About Photoshop Battles

A subreddit for people to use photo manipulation software to create new images.

Official weekly battles are held where entries are removed for the first 24-hours to give an opportunity for more detailed submissions.

Battle winners pick the photo for the next battle (only upvotes are counted) and all entrants are given subreddit flair.


Rules for Submissions:

I. No Requests or Questions

  • Requests, such as "Please photoshop me or my friend", can be posted to /r/picrequests.

  • Questions, such as "Where else could he be?", or "What else could she be sticking in her mouth?" are not permitted.

II. Titles

  • Your title must be descriptive. Please accurately describe the subject of the photo.

  • No cliches such as "this has potential", "lets see what you guys can do", or "make this epic".

III. Image content

  • Images must be at least 500x500 pixels.
  • No technically low-quality images. Focus, framing, lighting, etc. are important.
  • No links to facebook.
  • NSFW tags must be used generously.
  • No albums, submissions must be a single image. NEW RULE

Submissions that do not follow the rules will be subject to removal by the moderators.

If you notice a submission that violates the rules, please report it to the mods, and send us a message letting us know why it was reported.


Voting

  • Please vote based on quality of work. Lazy shops shouldn't win just because they made you laugh. You can still vote funny stuff (we can't control you) but keep in mind that people spend lots of time making some really good submissions and deserve as much recognition as the next guy.

  • Downvoting constructively, in threads, is recommended.

  • Please do not downvote submissions because they do not have obvious potential. An image that does not have an easy punchline may be the most creatively inspiring to others.

Please report inappropriate content to the mods.

Beard on chick in billboard thingy.

Also is that carrot tops head now on that girl siting down?

[–]Tikiman77 4 points5 points ago

also is this comment redundant?

[–]eamantite 2 points3 points ago

You guys see karat top?

[–]CanFace 0 points1 point ago

Isn't commenting that a comment is redundant, redundant?

[–]flosofl 0 points1 point ago

And MJ in the mural.

[–]I_Mix_Stuff 197 points198 points ago

[–]musman1 14 points15 points ago

Makes me think of Archer

[–]Jonny_Stranger 6 points7 points ago

Because of the anime van chick, I have to imagine.

[–]mattrition 32 points33 points ago

I'm no expert but I think this one needs a touch of shadow.

[–]xenago 14 points15 points ago

[–]ELIamSparticus 100 points101 points ago

This took me a lot longer then I care to admit. Sorry about the shoddy quality.

Dude!

[–]underwritress 62 points63 points ago

Suddenly these guys are 92% less pathetic.

[–]UmiNotsuki 73 points74 points ago

I saw this on my frontpage and thought it was probably in /r/pics or something, and clicked on comments without checking...

/r/photoshopbattles? You want us to edit this? It's already ridiculous enough!

[–]CaptainTurtle 7 points8 points ago

This is the only post I've come across that has not many shops. You can't blame us either, look at it and tell me you can think of a way to make it more ridiculous.

[–]BluShine 24 points25 points ago

Really, there's 20 comments and only a single shop. This subreddit is dying. Where the fuck are the mods? And why the fuck does this post have +170?

[–]BlanketStacker 31 points32 points ago

Dying, not very. However this picture isn't the easiest to shop, at least I don't think so.

[–]Scrial 16 points17 points ago

It's not suited for this subreddit and should have never gotten so many upvotes to begin with.

[–]glassex 5 points6 points ago

Agreed. There are things to shop, but you really have to pick at the photo just to get something half decent. The upvotes for this photo are too damn high.

[–]WhipIash 9 points10 points ago

It's gone to shit a long time ago. At the top are usually shit shops which appears to have been done in paint. People upvote good ideas, instead of good shops.

This was suppose to be a place to practice your skill and see other people's skills, not to come up with the wittiest paint drawing.

[–]Tensuke 5 points6 points ago

It has 260+ upvotes because it's such a weird picture that in /r/funny, /r/wtf, /r/pics, or a number of other subreddits it would be upvoted like crazy. Many people probably didn't see what sub it was in, or they would like shops to be done of it.

[–]reddKidney 6 points7 points ago

More mods is exactly what subreddits do not need. Im sick of people leaning on mods to adjudicate what their personal opinions are for a subreddit. Thats what voting is for guy. Maybe you should try it.

There are plenty of attempts now that, you know, people have actually had time to make a few entries. Maybe if you understood anything about creativity or this subreddit or photoshop you would know that its not an instant process. so please shut the fuck up, people like you ruin reddit.

[–]royisabau5 2 points3 points ago

You got here too early

[–]I_Mix_Stuff 3 points4 points ago

There is not a battle too small or challenge too big for a true photoshopper, show us any picture and we will give you our best shot. It doesn't matter if the content is too boring or it is made of 4 pixels. Sometimes creativity shows the most interesting results with very simple things.

[–]Rosenkrantz_ 3 points4 points ago

This guy know's whats up.

