Battle 42

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 should 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 or web pages, submissions must be a single image.

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.


Commenting

Junk comments distract from this subreddit a lot more than in other subreddits that are not based on original content.

Comments that are cliché, text-only, not an original work, image macros, memes, reaction gifs, or off-topic are subject to removal by the moderators without notification.

reddiquette

Comments should be fully compliant with RFC 2119


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.

  • 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.

[–]VaiZone 40 points41 points ago

You did a tremendous job.

[–]caulk_blocker 1321 points1322 points ago

[–]WeeBabySeamus 223 points224 points ago

This is incredibly well done. Now if only the guy in the back were Chris Christie.

[–]alphanumerik 66 points67 points ago

Damn this is good!

[–]Lazy_Genius 75 points76 points ago

I didn't see a difference at first.

[–]HamsterBoo 3 points4 points ago

I still don't

[–]grangry 22 points23 points ago

I agree it's good, but Obama's hand is white.

[–]ReeseLaserSpoon 146 points147 points ago

A different Chris Christie (only because you were quicker than me) and some midnight sepia.

[–]AyoGeo 46 points47 points ago

I like this one because it looks like Christie is staring at her butt

[–]ryguydrummerboy 25 points26 points ago

Mr. Governor, she is underage.

[–]faggort69 14 points15 points ago

[–]RainbowBrushie 37 points38 points ago

You, I like you.

[–]NathanDahlin 10 points11 points ago

I may be slightly biased (as a fan of Christie) but I still think that this is the best entry in the thread.

[–]headdownassup 4 points5 points ago

bravo!

[–]tmotom 50 points51 points ago

Nyeah, see?!

[–]joeay 79 points80 points ago

Obama has a white hand. Cannot unsee.

[–]ShakyBonez 57 points58 points ago

Well he is half-white. I guess it's his left half...

[–]we_the_sheeple 31 points32 points ago

America's right half is white. He completes us!

[–]Kode47 26 points27 points ago

[–]scroogish 4 points5 points ago

Hehe. This is great.

[–]TheOnlyNeb 51 points52 points ago

Ah, yes...a picture of her to scare away perverts. That'll work like a charm.

[–]Damwing 106 points107 points ago

lol i had show all pictures on RES and clicked yes to view the adult comments :X i am so dumb. tt

[–]milkmymachine 75 points76 points ago

So you're one of those Internet perverts I've been hearing about on the picture box! Hssssss!

[–]i_theuniverse 825 points826 points ago

[–]_Shanghai_ 446 points447 points ago

It's the background people who got me.

[–]elcarath 76 points77 points ago

You guys have trained me well. I, too, immediately checked the background.

[–]LAfreak 77 points78 points ago

Obama kinda looks like xerxes from 300.

[–]10lbnuggs 35 points36 points ago

I will fap to this later.

[–]Ayatrolla 37 points38 points ago

[–]backdora_da_explora 5 points6 points ago

ARGHHH THERE WAS A FIREFIIIIGHT

[–]redvandal 65 points66 points ago

Well done on the color changes.

[–]borto91 31 points32 points ago

Obama looks like Tyra Banks

[–]Naggers123 15 points16 points ago

eugh.

+1.

[–]JestersHat 13 points14 points ago

How do you get the colors to match so good? It's something I've always wanted to learn :S

[–]i_theuniverse 9 points10 points ago

Just played around with hue, contrast, and brightness.

If that doesn't work, i do some color swap, or place color on a layer above and change the opacity or use an blending effect.

Smudging can help too to smooth the skin, and burning or dodging can have an immediate effect on brightness or darkness(shadow)

[–]cloacamassima 3 points4 points ago

it's the "just played around" part that I find difficult.

[–]RastaMom 8 points9 points ago

That is horrifying.

[–]galileofan 7 points8 points ago

Appears some scumbag took your work and posted it as his. http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/13da4m/illegal_face_swap/

[–]guntycankles 5 points6 points ago

Really nice touch on the two in the background as well... realized I gave a smile-nod of appreciation at seeing that while just sitting here at work. I must have looked ridiculously odd.

[–]btcs41 201 points202 points ago

Question. How many minutes did it take you to do this, and how many of those minutes were spent laughing?

[–]Thelastunicorn1 448 points449 points ago

15 and 0, I work straight faced and straight laced.

[–]fnasfnar 173 points174 points ago

This is how I browse Reddit.

[–]iiCUBED 86 points87 points ago

"Lol, that photoshop was funny." ಠ_ಠ

[–]Fartbomb666 10 points11 points ago

Man, picturing you working on this with a completely serious face makes it so much funnier.

[–]BardsofKaneda 27 points28 points ago

[–]ReVo5000 22 points23 points ago

Awesome!

[–]Thelastunicorn1 13 points14 points ago

Thanks!

