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.

Jamie, you are indeed hilarious, but smart. You obviously know there's a time and place. Thanks for not using your one of a kind humor on this beautiful young man.

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 :)

I think it looks pretty badass, like a character our of a blade runner or a mad max movie, or even scar from lion king. Khal drogo has a slit eyebrow scar and he looks pretty damn cool, plus Cesar is a beautiful kid

Cesar you are a handsome young man, that is not a birthmark, it's a kiss from an angel. My daughter also had this and I always told her when she was little that she was kissed by an angel, she is 20 now and is a very strong, beautiful young woman! Own it!

Oh Cesar if you could see in you what we see. You are handsome exactly as you are, your eyes are stunning and go make some money modeling and be good to yourself always. You have a world of people who believe you shouldn't change a thing about your face.

He could cosplay as Zuko from “the last airbender” no make up needed. And would sell the cosplay well.

Nice comment by James, but doesn't work well in the "real" world. Better for this young man to have his face be "one color" and be accepted by most of society. Poor kid.

Also, there are surgeries to reduce the hemangioma. What people don't realize is these can be physically uncomfortable as well.

I totally understand what this guy is thinking. My ex had the same thing over his right eye. It would get really red in sunlight or extreme temperatures and almost turn purple. His eye looked like someone punched him. People relentlessly teased him his whole life. It also hurt physically because of all the nerves. I understand what the wizard is saying, but maybe this guy just needs to see himself without it. Just once. It's so easy to say," be true to yourself. Don't let it bother you" But if you haven't lived with a unique face, try it for a week. It's exhausting. Think before you throw trite advice at someone. Having said that, I wish there was a way to make this young adult understand that his other features are so striking and awesome that his birthmark is kinda cool. But, I am pretty sure he's been tortured his whole life about it.

My little sister also had those when she was little but slowly fades as she grows old, even though she had them in the past we really doesn't look it different or weird since it's natural and people says that's it's a sign of luck. Don't be ashamed about it because it's natural and doesn't hinder you from being a human. James is right it's not bad at all honestly it's cool just ignore anyone who will bully you.

James is hilarious, but he likes to be tritely (?) politically correct like this. I guess nobody should wear contacts for cosmetic reasons, women shouldn't wear makeup, short people should wear horizontal stripes, and nobody should get braces to straighten their teeth. The poor guy just wants to see what he would look like if his face was normal.

i was born with a cappuccino birthmark (family trait we all have same exact one on various body parts) I was the lucky one to have it appear on my face. down my nose, under my eye and partly covering my cheek. I was called "spot" "poop face" asked if I had a black eye (even to this day) but learned to embrace it and actually love it. Not everybody has this feature and it never lost me any dates so learn to love it, will come in handy one day!

For real, his birthmark is rather awesome. Not being a fakey social media compliment-er. legit when he is older I bet he learns to love it. It makes him different, plus his gorgeous eyes! watch out future ladies!!!

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.)

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?
