Most of those are terrible. Quite the low bar for impressing people in that subreddit.

As with almost every /r/photoshopbattles link posted on this sub, it's not that impressive if you visit the sub regularly. There's awesome stuff there everyday (and some awful 'shops too). I imagine that the people who post links to /r/bestof do it because they stumbled into /r/photoshopbattles for the first time and thought they had struck karma gold.

This might not be the best example, but there are some very talented photoshoppers in PSB. People upvote for creativity and effort, not just photoshop skill.

u/LetMeStateTheObvious Feb 06 '13
As well, it's pretty impressive how many he did in such a short time.
17
u/theskabus Feb 06 '13
That's another thing to note, most of the photoshops on PSB are done in 10-15 minutes for these daily threads, usually the weekly battles are where you see people taking more time on their shops.

I'm going to trust you on this because of disappearing obama

u/theskabus Feb 07 '13
I'm also a mod of PSB, so there's that too. Partially due to that thread, I'm sure.
Edit: Also worth noting those obama spiderman shops were also 10-15 minute shops, took ~2.5-3 hours for all 10.

u/deep_pants_mcgee Feb 06 '13
They kept the images in the thread in question, didn't repost them with [FIXED] in the title, and it was mostly OC?
Fuck it, upvotes for everyone, just for doing it right.

u/theskabus Feb 06 '13
Yeah, that's how photoshopbattles works. You post shops to an image in the comments to the submission.

You described the standard operation of that sub, nothing spectacular about that. It certainly doesn't deserve a best of, that's for sure.

u/bloouup Feb 06 '13
Definitely better than I could ever do it, but from what I've seen from PSB in the past I was pretty disappointed.

u/theskabus Feb 06 '13
It's no spiderman Obama.

10 pages. I went through 10 pages and didn't see a single Spiderman Obama.

u/theskabus Feb 06 '13
10 pages of what? it's the #5 top thread ever on photoshopbattles
2
u/xylotism Feb 06 '13
I went through 10 pages of your profile looking for Spiderman Obama.
I feel like I might be doing this wrong.

u/theskabus Feb 06 '13
Well it was like two months ago and I post every day...

Hey did you make the "Spiderman Obama"!!??
Nobody cares...you need to get over it.

u/ciberaj Feb 06 '13
It's not really the quality but the originality. I've even seen some shops made with paint that were still funny as hell.
5
u/phlegminist Feb 06 '13
But these pictures are not very original or funny either... Most of them have no joke, they are just the guy pasted into a picture where he doesn't belong.

Agreed, 'Part XII' is quite despicable - I guess some of us have gone through such easy lives that they don't know or understand the harsh realities of war, either that or they've become desensitized to it.

I'm not sure if this is allowed (sorry if it isn't), but I put them all into an album if you want to view them more easily.

Really couldn't find him at the 9th photo

u/R3m3mb3rM3 Feb 07 '13
bottom left. Like if you placed a 3*3 grid on the picture. It would be at the top of the 7th square

This is what a smorgasbord of intellectual property laws, copyright regulations, online social norms and arbitrary "rules" on a subreddit do to a person. This poor man is so confused about what is right and what is wrong, what is allowed and what isn't, that he doesn't know whether he can put images in an album for easier viewing.
Destroy your mold, weej267! Free your mind. You are allowed to do anything you want (as long as you don't hurt another human), where you want and when you want. The world is your oyster and this is your day. Seize it!

I was just saying that because I wanted the original photoshoppers to get some credit. Thanks for calling me a "confused, poor man" though.

If no one in the thread photoshopped him into Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima, that's a serious missed opportunity.

i can't believe there was no "building of the pyramids" pic he was shopped into...i'd do it myself but my photoshop skill is exactly 0

u/amccaugh Feb 06 '13
Sounds like you've got more talent than most of the people in /r/photoshopbattles

u/theskabus Feb 06 '13 edited Feb 06 '13
No, you basically see worky's exact comment in every single thread. Usually there are 4-5 comments like that, they all get removed.

u/lenaro Feb 06 '13
Ugh. Why does photoshopbattles keep getting posted here?

u/lmxbftw Feb 06 '13
Because people keep upvoting it, which means that most people like seeing it.

u/lenaro Feb 06 '13
It's because photoshopbattles are just a bunch of images.
Text posts are harder to read if you're the lowest common denominator reddit panders to.

u/Brisco_County_III Feb 06 '13
Relative paucity of content partially caused by forbidding the default subreddits.

u/r_slash Feb 06 '13
Haven't we seen this a million times? Guy gets photoshopped into every famous image ever?

Man... why oh why does he have to be wearing an NC State shirt?!? Sigh...

u/icybains Feb 06 '13
Because go Wolfpack?

u/foxh8er Feb 07 '13
If he was wearing a UNC shirt, he would probably be moving into his parent's house.

u/doodie1983 Feb 06 '13
Meh. I thought these were going to be way funnier. A lot of the pictures just didn't make sense.

u/THE_UPVOTER111 Feb 06 '13
This is really the best of Reddit? The best of Reddit? Come on, in most of these, the guy didn't even have to use Photoshop, he could've done it in MS paint.

Geez, I gotta start cashing in on photoshopbattles karma. Those would have been pitied attempts on Fark or Worth1000.

Tank Man killed me, and then I felt a little bad. Thank you for posting these, the photoshop battles are always very impressive.

This is the greatest series of pictures I've seen on Reddit since someone asked that guy how he took a picture of his camera.

no "Most of these are terrible" because almost all of the posts miss the point of the joke, which is that he is not helping to move various shit

the original two were so much better than all the other 'shops.
And don't you dare criticize for the downvotes will rain down from the skies.

I was actually waiting for this one to come up. Then I saw you posted it, but with no shop :(

on half of these there's nothing to move in the picture?
