Sadly, we’re all used to Photoshop in magazines. It’s become the industry standard. But the practice of a technological nip/tuck has morphed into the larger world, including social media. Call us the Photoshop Police, because these photos need to be ticketed.
Lindsay recently posted this pic and a lot of people were like whaaat? Something just isn’t right. Her stomach is too flat and the shape of her backside seems like a lipo procedure gone awry. Also, many commenters pointed out the slanted bottles in the background, which would suggest the use of the Photoshop stretch tool. We can only hope it’s pixels gone wrong rather than reality.
Earlier this year “Sharknado” star Tara Reid posted this on Instagram. We think her waist looks unnaturally jagged, but maybe it’s just a trick of the eye.
Beyonce posted this pic in which the stairs between her thighs clearly look tampered with. This wasn’t Beyonce’s first time at the Photoshop rodeo either. We couldn’t resist reposting this pic:
Does anyone believe her legs are that skinny?
Coco, she of big backside fame, got into the Photoshopping game after posting a Halloween shot. We love corsets, but this one looks more technological than man-made.
We’re not sure why Victoria’s Secret hottie Miranda Kerr needed any help in her Instagram photo. Maybe she just lives in a world where the hotel carpet likes to bend “Matrix”-style around her legs?
Mariah Carey got a lot of flak for the cover of her album Me. I Am Mariah in which, well, she doesn’t look like the voluptuous songstress of recent years. Think we’re wrong? You make the call.
Britney Spears was clearly Photoshopped for her Candies ad a few years ago. But it was actually Britney who released the original images from the photo shoot along with the Photoshopped final ads in order “to highlight the pressure exerted on women to look perfect.”
Of course magazines Photoshop all the time. And we’re fairly used to it, so we really only notice when it’s egregious, such as Cameron Diaz on the cover of the Russian version of Interview magazine. It’s like she took a trip through the transporters from “The Fly” alongside the DNA of David Bowie.
