Photoshop Troll Who Takes Photo Requests Too Literally Strikes Again, And The Result Is Hilarious (17 Pics)
Look, how many times have we told you to be careful what you wish for? Let me help you count. Bored Panda warned you in this same post 3 months ago and prior to that, we told you here, here, and here. Time has passed, years have gone by, seasons have changed and nobody, not a single one, has ever thought: “Wait, maybe I should really be more careful when asking James Fridman to photoshop my pic!”
Because the guy is savage. Want the lamp out of sight? Disappear into the darkness. Wanna edit the dominos out of your prom pic? You may as well be photoshopped into the delivery guy. ‘Cause if there’s one thing James is the best at, probably on the whole internet, it's making photoshop edits that are way too literal and all too hilarious. But hey, it’s what you asked for, right?

Is that a unicorn tattoo? That guy is definitely not winning any bad boy contests, lol.
Exactly my thought too! When a savage who wears a f***y pack has a unicorn tattoo, you are likely going to come out of a clash with your hair pulled. The brute.

The feels looking at this photo! I’m an essential medical field worker(Paramedic) love it! Keep up the good work ladies.
A little humor goes a long way! Love the laughing masks! Sure to make everyone feel better!
James, also known as the Photoshop wizard who has been trolling people longer than we could remember, has become notorious for his comedic photo edits and blatant misinterpretations.
“I don't consider myself a graphic designer, it is more of a hobby", he told Telegraph. When he first started using image manipulation software, it was something new and not as widespread as it is now, so everyone was up for the experiment.
James initially “did some funny edits for friends and family, and they ended up on the internet. Apparently, people found it quite entertaining and asked for more” and, as you'd imagine, the rest is history.
I don't think he was being malicious or mansplaining at all! Looking at his previous work, whenever someone asks him to make themselves look less fat, no freckles, etc he doesn't do it because he wants them to feel confident in their own skin
That's clearly his intention. I can't imagine how/why you think any different. There's not an ounce of malice in any of his re-worked photos.
Load More Replies...I have acne and saying that I'm young I'll have it for awhile more, but this is the 3rd article I've read about him and when these come up it makes me feel like I shouldn't be mad at myself.
You shouldn't be mad at yourself and certainly not over acne. Not your fault. There is often a strong genetic component - did a parent have acne? If you haven't seen a doctor about it though I would highly recommend you do. Don't let anyone suggest that it's 'just spots and they'll go away'. Acne can scar and it can have a massive impact on self-esteem. There are things that can be done to improve it - you just have to persevere. Mine is currently being managed quite well by an antibiotic lotion thankfully!
Load More Replies...i got over acne myself a few years ago and this post made me cry...bless both of you and good health ...
James is very sensitive to people who are ashamed of the way they look. I applaud him for giving them advice instead of changing their features.
I thought for a second he would make her clear, as in transparent! But I did love his response better.
Load More Replies...This response is awesome! I choked up a little. What a great guy!
Your edits are absolutely hysterical and at the same time you show a depth of compassion very rare these days!
Hi Casey, I agree with all comments both for not changing and changing your picture. It's a beautiful picture and you should be proud of who you are.I'm not a photoshop artist but here's an interpretation of what it could look like. Amateur photo messer arounder... IMG_6CD07D...7-jpeg.jpg
If he did it "well", he'd only had requests in the same way, and couldn't do his jokes. And the alternative would be... joking about physical trauma of people? Doing nothing is the best option. Thanks to him.
Load More Replies...I feel bad for her tho. Cystic acne is hereditary and doesn't necessarily go away. My husband is 65 and still has it. Fortunately, it's mostly on his back.
I worked with someone who had acne like this she went to a dermatologist and followed everything he said to do and in 3 months here skin was totally clear.
But the graphic designer is well aware of the humorous impact he has on social media. “Entertainment accounts cater to a wider audience, delivering current news and addressing social issues wrapped in humour. It makes it easier to work through sensitive subjects," James explained.
When it comes to getting offended by James' mischievous edits, the designer believes that “it's now a trend to get offended by almost everything.” Having said that, I am sure he has nothing but good intentions and his fan club of 2 million Instagram followers is proof of that.
If you're playing with guns, at least learn how to hold them. Luckily James put him back on the right track.
He would have better luck hitting something with the sign that that pistol the way he was holding it.
Load More Replies...Just out if curiosity, does it do nothing or does it make it less safe/acurate?
Load More Replies...He probably got it at Walmart with his lunch money.
