This is almost too bad to be believable, but the people involved say it is for real.

Family Can’t Believe Their Eyes After Their Professional Photographer Shows Them Their Photos | Bored Panda

The family basically paid a 'professional' photographer $250 to take some family portraits, which turned out to be what they considered ruined by shadows on the faces

When challenged, the photographer said that 'Her professor had not taught her how to retouch photos'.  Eight months, and countless YouTube tutorials later, the photographer supplied these 'improved' images.

Check out the Bored Panda link above for lots more nightmare inducing retouched pictures.

    The family are being incredibly good sports about it, which is commendable. All too often a situation like this would result in the Photographer being sued for her house, car, and 50% of her earnings for the rest of her life.  People can be unbelievably cruel.

    It didn't take long for the Memes to appear.  And pretty funny as well.
