Photoshop Troll Who Takes Photo Requests Too Literally Strikes Again, And The Result Is Hilarious (31 Pics)
Be careful what you wish for. That’s what you have to keep in mind when talking to Photoshop Wizard James Fridman. Sometimes, it feels like James is the incarnation of the Monkey’s Paw that makes you be careful with how you phrase your wishes.
Whatever the truth might be, this Photoshop troll entertains us all by taking people’s requests to edit their pictures quite literally. He also adds his own unique comedic twist to the photo manipulations. We’ve collected some of his best newest work, so scroll down and enjoy! Oh, and don’t forget to upvote your faves (and we’re pretty darn sure you’ll like a lot of James’ hilarious photos).
After you’re done chuckling at this list of hilariously altered images and if you’re still in need of some of the Photoshop Wizard’s magic, Bored Panda kindly invites you to have a stroll (or is that a scroll?) through our earlier posts about Fridman’s photo editing mastery right here, here, and here.

Wow! Those eyes! I think he's gorgeous. Any woman who would discount him for his beauty mark has issues and needs to look within herself.
THIS!!! Cesar, I hope you see this - your scar is not only art, but it's awesome! You look like a Bond villian, or a professional model, or a cool video game character! Or Zuko! Celebrate this scar dude -- you're the only one that gets one. (Winnie Harlow is a bad-a** super model with virtiglio, and she rocks it. You look great -- don't doubt yourself.) Also James is rad :)
Load More Replies...You're beautiful Cesar. I hope you realize one day that it's more fun when you're not like everyone else.
James has quite the fanbase. More than 1.39 million followers on Facebook. 1.9 million fans on Instagram. And a further 1.6 million happy campers on Twitter. That’s the kind of attention that you get only by providing consistent and quality entertainment.
Here’s the best part—James is open to requests and will happily edit your pics. Just keep in mind that your request might be made… public. Very public, in fact.
That’s why Fridman has a warning plastered everywhere: “Do not submit any personal photos that you do not want to be made public.” In other words, if you dare ask the Photoshop Wizard to cast a spell, don’t be surprised when you’re made to look like a fool. (Having a sense of humor and being able to laugh at yourself help quite a bit, we think.)
Hey, that's "manneke pis" from Belgium (worth the visit, not the statue, Belgium)
Seems like that's the new thing to do as there are several of you doing it................
Load More Replies...And in case you think that being able to laugh at yourself is a bunch of New Age baloney, here’s a truth bomb for ya: scientists have found, again and again, that laughter helps you manage stress. Not just on a spiritual but also on a biochemical level.
Not only does laughter shut down the production of stress hormones (e.g. cortisol), it also releases “feel-good” chemicals like dopamine into your system. Feeling stressed out? Have a laugh. Or better yet, send in a photo for this Internet troll to edit. Just keep in mind that you have to give him clear instructions of what you want your Photoshopped images to look like. Monkey’s Paw, remember?
Lol I just went from extreme tiredness to non stop giggles with this one.
Sorry, More than Giggling for me. To be exact?! Non-Stop LOL-ing!
Load More Replies...Leave her alone she's on vacation! I hope she found love with her gondolier soul mate.
He could have moved the pole over... just a thought ;)
Load More Replies...Like the lake wasn't cool enough. Now she's in a cool boxed in place.
The funny thing is, she DOES look like she's standing in a hole in the floor in the first pic. :D
Up until you mentioned this, I didn't realise she wasn't standing in a hole..
Load More Replies...I thought she was standing in a hole but I guess she's actually lying down. lol, should have put her feet up so we all would know. I like the second photo though. lol
If the first pic was taken by a professional photographer it's really poor to make her look so peculiar. It really does look like she's standing in a hole in the floor! It detracts completely from the portrait.
I dont like the first photo. (Not because of the bow tie) its just boring
It doesn’t matter if it is good or not not everything has to get perfect.
Sorry, didn’t mean to sound rude about it.......