Load More Replies...Whoever handed you that pistol is a complete & utter f*****g moron - and no, you don't look "cool" firing it that way. To anyone who actually knows how to handle firearms, you look like some lame gamer wannabe. You're lucky you didn't shoot your own foot off.
I had never heard of this guy b4 but I'm so glad I know about him now what a wicked sense of humour he has luv it. Take care Coreen
I thought it was going to be James and the lamp having dinner at a restaurant, lol.
um i cant find what was photoshoped out i cant see oh he got rid of the light
Sometimes facing the truth of what you have asked brings about painful results/answers.
Your amusement is getting you a lot of like O_O
Load More Replies...To anyone who would make a similar request - You are lovable, cool, awesome, and complete on your own
And why do people dislike scars? I love mine because they each have a cool story.
Load More Replies...Come on people!! She said to remove "the guy" in the background...his hands & forearms are in the "front" of her! Duh!!
This brought back so many good memories - of the OLD days - of my youth - when we went to the County and State FAIRS every year after the crops were gathered and sold. It was a "ritual". The farmers had some money. My Dad would let us ride ALL the rides as MANY TIMES as we wanted to!!! At the end of the evening just before the FAIR was closing, they would have a FIREWORKS SHOW - that was out-of-this-world. They had bleacher seats for is to sit on to watch the show. The LAST firework would be the AMERICAN FLAG!!!
now it looks like the right woman is licking the butt of the woman who's in front.
Lol they should be able to combine images now to get the end result they want
People should be really specific when asking him for things. He follows orders to a T.
I mean, why take a picture there if all you're going to do is complain about the background
Someone took it. Posted it later. She liked the way she looked.
Load More Replies...I don't understand all the hate on this one. She looks like a teenager at a dance. At that age, dances are classy, and she's probably nervous. She's not going to analyze the background before letting someone snap a photo.
I would like to give you more than one upvote, you are so right.
Load More Replies...Not cool, this is not a joke for the tiger, most people are now aware of the cruelty that goes into the tiger trade and turns these beautiful cats into docile animals, even a pet cat is less docile than they are, but then again most people don't torture they pets so they can get strangers to take photos of them. Try make a photo of the guy with something between his ears besides his ego.
Is it just me or do it's back legs look broken? : (
Load More Replies...My wife forced me to watch that train wreck during lock down. Hours I can never get back.
Shouldn’t be posing for pictures with captive big cats- they suffer terribly for the amusement of tourists. The tiger’s tongue is probably poking out because it’s teeth have been removed. 😡
Maybe those of you who think Tiger Killer Joe is so great should read this report about how he really abused those animals. They have undercover videos and documented abuse. https://www.humanesociety.org/news/what-tiger-king-didnt-reveal-animal-abuse-and-extensive-network-breeding-and-selling-tigers
He should have done it as requested. This is so cruel to that poor animal 😭
Something dreadful and painful happend to one of his ears unless he was born this way in which case he's simply adorable.
Load More Replies...Omg ... These are so amazing! James, you are definitely one, awesome photo troll!! The Best!
Brilliant. Apparently everyone should next check out the other post about American sarcasm as it appears most folks didn't "get" any of these.
What does this comment have to do with the edited video? Pls explain.
Load More Replies...Nothing, but she wanted them done and forgot to do it before the picture I guess.
Load More Replies...I've had several foot surgeries and only have 8 toes left. Seems a waste of nail polish to worry about it now!! And flip flops are totally out of the question:)))
Foot problems leading to surgery must be very hard to deal with. I hope you are getting better, and that you are able to cope. A hug over the internet!
Load More Replies...I have painted my toe nails maybe twice my whole life and I'm 36. I also wear sandals, walk around barefoot and attend hot yoga regularly. I could care less about my toes being undone. Your smile, that is beautiful and matters much more love.
Same goes with me. Done them once. Absolutely hated it. Haven't done them since. I don't even paint my nails...
Load More Replies...He's funny and got skills but why call him a "troll" when everyone knows they'll get what they didn't exactly ask for? I mean, that's the whole point of asking him, isn't it?
Like Charlotte said, this photoshopper isn't a trolk, he's more of a genie granting wishes to the letter but not as intended. And people keep sending him wishes just to see what he'll do.
I wished to be woken up by great tits and now I've got birds flying in my kitchen every morning.
Load More Replies...I learned recently that he does actually fulfill the requests, but he only shares the "troll" ones publicly.
I love his sense of humour. Don't tell me people don't know what they’re getting into! 👍
