Beyonce is not the only celeb to have been caught out recently for retouching their own images…

Beyoncé came under fire this week for posting an Instagram photo where it appeared that the image had been retouched in order to make her thighs appear thinner.

It’s not the first time she’s been accused of retouching either. Nor is she the only celebrity to have been caught out for the practise. In an age where anyone and anyone can publish selfies online, celebs seem to be taking that extra step with their snaps to make them appear just that little bit more perfect than everyone else’s.

Check out all the celebs that have been caught out adding a touch of the old Photoshop to their snaps.

Kris Jenner doesn’t hide the fact that the she is a big fan of photoshopping. Still, when she posted this snap of herself with Gordon Ramsay at the launch of her cookbook, it looked remarkably different from the image that the celebrity chef uploaded to his own Instagram a week earlier! At least it looks as though she gave his face a smoothing over, as well as her own!

Beyoncé was called out for photo-shopping her thighs to look thinner after posting this shot to Instagram this week in which she appears to have morphed solid objects. Experts say that features such as this are a clear indication of digital image manipulation.

It’s not the first time Beyoncé’s been called out for apparently retouching her thighs either after Instagram snaps of her playing golf in a bikini while on holiday earlier this seemed to display a disproportionately large thigh gap.

At first glance, it seemed Ajay Rochester had an all-new look, but she isn’t even pretending this one is real. She captioned it: “Hahaha look closely! Cldnt resist sharing this. My friend photoshopped this for me (yes Kim K we know your secret now) Check out the fat shadow!”

Mariah Carey cut quite a different figure on the cover of this year’s album “Me, I am Mariah, The Elusive Chanteuse” to what she presents in real life!

She was called out a second time when the un re-touched images from a photo shoot with celebrity photographer Terry Richardson for *Wonderland* magazine were leaked by [Jezebel](http://jezebel.com/retouch-my-body-terry-richardson-pix-of-mariah-carey-b-1603712028/all) this year too.

The world learned a bit more about digital retouching this year courtesy of this “butt-selfie” that Kim posted with friend Blac Chyna in which their waists appear disproportionately cinched in compared to their rears. Photo-experts everywhere widely criticised the snap for clearly showing signs of manipulation because of the way the lines at the door and in the tiles all appear to curve in towards Kim’s waist – a sure fire sign that it had been pulled in.

Kim Kardashian on Instagram vs Kim spotted out later that day in the same outfit. It seems she seems to have stretched out somewhat in her selfie….

Kim’s little sister Kylie Jenner was also accused of retouching after a she uploaded what appeared to be a dodgily retouched bikini-selfie with bad pixilation clearly visible around the edges of her body (left) before deleting a few minutes later and then re-uploading a seemingly perfect version (right).

Lady Gaga’s September 2012 cover of *Vogue* magazine looked markedly different from how she appeared in the behind-the-scenes video that was posted online by *Vogue.com*.

Unretouched photos from Lady Gaga’s fashion campaign for Versace were also leaked online earlier this year by website Gagafreshnews showing a highly different and washed out Gaga than what appeared in the official released ads

Miranda Kerr came under fire when an image she posted from a Victoria’s Secret show (left) seemed to show her waist cinched in remarkably more than it appeared originally. To be fair, Miranda did repost the original image a week later (right) with an apology, saying that: “I screen grabbed it off the internet … I had no idea it was photoshopped”.

We can’t put it past Miranda though, note the melting wall in the room behind her when she posted this shot of herself doing ballet.

…and another one in an evening gown. Note how the lines of the carpet all appear to curve in towards her thighs, making it seem that the image had been cinched in around there.

Something odd seems to have happened to Zooey Deschanel’s nose in her ad campaign for Rimmel London (left) as it appears to be stretched out, her face lengthened and her skin unnaturally smoothed.

Quite a few of Britney’s Instagram followers seemed to think that it appeared her abs looked “drawn on” in this snap that she shared with them.
