@coral stone Very cool! Simple but effective. If you want to push the idea of it looking like letters in stone you could probably increase the darkness of the letter's shadows, and maybe the part inside the letter slightly too. Just look at images of real signs like that and I'm sure you'll see some deeper shadows.

#

@urban berry Very nice! I like the red and gold, works well. Kind of a nitpick, but I think making the like red part of the gradient a little darker could give the gradient a more transition. Looks good though!

#

@tall quiver Awesome textures with those Rosie! I especially like the paint texture on the white background, really cool look to it.

dapper basin
bleak fossil
#

@tough rose Nice work, really like the wavy almost psychedelic pattern around the outside of the letters. Really fitting pattern inside the letters as well!

dapper basin
bleak fossil
#

@dapper basin Very cool AG! I think maybe making the gradient shift from top to bottom instead of left to right could be interesting? I like the effect you currently have, like a fire is happening inside the letters, but the V seems strangely dark compared to the rest of the letters. Maybe match it to the brightness of the O next to it?

#

@proud isle Nice job on these! I like the cast shadow you added, and their facial expressions are a nice fit to the monsters being there, hah.

#

@pliant stone Wow, great job on the Rat Pack image, very convincing. Well done!

#

@young karma Nice work! I like how the brightness of the center of the text matches the brightness shift of the background gradient.

#

@rain monolith Very nice, I really like the pattern you chose. Very consistent effect throughout all the letter. Looks good!

#

@opal plume I really like the pattern a color effects on this one. Seems to fit the font choice nicely too. This is just a small suggestion that is really just personal preference, but it could be nice to try making the strip of light across the center a bit thinner. Almost like more of a strip of light through the center of the letters. Just an idea. Nice work!

#

@carmine musk Very well done Lenek! Really like the composition of the whole thing too, very nicely thought out. And of course the matching lighting really makes it work so well. Nice job!

#

@buoyant pendant Hah, very cool. Really nice work. If you want to push it even further I think some use of the multiply tool, as well as color correction to unify the whole image could really help. Here's a rough example. I mostly used a multiply layer to try and match the lighting a little more, and added more of a shadow to your left side. I also added a photo filter to unify the colors a bit. I also tried to soften yoda’s deep shadows with a hard light layer so they seemed less out of place with the rest of the lighting. Can be tricky to match photos when their lighting is too different like Yoda with all his hard black shadows on the left side. Hope that helps. Nice work!

#

@bleak fossil Thanks for the feedback! Nice call on the gradient. When I tried a smaller line I could see that the first version was kind of washed out. Here's the update.

hehe thanks @bleak fossil 😊

#

@jolly quest - Challenge 7: Again Thanks so much! super helpful - never used these techniques - Love the quick selection tool - awesome challenge - Defs worth making the time for!!

magic rampart
#

@wild carbon Nice job on the skin tone matching, looks awesome 😃

young karma
#

@glacial path yeah the orange part is the original photo, and thank you very much for the hint!
For the drop shadow on the text I'll surely try that! 😀
Yeah I added the grain, and gosh, I did't think about that, thank you again!!!!

@peak warren thank you very much, yeah I think I had to have that layer with less opacity... I shouldn't do those things at night 😅

rotund lark
#

After and before haha 😃

young karma
#

@winged vault @bleak fossil i have removed the dropshadow which gave this glitch. I scaled the layer to remove the line. The dots are more pronounced . I added a b&e on the text to give it more contrast and depth. What do you think ? Need more tweaks or modifications ? Thank you for your advice.

winged vault
#

@young karma what it looks like ?

young karma
#

@winged vault @bleak fossil here it is

winged vault
#

You picture inside the typography is still not readable, over all it's way better

young karma
#

@winged vault i’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean by readable. The clipping mask is a pattern. So what am I missing here? 🥴

@peak warren I just did that photo quick and dirty before I went to bed. I'm fine tuning right now to get rid of the harsh edges. The lady is just a stock model.

peak warren
#

@loud zephyr Understood.

#

@loud zephyr I am not up on celebrities, is why I mentioned it.

#

@peak warren That makes two of us. I feel old cause I don't know who did what to what Jenner or Kardashian.

@loud zephyr love this, so cool. Maybe turn down the saturation (I think this would be right) on the lady as she looks a little "poppy" compared to Deadpool.

