Photoshop Requests Granted in the Best Way Thanks to James Fridman's New Edits
When it comes to Photoshop, be careful what you ask for.
Some people on the internet have a gift for turning ordinary photo requests into something unexpectedly funny. James Fridman, the London-based graphic designer behind a long-running stream of literal Photoshop edits, has built a reputation for doing exactly that.
People send him images and ask for tweaks, but the results usually come back with a twist that is technically correct and completely ridiculous. From awkward crop jobs to perfectly literal interpretations, his edits have become a favorite example of online trolling done with real skill.
He has even picked up award attention for his work, and this collection shows why his name keeps coming up. Read on.
Undeniably in the water now.
