With the creation of Photoshop in 1987, our lives suddenly changed - you could turn virtually any "ugly duckling" into a beautiful swan. When used with caution and in modesty, Photoshop can be a useful tool for enhancing our natural beauty and giving a self-esteem boost.

We often see photos of celebrities that look so flawless, it's hard to believe they're even real. Before you start comparing yourselves to them, keep in mind that their photos are usually the case of being photoshopped excessively. So don't worry, nobody looks like photoshop pictures in real life.

Celebrity photoshop takes it to another dimension by also setting unrealistic beauty standards to their young followers. Though sometimes, with a touch from an inexperienced editor, it can turn into an example of bad photoshop quite easily.

Below, Bored Panda had put together a list of celebrity photoshop fails and pics before and after the modifications - some of them were very scandalous, while others were simply photoshopped by people on the Internet. Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian - they're all there. Prepare to be shocked!

"Celebrities Before And After Photoshop Who Set Unrealistic Beauty Standards" Yes. Correct. Angelina sets unrealistic beauty standards. Both with and without photoshop :-)

Was Photoshop really necessary here? If they wanted to even her skin tone just put foundation on her, no computer necessary.

What a beautiful women. Plus, without Photoshop she looks like a real human, with realistic skin texture and - pores. Why is it these days that women's skin is regarded aesthetic only when it looks like rubber?

Again, there is so much natural beauty that I don't get why she was photoshopped to make her look like a latex dummy.

She is honestly stunning both ways. One is the Photoshop is gorgeous, but she looks fabulous without it too.

Angelina Jolie looks almost exactly the same before and after photoshop. She is just unrealistically beautiful and it's genetics, in other words, "Don't hate her for being beautiful ".

Angelina is one of the most beautiful women in the world. Both photo's are amazing, very little difference at all.

Before 100%, anyone who even thinks of photoshopping someone so naturally gorgeous is ridiculous.

Nothing done here with Photoshop that couldn't have been done with better make up. She's just incredibly beautiful.

Not bad! But I send my photo in this company, guys from FixThePhoto provides professional portrait photo retouching. They reshape face in photos, edit eye color, whiten teeth , remove braces in pictures, and fix frizzy hair in Photoshop.

She looks better on the original anyway! It all depends how you are using photoshop. In all these example, Photoshop has been used poorly by not respecting the right volume on the face and natural face quality. Photoshop is not to blame but the one using it with a big lack of taste and reality.

we all have access to these filters so why doesnt everyone stop pretending they dont use them? yes its great to see celebs as natural and realise that we are all flawed and have dark circles and imperfect skin...but dont kid yourselves...anyone on social media uses filters.

She actually responded when this photo came out. She was really mad they made those changes, especially enlarging her bust, without telling her.

There's no problem with the first picture, but as a stage performer/dancer she should know how important is to hold in your belly. (Yep, there are exceptional dance stíles like belly dance...) This posture reminds me of a toddler :)

Kris did that, not Ramsay. He posted the unedited version on his Twitter. I don't think he gives a s**t about his wrinkles.

All things considered, that's a very good photo of her. Completely unnecessary to airbrush it to death.

Seriously? Who does that? Photo shopping sponsors out of a pic? Someone has a beef with Elton John's AIDS Foundation.