I'm not sure if this will be the final result, but it's a start. Looking forward to seeing some animation ideas!

glacial path
#

@buoyant pendant well done! I like the gold/purple color combo 😃 Don't hesitate playing around with different textures 😄

#

thank you for the awesome animation @magic rampart - you could lower the text slightly, to center it 😃

wet thistle
#

Hi @glacial path @bleak fossil Thanks for the feedback! Is this better? I see left of him a little white edge. I merged the photo so I do not have a mask anymore. Could you tell me the best way to handle this?

glacial path
#

@wet thistle you nailed it! well done 🙌

#

@wet thistle but yeah, always try to keep the layers. I would only merge them if it is absolutely necessary

magic rampart
#

@glacial path Thank you 😊 Do you mean the April inspiration or the thanks for watching?

glacial path
#

oh sorry. yes. the "April Inspiration"

magic rampart
#

@glacial path thought so, just wanted to check. Will do, thank you.

glacial path
#

🙌 👍

glacial path
#

@raven meadow fancy fancy! I wish the pattern would move continuously 😃

raven meadow
#

@glacial path lemme see what i can do

wet thistle
#

@thanks @glacial path I learned my lesson.... no merging anymore!

young karma
#

alright, need some feedback on this. i want to turn it into a sticker for my sister, but i feel like something is missing. i think oogie boogie seems too flat, even with halftone added in some places for shading.i tried to add a texture layer, but then it seemed to overwhelm and then not blend with the txt.

glacial path
#

@surreal lichen this is fantastic! I'm a big fan of the green "drop shadow". But I would totally also make the "Let's get" slanted, just like the "CRAZY"

#

@young karma Look for reference images online! Of course I wouldn't copy them pixel by pixel, but they can certainly guide you

dim brook
young karma
#

ohhh yea maybe highlights and smooth shading instead of halftone texture. 🤔 Going to try that. Thanks @glacial path

peak warren
#

@young karma A Nightmare Before Christmas "Baby on Board" sticker. Hmm. You should be able to find some drawings online. I know Jack Skellington abounds. As for the sticker itself, I would put some room between the character top (head?) and the top of the sticker. And I may notice this more than most, but the display font you use looks weird when the B repeats in BABY. The hand-drawn effect is negated. Is there an alternate B in the character set?

young karma
#

@peak warren good points. ill move the character down a bit. there won't be a background, i plan to have this die-cut, the dark color is just to show what it would potentially look like over a tinted window. i don't think there was another option for the B, i'll look to be sure. BUT, i might be able to even try and manipulate the B to make it look different from the other. thank you!!!!!

#

@glacial path The animation I made longer. But it seemed to mess up the transitions . Any ideas?

#

@glacial path I did slow it to .05

#

@exotic swan it is really great to see all the different versions in one gif 🎉 ! The colors are super playful - love it 😃

@glacial path Thanks Tim !!! @glacial path 🙈 😅

#

@kindred gate hey Jackie! Now that's what I call a squad 😮 I would just take some more time with the selection around the hair (I know it can take some time). But it will be worth it!

#

@proud isle I really like it! Maybe you can fix the edges between the textures by blending them together or using the spot removal tool 😃

wet thistle
glacial path
#

@coral stone awesome job with the dented texture 😃 Just one quick tip: you can make it look even more real by using displacement maps (check the #🔨resources channel for a quick tutorial)!

Amazing 😍 @glacial path. When I arrive home I’ll make the adjustment. 😄

Hey @robust plank A+ color matching! Just one thing: the dolphins look like the stop existing below the waterline. but as you can tell from the person, you can still see things even when they're underwater 😃

Hey @strange bronze I think you forgot to dye some hair there 😄

#

@glacial path here is the original picture. How would I add the tail under the water? I can't see the tail in the water here.

peak warren
#

@robust plank the angle of camera-to-sun is different in the two images. That makes the water more of a mirror in the dolphin photo. I don’t know how to make dolphin refractions with wave distortions, though. Maybe you could place the guy in the dolphin photo, and remove him below the waterline.

#

@glacial path Thanks for your feedback. I lighten the color for the edge of the hair to make it much natural.

Thanks @young karma ! As I had not much time and certainly wanted to excersize, I’m not so pleased with the images I used, that can much better, or at least I hope I can 😄. But I thought better to do the excercize anyway, so I later can remember how it works (or have a better chance to remember after doing it once) 😄🤪

#

@tulip fern I like how you put your letters GO CREATE, special the title without background is great, it looks stronger without white background (I think). But may I ask you a question, how did you do to put your letters big-small-higher-down... did you do that letter per letter, or is there a filter to help you doing that?

