Photoshop is the gift that keeps on giving and when Redditors get their hands on an already hilarious image, you may be sure things can only get better.
There’sa whole subredditdedicated to Photoshop Battles and each year, those passionate Redditors hunt down the very best andhand out awardsfor the spectacular creations crafted for each category.
We’ve taken a look to find some of the most amusing to share for your enjoyment. Join us on a journey of hilarity and Photoshop brilliance.
Epic pumpkin carvers
Two of the biggest action heroes are seen carving pumpkins together. Then transported back through time to two of their iconic characters.
Oversized phones
We’ve all been there, making mistakes while shopping online. Here this chap had bought a table that looked like a phone rather than an actual iPhone.
The Reddit Photoshoppers have given him something that would be far more durable for his coffee cups.
Honey I shrunk the kids
When a small pooch came face to face with a tiny crab, this wonderful image came about. The resulting Photoshop Battle entry was just perfect. It’s been a while since Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Maybe it’s time for a reboot?
Screaming Lama
Who is more shocked? The tourist or the loudly screaming Lama? This startled Lama fits perfectly into famous expressionist oil paintingThe Scream. Certainly adds a lot more character to the picture anyway.
Daddy face swap
We love the original photo of this dad carrying his young infant inside his top, but the internet made it even better with a quick face swap. We also thoroughlyenjoyed this versionwhere the baby’s head was Photoshopped onto passers-by as well.
This rescued Sloth
This gloriously and majestic sloth looks far more fabulous and at home on the ice rink than he does in the hands of his rescuers. We certainly expect a high score from the figure skating judges for this one if nothing else.
A police dog and their sidekick
A police dog is captured on camera in a room full of confiscated drugs. The image was edited several times in the Photoshop Battles subreddit, but our favourite is almost certainly this one of cartoon character Shaggy Rogers making an appearance.
The rice wave
When a photo of a man makinga rice wavehit the web it resulted in aPhotoshop battle of epic proportions.
Alas, the original photo was eventuallyrevealed to be a fake, as the rice wave was actually shown to be a product for sale in a fake food shop in Tokoyo. That didn’t detract from how awesome the whole thing was though, nor how creative Photoshoppers can be.
Googly eyes
This cat’s eyes are already fairly cute and awesome, but the addition of some googly eyes only improves things even more.
The MGM lion
The image on the left did the rounds on the web claiming that this is how the MGM intro was created, with a poor lion strapped down. Of course, the truth is less sinister and the original image actually relates to a heart-warming story about a lion being givenpioneering brain surgery to save his life.
Still, there’s no denying it’s an amusing Photoshopping, if a little tongue in cheek. We’re desperately trying to avoid making jokes about a lion having a cat scan.
