And just when you thought the fashion industry’s Photoshop addiction would only leave you insecure about your thighs/butt/stomach/arms/face…
No, they’re not keen on how your knees naturally look either.
See for yourself… what is wrong with this photo?

Scroll through the full gallery for a round-up of the best (and worst) Photoshop fails:
At first glance, this Banana Republic model looks as expected. Air brushed face. Check. Cinched waist. Check… but on closer inspection we noticed, not only are her legs almost comically slim: this model is missing her knee.

The H&M one is a computer generated model – they use the same body and pose for all the catalogues, they just put different heads/skin tones on them.
See – now they don’t even need models!

Wow these are crazy!!!
I have no problem with SLIGHT touch ups to make a photo look better but these are insane!
Soon we won’t need models at all they will just create alien images for us to look at!

Looks like a mistake! Photo shopping is about advertising and sales. It is up to me to raise my children to understand and appreciate what is real and not.

Except we don’t have much control over what our children see when we’re in shopping centres, walking down the street, etc, especially when it comes to billboards. If these advertisers are able to publish their material in such public spaces, the public has a say in what they should be able to put up there.