@young karma thank you for your feedback 😃 I converted the text to shape. Not sure if I followed the right path but I selected the Text layer in my layers panel and than a right click to open the alternate menu. From that menu I selected "Convert to shape". Once you do that you can individually select the letters as shapes with the path selection tool (key A). However the Text tool will not work not the text anymore.

Hi guys! I'm so far away but here is my work for day 7 😋

Before:

robust plank
wet river
#

wondering about how convincing my photoshop editing skills are, can you guys tell what I changed in this photo? and also how do you think it looks? ^^

peak warren
#

@robust plank that looks good. Note: I am on a phone, so I’m not at super hi res.

#

@wet river looks like masking at the edge of the model’s hair. Or something else with a soft round brush, especially at the top of her head.

That said, I like this image a lot.

wet river
#

@peak warren thanks! I changed a whole lot! here's the unedited photo;

peak warren
#

@wet river Nice. I like the blue check on her dress, and the makeup changes. The stray hairs are the hardest to mask. Did you try “focus area?” Because this a shallow DOF image.

wet river
#

I didn't really change the make-up though! 😛

#

yes stray hairs are really difficult!

peak warren
#

Also, I know this is a PS thread & not fashion, but the blue check is a better look. 😂

wet river
#

I've made the layers so that I can change the dress and hair into any color with a few clicks!

#

@peak warren what do you mean by "focus area"?

peak warren
#

@wet river The focus area is part of select menu. See below

#

It doesn't work that well on this image. I can't get her hair selected and the BG deselected.

wet river
#

oooh, right okay. I masked with a path!

#

I don't know if there might be a better way to get fly hairs when using a pen tool?

peak warren
#

@wet river The hair in that image is not very contrast-y vs the background. And the background has a repeating pattern, like a fence, plus bokeh. Makes it hard for me to think of a good way except pen work. Ugh.

wet river
#

I mean I was using the pen, haha. I think the issues of the edge can be fixed better with lighting and other tools though. ^^

peak warren
#

@wet river +1

@magic rampart Day 9 challenge marred by vestiges of hair in trees and shoes on railroad ties, also misalignment of running rails. Liked concept overall. Could vertical narrow framing confining transition within gauge (distance between running rails) of the tracks and clever overlapping of a tie closer to the camera that is unoccupied by the shoes?🚇 ?

latent lion
magic rampart
#

@latent lion Thank you for the advice, the animation was from my submission from day 1 (frames) which is below, and is supposed to be the transition between the frames, so the errors are supposed to be there. I like your suggestions though, so I'll do another one if I get chance, many thanks.

@wispy compass again lovely. Really really like it! 😊

@uncut ginkgo Hey tbh I'm so bad at selecting fonts that's why I selected a random one and put my own name on it 😄 (yeah basically a helvetica guy)

For the twitter banner the character is from a game (but it's a skin hard to recognize it) and I did the rest, I may work on it later to really work with the typography (not just a rectangle)

For the symmetrical work, I spend 95% of the work doing the 3D (lol...)
What do you think about project title ? (I didn't do for each challenge cause it would require so much work lol)

@glacial path @sterile bane I made all the changes you suggested, except the dress.

Hi all -
I did a small quick project on choosing a brand and creating a beauty branch out of it that they would release.
https://www.behance.net/gallery/79128105/What-if-Silk-had-beauty-products-Packaging

Behance

A quick small branding project were we have to choose a brand that would not think of releasing a beauty product since it already form a large target consumer. I choose Silk because I do enjoy milk alternative and was wondering what would they do with the…

sterile bane
#

what a cool exercise! this is a great example of a successful personal project 😄

hardy kayak
#

Thank you @sterile bane I also think it's a great exercise! The fun (& patient) part was white paint-spraying the products from the dollar store and taking pictures 😊

young karma
peak warren
#

@hardy kayak I like this idea. Nice mockups. That said, I think the font you choose is too contrasty. The "Almond" in Silk's Almond Milk is a very low contrast font. The one you chose starts to disappear when zoomed out. See, for example, the Ys in Body Spray. Me personally, I like contrasty fonts, but it doesn't work that well here. Also, it isn't similar to their typography on the milks.

#

@young karma Now I know how to say Happy Easter in Flemish. 😃

@jolly quest @sterile bane @agile ruin I really tried hard to find a dress and this was the best I could do. I hope that this is an improvement from the last post... What do yo guys think?

