For wanting to photoshop a photo of a friend

[justforthispost1]

Had a lovely holiday with some friends, I was the designated photographer so I sent all of the photos to everyone afterwards and told them to send the ones back they want uploaded to social media. All was fine however one friend sent back a picture and on closer inspection I would feel more comfortable photoshopping part of it. I don't want to upset my friend so I was thinking of just doing it without telling her but then I think if she looks at it compared to the original and she notices then she will be offended. Would it be unreasonable to just edit it without telling her?

Isn’t the simplest thing to do is to accidentally omit to upload that photo, along with maybe one or two others from the pile.

Yeah I get that, it's not something I've known before that people are happy showing their pubes in public. 99% people on here agree that they'd want it photoshopping. But the 100% correct answer is to just ask the question.

Oh no that's awful your poor husband!

This is completely different though, I'm sure the friend doesn't look like a burst mattress so a little bit of tidying up on photoshop really shouldn't be that big a deal but it might make it an issue if you bring it up?

I’d photoshop and if she says oi where’s my pubes, I’d just say what I’ve no idea and act ignorant. The odds of this happening are remote though.

Apparently someone up thread loves their growler on display and would get pissed if you edited. 😂

I'd just 'forget' to upload this one and don't mention it. But if you've sent it out to them all, then can't they just upload the ones they want themselves to their own SM anyway?

It’s your friends “ Bikini line” hairs
If she’s not bothered , why should you be?! 🤔

I think I must live in a parallel universe at times. What is so hard about just asking your good friend if she wants the pubes edited? Just tell her that it's her choice or not. Or is it that you don't want them in the pic? I would query whether it's your choice as it's not your body.

Growler??
what the hell ?

There’s some noticeable hairs visible from an area that a bikini usually covers. 😄

Why so coy? We’re not going to faint if you say ‘there are pubes sticking out’. I’d text the friend and say ‘I’ve photoshopped your pubes out’. Job done.

I'd just photoshop this out. It's something most of us would be slightly embarrassed (or even completely mortified) by.

Don't bring it up as it might make her feel embarrassed.

I doubt she'd notice at all.

While she might get offended if you were photoshopping it so she was thinner, or had a smaller nose or different colour skin I doubt she's going to come back outraged that you have gotten rid of some hairs on her bikini line

This thread is hilarious - but just to clear something up, while my growler may be full on floof it doesn't mean I think body hair is fantastic and am happy to have it flashed all over SM. It just means I'm too fucking lazy to bother doing anything about it.

I'd just edit it out OP, I doubt your mate is going to ask you where her pubes went.

Normal slang for female genitals around here. I quite like it. It suggests a possible bite for the unwary.

How up close is this photo to be able to see that?!

Just upload it, if she has an issue later take it down. Unless this is a drip feed and your friend is a famous celebrity and the photo will get a lot of interest and reposting.

This - just tell her as she might well not have noticed it and be embarrassed later.

😆😆"where have my pubes gone @justforthispost1 ?"

Could you crop the photo getting rid of offending pubes and dilemma that way?

Just ask her.

I'd be messaging her saying 'Babes - a teeny bit of bush on this one. I can edit it out in 2 secs, if you'd rather?'

But maybe that's just me?

@DappledThings said if her pubes were edited out she’d think the editor was a dick, she’d prefer them visible.

Nobody on here is going to have better judgment on this than you op. You know her, you've seen the photo.
How noticeable is it? Did you have to zoom in to see it?

Ffs 🤦‍♀️

Can't believe the amount of people who would be mortified to be seen to have some perfectly natural body hair.

If it were me I'd rather my friend just edited them out without mentioning it. I don't wax but equally wouldn't want people seeing them online, or calling me to discuss it! She probably didn't notice them in the photo as she isn't looking too forensically at it.
