Professional Photoshop Artists

Headquarters: Remote

About the Role

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.

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.

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.