#

nicely done @loud zephyr ! for the dress, are you using a blending mode?

loud zephyr
#

@uncut ginkgo Thank you. I had to use a few things. Blend Mode Overlay, Hue/Sat, Levels adjustment masks because the dress was dark royal blue. I think I had to use color selection (mask) as well.

@uncut ginkgo I'll post my newest composite Friday

vocal wind
coral stone
#

Hi @vocal wind you can use the dog as reference.
The light is coming from the right, so you can create a levels or curves adjustment layer to make that for the bunny and also for the shadows, you can use the layer mask to create the lights and shadows ponts.
I think the bunny's perspective is a little off , it seems to be a little up, above the ground, compared to the dog, maybe you can try to lower a little bit.
You can create a cast shadow to match the perspective and give a more realistic look, also you can use the dog's shadow as a reference.

#

I hope you can understand my English 😄

Hi @mighty vessel I like the style. Nice presentation. Good colors throughout. Not sure I approve of "man products" as a title, but that's a comment about gender, not Photoshop.

#

My wife competed in Seattle Dance-o-Rama yesterday and today. I was photographer & videographer. This 4 panel view is shots of her feet during one dance heat. Matched the exposures with adjustment clipping layers, so all 4 views of her dress looked the same. (Lighting on the dance floor was ahem challenging.)

latent lion
#

@mighty vessel As branding it raises questions. "AUTU" would be interpreted by the brain as "AUTO." The mind automatically corrects any mistakes in its effort to comprehend. So why "AUTU"? Is the difference rooted in language as a composite of "au" and "tu"? Your usage of the Maple leaves in your letter A could be enhanced by lowering the leaf so the points of the leaves are not so close to the outer edges of the "A" - even spacing surrounding the leaves.🚇 @peak warren liked dance pix. As a grid it seems slightly off center maybe a flip horizontal of the lower left image would balance the grid.

@chrome atlas I like the image. It has good detail in the darks. And I like the monochrome treatment, or nearly monochrome. I do wonder about two things. First, the tail is out of focus while the rest is in focus. Is that intentional? Second, the wing (?) overlaps with the tail, but just a bit. The negative space it forms is interesting, shaped kind of like a crown. But I'm not sure you want the overlap.

#

Also, is this your origami? I know this is a PS Discord, but that is nice paper folding.

  1. No it was not on purpose, im not good at photographinh 😄 2. I guess not overlapping wouldve been better im not sure tho. i didnt even notice this
#

And sadly not my origami 😄 The school gave us few of these

@chrome atlas Were you using a tripod? If so, you can set smaller aperture/ higher f-stop, for better depth of Field. But if that is not enough, you can take multiple images at slightly different focus settings, and do focus stacking in PS. It is a super feature, but it needs tripod to work so that the images align well.

I'm completely new to all of this; this is my first time using photoshop. here is creative challenge #1. what do you think? how can I improve?

timid pasture
young karma
#

I'm sure there's a way to stagger the size of the dots with a gradient and a filter but this is the lazy version

magic vapor
young karma
#

The filter is a combination of smart filters, it's Oil Painting, posterize to limit colors, and this is across 2 layers one set to multiply for the lines

#

@magic vapor

#

it was today's behance/photoshop daily project

weary steeple
#

Think they wanted to know how you did the half-tone brush effect

magic vapor
#

@young karma very nice, I was wondering about the doted effect is that a filter?

young karma
#

No that's a halftone brush, Now I'm pretty sure there's a way I can jerry rig a radial gradient and apply the halftone effect that would stagger the size of the halftones to make it look more natural, i just havent gotten around

#

I made an extra layer, put the brush on top, lowered the opacity so it blended more naturally

@magic vapor That's looking awesome! Have you thought about also experimenting with some background textures?

This image is from a comic / graphic novel I've been working on for almost 10 years. It's called 'The Girls From T.N.A.' I'll put a link below. This scene is from the prologue for Chapter 6. The characters are created in an app Called Poser Pro 2014, and the forest in the background was created in Vue 10 Complete. Hope you don't mind my shameless plugs. LOL

@mental glade Nice execution of the effect 😃 Just one thing: If you like to credit an artist, I would make the watermark more subtle. right now it almost is the first thing I'm looking at. I thought the text was referencing something in the image and that I would have to read the text to understand the image. You know?

mental glade
#

@glacial path thank you 😃

midnight frigate
bleak fossil
#

@snow palm Hah, cute cat. Nice work! Currently I almost get a painted feel from this one, I think if you tweaked the oil filter settings bit to make the stokes appear to have less dimension it might strengthen that comic colored feel a bit more.

