photoshop

Photoshop is an art form that takes practice. Not everyone will get it right on the first try, or possibly even on the second or third. Subtlety is the key to a successfully photoshopped image, and the edits should be hardly or not at all noticeable. Unfortunately for the people who photoshopped these images, editing is a skill they have yet to learn. From giving themselves perfectly flawless skin to unrealistic waist dimensions, check out below how colossally they failed when it came to photoshopping these images.

Instagram is rife with people photoshopping their photos to ridiculously unattainable levels of beauty. Sometimes, the edits are subtle, and other times they are less so. I would argue that the pictures containing slight edits do more damage than those that are so obviously photoshopped because they portray a somewhat believable illusion of perfection. But the ones that are so severely photoshopped that they distort limbs and make skin look TOO smooth are the ones we can laugh at because the people who publish them live on planet delusion—population: themselves.

There's bad photoshops and then there are these. Honestly, we know that people like to get a little bit creative with their wedding photos but these take bad photoshop to a whole new level. Who knew there was a need to make it look like your new bride can fit into your pocket? Or, that it's cool to look like you're floating on a giant swan into your wedding? The Russians, apparently. Yeah, we're also speechless, but enjoy scrolling though for a good laugh! 

Everyone knows that stock photos are meant to represent everyday scenarios' mundane Reality. But somehow, they always miss the mark and appear stiff, inauthentic, and don't portray real life how you and I live it. Art director, Matthew, grew sick and tired of seeing these unrealistic scenarios all over the internet and decided to do something about it. According to his blog, he injects "Reality into an unreal world by injecting myself... I am the Stock Photobomber! Armed with Photoshop 6.0 and my own raw emotion, I'm going to thrust stock photography into the real world the only way I know how... I'm going to photobomb the crap out of it." Here is a hilarious selection of his talent, more of which can be found on his Facebook page.

The concept of pin-up girls — idealized painting or drawing of the female form designed for public display — was one of the key elements of 20th Century Americana. Most people are familiar with vintage images of women in bikinis or other skimpy clothing in various provocative poses, but few have been acquainted with these photoshopped versions. Welcome to the pin-up girls with a twist. And by twist, we mean with Robert Downey Jr.'s face. Yes, that's right, someone out there has spent time photoshopping his face onto classic pin-up girl's bodies, and we're not mad about it. We can only assume he would be if he saw them. Scroll through for some strange but funny eye-candy.

Beauty isn't about being perfect; beauty is found in each person's uniqueness and what makes them, well, them. That goes for everyone, celebrity or not. But celebrities are under microscopic inspection from the general public regarding their physical appearance, and they are held to higher standards of beauty, which are often unrealistic. This isn't their fault necessarily; let's blame Hollywood, photoshop, and the entire beauty industry, which feeds off the insecurities of the human psyche. But that's a different discussion. For now, let's focus on photoshop, which can (scarily) change someone's whole appearance with the slightest brush of a pen. These celebrities' pictures show how different they would look like when their unique facial features are edited or removed completely. They show how much of a difference our differences make, and how our quirks make us beautiful.

We've brought you celebs with no teeth, which was, quite frankly, terrifying. And then we showed you stars with no eyebrows, which was equally as horrifying. And now, here's a selection of celebs with Kim Jong-Un Hairstyles. Funny? Yes. Weird? Yes. Actually, utterly bizarre? Hells yeah. Scroll through and laugh!

Have you ever typed your name into Facebook to see who else in the world shares it with you? Of course, you have. And you've also Googled yourself, haven't you? Don't worry; you're not alone. We all do it. But one guy did this, and more when he replicated his namesake's profile pictures and then sent them a friend request. The Redditor CasinoRoy pulled this hilarious stunt, leaving his victims confused, as anyone would be in that situation, getting reactions like "Who the hell are you?!" and "What the hell man?!" Check out these brilliant recreations.

If there were a prize for the most bizarrely photoshopped Facebook profile pictures, then Lina Slizauskiene from Lithuania would win it, hands down. Her pictures are a collection of the tackiest, weirdest, and most badly photoshopped photos we've ever come across, and we're not sure what her thought process is. From posing in front of the pyramids in Egypt to being a fairy in the forest, her imagination knows no bounds.To be fair to her, if there were another prize for creativity and humor, she'd win that one too, so overall, she's a winner. She's provided us with some much-needed laughs, and hopefully, you'll also chuckle as you scroll through this collection of some of her best ones.

The Mona Lia is perhaps one of the most famous faces in the world. Painted by Leonardo da Vinci in the early 16th century, her mysterious smile has captivated the world ever since and became one of the most well-known art history pieces. But what if she was a modern gal, living in today's world? Would she be an Instagram influencer, would she be a mom, would she be cool, or would she be a loner? One artist on Instagram has reimagined what the Mona Lisa would look like today by cleverly photoshopping her into a bunch of Instagramable poses, and it looks like she would be iconic whenever she exists.

Duck-face selfies are perhaps one of the most damaging impacts that social media has had on our generation. The iconic photographic pose attempts to look alluring and sultry, but it appears utterly ridiculous in reality. It almost looks like the poser is trying to slurp a giant strand of spaghetti into their mouth, which frankly, is the only time the pursed lips pose is OK. Someone photoshopped pictures of girls slurping spaghetti into their duck face selfies, showing just how ridiculous they look when there's no spaghetti there, which is 99.9% of the time. The results are hilarious and should be the cover poster for a 'ban the duck selfie' campaign.

Instagram is full of influencers who claim to be fashionistas. However, it's hard to stand out and sell your style in a unique way when there are so many others doing the same thing as you. But one mom has figured out a creative way to encourage hers and her daughter's love for fashion. Painter Alya Chaglar sculpts food into the shape of dresses and holds them up against her young daughter Stefani, making it seem like she is wearing the food clothes. From pizza to broccoli, her fabulous food fashion looks so fun to make. Stefanie certainly looks like she enjoys the poses, and it's clear that a young, budding fashionista is in the works!

OK, whoever created this magic should win an award.

Tom Selleck? YES PLEASE!

Sandwiches? Delicious.

Waterfalls? Heaven!

I don't think these photoshopped masterpieces could be improved. They are the definition of perfection. Scroll through to your heart's desire. You. Are. Welcome!

If you've been following us for a while, you'll know that we love a good celebrity photoshop gallery. We've brought you celebrities with no teeth, and if you think that was scary, wait until you see these pictures of celebrities with no eyebrows. I'm not going to lie; I didn't realize how just important eyebrows were to the face's structural integrity until I saw these images. Holy Moly, they are truly terrifying.

Mr. Bean was one of those classic 'I don't know why this is funny, but it just is' shows. For a guy who barely spoke, he somehow managed to make everyone laugh, which is a particular skill that not many actors or comedians have. So how about a little reminder of how funny Mr. Bean was, with some pictures of his face photoshopped onto famous Hollywood characters, that someone somewhere had the ingenuity to create? Somehow these are almost as funny as watching him on TV, so my conclusion is that his humor is in his face. What do you think?

Photoshop is a magical thing; a tool with which you can visualize all your wildest dreams come true, it's basically like a genie, but a massive tease. Speaking of genies, one guy has used Photoshop to make all of his childhood Disney dreams come true, and my inner child is so jealous. Samuel, a Spanish primary school teacher who likes to experiment with graphic design and photoshop in his spare time, has edited photos of himself to look like he is chilling with all our favorite childhood Disney characters. From watching TV with 101 Dalmatians to waxing Gaston's hairy chest, his creations are realistic, creative, and funny, all while invoking extreme nostalgia. Check out some of his best work below and tell me your inner child isn't also crying with envy!
