How to Avoid Misinterpreted Photo Editing Requests

We've all had that one awkward photo with an ex. It's even worse when the photo itself is nice, but it's ruined because your ex is in it. This girl wanted her ex removed from the picture, but it's tough. Her whole pose relies on someone or something supporting her arms and hands.

Therefore, the guy cleverly edited a bush shaped like a person into the photo, and it's quite smart. Her ex is gone, and her pose still looks natural, even though the idea of her hugging a tree is a bit unclear.

This Photoshop work is impressive for several reasons. The guy wanted the watermark removed, which isn't too tricky if you know your way around Photoshop. But watermarks protect photographers' work from being used without payment. That's likely why he received an entirely unusable image. They simply removed the entire middle portion containing the watermark, making it useless.

The remaining part of the photo was shifted downwards, resulting in the guy appearing to have no neck or mouth. His proportions also look pretty strange in the second photo.

What's more awkward than his hand in the left photo? Yep, it's his hand in the right photo. He wanted his left hand to look less weird by holding something. Well, it's holding something in the right pic, but it's still just as awkward. If anything, now it's hard to look away from it. At least in the first photo, you might have missed it.

However, we're crossing our fingers that this guy actually used the second photo for whatever he had in mind because it's downright hilarious. It'd fit perfectly for pretty much anything.

Oh boy, this couple had a rough time. They wanted a pic on their vacation, but the person taking it asked them to stand apart to fit in a tree. Weird, right? The girlfriend wanted that awkward space gone between her and her boyfriend in the pic.

She likely didn't expect this when asking to be "closer" to her boyfriend. The second photo shows some serious attachment—quite literally!

If you've ever spotted a social media pic of someone outdoors but dressed totally wrong, you'll get this. Props to this girl, though—she knew what she was after when she asked for a pic with her holding a fishing pole to be edited. Her request was like, "Can you make it seem like I'm a pro at fishing?"

The edited picture is quite neat. They transformed the pole into a net filled with all the "fish" or comments you often spot in these kinds of photos.