#

@mental glade Cool effects on the texture of the Tiger! I think if you played around with the settings to make the edges a bit harder and more crisp, it might push it away from "painterly" and make it a bit more graphic and comic like. Either way it's got a cool look to it! Nice work.

#

@upbeat cosmos Really love the effect of your fire breathing dragon! Very nice use of the dot texture. The whole effect works really well on this image, especially the buildings, definitely gives of a sort of detailed inked/drawn feel.

snow palm
#

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

bleak fossil
#

@upbeat laurel Cool to see you applying your architectural window images to this challenge. Interesting effect. I think for the second one, and in general, pushing that line layer Jesús did is pretty crucial to give it that inked/line drawing look that really can push that comic book feel.

#

@weary steeple Oooh, nice effect on that. Very cool retro vibe, looks good! Also great avatar, hah. My girlfriend and I just finished watching through the entire series a few weeks back.

#

@worldly wadi You did a great job with that image, definitely feels more graphic and comic-like with the effects. The text boxes are a great touch as well!

#

@timid pasture Well done! I think the more aggressive lines can definitely help the overall comic effect for sure. I think adding a more colorful/bold gradient in the background could really help push that comic feel as well.

midnight frigate
#

@upbeat cosmos GREAT effects! Im inspired! i will make another entry!

bleak fossil
#

@wispy compass Ooh, cool effect on this one! I kind of feel like some sort of color pass/photo filter on could be a good look at push the colors more towards something that feels like it's out of a comic. Maybe a cool color pass or something.... just an idea. Nice work!

@midnight frigate this is awesome!!! We both used animals for our challenge!! Yours looks way better than mine though that’s for sure!!!

#

@snow palm lovin’ the cat!!!!! Good work 😃

bleak fossil
#

@loud ferry Nice work! I think (on the image with the little girl) simplifying the background in an image like that might be the best solution, keeps the focus at the front. Did you apply the oil painting filter to the lines at all? Currently they look a bit rough, that filter used like Jesús did can give them a nice hand drawn look. Nice job!
On the girl in the beanie: Nice! I think some images can definitely be tougher than others. I think a key to this effect is getting that nice outline around the subject of the image.

#

@red thunder Hah, great picture. Really cool look to this one! I love how the lizard looks, but I think if you masked out the background and blurred it or simplified it more somehow it could give the image less of a realistic look and push that comic look even more.

cinder vessel
bleak fossil
#

@robust plank Very cool! Nice strong outline around the figures in this one, looks great. I think if you were able to get rid of all the texture in the couch, and maybe even replace the white background with a stronger color if could push that comic look even more. Looks good!

#

@knotty charm Looks great! I think if you could simplify the colors even more with the Poster Edges effect, and make sure "lighting" is checked off when you run the oil filter over it the image might look less painted/detailed and more simple/comic looking. But even as it is right now it has a really cool look to it on its own. Nice job!

#

@severe flame Nice job! Some really cool effects going on here. One suggestion to push the comic look more would be to make sure the lines are crisp and hard edged. Sometimes when the edges (like it in the black area of the bird's head) get softer they can start to look more like a painting. Also if you're able to simplify the background more into areas of color without so much detail I think that could push the comic look as well. Looks good, nice work!

#

@sharp pier The half tone filter looks great! Did you use the line and color effects Jesús showed in the stream today? If not, I think those effects could push the effect even further. Nice work!

red thunder
#

@bleak fossil Thank you so much for the feedback!

bleak fossil
#

@cedar radish Ooh, great take on this challenge! Definitely gives it more of that vintage illustrated pin up look. Great job! The only thing I can think of to push it further (if you haven’t already) is to lightly apply that oil filter effect like Jesús did on the stream to soften up that edge shadows in her arm and legs… might help, but it looks solid as is to me.

#

@fallow bough Very cool! I think maybe simplifying the background somehow could help. All the crazy detail draws a lot of attention and comic backgrounds are usually more simple to let the characters pull the focus. For example, I think the far background on the right looks great. A simple shape with a simple outline, but the background closer behind her has a ton of detail I think could be simplified. Just an idea, nice work!

glacial path
#

@bleak fossil is on 🔥🔥

bleak fossil
#

😉

#

@mild karma Nice work David! I think righting the right images for the effect can definitely help a lot. I think the key to getting this comic effect to work is getting a nice inked looking outline to the image, and simplifying the colors like Jesús did with the effects he used on his two layers. Right now the man in the hat has a lot of complex detail in his face and beard and running the effect over that so simplify the colors, as well as add an outline could really push it to look more comic-like.