[–]cuppincayk 1 point2 points ago

Same here. I came into the comments to talk about how I couldn't fathom having a pillow like that without the tits showing only to find photoshop battles

[–]zenmunster 19 points20 points ago

[–]colossosbear 10 points11 points ago

I saw it, took me a while, but I found that lil peeper!

[–]fmpundit 3 points4 points ago

I just couldn't see it... closed it down read this comment about a lil peeper and seen it instantly.

[–]werferofflammen 44 points45 points ago

I don't know if there is anything that can be done to make this more wtf.

[–]RandomCoolName 36 points37 points ago

So young, so naive.

This is not my work by the way, but I felt it needed to be posted.

[–]SirTubz 19 points20 points ago

Needs more neck beard.

[–]Godolin 9 points10 points ago

I like that the majority of the other people visible are looking at them.

[–]DRCCHall 7 points8 points ago

dat waifu.

[–]lychee-twist 5 points6 points ago

It's always awkward to see men with those walking around cons. It's kind of like "I know you do that, but I don't need to know you do that".

[–]MasterBistro 2 points3 points ago

What do they do with them at cons? The waifu thing is just getting more and more ridiculous.

[–]iampayette 4 points5 points ago

Dude wtf. those are a thing?

[–]GrammarGorilla 21 points22 points ago

My brother has one...

[–]iampayette 10 points11 points ago

Couldn't this be considered a symptom of a psychological problem? Like autism?

[–]GrammarGorilla 40 points41 points ago

He's a normal guy. He just...humps pillows...

[–]EcchiMaster 4 points5 points ago

D: YOU DON'T HUMP A HUG PILLOW

Seriously, think about how many times you'd have to (or should) wash that thing if you did. All that washing would eventually ruin the material and artwork on it.

But seriously, sometimes it's just nice to cuddle with something cute when you sleep

Edit: inb4 autism, ronery anon, etc.

[–]GrammarGorilla 2 points3 points ago

A-actually I'm pretty sure he humps it. He tends to wash it...a lot. Oh god I don't wanna talk about this anymore.

[–]EcchiMaster 1 point2 points ago

Goddamnit. Ruining such an expensive (unless it was bootlegged) purchase. :(

[–]faggort69 2 points3 points ago

For someone named GrammarGorilla, you sure are a fan of superfluous ellipses.

[–]HallowVortex 8 points9 points ago

To be fair, he IS a gorilla, it's an amazing feat that he can type at all. He's probably just picked up tips from some sort of teen-based message board.

[–]GrammarGorilla 1 point2 points ago

Thank you. The transition from the jungle to the city has been very...taxing...I'm still getting used to it but I'm positive I'm going to become an English Professor...it's comments like yours that keep me going.

[–]WhipIash 0 points1 point ago

The definition of normal, really...

[–]Shorthoplaser 10 points11 points ago

You may find this interesting.

[–]DrSmoke 2 points3 points ago

well that was odd

[–]Bloodglory 1 point2 points ago

I enjoyed that video far too much, thank you.

[–]Tyranith 0 points1 point ago

As someone with autism, that's pretty offensive.

[–]iampayette 0 points1 point ago

I suggested it as a possibility. Aspergers is what springs to mind, due to the obvious obsessive nature they have toward their cartoon pillows. Isn't Aspergers considered autism?

[–]Tyranith 0 points1 point ago

Yes, it is; it's what I have.

People with Asperger's typically develop an obsession in an interest or hobby. I would guess people with autism would actually be less likely to engage in this sort of behaviour because of our general lack of interest with emotional attachment, although obviously I can't speak for every autistic person (guess what, we're all different!).

[–]holy_canoli11 0 points1 point ago

Two friends of mine have aspergers. They are so completely different. One acts like the dudes in the pic, and he is very into furries. The other is in school to be a music teacher and is really shy. Music is definitely his interest of choice. The musical friend is way more approachable an easier to be friends with. The first guy comes off as a dick, but he can be nice. Never knew either of them were autistic until someone told me.

[–]Trux42 -1 points0 points ago

I saw 14:20, but stayed for the Nujabes

[–]MasterBistro 2 points3 points ago

Body pillows man. Any female character from an anime with any amount of popularity has one.

[–]EcchiMaster 0 points1 point ago

Dakimakuras [NSFW]

[–]iampayette 0 points1 point ago

Dare I click?

[–]EcchiMaster 0 points1 point ago

It's nothing horrible. Just semi-nude - nude anime girls on pillow covers.

[–]DJffeJ 1 point2 points ago

James Franco.

[–]Jobholder 1 point2 points ago

Someone shop gaben onto one of those pillows!

[–]anal_blazers -1 points0 points ago

I saw people buying these things like crazy at Comic-Con this year....I don't get it.

[–]fernguts 2 points3 points ago

Because Comic-Con.

[–]thermal_shock -4 points-3 points ago

damn the other students look uncomfortable. that's sad for those three.

[–]TheNecromancer -1 points0 points ago

Züri!

[–]rando_mvmt -5 points-4 points ago

His boner is showing.
