Photoshop Graphic Artist (Advanced Color & Image Manipulation Specialist)

Job ID: 40287385

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

We do not accept auto bids. If you do not read this post all the way through your bid will automatically be rejected.

We are looking for a true Photoshop expert and graphic artist — someone who understands color, tone, and visual balance at a deep level, not someone who simply knows how to crop images or apply filters.

This role requires someone who can take existing images and transform them so they visually integrate perfectly into a specific environment, theme, or color palette.

For example, you might be given an image with strong cool blue highlights that must seamlessly blend into a warm brown / tan website design palette without destroying natural skin tones, lighting realism, or visual balance.

This requires artistic judgment, technical Photoshop mastery, and deep understanding of color relationships.

If you are the type of person who truly understands how color behaves and how to reshape it without degrading the image, this job is for you.

What You Will Be Doing

You will primarily be working with existing images and modifying them so they fit perfectly into website layouts, marketing materials, and branded design environments.

Typical work includes:

Rebalancing entire images to match a specific color palette

Adjusting highlights, midtones, and shadows independently

Converting images with cool lighting into warm environments

Maintaining natural skin tones while shifting background color balance

Removing color casts while preserving lighting realism

Matching images to brand-specific tone profiles

Correcting lighting inconsistencies across composite visuals

Enhancing visual cohesion between multiple images on a page

Your work must be invisible and natural — the goal is that the viewer cannot tell the image was heavily manipulated.

Advanced Photoshop Skills Required

You must be highly proficient with professional-level Photoshop tools, including but not limited to:

Color Correction & Color Grading

Color Balance

Selective Color

Hue / Saturation targeting

Gradient Maps

Match Color

Color Lookup Tables (LUTs)

What We Do NOT Need

We are not looking for someone who:

Only knows how to crop, resize, or apply filters

Uses preset Instagram-style edits

Performs purely mechanical Photoshop tasks

We need someone who understands why an image looks the way it does and how to intelligently reshape its color structure.

The Ideal Candidate

You likely have experience in:

Professional graphic design

Photo retouching

Advertising or marketing design

High-end visual compositing

Color grading

You should be someone who can look at an image and instantly understand how its color, tone, and lighting need to change to fit a new environment.

Working Style

You will be working directly with the project architect.

You will receive:

Images

Design context

Target visual style

Your job is to modify and adapt the images so they visually belong in that environment.

We work fast, we move fast, and we expect high-quality results.

Please include:

Portfolio examples demonstrating color grading or color correction

Before / after examples if available
