@ancient lance as @coral stone already told you apparently , sorry

@coral stone @ancient lance I don't think so,. A few months back I had to fix the same problem, but I don't remember too well, but I fixed it under prefernces - performances aso

[gilded pelican]

Challenge Day 4, it is not a sunny day, but there is the sun 😂 in it.

Here is the material I used

[glacial path]

@gilded pelican great idea 😄 I like the sun in the background and the mountains look epic. I think you could darken the mountains a bit. There probably wouldn't be enough light anyway 🙂

[unborn spindle]

Day 3 - Before

Day 3 - After

[glacial path]

@glad flame this looks awesome! The shadow of the astronaut looks realistic (maybe a bit too long - the mountains are way taller and they have a shorter shadow). I like the use of the pink and cyan color scheme and the objects blend in nicely. well done! If you look closely you can see a subtle transition here. Below the red line, the image is noisy and above the line, it isn't. Did you transform the sky?

to be fair, I don't think anyone would notice this unless they were looking for it

to fix it, you can add a layer of grain to the upper part of the image. here is how: https://www.behance.net/gallery/78746469/Photoshop-Protip-Realistic-Grain-in-Camera-Raw

@unborn spindle Yes! I think you're almost there with the color grading. You can probably go even further and take out some of the green. Like this

to achieve this effect, you can use a curves filter and pull down the red & green channel

[glad flame]

@glacial path damn! I just realized that in the end I forgot to blend it 😅...
Thanks for letting me know!
And yes, you’re right about the shadow, it is too long.. 🙂
Thank you so much!🙏

Today's challenge I'm hoping my spotty participation will be tolerated,

[blissful wolf]

Day 5 - Never worked with 3D....

[glacial path]

@obsidian venture I love the abstract work and I really like the sparks you've added 🙂

@grave meteor heya, sorry! I already try to review as many submissions as possible - but you guys are way too active 😄 Even with the help of the very cool Val and super busy Sam, we can barely cover half of all submissions. But I can promise you, we try to review more and more submissions

@tulip fern I think I would increase the size of the glow a bit 🙂 The 3d materials looks awesome and the shadows are great too 🙂 Well done

@viral ibex Ooooh! You're the first one (from the ones I've seen so far) to create an animation! Well done 😄 Maybe you can Let me know what the idea behind this cube in the corner is. If it is the sun, you could add a glow around the cube to simulate the light

[nova swan]

my PC keeps crashing, don't think I have the required firepower for this challenge

[glacial path]

@fallow bough 45 minutes 😮 Whaaaa?

also, did you expand the image? there are some weird artifacts here and there

[fallow bough]

The artifacts are from the original image and content aware fill. Here's the original. Should have done more clean up.

I duplicated the sphere layer to do some additional effects so having it twice probably had much to do with my 45 minute render time. Only having 16 GB RAM doesn't help much either.

[glacial path]

@errant knoll Wow! I love the tiger and the giant moon in the middle of the shot. The sky looks great and so do the mountains

I have some suggestions for you

[fallow bough]

Background cleaned up

[glacial path]

The moon in the middle looks a bit too neutral, so I have added some blue. The shadow should also be on the lower right to make look more consistent. I have increased the glow of the tiger and toned down some of his shadows towards a blue-ish teal color. Finally I have darkened the rocks in the foreground to match the overall brightness

you can probably do a better job than I can since you have the original file 😄

tag me, if you have any questions

@fallow bough fantastic! The 3d sphere looks great and the blending is seamless. Good job 😄

[errant knoll]

@glacial path I had a problem with the shadow of the moon, thanks to you, so it seems more natural now

[glacial path]

@blissful wolf I have selected the tiger and pushed it to a new layer. then I have added a Layer Style

@willow nebula ha, I know how it can feel when you just keep tinkering with the settings 😄 The image looks a bit blurry, so you should probably tweak the focus until the object is in focus 🙂

[willow nebula]

@glacial path It's just awful, I am not able to stop! You're right about the focus, I blurred the backgroudn and the object too (a bit less too

@glacial path though, I thought it would be better haha

[glacial path]

@spark wharf ha, I wouldn't say it is creepy but the texture of the doughnuts is certainly... uh... unique 😄 But I must say that you did a great job arranging the 3d objects and the colors look great too.

