#50186 Photoshop Specialist – Image Processing & Masking

Job Description

We are looking for a skilled Photoshop Specialist to execute high-precision, single-task manual image editing and pixel-perfect masking. In this role, you will work on targeted image modifications while ensuring complete preservation of surrounding elements and strict compliance with visual quality standards. Key Responsibilities Targeted Image Edits: Perform precise manual modifications such as adding, removing, or replacing objects; changing colors, textures, and materials; swapping backgrounds; editing text; or applying overall style adjustments based on given instructions. Content Preservation: Keep all non-target elements intact, including background details, surrounding objects, layout, perspective, scale, lighting, grain, and scene structure. Masking & Placement Guides: Create and apply 8-bit grayscale PNG edit masks (white = edit area, black = preserved area) and precise placement guides. Ensure local edit regions cover at least 0.88% of the total image area (e.g., minimum 48x48 px on a 512x512 canvas). Deliverables & Metadata: Provide clean, full-resolution files (PNG/TIFF) matching source dimensions. Fill in required metadata fields (Task ID, source/output IDs, editor ID, licensing status, provenance, timestamp). Escalation Handling: Identify and report ambiguous instructions, missing assets, policy issues, or infeasible requirements immediately. Qualifications & Requirements Strict No-AI Rule: Zero use of AI tools, Generative Fill, AI inpainting, neural filters, auto-segmentation, or AI-generated metadata. All edits must be 100% manual. Software Expertise: Advanced proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Nuke, or equivalent professional image-editing software. Strong grasp of layer management, non-destructive editing, perspective matching, and color grading. Attention to Detail: Ability to integrate edits seamlessly without introducing seams, halos, distorted geometry, repeated patterns, or lighting mismatches. Package & Deliverables Final Images: Full-resolution PNG or TIFF files matching original dimensions. Mask Assets: 8-bit grayscale PNG edit masks and placement guides (when required). Source Files: Layered PSD or Nuke scripts (upon audit request).
