I made jokes about my sisters wedding photos and I think that she got mad at me.

The title makes it sound like I am an awful person right?
But no hear me out. My lil brother went to visit my mom and found a stack of my baby sister's wedding photos. He posted them in our family group chat. Immediately I saw that they had been badly photo shopped with my sisters head being twice the actual size and the lighting of her face was different than her body and her nose was elongated.
So I made a bobblehead joke thinking that everyone would laugh at the photoshop fail.
My sister seriously could not believe that it was photo shopped insisting that I was making fun of her large head when she was skinny on her wedding photos.
Omg I showed the photo to my husband and he immediately saw that her head was supernaturally large and imposed over her body on the pic.
How could you not see that on your own picture?

We can't see our own faces in real life, except via reflection or photos, which give us a flipped image. So it's possible she wouldn't be aware of it.

@assemblingaknob not to mention, if she has body dysmorphia, she may struggle seeing herself properly anyway and/or have low self esteem (which could make her siblings joke feel more like an attack)

@WaryWitchWandering No she doesn't have body dysmorphia but we have a wierd history from her childhood that we are trying to get over and build from where she feels judged by me and she felt like an outcast from the family.

@REMsleep did you explain to her you weren’t picking on her, but the editing of the photo?
