Photoshop fail

Everybody’s talking about Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra’s armpits on the cover of Maxim… and here’s why

THE picture editor behind this photo for the front cover of men's magazine Maxim seems to have gone a bit trigger happy with the Photoshop tool.

Instead of just airbrushing out the odd pimple or unruly strand of hair, they’ve decided to make Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra's armpit too flawless.

The digital blunder provoked much hilarity online with the error so blatant it’s hard to believe it made it on the front cover of the high-profile magazine.

Chopra, who adorns the cover of June/July 2016 issue with unrealistic armpits, has been named the "hottest woman in the world" in the magazine.

The multi-award-winning actress, who won Miss World in 2000, is starring on US TV in the hit series Quantico which is about the lives of young FBI recruits.

Fans of the 33-year-old were quick to point out how ridiculously smooth her armpit looked.

One wrote: "Is it me or her armpits are too unrealistic...)

Another commented: "News is.. I just read this..They Photoshop armpits .. magazines do this!"

"Priyanka Chopra's armpit in the Maxim cover is so unrealistic", one added.

 

This isn’t the first time Maxim’s been called out for over-the-top photo-shopping.
