[Hiring] Photoshop Specialist @Mindy Support

Role Description

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;
  • 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

• 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.

Requirements

• 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.