[–]ReVo5000 9 points10 points ago

No, thank you for your funny work!

[–]bucketzzz 8 points9 points ago

No! Thanks you all for this comment thread!!!

[–]TheSouthernCross 30 points31 points ago

That's CP.

[–]Thelastunicorn1 12 points13 points ago

I don't even get it.

[–]Aerri 6 points7 points ago

Nips.

[–]Overeacting 9 points10 points ago

Hey look, Kayla is Jack.

[–]MrKrowe 60 points61 points ago

My mind is in the gutter.

[–]Tomorroww 372 points373 points ago

[–]firechao 91 points92 points ago

I really like how responsive Obama is being to the occasional meme.

[–]fecksteck 169 points170 points ago

[–]firechao 104 points105 points ago

I think they all know we'll edit it though. That's just to prevent any of these faces being used in some Republican campaign.

[–]xereeto 32 points33 points ago

Wait did he actually tag it as that?

[–]Sp3ed_Demon 88 points89 points ago

No, all whitehouse photos are tagged like that. It's a standard policy

[–]xereeto 61 points62 points ago

Does that mean everyone here is breaking the law?

[–]YNinja58 129 points130 points ago

I'M TELLING ON ALL OF YOU!!

[–]ChristopherJDorsch 82 points83 points ago

NO DON'T! I'LL BE YOUR BESTFRIEND!!

[–]Kalyptro 22 points23 points ago

I'LL GIVE YOU MY LUNCH FOR A WEEK

[–]lakelly99 28 points29 points ago

As the guy above posted, it's more about the image not being used in smear campaigns and such.

[–]BigDickSwag 9 points10 points ago

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that saying "you can't do this" doesn't make it illegal

[–]xereeto 13 points14 points ago

Even if the president says it?

[–]elcarath 6 points7 points ago

Probably not, since it's just being done for entertainment purposes on one little part of the internet.

[–]kiac 41 points42 points ago

I imagine one of his secretaries is a fan and will barge in with the occasional cheeky chuckler, "Check this one out Barry!"

[–]JCougar 11 points12 points ago

Are Obama memes one of the gifts Romney has been speaking of?

[–]hungryasabear 548 points549 points ago

My mom was worried about my trip to the White House, so I sent her this picture

[–]slaya771 32 points33 points ago

This is by far the best one here.

[–]ASSinAssassin 205 points206 points ago

Here's the same pic in (2048 x 1366) for shopping purposes.

[–]lfgk 348 points349 points ago

Here's the same pic in (3236 x 2157) for one-upping-you purposes.

[–]faggort69 86 points87 points ago

[–]Catawompus 27 points28 points ago

How do you increase the resolution of an image?

[–]theguhnslinger 168 points169 points ago

Zoom and Enhance. CSI Style.

[–]tmotom 133 points134 points ago

Yeah, just download more pixels.

[–]alkapwnee 53 points54 points ago

And uncropping programs.

[–]DrOfJuxtapositions 15 points16 points ago

You had me for a second, but then "wait, what?"

I'm very gullible.

[–]lonesome_god 41 points42 points ago

Don't forget to download some RAM too, while you're at it.

[–]fenixjr 27 points28 points ago

[–]ASSinAssassin 3 points4 points ago

What happens if you try to actually download that?

[–]fenixjr 17 points18 points ago

you get more RAM... did you not read it?

/s

it looks like it just loads a page with a progress bar that fills up. the bottom of the page has the disclaimer.

[–]iamdanhi 21 points22 points ago

Add more pixels!

[–]Sacrix 17 points18 points ago

You don't without increasing detail. However, you can do a reverse image search and locate other versions - including size.

[–]BrotherSeamus 3 points4 points ago

Apply the time-machine filter.

[–]lonesome_god 89 points90 points ago

[–]Austainious 41 points42 points ago

looks like Dicaprio is about to commit suicide off that chair

[–]Rauwz 102 points103 points ago

http://i.imgur.com/mhSdt.jpg

First post in this subreddit btw

[–]lonesome_god 14 points15 points ago

Good one, sir.

[–]appleavocado 8 points9 points ago

Perfect. The frown had me dying.

[–]upvoteOrKittyGetsIt 5 points6 points ago

This is the hardest I've laughed at a comment in a long time. The contrast between "I'm putting more happy people in the background" and "That happy guy looks like he's about to commit suicide" is hilarious.

[–]HOBOBEAR 277 points278 points ago

[–]Zhevros 93 points94 points ago

[–]RAGETRON 40 points41 points ago

How do people find these crazy tumblr sites?

[–]Puswah_Fizart 9 points10 points ago

Seen it many times before; clicked again anyways because it's ALWAYS worth a revisit.

