FAIRPORT New York—(Weekly Hubris)—1 June 2020—Greta Jaruševičiūtė, of “Bored Panda,” calls James Fridman a “magic wish-granting funny photoshop genie” who’ll “give you EXACTLY what you ask for but in a twisted kind of way, deliberately delivering you the best Photoshop fails ever.” Fridman delivers some very entertaining modifications of photos folks send to him. Here are just 40 of the Photoshop requests he’s received. See if you can predict how James will modify any given image. And, if you’re seeking an epic photo-fail of your own, contact the genie at jamesfridman.com.
Tim Bayer, Webmaster, and Assistant Editor of Weekly Hubris, was born and brought up in Webster, New York. He attended St. Bonaventure University, earning a BS in Computer Science, and then worked in the hi-tech world. In 2002 he turned his creative energies to product development and video production with the release of his first independently produced products. When the demand for web site design and freelance writing increased, he once again switched skill sets . . . to writing and web work. An avid or, to be more accurate, rabid, disc golfer, he may often be found chasing plastic while in pursuit of the perfect round on a disc golf course, or designing and developing disc golf products for Demogrid.com. He says he tries to find the humor hidden in everyday experiences, because, “life is too important to be taken seriously.” (Author photo by Tim Bayer. Author Head Shot Augment: René Laanen.)
