Professional Photoshop Artists

<h3>About the Role</h3> <p>Our client is building an open dataset of real, professional Photoshop work, published on HuggingFace under CC-BY-4.0, to evaluate how well AI systems understand creative editing. Not synthetic tasks. Not staged demos. Actual production work, done the way you already do it.</p> <p>We're looking for working Photoshop artists across six disciplines to complete client-style briefs while a screen recorder captures the session. You work from a brief, you open Photoshop, you do the job. Each task runs roughly 1–3 hours.</p> <p>Your process is the product here. The layer decisions, the masking approach, the moment you undo three steps and take a different route - that's exactly the signal this dataset is built to capture. If you've ever thought AI evaluation of creative work is shallow because the people building it have never actually retouched a beauty shot or built a matte painting, this is your chance to fix that.<br><br>Rate: $25/hr USD</p> <h3>Timeline: </h3> <p>This is an extremely urgent role with work starting immediately. If you are interested and apply, please expect to be contacted and requested to complete your account setup on September 9th (Friday), 10th (Saturday), or the 11th (Sunday) to be considered for this role. </p> <h3>What You'll Do</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Complete Photoshop tasks from a client-provided creative brief, working at your normal professional standard</p> </li> <li> <p>Run a client-provided session recorder for the full duration of each task</p> </li> <li> <p>Deliver layered, production-quality PSDs along with final output</p> </li> <li> <p>Work independently, at your own pace, within the scope of each brief</p> </li> <li> <p>Contribute work that will be published openly for research use</p> </li> </ul> <h3>What You Bring</h3> <p>We're recruiting across six specializations and aiming for balanced coverage. Tell us which one is your home turf:</p> <ol> <li> <p><strong>Matte painting / digital environments</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Key visual / campaign compositing</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Game & UI assets</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Print & packaging pre-press</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Portrait / beauty retouching</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>E-commerce / product retouching</strong></p> </li> </ol> <p><strong>Hard requirements - please read carefully:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later)</strong> with your own licensed copy of Photoshop.
