We have an endless pool of information at our fingertips, thanks to the internet. But the opposite also holds true. Fiction masquerading as fact will catch you if you aren't careful, and it doesn't just come in the form of words. Pictures can be just as deceiving, especially with AI and Photoshop thrown into the mix.
There was once a time when Photoshop was reserved for those who actually knew how to use it. Nowadays, it's in the hands of anyone from your great aunt to your neighbor and that annoying influencer upstairs, who wants us all to believe their waist is the size of a pencil. People around the globe are bending reality at their will... and the results are not always amazing.
Bored Panda has bravely gone down a rabbit hole of photoshop fails to compile a list of the most confidently bizarre and hilarious ones out there. They show that anything is possible (though not always plausible) when you have the help of a magic wand or a healing brush.

You don't have to be a graphic designer or digital professional to be able to use Photoshop. Nowadays, the software is widely available and (almost) anyone can learn to manipulate an image. But it can be fun and entertaining, doing so is not always ethical.
People have been retouching photos long before Photoshop and other editing software entered the market. But back then, the process took more time, effort, resources, and dare we say, skill.

This is legit, you just need to get magnets surgically installed inside your hand for it to work properly.
Today, apps like Facetune make it possible to change someone's eye color, or remove blemishes at the touch of a button. But digital manipulation can be particularly problematic when it comes to the world of fashion, beauty and aesthetics. Many argue that it promotes unrealistic or unattainable standards.
"At the same time that the creation of software facilitated the process of retouching images, it also made it possible to make several other profound body modifications, such as stretching the legs and thinning the waist and nose," explains Aela, an online school specializing in UX, Design, and Digital Products.
The school's experts add that the manipulation that was previously used to hide an unwanted stain or pimple ended up becoming "a resource for to mold people within a standard of beauty."

Photo editing isn't just about enhancing an image, it can shape how people perceive reality. And that's why it's important to not compromise an image's authenticity when editing it.
"Edit the image so it stays true to the subject, rather than misrepresenting it," advises virtual photo editing and design studio Pathedit. The team adds that this is especially important when editing photos of people but also applies to product photography.
"Authenticity can mean the difference between a returned product and a happy customer," they say.
