It's amazing that I had to wait so long for it, but I finally got a customer who wanted a photo edited to reveal stuff that wasn't in the picture - in this case, the person with the photo wanted his grandmother edited out of it, but his grandmother was standing in FRONT of him. He didn't seem to understand that this would leave a grandmother-shaped hole in his shirt, rather than reveal his shirt behind his grandmother.
The problem was compounded by a would-be helpful manager who suggested using Photoshop's cloning tool to draw in the bits that were missing. The guy was wearing a patterned necktie and a striped shirt, and through the window behind him was some sort of seascape. I was basically being asked to draw a third of this guy and half the background, whole cloth, from the existing asymmetrical elements.
Yeah. I got that kind of time. And talent. And inclination.