@viral lava aah, I really want a pizza right now 😄 I would just give the objects a bit more space so they're not partly cut off by the edge of the image

[tulip crow]

Oouuff, this one was definitely the hardest one for me so far 🙈
I know this somehow turned out cool, but only because I found this fantastic stock photo by Touann Gatouillat Vergos and I at least managed adding the ball, but I really have no understanding of how to control those 3D objects and I'm quite convinced I won't go back to that Photoshop function anytime soon 👺 I'd need an entire workshop for that 😂

Not what I planned at all, but photoshop had trouble with 3d so had to go basic. Not really my day, struggled to get perspective on kid, possibly due to camera angles, so had to drop his right foot of the canvas.

My first Adobe Live Photoshop challenge submitting on discord #design-feedback 😼

[young karma]

nice reflections

[bleak fossil]

@candid chasm Hah, very cute, I love it. Fantastic work on all the masking here. Really nice compositing overall. Is the orange ball the 3D object in this scene? The only thing that stands out is it looks like the shadow could be a bit deeper/darker on the ball. And that there’s a few points with a really hard edge that I notice on second glance, perhaps if a soft round brush was used for these areas everything might blend a bit more? Really nice work Meer!

@smoky comet Love the lighting in this image, super cool. I think one of the keys to making 3D objects (or any) match the scene would be matching that warm rim light everything is getting. Here’s a quick example using a color dodge layer. Very subtle effect, but I think it helps. Great work!

@edgy idol Cool to see you using a previous challenge for Day 6, I really like your use of this thin font, it fits the image extremely well. Great job on the masking and cast shadow as well, adds a nice dimension to the image. Great work!

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to SamPetersonArt

[bleak fossil]

@plain sable Love the organic landscape contrast with the geometric cube. Yeah, I agree, I think the cube could be a bit brighter to better fit the scene. I think a simple Levels adjustment layer masked only to the cube should do the trick. Something like this maybe

@young karma Very cool, a striking photo with text that compliments it nicely! Great colors in this, the photo along with the text style/color makes me picture this being a spread in a magazine. Very nicely done 😄

@zealous island Really cool! Some really nice convincing shadow over the landscape under the clouds. It's definitely interesting to see how people incorporate 3D, I had never really seen much about it in Photoshop before this challenge. The only thing that looks a little off to me is how bright the clouds are above the hillside. I imagine clouds at that level in that environment might be a bit darker overall, even on the top side. Just a thought, hard to put my finger on it. Great work on this effect!

[edgy idol]

oooo @bleak fossil how did you make that gif -like animation showing the brightening of the cube?

@young karma thanks, I will have to explore that, it looks really cool

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to Yazeed

[bleak fossil]

@edgy idol I opened the image in Photoshop, made a couple adjustment layers until I liked the effect, then pressed ctrl+alt+shift+E (to create a new layer with everything merged). I then deleted all the adjustment layers so I only have the original image, and the final merged layer. Then I go to Windows-Timeline. Then down at the timeline I click "create frame animation". Then on the right top of the timeline I click the icon with the 4 lines and click "Make frames from layers". Then I go to the frames on the lower left and set the time below the icon to 1.5 second each. At that point it's all done and I export it by going to File-Export-Save for web. Then I just make sure my colors are set to 256 and everything else looks good and I save it.

So basically it makes a frame for each layer you have. In my case I just want the "before" and "after" image for comparisons sake.

[edgy idol]

@bleak fossil Oo, thank you for the details. That's super helpful. 🙂

[crude lichen]

day 6

[cold cedar]

PsDCC5 Working with Text. Added the moon and stars to Mount Kilimanjaro. Do the song lyrics read well enough on the image?

Decided to mask the stars from the clouds and the mountain and bump up the opacity on "quest". Is it better this way?

[jolly quest]

@devout crystal Woah Nice challenge 6! excellent colors and nice vibe! I think the only thing that sticks out to me and something that could be improved is the airplane next to the S. The birds look awesome, the background is great and the text is wonderful but I feel like that airplane is more of a distraction that an asset. Maybe try a second version where you remove it? Just a suggestion!

@fallow bough The sand outlined text does look cool but I think I like the blue text better! also goes well with the piece as it relates to the sky colors

@zenith warren You succeeded1 TOTALLY looks like the text is cut out of the leaf. If you want to try something else, I'd love to see you do the exact same thing but zoom into the leaf more! if the leaf is larger within the frame, then you can cut the text out at a larger size and it can be read easier when the image preview is smaller! Well done!

