Talented Photoshopper Accepts Requests And Provides Hilariously Literal Results

Photoshop is a powerful tool—it can fix or tweak annoying details in a picture, give people a window into a multiverse of possibilities, and even redefine reality for billions of people through mass marketing and advertising. But using it isn’t as easy as snapping your finger or flicking a switch. It takes years of experience and skill to master this powerful program successfully.

What a great picture of a woman in a doorway—it’s just a pity there’s some graffiti in the background ruining the image. Luckily, this is what Photoshop was made to do. James got on the case and agreed to clean up the ugly words on the inside of the passageway. We think he did a great job—or rather, we think he’s doing a great job.

If you ask James for something, you’d better make sure you check you’ve got your letters all in the right order. This tiny typo resulted in a completely different (and hilarious) outcome than this would-be Bugatti driver would have expected. The expression of confusion on his face is just perfect.

This person sent a request to James asking him to justify her running away and scared-looking expression. What he came up with is truly the stuff of nightmares. James made her friend vanish and replaced her with the dreaded Teletubbies! 

The photo on the left is great—who doesn’t love a good sporting activity? It’s clear that these two are active ladies. While canoeing is certainly a physically demanding sport, these two wanted to be able to show off something a little more extreme. Quick thinker that he is, James got on the problem.

The picture on the left is pretty funny—because of the way this guy is standing, looking away with his legs apart and his back to the camera, it does indeed look like he’s doing something terrible to his kids. This group of young ladies asked James to fix this odd image so they could have a nice picture at the carnival together.

It’s unfortunate, but Photoshop is used mostly for “improving” people’s looks by erasing the face’s natural bumps, features, and shapes. This person asked James to photoshop highlight onto her face. James, being the hard-working ‘shopper that he is, got right to work.

When James approaches a job, he always puts in 150% effort, no matter what. In this case, that means adding roughly 150% onto the length of this woman’s leg. As a result, not only does she look like she has a longer leg, but she also looks way more flexible than she did before.

The photo editing hustle is a hard one, and there isn’t always time to dwell on the details of every order that comes down. James, the couple-matcher extraordinaire he is, received a request one day from a lovesick young lady. She asked him to make her friend look bad and make her look “grate.” 

This pair of friends wanted to see what they would look like if they both had the same stature. Either because it was a request made at the end of a long day or because James was just feeling lazy, he did the best job he could. It comes a little “short” of what this person was asking, but he technically got it right—and that’s all that counts.

Feeling lonely and a little embarrassed about his lack of social life, this guy put a request in to give him something of a coolness boost. James obliged—but in the process, reminded us all of what socializing at a party is like in a post-2016 world: hanging out while everyone checks their messages.

This is a nice picture of a man with his son-in-law, but some people can feel self-conscious about their looks, especially when it comes to their teeth. Fortunately, Mr. Fridman is on hand to sweep the problem under the rug, as it were. 

Weddings can be a great opportunity for photoshop artists—plenty of perfectly good photos can be improved with a little modification. Take this one, for example. It looks like one guest at the party got a little rowdy and dropped his formal demeanor.

Photobombers—whether they do it intentionally or not—can be a real pain. Nowadays, phone cameras can take care of this problem automatically, but not everyone can afford them. Plus, you don’t get the personal touch like when you ask a professional like James to take care of it. 

Sometimes, one goofy look can spoil what would otherwise be a cool photo of friends. James offered to help this guy’s group of friends by standardizing the vibes. Unfortunately, the guy in green didn’t specify which mood he wanted.

We all love a good waterfall photo. It reminds us of how serene nature can be and (hopefully) urges us to take a step outside every once in a while. This young man requested that James just make the water feature a little more present by moving it closer to the forefront of the image.

Now, we can assume this poor girl just wanted James to add a smile to her friend’s face. But, as with anything, her request is open to interpretation. It looks like James interpreted her friend’s stony expression as disappointment for being friend-zoned.