[–]TmanV 4 points5 points ago

[–]photosherp 53 points54 points ago

Wikipedia is not impressed. Not impressed at all.

[–]FakersGonnaFake 166 points167 points ago

nice idea. try to add some noise and gaussian blur. that way he should blend in better.

[–]weinerboy69 91 points92 points ago

Thanks for the feedback! Initially, I did have some Gaussian blur in mind, but I got hungry, so I decided to just send it into Lightroom, add some grain, tweak the color and get breakfast. Next time I will not have my hunger run my life. Forgive me, master.

[–]Madonkadonk 146 points147 points ago

[–]weinerboy69 8 points9 points ago

You're a modern day hero, son.

[–]bdeprez98 67 points68 points ago

Is that Chuck Testa under Romney's arm?

[–]Deaddude56 100 points101 points ago

Nope. Just Chuck Te- WAIT A MINUTE.

[–]zombiej3sus 44 points45 points ago

yawning Imgur

[–]honey_I_shot_the_kid 393 points394 points ago

[–]squeechme 75 points76 points ago

And suddenly, they all look impressed!

[–]ansate 77 points78 points ago

You might be the best terrible photoshopper I've ever seen.

[–]Ganondorf66 18 points19 points ago

Shitty_Photoshopper

[–]Comrade_Ducky 20 points21 points ago

Why isn't Obama Gus? He's perfect as Gus!

[–]RainbowBrushie 25 points26 points ago

My god I love you.

[–]YNinja58 19 points20 points ago

I like that you snuck in Putin.

[–]Damadawf 4 points5 points ago

That one was actually pretty good, nice work dude!

[–]Reasonable-Man 3 points4 points ago

Chain of command, Daniels!

[–]bbizznass 5 points6 points ago

holy shit that is funny.

[–]fadedafterdawn 4 points5 points ago

This is hilarious

[–]honey_I_shot_the_kid 264 points265 points ago

[–]minersrevolt 162 points163 points ago

I don't know what kind of psycho you are, as this picture makes no sense, but that Joker/Obama is fantastic.

[–]Hayman68 315 points316 points ago

It's not about making sense, it's about sending a message.

[–]TheGasMask4 45 points46 points ago

It's the photoshop that Reddit deserves, but not the one it needs.

[–]willymo 14 points15 points ago

Damn. You guys get better at this every day.

[–]hawkxcore 76 points77 points ago

[–]tonterias 98 points99 points ago

You are better than that...

Sorry, I was unable to upload to imgur

Edit: now in imgur!

[–]BluShine 10 points11 points ago

It's better to post the image's URL rather than a link to the page with the image. It's not a big deal, but it makes it more likely to play nice with RES.

[–]mafoo 10 points11 points ago

Dark.

[–]tonterias 22 points23 points ago

You shouldn't judge people by their skin color

[–]phock 4 points5 points ago

What is that original from?

[–]MuggyTheRobot 11 points12 points ago

A video/gif Pictures posted of an asian man killing himself in front of his girlfriend. I tried finding it, with no luck. Someone will probably deliver.

[–]phock 10 points11 points ago

Well, that was rude of him.

[–]tonterias 8 points9 points ago

Here you have it

And I am the author of this one too

[–]doobiedoob1 233 points234 points ago

Don't ever change, doobiedoob1.

[–]doobiedoob1 34 points35 points ago

[–]TurboShorts 5 points6 points ago

Cool? I don't even...I've never...the fuck?

[–]Random_Fandom 3 points4 points ago

That is absolutely mesmerizing. I've always loved the harp, but to hear one of my favorite themes played on it was incredible. Thanks! :)

[–]V2Blast 122 points123 points ago

Tom Cruise.

[–]theonefree-man 65 points66 points ago

/u/shitty_faceswaps wouldn't be happy about this. I know this because that's me.

[–]Cygnus_X1 42 points43 points ago

If that's you then why didn't you post using the account?

Also, look how I just set you up for karma. All you have to do is reply as shitty faceswaps.

[–]Shitty_FaceSwaps 171 points172 points ago

THIS JUST IN: KARMA RETURNS AT ALL TIME HIGH!

[–]Cygnus_X1 19 points20 points ago

There's no better bait on Reddit than karma.

[–]Anchupom 43 points44 points ago

Maybe Emma Watson

[–]Cygnus_X1 15 points16 points ago

karma bait: 106 upvotes for shitty faceswaps

emma watson: 59 upvotes for you

Hypothesis of emma watson trumping karma denied.

[–]Anchupom 10 points11 points ago

We need to repeat the test if we're to properly test the hypothesis.

[–]Cygnus_X1 3 points4 points ago

This is reddit not a scholarly institution!

[–]Cygnus_X1 5 points6 points ago

Come to think of it, boobs and skimpy cosplays are the natural front page deterrents.
