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).
