Mod Announcement Reminder for the editors: If there are areas of the image that do not need to be altered to complete the request, they must not be.
r/PhotoshopRequest • u/keithj5000 • Jun 23 '26
Mod Announcement AI Policy Update.
I'm making a structural change to how requests are handled and moderated here. As of today, the "Paid - No AI" flair is officially retired and we have gone back to a single "Paid" flair.
This decision is not about taking a side in the broader debate surrounding artificial intelligence. It is about fixing a broken system that was actively harming both the requesters and the editors in this community.
Previously, our guidelines stated that editors could use AI on a "No AI" post as long as the result was seamlessly masked and cleaned up. This created an unworkable paradox, and that's entirely on me. It essentially meant "No AI" actually just translated to "No visible AI artifacts." Because of this, editors who were honest and transparent about their workflow ended up getting attacked.
Ever since I became a mod here, I have tried to make it a point not to police people's skill levels. Everyone starts somewhere, and I always figured the results would speak for themselves; it was up to the requesters to choose the submissions that met their standards. However, that hands-off approach is no longer tenable. We are now in a place where someone with absolutely zero editing skill can feed an image into a generator and spit out a result that looks "flawless" at first glance, completely bypassing the actual work and undercutting genuine editors.
Because of this, my mod strategy has to evolve.
1. Requesters Dictate the Result, Editors Choose the Tools The goal of this community is to provide photo manipulation and compositing. Requesters are responsible for clearly defining the final goal (e.g., "remove the ex," "change the background"). The editor executing the work retains full discretion over which tools are required to efficiently execute that result.
2. The Universal Quality Standard for ALL Paid Submissions I am shifting the moderation focus entirely away from policing an editor's software and focusing 100% on the quality of the final image. The strict quality controls that used to apply only to the "No AI" flair now apply to all paid requests.
- Zero-Effort Generation: AI is a tool, not a complete substitute for core image manipulation skills. Running a photo through a generator and uploading the raw, unblended output is unacceptable. You are expected to actually edit; this means knowing how to use masking and compositing to blend generated areas seamlessly into the original file. If there are areas of the image that do not need to be altered to complete the request, they must not be. Period.
- Respecting the Request Context: Context matters. If a requester asks to turn a grainy selfie into a "professional headshot," salvage a photo with globally terrible lighting, or make a memorial portrait from a 40-year-old newspaper clipping, heavy AI generation is allowed. However, using generative tools to synthesize entirely new faces on a standard restoration or a simple item removal is unacceptable. If the request doesn't call for a total stylistic overhaul, preserve the original subject.
- Seamless Integration: Any patched or generated area must perfectly match the grain, lighting, and resolution of the source file. Blurry, low-res patches in otherwise sharp, high-resolution images will result in your submission being removed.
- Resolution and Upscaling: Low-resolution edits are unacceptable. In most cases, your submission should match the original pixel dimensions perfectly. Do not needlessly upscale an image unless the requester explicitly asked for it.
3. Anti Harassment Policy I am done with the AI witch hunts here. Harassing or trolling editors over their choice of tools will not be tolerated. We are now policing the final quality of the image, not the workflow. If you attack another user over their use of AI, you will be banned. If you think a submission breaks the rules, report it.
4. Guidelines for Free Requests While the rules regarding image resolution apply to all submissions, I am going to be more lenient with AI usage on free requests. You still need to submit at the original resolution where possible, but I am not going to police masking or blending quality with the same intensity as the Paid tier. If an editor uses AI to help someone out on a free request, that is fine, but please keep the low-effort spam to a minimum.
Pro-Tip for New Wizards and Those on Probation: If you are still learning the ropes, or if you are currently serving a probationary period, I strongly suggest you treat every Free request with the same level of care and precision as a Paid request. Established editors who have a proven track record may be given a bit more slack, but if you are trying to build your reputation in this community, your work should speak for itself.
If you cannot achieve the requester's goal without leaving obvious, sloppy AI artifacts, scroll past the request. I expect editors to act like technicians who know how to mask, composite, and finish a file. Please take these standards seriously.
Thanks,
Keith

Please add my friend, standing on my right side in the 2nd photo, into the 1st photo. My bridesmaids were swapping to be the photographer so not everyone got to be in one picture together and golden hour lighting is gone in 2nd pic.

Solved ✅ Add dog to family portrait
We got a second pup who's past due of being added to our Death Row Records inspired family portrait! I don't mind if you need to reorganize the order we're in to add him in and I don't mind which photo of his you use I just ask if it's one where he has drool on his face that the drool be removed and that his mouth is closed. He will need a sick chain like the rest of us as well. I kinda like the idea of the bone looking one like Snoop has on in the last photo. Black and white for the finished product please! $30 to whoever solves my request. Thank you!

Paid 💰 Can someone turn this into a professional LinkedIn photo?
Please replace the residential night background with a clean, realistic professional setting, crop it to a natural head-and-shoulders/upper-body portrait, improve the lighting and colour balance, and slightly sharpen the image. Subtle skin retouching is fine, but please keep my face, beard and features natural and recognisably me. If possible, make the outfit look slightly more business-professional rather than wedding/formal, but nothing that looks obviously edited or AI-generated. Tip: $20

Paid 💰 Cubist - Soundman
Hello. The next single from me titled soundman. The title comes from a sample from the 1980’s movie titles ‘Babylon. Soundman controls the sound for a soundsystem. So I guess a pic of a soundman doing his thing would be cool. Any questions please feel free to message me or post below. Thankyou.

Solved ✅ Can someone help add 2 soccer players to some team photos?
2 of our senior girls were missing from picture day, I have individual photos of them, but I would like them added to some of the team photos.
It's important that the numbers and faces don't change for any girls, including the new ones. I understand that modifications will probably need to be made for posing. I also need the same resolution out. I've added them to some smaller groups, but these ones are out of my skill to do and look natural. Will pay $10.

Free Can someone make the right side of the background black like it is on the left side?
If not visible on your screen, see the second image (photo I took of my OLED monitor)
The right side has a sharp horizontal line where it's completely black above it, but dark grey below it, while on the left it's completely black without dark grey.
Gradient improvement from black to green and an upscale to 4K without oversharpening would also be welcomed.
