Every now and then redditors share unedited pictures on the Photoshop Battles subreddit, and everyone is invited to get creative with Photoshop. They tweak the images however they like and post the results in the comments. The community then votes on their favorites, pushing the most popular ones higher up. The pic with the most votes is the ultimate winner of the battle!
"A big thanks from the mod team to everyone who participated in the 'Best of 2023' Awards! Especially to u/artunitinc and u/CptSasquatch for taking many hours to find, format, and post so many nominations. We can't thank you enough for being so generous to your fellow creators. We also extend our appreciation to the voters and, of course, to you photoshoppers who created the work we're here to celebrate. We wouldn't be here without you," say the moderators of the "Photoshop Battles" subreddit.
Besides all the winners, the moderators wanted to separately mention their loyal contributors u/Geo-NS and u/Comeau_Sushi.
"We all love Geo-NS's high-quality submissions and his creative Photoshop work. But apart from his longevity and prolificacy, he's also fun and helpful to anyone who reaches out. Altogether he's had a real impact on the community and deserves to be recognized for it."
"Comeau_Sushi has been a dominant force in the Weekly Battles and Operations this year; and for good reason. His originality and craftsmanship are incredible, and elevate those competitions into something more, challenging other creators to match his quality and inventiveness, raising the caliber of photoshopping across the board. But this isn't limited to the 'official' Battles; he brings the same level of excellence to every thread he participates in. And more than that, he's a solid dude. Always friendly, good-natured, and quick to compliment other creators. It's a joy to have him as part of the community."
