Rules for Submissions
I. Titles
All titles must begin with PsBattle:
This is case sensitive and must include a space after the colon.
Titles must objectively describe the subject of the image.
2.1. No jokes, editorialising, or giving background info. The quality of the image is more important than how catchy the title is.
2.2. Requests, such as "Please photoshop me or my friend", are not permitted. Please review our suggestions below for an appropriate subreddit.
2.3. Questions, such as "Where else could he be?" are not permitted.
2.4. No personal anecdotes or mention of your connection to the image.
2.5. No clichés such as "this has potential", "make this epic", "This cat/dog/baby", or "My friend/daughter/son...".
II. Image content
Submissions must be a direct link to a single image. Albums and paneled/tiled images will be removed.
Images must be reasonable quality.
2.1. Images must be at least 600x600 pixels (360,000 pixels total).
2.2. No technically low-quality images.
2.3. Images must be relatively well framed, and free from noise, blur, and distortion.
No disallowed image content.
3.1. No photos of tv screens / computer monitors / physical pictures / billboards / magazines, etc.
3.2. Images centered around text or signs may be removed.
3.3. No phone / computer screenshots.
Images that have already been photoshopped may be removed, including images with watermarks, logos, or added text.
Images that have active threads, or have been photoshopped here, or elsewhere, may be removed.
If the mods believe that someone would object to having their image photoshopped or shared (no snapchats), it may be removed.
Sexually suggestive and overly gory submissions may be removed.
Deleting submissions with work in the comment section is not tolerated, and will result in a permanent submission ban.

Rules for Commenting
Junk comments distract from this subreddit a lot more than in other subreddits that are not based on original content.
Comments that are cliché, karma chains, not an original photoshop, memes, reaction gifs, upvote gifs, or off topic are subject to removal by the moderators without notification.
NSFW tags must be used generously.
Top-level comments must contain an original photoshop.
Voting
Please upvote based on quality of work. Lazy shops shouldn't win just because they made you laugh.
Please do not downvote submissions just because they do not have obvious potential.
Please report inappropriate content to the mods.
