If you’ve ever used photo editing software, you probably already know how versatile it is. The only constraint is your creativity (and, to a lesser extent, the computing capabilities of your computer).
And even though the world is packed to the brim with Photoshop wizards and art and comedy professionals who make flawless transitions while constructing magnificent digital landscapes, there are far too many incompetent amateurs. Indeed, everyone must begin somewhere, and there is nothing wrong with learning from one’s mistakes. However, some photoshops are so incredibly poor that they should be pointed out.
That is precisely what the online community r/badphotoshop does. Members of this subreddit post the most hilariously lazy photo alterations ever to grace the Internet, whether they were created for businesses or personal albums. This article aims to make you laugh and feel better about your computer skills, regardless of their level.
Vote up the images that made you laugh the hardest, then tell us what you think in the comments. Oh, and those of you Pandas who make a living by editing photographs, beware: your jaws may drop, and you may have an overwhelming need to facepalm and clutch your pearls.

The ‘Bad Photoshop’ subreddit has been around for a while. It joined Reddit in December 2010 and is now a part of it. The sub has two community moderators and 20,600 members at the time of writing. For further details, Bored Panda has gotten in touch with the r/badphotoshop admins. As soon-as we hear-back from them, we’ll update the article.
The sub’s main idea is fairly straightforward. People are encouraged to upload “bad examples of altered photographs,” according to the moderators. Anything you can think of has probably been clumsily edited using photoshopping software.

Almost certainly, my favorite Photoshop fail. A professional apparently completed this for $200, as all the images are identical.

There is no-reason to make fun of the individuals responsible for these alterations. However, their “efforts” outcomes are worth a giggle. As long as someone is putting in the time and effort to enhance their talents and is willing to persevere through repeated failures to improve their Photoshop game, they have our utmost admiration.
Those who do shoddy edits on the spot and have no intention of pursuing anything slightly like excellence deserve to be called out online. At least they’re entertaining someone. This is already a victory, but it would be even better if it were deliberate.

Though it is still feasible to be a professional photographer without digital software in the present day, its use is becoming increasingly common. Retouching images, altering colors, and correcting contrast may radically alter the tone of an image with just a few simple changes. Professionally, having a decent, robust set of editing abilities can be a godsend.

Recently, Bored Panda chatted with Ohio photographer Dominic Sberna about photo manipulation. He stated that although computer software can be helpful, it is not all-encompassing. If you desire quality photographs, you cannot rely solely on them.
“At the end of the day, editing software cannot transform a poor photograph into a good one. A skilled photographer will have a keen eye for the topic being captured. Photo editing accentuates the details that the camera does not charge as effectively as the human eye, “he revealed to Bored Panda in an interview.

The extent to which you rely on photo editing software during the post-processing stage ultimately depends entirely on your objectives, your photographic style, and your personality. In other-words, everything will depend on how-much control you want over the result. Utilizing the resources at-your disposal will assist you in achieving the goals you have set for yourself.

Indeed, it seems to be entirely accurate.
“It depends greatly on the intention of the person holding the camera in their hands. The shot’s framing and the scene’s composition are the two most important aspects to consider when attempting to create a high-quality photograph from an artistic point of view. If you are only-interested in getting a funny photo, on the other hand, you shouldn’t worry about trivial matters such as that.”