#

@wet thistle Looks good! I don't know if you mean the oil effect when applied to the lines? It looks pretty good to me, but did you make sure to have "lighting" checked off? I only wonder because the lines in the background have a bit of dimension, which make it look more painted. I also think simplifying the background so all the detail is in the person might make it look more comic-like.

#

@kindred kernel Hey Gerard! Good to see you in another DCC! Nice work, Maybe try playing with the saturation in the person's face (in the plane image)? Comics usually have fairly bold colors so that might help push the effect a bit if the colors a bit more saturated. You could also play with a levels adjustment on your photos to brighten up the image as a whole

#

@raven meadow Really cool effects on this, I really like how you pushed the colors as well! Also great subject choice, Hook was one of my favorite movies growing up 😄

@raven meadow great job!

bleak fossil
#

Maybe something like this? @wispy compass I applied a "Cooling Filter (80)" at 25%, and a filter (Filter-pixelate-color halftone) and set it to 50% opacity. Just a suggestion, but gives it a bit more of a comic look to me.

#

@mild karma yes it does help! Good job. Did you apply the Oil Paint filter? You don't have to if you don't want. But I was just wondering.

#

@timid pasture you certainly doubled the effect! It looks great!

#

@fallow bough looks great! Good job!!! 😊

#

@cedar radish excellent work! It looks great!

#

@sharp pier looks pretty good! Fantastic job;. I would maybe add a bit of the oil paint filter to make it looks less like a photo.

#

@severe flame I think you did a great job! My only suggestion would be to maybe adjust the width of the black lines. Just to see if you can get more detail on the bird.

#

@knotty charm great job! No spoilers!!!

#

@worldly wadi great job! Definitely a great photo for this effect!

#

@weary steeple great job! I like the pattern you added to it. It adds to the effect!

#

@upbeat laurel really good job! I love how the flowers look!!!

#

@upbeat laurel That's great! I'm glad you improvised with other filters!

@turbid vapor WOW, this one is cool. I like it! 😃

#

@vivid wadi I think the gradations in the sky are a natural side effect of the posterization. If you want to minimize them, you have to do some alteration, like selecting the sky and filling it with a single shade of blue.

#

@vivid wadi I like how the poster-edges works on the white part of the dome. Really good effect. Is this the Duomo in Florence (Firenze)?

#

@gentle siren I think the edge effect is strongest on the first image. I like it a lot. The bottom image is good, but making a black edge on black hair or halter doesn't really show up. The image ends up just looking posterized. There are some subtle lines around her nails, but not as vivid as the other images.

#

@sour ingot Great image. So much that I like here, but especially the hair curls on the R side, the eyes, and the shading of the lips. Any idea why her (your?) t-shirt doesn't get a poster-edge on the shoulder?

Hi @lethal mural @bleak fossil Thanks for the feedback. I removed the background and used a gradient instead.

@lone hare NAILED IT!

#

Thank you @turbid vapor It was fun

silk wigeon
#

@lone hare OMO! this looks superb!

#

Did you do it with the same technique Jesus learned?!

lone hare
#

@silk wigeon Yes with a few tweaks of my own

silk wigeon
#

Daebak! (cool!) Could you share those tweaks? I was planning on using this style for my new portfolio site. But never found the exact appearance

#

espesially with the background

light nebula
lone hare
#

@silk wigeon I applied the same filter adjustments as @lethal mural did (you'll have to mess with the sliders until you get the style you want) I then you used blend modes and a gradient to change up the color. Then overlaid a falftone pattern. Its a whole lot of messing around with these details that got me to my end result.

silk wigeon
#

@lone hare ahhh! Thanks for the tips!

lone hare
#

@silk wigeon of course, once you can recognize what details need to be in your composition you mess around until it feels right. 😃

@bleak fossil Thanks for feedback. Tried a background with less detail. Have the problem of my laptop crashing PS on Oil Paint filter so had to do much work on outlines to make work.

