35 Hilarious Times People Got Caught Giving Their Pics Heavy Edits On Instagram
Remove one rib or two, distort the space, and you’re done.
We all want to look good, and filters are there for those purposes. Editing your appearance before sending them into the oblivion of the internet is completely normal. As in, none of us can’t do anything about the burning pimple on the only selfie we got from an event. That’s when editing skills come in handy.
The ‘Instagram Reality’ subreddit, however, is just filled with shocking edits. Some are very smooth and well-done Photoshop – which promptly shock followers when they see the real person in videos. Some edits are just straight insane and out of this world – skin texture is NORMAL because we’re not made of rubber.
“4K up top 240p down the bottom.”
“When blurring your wrinkles, don’t forget to blur your reflection too…”
“Whitest teeth in the west.”
Those proportions though!
“Same person – Instagram & screenshot on television.”
“She wants no skin texture on her face!”
“Altering photos to look like a teenager, disturbing.”
“When your head is thrice as large as your thigh…”
“Yup, nothing to see here.”
A survey from early 2017 declares the Instagram app as “the worst for mental health and wellbeing” next to Snapchat. It is compared with Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, taking into account the opinions of more than 1,500 participants across the UK. Shirley Cramer CBE, Chief Executive, RSPH, added, “Both platforms are very image-focused, and it appears they may be driving feelings of inadequacy and anxiety in young people.”
“Photoshop skills level above 1000.”
“When it’s hard to keep track of your imaginary measurements.”
“The all new curved iPhones.”
“She claims her body is ‘natural’ and all ‘genetics.'”
“This guy’s Instagram is a goldmine.”
“A model and TV host.”
“Rib removal? Nah, Photoshop.”
“Croatian singer. Yes, this is the same person.”
“Her entire profile is filled with these!”
“The Instagram pic vs The Paparazzi pic.”
“Found a shape shifter in the wild.”
Because of the situation, social media apps have become the natural main option for socializing. It keeps us in touch with our friends and family members even when we are physically apart thousands of miles away. However, Instagram’s limitations and changing algorithms (that is not chronological) force people to even do better in posting: they cannot post anything less than what’s best.
“Please don’t compare yourself to Instagram. They don’t look like that in real life. Skin texture is normal.”
“Aging really shouldn’t be something we’re ashamed of.”
“Jesus, what happened to her?”
“Her promo pic on social media vs. photo from her promo event.”
“Do male IG models count?”
“Her Instagram vs her YouTube Channel.”
“A popular fitness influencer (1m+ on Instagram) who pushes the idea of body positivity… caught photoshopping a thigh gap.”
“Uh…”
“This edit seems off.”
Instagram is a platform that curates the best, most aesthetic photos and videos that will satisfy your vision. But at the same time, human beings easily compare themselves to what they see others accomplish, whether that’s a luxury bag or traveling.
“People tend to post only their best images on Instagram, using filters that make them look beautiful. We have a false sense of what the average is, which makes us feel worse about ourselves,” says psychology professor Danielle Leigh Wagstaff from Federation University Australia.
“His Instagram pics versus real life video screenshots.”
“Photo she posted vs tagged. Same woman.”
“One of those whitening ads again.”
“This “influencer” who has a new face everyday.”
“Found on a fitness inspiration page.”
“Her IG profile picture VS a screencap of the TV show she’s on.”
