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.

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?

This is not messy. This is how a room looks like when it is lived in and not handled as a freaking shop window.

It is imposible to capture both, her and the reflection in the mirror from this angle. First photo is fake

This is actually useful - she can just take the bottom of the modified picture and the top of the original one...

When you went to Pisa, but think it is spelled “Piza“, you deserved that.

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 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

He always gives them what they ask for. And they deserve what they get back.

Do folks not know how to crop and or take another picture ? It's not like they're paying for Kodachrome and developing .

So does he do non-humorous edits as well? I've never understood why people submit requests that seem to expect perfectly normal adjustments

I know he made the wooden tray of bird poop on the pier into a romantic looking nosh with a view, but does he do nice photoshops for ppl? Like removing the random strangers and stuff like that? I love seeing these. I just wondered how this came to be.