[fallow bough]

@jolly quest Thanks. I agree. Playing with another layout for the DCC part.

@full shard EPIC poster! I love the sleekness of the font you chose to go with those nice, clean, thin lines you use in the design. The light leaks and the camera lens dust effects are so cool. Very well done!

@flat laurel NICE! Love the motion and movement in your poster! that distortion effect is awesome. I also love that its not directly in the middle too! What font did you use for the rainbow "INNOCENT" text? I'm loving those lines! Great job!

@narrow mauve Nice! That photo is great and the soft gradient on the text is cool! I would love to see another version where the text is higher on the photo and then you mimic the text reflection like how the tree is reflected in the water! Could be fun to try!

@kindred kernel Nice 3D work! I would love to see you try and edit that shadow slightly on the "ABSTRACT" font. I think the piece would look more believable if the shadow was off to the left to match the shadow direction on the mountains. great job!

@narrow mauve Loving your second entry too! I wish I could see the text a little bit better, however. Maybe experiment with either setting the text to 100% opacity OR try adding a layer filled with a darker color between the background image layer and the text layer, and set that filled layer to a lower opacity. That will make the background slightly darker and the text will pop!

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to SamPetersonArt

[jolly quest]

@honest gorge This SUMMER piece is awesome! really sets a mood! I notice the bottom of the text disappears due to the image used in the text. I think if this was not intentional, you could darken the bottom portions of the letters so they show up against the sky better. OR If you like how the letters disappear, I say make it more obvious! Add a bit of blur around that line where water meets horizon in the text image and give it a nice smooth fade!

@kindred kernel Very cool Gerard, nice work! The whole image seems a tad dark, maybe a subtle levels adjustment layer might help give the image a bit more brightness and contrast? Also, since the base of the sphere seems to be closer to use than the base of the text, it could be cool to mask the sphere in front of the "T". Just some thoughts. It's looking good, really like that text shadow!

@candid chasm So cool! Really great use of this challenge. The text looks like dark reflective metal or something. And the shadow, since it's still getting light onto it's surface makes it look like dark paint on the pavement. Awesome textures and compositing overall, fits into the scene extremely well. Love it 👍

@chrome hollow Very cool on the Hurricane image. I like the masking work you did with the text and the trees! The font is a nice choice for this image as well. Looks good!

@brave mesa Looking good! It's really cool to see how much matching the lighting direction of an object can make it fit into the scene. Love the rabbits too, hah. One thing I think could make them match a little bit more would be to soften up the shadows on the had just a bit. There seems to be a bit of diffused lighting in this scene where the shadows are lighter due to all the bounced light everywhere, and the hat's shadow look a little dark to match. Maybe something like this? (fairly subtle, and I don't think it translated in the gif as much, but hopefully it shows what I mean)

@magic hedge Nice work Natali, is this painting something you did yourself or is this just an asset you’re using? Either way nice work, the red text gives the text some nice visual attention. The drop shadows adds some nice contrast as well :D
@chrome hollow The 3D challenge image turned out great! Really nice idea for the reflection in the bubble. I love how you lightened up the contrast to give the image a really soft and gentle feel. If I had to make any suggestion it would be to maybe brighten up the bubble a bit so it looks more reflective and bright like the other bubbles. Especially in the brightest are with the specular highlight.

@latent wraith Hah, you did a great job with this! The drawn elements look really good. The whole thing has a really cool illustrative element to it now with a nice balance, very nicely done!

@errant knoll Love it! Great colors and shapes in here. I think it might be good to color pick the dark grey/black in the bottom right corner and use that for the drop text effect instead of black. Since the dark colors of the images aren’t quite as dark as the backing of the text it might unify them a touch more. Or it could even be cool to see some color in there... maybe a mixture between the dark purple in the clouds and the dark grey of the silhouettes. Not sure which could look better but it might be a nice change. Looking good!

@uncut eagle I like how calm / clean your text on image is (not sure how to express it the right way, hope you understand ;). One thing that I would experiment with is how it would look if the letters would only show the stripes. The images are not lined up with eachother now so, there is no explicit link there. Maybe it would be even more 'calm' if you are not trying to look for the eyes, legs etc. but just know there are zebra stripes. Just a thought. I do like the text on image a lot as it is!