This couple has a nearly-perfect photo together that’s missing one key factor: shoes. To perfect the photo, this kind boyfriend turns to James with a simple request to edit shoes onto his girlfriend’s feet.

Photoshop is often used to correct imperfections and make people more “beautiful”. This young girl asks James to do a little touch up. Smooth out her skin and rid of imperfections, make her eyes sparkle, etc.

Achieving the perfect profile pic is not easy, and even less so when your partner is much taller than you. This girl loves this photo of her and her boyfriend’s smiling faces, but she’s much shorter than him, which makes it difficult to fit in the frame. She asks James for a fix and he delivers, of course.

This young lady and her dad are standing in an empty stadium and she wanted James to fill the stands in the background with people so it appears to be busy. James took this request and turned it into a game of “Where’s Waldo?”.

It looks like this guy wanted it to appear like he was holding Big Ben, the famous clock tower located in London. It’s a really popular tourist attraction and naturally, he wanted his trip to be commemorated with a nice photo.

This young lady asked James to make one small tweak to her car selfie; make her head a little less round. She probably just wanted some minor photoshop magic to make her face a little more angular.

Sometimes, when people send in photoshop requests to James, they have typos. What we know about James is that he likes to fulfill requests literally. This remains true even when people make spelling errors.

It looks like this group of girls might have had a falling out with the girl in the violet skirt, so they turned to James to see if he could just crop her out of the photo. Of course, James is known for taking his requests literally.

We assume this young lady wanted James to edit in a train on the tracks behind her to complete this dramatic action shot and make it appear as if she’s running from it.

Here we have another “height fix” request for James. These three girls wanted it to appear as if they are more similar in height. The girl in the middle is far shorter than her friends to her right and left and the height difference is made more dramatic by the fact that she is not wearing heels.

Altering height seems to be one of the most popular requests for James, yet he manages to do them differently each and every time. Alexei from Russia comes to James with another height request. He wants to appear taller than the man next to him.

When taking a group jumping photo, it’s all about the timing! Inevitably someone is always on the ground while everyone else is in the air. This group of girls requests that their friend on the ground be moved into the air so it appears she jumped at the same time as the rest of the group.

This girl thought the photo she took at a restaurant holding an octopus was a little awkward. She wants something a little more natural that still shows off the food.

When people make general photoshop requests for James, he uses his creative spirit more than ever! Making a photo more “interesting” could be done in many different ways.

This couple took a beautiful photo that needs one small adjustment. The girl’s hair is covering part of her fiancé’s face, so she turns to the photoshop master for this small adjustment. She even makes note that she doesn’t want to appear bald to make sure James doesn’t take all of her hair away with his photoshop fingers.

This young lady took a photo in front of a stone in Turkey. She loves the photo and thinks it has profile picture potential, but unfortunately there is a man in the background. She asks the photoshop genius to remove the stranger so she can have the profile pic of her dreams.

This man was brave enough to take a photo with a tiger, but wanted it to appear as though the tiger was attacking him. Fair enough. It would be a pretty spectacular photo to show off to your friends. James photoshops a photo of Carole Baskin into the image.

This couple took a photo in front of Muhammad Ali’s Hollywood star in Los Angeles. The man is a big fan of the famous fighter so the young lady asks James to edit her boyfriend to look like a boxer. By boxer, she means a fighter (obviously).

Emily has a beautiful photo of herself in a fancy dress but there are pizza boxes in the background of the photo that she would like James to remove. They take away from the class of the photo.

We think lakes are cool, but this young lady wanted to be photoshopped into a “cooler” environment. We can assume she wanted to be somewhere more aesthetically pleasing, or somewhere more “fun”.

Wedding photos are some of the pictures you’ll look at forever. So, you want them to be just right to commemorate the special day. This couple took a beautiful photo of the bride being dipped by the husband on their wedding day, but wanted to edit out a car in the background.

This trio took a fancy photo with some beautiful natural scenery surrounding them. The one thing they don’t want in their group pic is the man’s head in the forefront of the image.