Load More Replies...technically the guy in the background is wearing a cream colored hat. or off-white at best. people should know this guy is like a classical djinn by now. be careful what you say and be very specific.
I wished to be woken up by a pair of tits, next thing there's these damn birds in my kitchen every damn morning. Djinn rules suck.
Load More Replies...If it helps, the guy on the right looks like he's stoned out of his mind.
A true photoshop artist. I'm not sure an LT. would be carrying wounded though, he'd order subordinates to do it.
This is not messy. This is how a room looks like when it is lived in and not handled as a freaking shop window.
Load More Replies..."Instagram-Models" be like: Hey world, I realy love how I lok in that big ugly messy dumpster of a room. I am so self-centered, I dont even notice the rat-circus with the the trained roaches doing a water ballet show in my cereal bowl
should be worried about that hot mess of a bedroom and those black dude socks ...
let me rephrase the above to not sound so offensive. I missed a comma. *black, dude socks.
Load More Replies...I think she wanted the reflection of the sky in that bean behind her to have her face reflected in it, having the buildings and sidewalk in place. Instead of sky in the thing, her face. For what it's worth, he was probably confused by the question too.
But why would somebody need a Pic of what her request was???
This is actually useful - she can just take the bottom of the modified picture and the top of the original one...
I don't get why people are always so picky on their photos like just take it and move on
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..well..looks like you told HER!! ha ha ha ha ha ha
Took me a second to see Lady Liberty missing- my mind fills in automatically
He forgot to put the recess back when he moved the guy in the blue tee shirt. There's 2, but the 2nd pic shows only one.
Because she is, her arms are also crossed which is a defensive stance. I wonder if they even actually know each other or he's just creepy & goes around get pics with unwillingness participants.
Load More Replies...I think the first picture is hilarious. What's better than a photo bomber with that look on his face? And who takes only one shot? I thought one was supposed to take 200, pick the best and THEN photoshop it? 🤗
Lol that body language says it all he's leaning waaaay in and she's leaning waaaay away like get the eff away from me.
He can speak whatever language and say what he wants? How's your foreign languages?
Load More Replies...When you went to Pisa, but think it is spelled “Piza“, you deserved that.
Honestly, how dumb are you that you misspell a 4 letter word of someplace you've been to?
Load More Replies...Then he cant breath, there is no air in space
Load More Replies...Alexei should have asked for a shirt so he doesn't look like such a douche
Unless you're Kamen Rider, why would you want your belt so big, though....
Thanks for the comment so I knew to zoom in if I wanted to get the joke.
Load More Replies...C'mon James, do this guy a solid. Could have been a great "awwwww" moment. ;-)
Or put a plain Jane on his arm, just to see if he deserves an 'awww' ;-p
Load More Replies...This guy knows the word "aesthetic" and can use and spell it correctly, but "make it chair"? lol!
Middle one could pretend his head is the sharks fin from Jaws when he's swimming
I think he's already done that before on another picture...
Load More Replies...The twat with the camera has some serious spatial awareness problems!
He should have put a top/T-Shirt on the Eiffel Tower and made her touch it
How could she think that she stood in the right place in the original photo??
It's not her that can even completely see the angle. The photographer is a complete idiot.
Load More Replies...It may have started out as trolling but nowadays I'm sure most people send them in with intentionally vague requests just to see how he will "twist" them. Regardless of the actual reason, love his work. I especially like the ones where it seems that they sent them in due to low self esteem (like the one with the facial birthmark) and instead of fixing them he tries to bring their self esteem up.
I swear i might start to do the same thing 🙃
Load More Replies...I really needed a lift today. This did the trick! I'm laughing with my computer all by myself in the living room while everyone else is asleep. Thanks :)
I love how James is able to put arrogant people in their place and tell people with low self-esteem that they're great, all using humour which is not crude at all
I love James' work! He is hilarious! It would be quite hard to find someone to stump him!
