When did you last see an unphotoshopped picture in a magazine or ad? Yeah, I don't remember too. Photoshop is a fantastic tool for airbrushing away flaws and mistakes and creating a stunning picture. On the other hand, Photoshop pictures deceive people with false impressions and create unrealistic ideas of body image.

However, the people behind these Photoshop disasters aren’t skillful or nefarious. They either suck at Photoshop, don’t notice, or have a weird sense of aesthetics. Some examples could be growing a third limb for somebody, cropping out unwanted body parts, or twisting some girls' legs like wet spaghetti. How these mistakes got past editing and out into the public is a real mystery! 

What is a Photoshop Fail?

Photoshop is an extremely powerful tool that amateurs and professionals use for simple stuff like retouching photos to complex things like designing websites. It is an image creation, graphic design, and photo editing software developed by Adobe. 

A Photoshop fail happens when someone uses the software but leaves a glaring mistake on the photo or image. Some of these mistakes could be retouching gone wrong, altered background, missing body parts, and other crazy occurrences. This could happen due to inattention to detail, lack of post-reviewing, or AI slip-ups. Regardless of the reason, nobody can deny that any Photoshop fail is exceptionally hilarious.

That’s why we’re here to give you a belly-full of laughs with 97 examples of the funniest Photoshop fails you need to see to believe.

How to Fix Photoshop Fails?

It might seem like a disaster if you end up with badly Photoshopped pictures. The truth is that funny Photoshop fails can happen to most people. It is essential to look out for these mistakes before they have severe consequences for your business or personal life. Always remember that it is human to make an error. Here are a few steps to take so that you don’t make such mistakes:

ADVERTISEMENT
  • If you are using AI to edit these pictures, look over everything carefully once it is done.
  • Don’t review your Photoshop edits immediately. Look at them again after a break so that you come back with a fresh perspective.
  • Retouch the photo and make sure that it looks natural. 
  • Ask someone else for help if you need clarification on how to edit the photo properly.

If you still end up with bad Photoshop, you can always own up to it. That’s because honesty is always the best policy.

What Are the Risks of Photoshop?

Photoshop has made it easier for people to change and reshape their body or face into the most ideal version of themselves. It has become so routine that it is difficult to tell which photos are real or fake. This is particularly harmful to young children who will grow up believing that having a perfect body is the norm. 

Even the worst Photoshop fails can have a negative and long-lasting effect on people’s self-esteem and body image. It is crucial to take a lighthearted and balanced view of Photoshop, along with its pros and cons. Take a leaf from this Photoshop Fails online group, which shares excellent examples of lousy photo editing.

Is Photoshop Bad for Photos?

Photoshop is not inherently wrong, but it can lead to a few problems. Here are three things that can happen if someone uses Photoshop in a harmful way:

  • It can give others unrealistic expectations about the way human bodies should look, like these Instagrammers who edit their photos to fit a beauty standard.
  • It can deceive people and make situations or landscapes look incredibly different.
  • It can take away from the natural beauty of the world around us.

What Are Some Celebrity Photoshop Fails?

You’ll be shocked to learn about two celebrity Photoshop fails. The first is from 2015, when Madonna used a Photoshopped pic of her face on the TikToker Amelia Goldie’s body. She posted the picture to promote her album ‘Rebel Heart,’ but this crazy edit only left people confused.

The second instance is when Kris Jenner decided to defy the laws of time and Photoshop her face and Gordon Ramsay’s. She made sure to blur out their wrinkles and smoothen their skin. The only problem is that Gordon Ramsay’s photo showed a different picture, literally. 

Here are some more celebrity Photoshop fails that might seem unbelievable at first.

Do the Kardashians Use Photoshop?

The Kardashians are notorious for using Photoshop. Most of the family has been caught using it at some point with magazine Photoshop fails or on their private Instagrams. They have been known to use this photo-editing software to change how their bodies look. Everything from their stomach, waist, arms, shoulders, chin, nose, and lips has been edited and flaunted at some point. 

Excessive editing is harmful because it can lead to low self-esteem and body image issues. It also creates unrealistic expectations for their fans, many of whom may be young children who look up to them.

the only thing that could make this any better, would be a "Shutterstock" watermark over one of the elements. Fantastic!

Is Photoshop Obvious?

Photoshop is a highly effective and brilliant digital editing tool. That makes it harder to know whether images have been altered or distorted. Sometimes, it can be difficult to tell if the photo has been edited if the effect is subtle, unlike these unconvincing Photoshop attempts. Here are some ways you can point out if an image has been Photoshopped:

  • The background will seem warped or distorted.
  • The entire picture will be in focus, even the background. In unedited images, some elements will be out of focus.
  • The picture will have odd patterns like similar-looking clouds or flowers spread throughout.
  • The person’s skin will not have any blemishes or texture.
