You may find  this is amusing. I agreed to help a friend in the USA with some photoshop work because she is fit and I was drunk. Here is the brief I received later.

Hey Mark!!

Thank you so much for helping me out!  I have attached various photos of people hugging trees and I was hoping you could photo shop them to the top of a tallish christmas tree?  Try not to make them too small because we want the girls to be able to see who it is each time, and keep them individual except the photo of the 2 ladies together.  There are some duplicates of some people so just pick the better photo please! 

I also have a few photos of some teachers in a class room doing impressions of "teacher's pets" I was hoping you could work your photo shop magic do there are 11 people pretending to be students and the 1 person being the teacher (the girl with the red top who was standing on the left).   

I will send you the attachments in chunks cos theres quite a few photos!

I will send you a copy of our finished video so you can see your handiwork!

Thanks again!!


Brilliant. That's gonna be easy!

Good evening, CH.

I feel your pain, sir.  I get that sort of thing all the time, friends brazenly asking me to do several hours work they can't be arsed to attempt.  I then go and compound the problem by accepting and being a perfectionist about it.

It's also amazing how a person's imagination knows no bounds when somebody else is doing the work.

By the way, how fit is she and where in America?
Report Clungehungry December 9, 2014 11:14 PM GMT
Well yes, also if she had asked me BEFORE taking the photos, I could have advised her that taking photos of people already hugging trees was probably not the most helpful idea! they have branches! But they need to be at the top, and not TOO small! And there's eleven photos to do. They're going to look like bears who gave into trouble!

Solid 9/10, Los Angeles.

Los Angeles?  Ah, sorry, you're on your own then! 

I suggest you stretch her own photo slightly to make her look a bit chubby.  That should save you more hassle in the future.

I have been informed which photos I need to prioritise tomorrow (!). I have at least been offered an apology it took so long to get them to be, as 'the tekky guy' took ages to upload them'.

Yes, I can imagine whichever MIT graduate employed by a small school has all the time in the world...

I have the photos now and the full horror is revealed!

The teacher's pet one - There are only seven 'students' sat behind desks, which fill the photo. My task is merely to photoshop in four more students being teachers pets. I mean there are no more photos I just need to create them. And then merely drop them in to what is already a very full and busy scene. I am tempted to use clip art!
