Our Favorite Photoshop Battles of 2018
This year has seen many epic battles, from UFC to the fight to win the 37th season of Survivor (yes, that show is still going strong)! However, perhaps the most legendary battles of all are the Photoshop battles on Reddit. Every year, artists fight to the finish to create the best, wildest, and most amusing alternative realities, and 2018 was no different. Without further ado, we are pleased to announce the Photoshop team’s favorite Photoshop battles of 2018.

2018 Was a Snowy Year
You’ve never seen snow behave like this? Just wait ’til you see what the internet made it do.
As the Beach Boys say, “We’re going surfin’.”

Clearly, someone poked the bear.

The Fouling of Klay Thompson
An epic capture, this picture shows Danny Green fouling Klay Thompson. After Reddit got hold of it, it became even wackier.
It’s finally here: the bouquet toss these basketball players have been practicing for all these years.

This important moment, immortalized in stone.

Even Michelangelo’s painting of the Sistine Chapel wanted to get involved.

If people had shown up to Danny Green’s saxophone performance, maybe he wouldn’t have fouled Klay in the first place.

Turns out, John Travolta is the number one Raptors fan.

Hide-the-Pain Harold
Hide-the-Pain Harold is more than a meme – he’s now a Photoshop battle.
With the right lighting and well-fitted clothes, anyone can model for Calvin Klein.

Harold perfectly captures Mona Lisa’s subtle smile, don’t you think?

Umbrella Meets Raincoat
Whoever dressed this boy knew he was going to stay dry, but they never knew he would go on to have so many other wild and surprising adventures.
One artist turned him into a bouncy ball on a trampoline for maximum bounce effect!

Another recognized that the shape of this boy’s raincoat meant he was destined to become a Beyblade.

And finally, this person recognized the boy’s shapeshifting powers, turning him into a lizard.

Upright Gorilla
This gorilla posed for a photo and unknowingly opened himself up to dozens of Photoshop manipulations.
He found himself a dapper prom date!

But he couldn’t have done it all without his gym routine. Those irons aren’t going to pump themselves!

Oblivious Fisherman
This fisherman caught a massive fish, but in doing so he might have also stolen a bear’s lunch.
Luckily, the bear forgave him for catching the best fish.

Another Reddit user elaborated on the friendly image above, creating a scenario where all creatures live in harmony.

No Photoshop battle would be complete without a meme thrown in.

Poolside Pup
This doggy knows how to relax, and the internet knows how to put him in funny situations.
This pup takes after Picasso.

He also infiltrated the cast of That ‘70s Show.

One thing’s for sure, this dog can boogie.
