When we think of photo editing, we often envision enhancing a photograph by adjusting saturation, contrast, or brightness. These basics used to define photo editing, but today, when you hear “Photoshop,” it’s often associated with unrealistic images—think tiny waists that could never realistically fit human ribs or distorted, wavy doors. I won’t dive into the debate about how body editing perpetuates the cycle of negative self-image, as that’s a well-trodden topic. While it’s easy to say we should stop, it’s much harder to do it.
After all, if everyone else is editing their photos, posting something entirely natural can leave you feeling insecure. Our notions of beauty have become so unrealistic that even those we idolize often don’t look like their edited photos. We’re chasing after computer-generated ideals these days, often without realizing it. However, this doesn’t mean everyone has become a Photoshop expert. For instance, the individuals listed below could likely benefit from a tutorial or two before attempting to edit their images. But I’m glad they didn’t, because now we can share a laugh over these pictures, and isn’t that lovely?

#1 The door is making more gains than she is by the looks of it.

I have nothing against image editing. I often adjust colors or enhance the vibrancy of my photos. I’ve even used the replacement tool to eliminate a pimple that popped up just before a night out. I’m sure many people are guilty of a little skin smoothing and similar tweaks.
We often don’t realize we’re doing it because many social media apps come with automatic smoothing features that can’t be turned off, leading us to become accustomed to seeing ourselves in that edited light. However, it’s essential to recognize that making drastic changes or completely altering your face and body can be detrimental in the long run.
#14 I am sure she is gorgeous so why make her waist even tinier?
