It’s no secret that companies use Photoshop and other editing software to perfect their pictures. It’s standard practice. They often use it to erase blemishes or other imperfections on models, enhance colors, and enlarge textures, but occasionally, graphic designers get heavy-handed with the tools and cross the line into false advertisement.

Some people purposely buy items with badly photoshopped ads just for laughs, but the one-star review on this Halloween house decoration kit tells us the buyer really expected the reality to match.
