Photoshop has been a thing since 1988, but celebs and their photos have been touched up long before that.
We’ll focus on Photoshop and Photoshop alone for this list, though, starting with that one up top.
You’re looking at two models, one of whom is famous Victoria’s Secret stunner Martha Hunt.
That model on the right, Stella Maxwell, comes out looking just fine, but what about the case of Martha and the ‘impossibly far from her body’ elbow?
You know, this one…
Someone dropped the ball there.
I suppose we promised you five, so here are four more via Business Insider:
Hello! magazine nabbed Prince William for the cover of its February 22, 2010 issue. It looks like the magazine filled out his hairline.
A receding hairline is always hard to deal with, and William’s pose only emphasized [sic] it, so the magazine may have filled it in for that reason. He also usually has blonde-ish hair, but it was turned brown for the cover.
Oprah Winfrey’s August 1989 TV Guide cover wasn’t really Oprah.
The magazine edited Winfrey’s head onto the body of ’60s star Ann-Margret — without either of the stars’ permission.
“Oprah would not pose on a pile of money like that,” her spokesperson said at the time.
The cover with the original photo of Ann-Margret below:
How many more did I say we would do?
Urgh, two more.
Time’s June 27, 1994 cover featured OJ Simpson’s mugshot after he was arrested for the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Simpson, and a man named Ron Goldman.
The cover made his skin look darker.
Critics attacked the magazine, saying that it made him look darker to emphasize his skin color and make it more “menacing.”
To make matters worse, Newsweek published the same photo, without retouching, on their cover that exact same week, which only made Time’s cover more apparent.
Poor form, TIME.
Drumroll … our final image before we call this quits.
This Instagram photo from Taylor Swift got attention for showing off her belly button
But the metal guardrail behind her and the band Haim shouldn’t look like that.
As with doorways and walls, there’s a curved background feature that should appear straight. It’s a dead giveaway for photoshopping.
Pack it up because we are done.