My project for yesterday. Turns out my computer can't run the Oil Paint filter so I had find a workaround. Feedback greatly appreciated.

https://www.behance.net/gallery/79649111/May-2019-Photoshop-Daily-Creative-Challenge-Day-1 So I made 3 because I found too many photos that would look great with this. Also mixed what I did before the live and what was taught in the live. Also oil paint doesn't work on my laptop sadly 😦 so I improvised and used fresco on the line layer and gaussian blur on the color layer

Behance

I did a bit more than what was in the live video oops except for the oil paint filter because it doesn't work on my laptop :( I used fresco filter on the line layer to replace oil paint and gaussian blur on the color layer.

Hi all! I'm new to Discord but have been watching Jesús Ramirez's YouTube channel for a couple of years. Here's is my rendering of the first challenge; it's the lead singer in my band, behind her is the bassist.

@warm kestrel oooh! I love how you've added the speech bubble in the lower right corner, even though there would be enough space right next to her. But since that would block the action, you did the right thing 😃 . I also like the font 😛

@deep mango that's awesome! I really like the color contrast between the teal in the background and your shirt+hat in the foreground 😃

Thanks TIM @glacial path

Thanks @glacial path 😃

#

@dusk crown woooah! That typography is really cool 😄 Great use of the 3d effect in Photoshop. Did you render the image? It looks like you took a screenshot of the preview version. There are still some aliased corners

#

@wet thistle great job combining the double exposure and comic book effect 👍 - I also like the overall look, the yellow and blue play nicely together. But maybe you can find an image, that has some connection to the instrument?

#

or music in general

#

@obtuse haven Now that's what I call a winning smile 😁 . I think you could make this image better by removing some of the distractions, like the two objects here

#

@obtuse haven you could crop the image or you could use content aware fill to remove them 😃

thorn dove
#

I could use some assistance on mine wasn't able to get the same effect in the image

dusk crown
#

@glacial path Thanks! No, I don’t think I did, it’s literally my first time with 3D stuff. I exported the whole image as a PNG, how do I render it? 😃

#

I think I found it: 3D > Render 3D Layer, right?

obtuse haven
#

Thanks @glacial path! Those are great tips!

dusk crown
#

Man, my CPU is not having a fun time rendering, haha. It’s at 97%. 😅 I’ve rendered a couple of things in Blender before though, so it’s not super disconcerting.

glacial path
#

@dusk crown yes! and yeah, it will take some time to render 😉

#

@thorn dove thank you for submitting, that's a very cool (and probably very emotional) photo 😄 - The effect is very subtle, I think you can easily increase it ^^

@sharp pier pretty cool, Dit you use one gradient on the whole image (back + foreground) or did you play with multiple gradients for fore + background?

@silk wigeon Amazing! I like the way that the rose is integrated with the background

#

Maybe you could put the "Roses are fine" a little up

mental glade
#

i also really like the image of the flower and background, but the text is working against the design as is. I would suggest sticking to one font. and i agree with valdair, the "roses are fine" text could be pushed up to not cover up the flower petal. looks fantastic though. 😃

@lone kestrel That looks great!

@sour ingot Loving the GoT theme! It's looking great. Nice adding the text in the back there!

#

@unique skiff Nice touch adding that nebula/galaxy to the astronaut helmet!

mental glade
#

i agree with nathanadains. great image. the second word over the figure is hard to read completely tho. i also really like the thin white halo around the figure.

sharp pier
#

@mental glade - I think that text is the Adobe Stock watermark.

lone kestrel
#

it is the adobe stock watermark

mental glade
#

ooooh yeah i think ur right

#

yup yup

#

well the image is great boom 😃

#

@fast moth I see that Stormtrooper and I approve! Might even be cool to mess with the Levels settings and make his armor a clearer stark white!

#

or we can just go with "Ock"? sounds like a pretty hardcore rock name?

#

lol

jolly quest
#

@vale burrow So great to get to see the before and after in your portrait piece! lookin good!

#

@wet thistle Very interesting piece, adding that second image into the shape of the man! Looks awesome with the filters! great work

#

@warm kestrel Nice Day 1 Challenge! the filters make it look totally like a painting. great job

#

@warm kestrel nice touch with the speech bubble too!

