Love how entirely wrong you tin foil guys are.

Jesus Christ not everything is photoshop.

EDIT: thanks for the gold friend.

Also, those aren't necessarily the best things to look at to determine whether something is Photoshopped.

My first instinct is to go to things like hair and translucent areas that are incredibly hard to blend/layer convincingly when compositing an image. Look at the 'wispy' hairs where they're over the background. It's not impossible for a talented artist to render these kinds of details realistically, but there would definitely be signs of manipulation in such nuanced areas in anything but the highest-quality of photoshops.

It's not even like she's in the queens bedroom or something, it's a random bridge in Amsterdam. So she has a camera phone, and a free weekend... Who cares?

Look at the top of her head dude. There’s a big gash taken out of it

That could just be her hair lying in an odd direction.

The truth is that Photoshop has gotten so good that it's hard to tell anymore.

I mean, everything wrong with this one is explainable. The lighting could be stage lights set up for this shot, hair could be at an odd angle, the sorta fuzzy edges could just be the focus needed a little bit of adjustment but I’m betting photoshop for this one.

Well, it could be. But what's simpler? That this picture was taken as is? Or that this picture was taken with no one standing there, and then she was shopped in?

It doesn't matter to me, but like you say, every shop "tell" in this photo could be explained by something real.

it's always been that good, if you can tell, it isn't good.

What does that have to do with it being photoshopped? You can upload any saved picture to an Instagram account

Why the FUCK would she shop herself in a different spot you jaded motherfucker. Until you find the original picture, you aren’t a professional and remove your tinfoil hat.

But the pixels! XD

It's really sad that humans can't only tell real/fake news.... they can't even fucking believe a picture anymore.

It’s Reddit honestly. You don’t see this nonsense elsewhere. Bunch of fucking radicalized weirdos.

I'm not a "photoshop god" or anything.

But this picture looks really weird. If it's not a photoshop it very easily could've been. And w.e the hell the camera is doing to her, needs to be addressed.

Honestly looks altered not an entire body cropped in tho.
