The world changed in 1990 when Adobe Photoshop became public. Suddenly, people could manipulate images however they wanted to, which has advantages and drawbacks.
But for this list, we’re focusing on the funnier side of photo editing. A Facebook group had been accepting picture enhancement requests from random people, and the results have been nothing short of comical. Twitter user James Fridman offers the same services, and scrolling through his timeline always brings a bunch of laughs.
But for now, enjoy these photos we’ve collected. Hopefully, they will bring you some good vibes today.

Although a photo manipulation tool like Photoshop is a new development, the practice has existed for centuries. According to the Georgia Institute of Technology, the first edited image on record dates back to circa 1860.
The said picture was a composite of US President Abraham Lincoln’s head over former Vice President John Calhoun’s body. Calhoun had already been dead for a decade upon the release of the photo.

Apart from his reputation as the staunch leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin was also known for air-brushing his enemies out of photographs with him. One notable instance was his erasure of police official Nikola Yezhov from one of the portraits.
Yezhov was Stalin’s right-hand man and oversaw many purges during the time. That all changed in 1938 when Yezhov was denounced and eventually executed. Likewise, Stalin erased him from history–figuratively.

With the power of photo manipulation comes its drawbacks. A 2023 study published in BMC Psychology revealed that editing pictures on social media platforms may negatively impact a person’s self-esteem and compare themselves to others.
“The depiction of reality is usually not a documentary but part of a narrative which the photo editor intends to project on the public screen,’” the study researchers wrote.