@storm sierra and @jolly quest i would be interested on learning how to do a mock up? can you point me in a good direction?

storm sierra
#

am first i am not good at english sorry

#

second there are a lot of free mockups on internet

jolly quest
#

@storm sierra Where did you find the file for the mockup?

storm sierra
#

Like plugins for photoshop or

jolly quest
#

I usually find free files

storm sierra
#

in my case

jolly quest
#

they are fun!

storm sierra

an image

#

because this mockup i think is paid

young karma
#

@jolly quest thx! What can i do to make it better?

mild karma
#

@lethal mural Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it 😃 yes i used the oil paint filter, think i need to mess with the settings some more.

jolly quest
#

@young karma I think you could experiment with the font/text a little bit! I wonder what it would look like with white text?

mild karma

@bleak fossil Thanks for the feedback Sam, i will experiment with it, love these challenges 😃

@placid trout on your Space Lord cover the pronounced blue in the eye socket makes the death masque asymmetrical/ On the maks the same blue at the nostril and neck could be toned down. Maybe puppet mask the corner of the mouth to make the "LORD" sneer enigmatically on the one side.🚇

@plush marsh I think that you did great! Love the color choices and the placing of the text is excellent! Not much I could suggest 😊

coral stone
#

Thanks @storm sierra 😃

lethal mural
#

@young karma great job! Very vibrant. I would suggest working on the text a bit. I feel like it might be a bit too thin and it gets lost. But overall I think that you did a fantastic job!

arctic delta
#

Can I get some thoughts, feedback on this? It’s a school project I’m doing. I have to create a book cover. Many thanks !!

lethal mural
#

@sharp pier Nothing wrong with the 90s! Great job on the color choices. The text gets a little lost so I would suggest a larger font size or a different font.

storm sierra
#

@arctic delta so the margin of the text is too small

arctic delta
#

Thanks! I’m still playing around with font 😬

lethal mural
#

@silk wigeon great job! The rose and the effect look excellent! The placing of the text seems a bit off. Maybe move the top line up

#

@lone kestrel fantastic job! Thus is almost ready to print!

silk wigeon
#

@lethal mural Thanks for the feedback, I will try this challenges again tomorrow. I''ll keep this advice in mind. 👍

coral stone
#

@storm sierra I made some changes, I chose Acumin, moved the text and added some quote lol, what do you think? 😃

silk wigeon
#

Good day or night to everyone! 🙃

storm sierra
#

am if this is for print there are problems with the text.

#

the bold text is too big and it can be cutted while printing. And for the light text there are no contrast. So try making the big text a little bit smaller, and put shadow to the light text or change it to regular idk

#

@coral stone

#

Sure, thanks @storm sierra

@jovial moss this is fantastic! Great use of the halftone overlay 😄 I would just reduce the saturation of the blue frames 😃

#

@mental glade Cool flare effect in the center 😄 How did you make that?

mental glade
#

lemme double check the name of the filters

glacial path
#

Plastic wrap?

mental glade
#

thats it

glacial path
#

with a black layer?

#

ha! I knew it 😛

mental glade
#

no thats another filter to make the black in the center

#

lemme check those lol

#

i also used neon glow

#

and one other i cant remember

#

oh i used stained glass on another one that came out cool looking

jovial moss
mental glade
#

woah that looks cool!

glacial path
#

yup! Now it's more balanced 😃

jovial moss
#

Thanks @glacial path , I see what you mean now 🙂

glacial path
#

@undone sapphire Hey! Inverting the colors, but only on the suit - that's super creative! The only problem is, the suit is now very saturated and bright. IMO it's fighting for my attention and distracts the eye from the face and text. So either you could add some POP to the face and text or you could tone down the suit (which I wouldn't do, because I like the flashy colors)

#

Thanks! Got any suggestions?

weary steeple
#

If you're trying to make the text stand out more, why not try to add a drop shadow or stroke to your text?

glacial path
#

@abstract crag heya! Thank you for sending your work 😃 - I like the thin font and you did a great job with that comic book effect! Maybe you can move the "Fish & Stars" text slightly more up. currently it feels a bit too close to your (?) hair.

lone hare
#

lol for some reason discord is not letting me upload my image. Says im saying something explicit.

abstract crag
#

Ye I saw it later and moved it a bit higher

glacial path
#

@abstract crag and the white lights at the top feel somewhat out of place. I guess the light is leaking through the leaves?

abstract crag
#

@glacial path yep those are leaks through leaves i felt the top part was pretty empty and wanted to give it some texture

#

got any other idea?

glacial path
#

hm. I think you should connect the bottom image with the light at the top. then it could work. How about something like this ?

#

you would have to play around with blending modes

#

@obtuse haven yes, IMO the "another Font" is a bit too close to the right edge

obtuse haven
#

Thanks!
