Influencer Pip Edwards has issued a response after people thought she'd done a strange thing to her leg in a recent picture.
She'd posted a snap of herself sitting at a bar in when her fans spotted a bizarre detail about her knee and couldn't help but wonder.
There appeared to be a distinctive line across her knee and some people thought she'd had it photoshopped into the picture but done a bad job of it.
One said she should 'check your leg edits tho', and the correct response to that statement would be to respond with 'ugh', while another claimed the influencer had 'shopped' the photo.

Frankly, of all the many people who found new ways to ask 'what's going on with your knee' the best person to serve up the question said: "Your knee has me intrigued and I knee to know."
Fortunately for all those people who also felt a desperate knee to know about the knee, Edwards soon identified the culprit and it had nothing to do with photoshop.
Responding to the myriad of requests people kept making about her leg and knee she explained what was really going on, writing: "It's the shadow cast from the bar and it's real.

"There is no way I would photoshop my leg to look worse! Lol."
In another response she said: "Why would I photoshop my leg to look worse than it is. It's so pathetic."
And there you have your answer, not least because in another photo in the post her leg is in a slightly different spot and the mark on her leg is clearly in another place.

On top of that consider the sheer effort involved to take a picture and go through all the trouble of photoshopping a new leg into the image before posting it on social media.
At some point in that process you might reckon it'd be easier just to take another picture that didn't have whatever it was a person found so bothersome.
Some people said she'd found a good spot for an easily replicable 'optical illusion' and wondered if they'd like to head to the same bar and give it a try for themselves.
Getting accused of photoshopping pictures is a pretty common occurrence for people with a large enough following on Instagram though often they've been stitched up by panorama photos which don't quite work as intended.
