In September 2018, a French art school was caught Photoshopping their students to appear more diverse.
This year, the mile Cohl art school in Lyon, France, was caught editing their photos to make their student population seem more diverse ahead of a planned opening of a new American branch. Specifically, three students were edited to appear as people of color, and two black students were inserted into the photo.
A former student posted both images on Twitter in a now-deleted tweet, which proceeded to go viral. The school was forced to issue an apology, with the school's assistant director Emmanuel Perrier telling CNN that an American communication company "decided on its own to darken the skin of some students to add diversity. The communication campaign was made from the US."

Kourtney's forearm appears superhumanly thin in this August 2018 ad for Calvin Klein.
However, the brand disputed this in a statement to INSIDER : "As you'll see from the high-res version of the image, there are no issues with Kourtney's arm. However, the light is hitting it, which makes it slightly less defined. Unfortunately, when the image is posted to social media in a lower-resolution format, the shape of her arm loses its definition, creating the effect which social media users have commented on."
This didn't stop the internet from having a field day.

As INSIDER's Jacob Shamsian explained , "There's one leg that goes straight down from her left hip to the ground, another leg that seems to cross over it from her right hip, andanotherleg, also from her right hip, that seems to fold over the second leg." The magazine claimed that the third leg was actually the lining of her dress, but people remain unconvinced due toanother mistake.
Both actresses had a sense of humor about the gaffe, with Witherspoon tweeting "Well...I guess everybody knows now...I have 3 legs. I hope you can still accept me for who I am (and I will never apologize for snuggling @Oprah ... if you get the opportunity, I highly recommend it;)." Winfrey responded , "I accept your 3d leg. As I know you accept my 3d hand."
