Role summary

Seeking a skilled Photoshop Specialist for high-precision, manual image editing and pixel-perfect masking. The role requires advanced proficiency in Adobe Photoshop or Nuke, with a strict prohibition on AI tools. Responsibilities include executing targeted image modifications while preserving surrounding elements and adhering to strict visual quality standards. Deliverables include final images, edit masks, and source files upon request. This is a remote, contract position with a focus on meticulous manual work.

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).

Hiring process:

Recruiter Intro Call : A quick, friendly chat to get to know the candidate, check their English skills (B2+ level requirement), discuss shift availability (8/23), walk through the project scope, and confirm our strict No-AI policy.
Technical Assessment: A short practical test where candidates showcase their hands-on skills in manual editing, 8-bit PNG mask creation, and clean PSD/Nuke layer structure.
Onboarding & Project Launch: Signing the independent contractor agreement, sharing project guides and documentation, and getting the candidate ready to take on their first tasks under initial QA support.
