The idea is simple: a business where people can send their pictures in to get photoshopped.

Photoshop yourself into famous moments in history, visiting famous monuments, doing crazy things.

Of course, the idea actually came from porn, as most do. I was wondering if there was a company that will photoshop naked bodies onto people if someone provided them headshots of clothed girls.

Does anyone know if a company such as this exists now? Of course anyone with some skill and Photoshop can do this, so its not like this will have a lot of exclusive control over the market or anything. But its an interesting though

Yep. Just about any graphic designer/ad prep person, etc. would be able to do this. Check Craigslist and you should be able to find several people who could do this. And local, which might be preferably security-wise to sending it off somewhere.

Well security probably doesn’t matter much when you’re emailing the pictures. Next door or next state, I don’t see how distance matters. And seriously, Craigslist has people who do this? :eek: It seems fraught with privacy concerns and lawsuits
