Everyone enjoys a good Photoshop battle -- especially when the subject in question happens to be some kind of important, official portrait.

Take the recent Presidential snap of France's Emmanuel Macron, for instance.

Really they should have known what would happen. His stance is literally screaming "Photoshop".

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the French site Topito had kicked things off.

Soon, the Photoshops were flooding in.

Things escalated quickly.

This last one may be our favourite.

Splendid work, everyone.
