follicles and ankles are normal. However, for some reason, this brand thinks theyโre not. They removed those parts as they were editing the shoes to fit the modelโs feet.


19. Really tall
With how long her legs are, she wouldnโt need any help in changing those bulbs. She wouldnโt even need ladders. Itโs crazy how she photoshopped her legs to be that long.


20. Young-looking
Thereโs nothing wrong with trying to look better and younger on camera. Just make sure that if you do edit your photos, youโd still look recognizable. These photos show exactly what you should avoid.


21. Unrecognizable
He cropped someone elseโs eyes and placed them on his face. Apart from that, he also edited his jaws and nose. In the end, he doesnโt look like himself anymore.


22. Setting standards
James Charles is a well-known social media influencer. Seeing him on this list is just sad.


23. No knees and ankles
Thatโs not comfortable at all. Thereโs nothing comforting about having no knees and ankles.


24. When youโre a TV anchor
This woman is a TV anchor. A lot of people know exactly what she looks like. However, that fact doesnโt stop her from heavily editing her photos.


25. Small heads
Having small heads on tiny bodies must be a thing for tons of people. Itโs a seriously weird trend.


26. Just wrong
The size of her chest and waist arenโt what a lot of people found disturbing. Itโs actually the size of her feet. Theyโre nearly as long as her thighs.


27. The wrong way to use filters
The filters she used didnโt enhance her beauty. In fact, itโs the other way around. It made her look creepy!


28. The same person
If you want to look younger and slimmer in your profile picture, this guy has the perfect solution. The key is in wearing the right hoodie and using a photo editing app.


29. Her fingers
She almost got away with this one. Her grinch fingers canโt hide the truth.


30. Even in reality
This woman looks like sheโs having a hard time accepting how she actually looks. Sheโs using lots of makeup products and photo enhancing filters to hide her real appearance.


31. Tiny heads
Apparently, being petite is no longer the beauty standard these days. Plump thighs and wide hips are whatโs desirable for a lot of people lately.


32. Bending the building
Her figure is so amazing that itโs able to warp spaces. Just look at how sheโs able to bend the building behind her.


33. So different
The only thing thatโs similar in these photos is the hair color. Apart from that, thereโs no other indication that these photos are of the same woman.


34. What wrist?
Itโs normal to have folds, veins, and freckles on your skin for human beings However, for this person, theyโre undesirable. She decided to get rid of them when she edited her photo.


35. Computerized
She edited her photo way too much. She doesnโt look real anymore. The longer you stare at her, the more unnatural she looks.


36. The thing about small heads
Some peopleโs fascination with small heads is hard to understand. It looks very unnatural and creepy. Just take a look at how this woman edited the lower part of her face just to look like she has a tiny face and head.


37. The pap shot
One of the few good things about the paparazzi is that they expose peopleโs true looks. If it werenโt for them, a lot of this womanโs followers wouldnโt be able to know how she actually looks like.


38. When the neck is larger than the waist
Thereโs nothing wrong with having a really small waist if itโs what you have in real life. If youโre just going to edit the part, make sure that you understand body proportions well.


39. His and hers
Being a couple means doing things together. For this pair, that involves editing photos before uploading them on social media.


40. Weird arms
Itโs perfectly fine for women to have curves. However, I donโt think itโs normal for this womanโs arms to look like this. It looks like Popeyeโs arm!


41. The hand
This womanโs hand is seriously long. Itโs even longer than her neck!


42. Photoshop expert
This woman looks like a mannequin in all of her pictures. It seems that she canโt post any photo without heavily editing them first.


43. Not a cartoon character
This picture looks like a horrible photo collage. Itโs like each part was cut out from a magazine.


44. On โvacationโ
This idea isnโt entirely bad. With the pandemic and quarantine, itโs hard to leave oneโs house and travel to another country.


45. The fence
That fence needs to be fixed ASAP. With the way itโs curving, it doesnโt look durable anymore.


46. Out of proportion
This womanโs head is so much bigger than her waist. She must be having a hard time balancing herself when her headโs heavier than her body.


47. All her photos
This womanโs quite consistent with her photos. All of her pictures are edited like this and the thousands of followers are perfectly fine with it.


48. A real person
No, the woman isnโt a cartoon character. Sheโs not a robot either. Sheโs just another person whoโs clearly obsessed with filters and Photoshop.


49. Triangle face
The shape of her face looks unnatural. Even the size of her eyes looks weird. Todayโs beauty standards are just awful.


50. Clueless mom
To make sure people donโt realize that sheโs edited her photos, this woman decided to do the same thing to her momโs face. Unfortunately, itโs what gave her away. Poor mom. She doesnโt even have a clue!
