21 Before and After Photos That Show Insane Photoshopping Sorcery

In this age of social media, looks can be very deceiving. It’s easy to look nothing like your real self when posting photos on social media platforms, like Instagram in particular. The app features different filters that alter the contrast and color balance to make your face Instagram-worthy. Most of the time, users manage to look good in their body shots by mastering the art of getting good angles.

But for one Weibo netizen, Kanahoooo, looking perfect for social media can be achieved through insane Photoshopping skills. Somehow, Kanahoooo’s work is clearly shocking that the girls on the Before photos do not resemble the girls in After photos — except maybe for the dress and the background. But if you know nothing and you happen to see the photos, you’ll surely be deceived by these Chinese girls.
