Photoshop Troll Who Takes Photo Requests Too Literally Strikes Again, And The Result Is Hilarious (18 Pics)
James Fridman is an online legend and, odds are, you’ve seen his work at least once even if you didn’t know the man behind the photo-editing. Known as one of the greatest Photoshop ‘trolls’ and editing wizards on the internet, British graphic designer Fridman takes people’s requests to alter their pictures very literally on purpose. This leads to hilarious photoshops that might just make you giggle and will get your Monday off to a great start.
Check out some of Fridman’s latest hilarious photoshops below, upvote your fave ones as you scroll on down, and let us know which pics you loved the most and why.
We’re huge fans of Fridman’s work here at Bored Panda (and we sometimes wish he’d photoshop us) and you can tell that by how often we’ve featured him before. You’ll find our latest awesome posts about his work right here, here, and here.

Looked thoroughly at her picture, but I don't notice what's wrong with her arm. She's just perfect. (BTW, what is "normal"...?")

Bravo James. She is a pretty girl, and she needs to hear it more often. This is evident because she feels she isn't "normal". She's been MADE to feel that she's not "normal", unfortunately, by comments and treatment from others.

The first pic would be slightly irritating (who hasn't been photobombed?). The second is seriously spooky. Yikes!
2.1 million adoring fans on Instagram. Nearly 1.6 million followers on Facebook. And another 1.9 million Photoshop-and-humor-loving followers on Twitter. There’s no doubt about it, the content that Fridman creates is the perfect intersection of quality and relatable humor. It is not possible to have that kind of popularity without appealing to something that unites us all.
In this case, it’s giggling uncontrollably at the ‘dad-joke-like’ interpretations of people’s requests and the ensuing Photoshop hilarity.

A bit religious? Being scared of statue nipples is more than a "bit" religious.

Honestly, I'd keep both photos and show them off. The edited version is hilarious.

i mean it's a deliberate shot, she chose to stand there. What's you expect, lady?
While some people understand what Fridman is all about and simply want to be in the spotlight with their pics for a bit, others are genuinely shocked by the monkey’s paw-like situation they find themselves in.
Be careful what you wish for? Yeah, we’ll have that warning in spades and spades. The graphic designer even has a list of terms and conditions that you should check out before submitting a photo. And remember, don’t submit anything that you don’t want made public. Fridman takes credits, agreements, and rules very seriously and so should you.

I love that he projects acceptance of one's true self. Instead of stretching the lady's limbs taller, he dug the man a hole. "Love yourself" is his mantra... And its lovely

Why you want to be a giant female instead of a feminine female. There's nothing wrong with your length ( or his), but with your head ....

Dad jokes! I am a mom and worked with kids and say that s**t all the time.
What Fridman does actually plays a far deeper role than just providing fun and entertainment (though that’s important, too!). It's practically a cliche that laughter is the best medicine, however, it's scientifically backed. Well, it might not be the only thing good for you, but it's been proven to have positive short and long-term benefits for everyone.
The Mayo Clinic explains that laughter cools down our response to stress, helps decrease our heart rate, as well as blood pressure, and ends up making us feel relaxed. What's more, laughter stimulates our organs, increases our oxygen intake, and releases more endorphins by our brains. Our circulation improves, our muscles relax, and this physically helps deal with stress.

But that's just the short-term bonuses. In the long-term, consistently finding something humorous to laugh at tends to improve how the function of our immune system (this helps outweigh some nasty stress-related illnesses).
Laughter also acts as a natural painkiller, can reduce the effects of anxiety and depression, and will consistently make you happier. It might sound simple, but it's true. So chuckle away as often as you can.

I agree. I feel sorry for men losing their hair. I don't think it makes a man look unattractive.

Who has a mustache goes bald because they are 14? I'm not saying there isn't bald 14 year olds, but it isn't from ther age. Catfish or typo. Most likely typo.
Fridman is very well-known, however, he’s a bit shy and doesn’t tend to feel comfortable doing personal interviews. It appears that he prefers to let others be in the spotlight. However, he’s got a very giving spirit! He founded the James Fridman Foundation as a way to give back to the community and make the world a better place.

The James Fridman Foundation’s main mission is to support and help children and young people “in developing their skills, understanding, and capabilities that will enable them to navigate the obstacles they encounter as they grow and participate in society as independent, mature, and responsible individuals.”

wow that is what the pics that I take look like!!!! plus, nice chandelier
According to the Foundation, modern society and the difficulties that it creates have an “immense impact” on young people’s mental well-being and healthy development. “Lack of knowledge, understanding and appropriate skills on how to build resilience and emotional shield leads to an inability to work through challenges modern life has put upon them.”

Don't be dismayed, Cora. We can still see your foot, and now you have more privacy.
In other words, the organization aims to help kids become tougher so that they can weather the challenges that modern life throws at them. The Foundation also wants to see a world where every single child and young person feels like they belong there, they feel happy and valued and understood.

I am a bit worried about some of the requests - why would I want to look taller in a picture when in reality I am not? What is the point in "correcting" a physical condition that I naturally have? And what the luminous kitty is the problem with feet or eyebrows??! I could, however, understand the one with the tent pole (although the photographer should have seen this while taking the picture) - but this also made me laugh out loud!

I don't think "ask everything with the maximal detail and very specifially" would really help. He would find the hole in the request. (Snicker)
