The reality TV star made the revelation on the latest episode of her podcast, Khloé in Wonderland.

During the latest episode of her podcast, Khloé in Wonderland, released July 17, The Kardashians star, 41, revealed that while there was a time when she "wouldn't dare post a photo without heavily Photoshopping," this is no longer the case.

The episode saw the Good American co-founder address various rumors and claims about her famous family, including that she "Photoshops every picture" she posts.

"I don't," Kardashian responded. "But there was a time that I definitely did. There was a time that I was around some people that would make me feel like I needed to. I also think it was the era too. I felt like a lot of people were Photoshopping or heavily Photoshopping more than they do now."
"I do feel like there was a time that we all just got consumed in this filter lifestyle and we couldn't see ourselves without a filter," she continued. "And there's definitely days that I'm like, ugh, I need a filter. Don't feel good about myself. But I'm on video. And I do like myself better in video than stills."

The reality TV star went on to admit that she doesn't think "I'm the most photogenic, but I'll take 500 photos to get the one that I like." "That's okay. I'm allowed to do that," she added. "But I will say there was a time that I heavily photoshopped."

Kardashian then confessed that she looks like a "cartoon character" in her old photos "and it's humiliating that I thought that was even a version of myself."

"I feel bad that I thought I needed to look like that," she continued. "But I was around people who were all doing that. And if they took my photo they would make me look that way before giving it to me. And then I would think that's how I looked. And if I got paparazzied, I'd be like, 'I don't look like that. I look like this photo.' And I really had to reprogram my mind to be like, okay, we have to lay off the filters. This isn't real. That's not how I look. And I don't want to look like that. It was a strange time."

The mom of two shared that she was "so consumed in the filter world and having my face look a way that it just wasn't, but currently now, no," before going on to reveal how she now captures a good photo for social media.

"I like to have good lighting," she shared. "I definitely have more controlled photos like good lighting and I might take a bunch to get the ones I like. But I don't have to photoshop every photo."

Kardashian has often been accused of Photoshopping her pictures by fans over the years.

Back in 2018, Kardashian shared a touching Instagram tribute for her mom Kris Jenner and praised her for being "strong and fabulous," but some users were quick to accuse her of Photoshopping the picture she shared.

In response to a user who asked whether Kardashian would even "keep IG if all photo editing apps were gone forever," Kardashian clapped back, "Would you?"

"Sometimes I wonder why people comment if it adds no value to ones life," she continued. "Maybe I'm just different... but I don't care to be negative or passive aggressive. Our world is toxic enough as it is. It's sad people care to criticize something like an editing app."
"Let it go babe," she added."Say something nice or just let it go.Don't add to the hatred in our world."

Her Photoshop confession came after Kardashian got candid about what cosmetic surgery she has had and broke down every procedure she has undergone.

This included a nose job, Botox and filler, along with "collagen baby threads" under her chin.