[honest gorge]

@chrome hollow Thanks 😊

[glacial path]

@tiny geyser what a great sky 😄 I'm always down for colorful skies! I believe you could add some of those colors to the bright parts of the foreground, just to simulate a reflection of the green light in the snow

@uncut eagle I love the way how you scaled up the image inside the text to help it stand out from the background. The text is nice & legible and the drop shadow adds some punch to the text. I think you could slightly increase the spacing between the letters: the C and the A are touching

[uncut eagle]

@chrome hollow thanks!
@tulip fern Thanks for the feedback. I agree with your comment that it's a little 'uncalm' with the legs and ground etc in the picture. I've opened the file again and made each letter its own mask.

I think I want to add a bright moon to my photo for this challenge. Or maybe start over..

[bleak fossil]

Hah, I was just typing something similar Nicole.s

@zenith warren This is great! Love the vast feeling of the water and the sky. I think you could easily give this a really cool sci-fi feeling by adding a large planet in the sky in the background, and putting a few key neon points of light in the city where you want some focus to go. Nice work, I’ll keep an eye out for a new one tonight!

@timber violet Looking good! Great Sci-fi feeling. I like the various elements you included as well. I like how you have some size variation going on but I feel like maybe you could push that even further. Varying the size and location (foreground, middle ground, background) of the object. For example, maybe one of the little towers could be moved more in the foreground and a bit bigger in size so get some nice shape variety and a good way to lead the eye from the front to the back. Very cool image 😄

@half musk This is awesome, starter file or not, you definitely nailed the prompt of the challenge. The neon lights and color of the whole image work really well. The warm lights are a really nice balance to all the cool colors as well. How many different assets were used for this image? I’d be curious to see the original images and how it all came together. Great work!

[glacial path]

@zenith warren Haha, nice! You can't go overboard with Photoshop! The reflection in the water is a bit too bright IMO. You would expect it to be darker at night 🙂

I think you could also distort the reflection of the planet and the stars - they're a bit too clear right now. Check out this (pretty old but still relevant) tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIq8WGkAygA

@chrome hollow Wow! I'm very impressed with the glowing orb you've added! Especially where it is touching the snow 👍 . The only thing which looks a bit weird is the bright spot on the right. I think you could darken down the snow slightly 🙂

the tiny glowing embers in the middle of the orb are a great touch! you could add some of them to the blue trail. just some sparkles here and there

@zenith warren the glow around the city could also be more blue-ish 🙂 I think it would work nicely with the colder sky and the blue water

@pale lichen Great photos! Those rock formations are just perfect for compositing work! I think you could make them a bit darker for the night version

for reference, I have used a curves adjustment layer and masked out the rocks using the quick select tool

Then I pulled down the red & green channel

for the day shot I've made the rocks brighter (via the same technique)

@wide cave that looks EPIC! Just remove the fringe around the mountains and you're good! (via Layer -> Matting -> Defringe...)

@wide cave and maybe you can find a version of the sky with a higher resolution- the stars look a bit blurry 🙂

@tulip fern This looks wild! I wish the tree would be the focus of the scene (aka more in the center). But I understand this isn't really possible because of the source image. 🙂 I love the experimental (?) color variations, especially the neon green. But did you darken down the stars? Some of them look like they're slightly darker

@fallow bough yees! The distortion looks great 😄 But the sky is rather low-resolution. Luckily that's an easy thing to fix 🙂

[edgy idol]

@candid chasm that is so awesome looking!

[bleak fossil]

@cold cedar Ooh, digging the almost retro sci-fi feel of this color palette. Very cool! Two minor suggestions I think could help. I’d move the elephants up to they aren’t cropped off the foreground and we can see their feet, and maybe make them a bit larger as well. I also think lowering the contrast (specifically lightening the deep darks) on the planet on the middle right of the image might help it look further away and add more depth.

@blazing quail This has a really cool feeling! Not sure why... but I feel like it almost makes me think of Stranger Things. Love the multicolored cube. This is a small suggestion, and probably just comes from my love of playing with atmospheric perspective, but I think it could be cool to lighten up the deep black of the shadow in the tree behind the cube at the end of the road. Keeping those deep darks closer to the foreground often helps add a nice sense of depth and allows the focal point to be more dominant.

@forest aspen These are great! Day 5: Love the texture and how you got the sphere to show below the surface of the water, super cool. I kind of wonder if having the light source coming from above might look more natural due to the outdoor setting?
Day 6: Really like the whole style of this. Perhaps darkening down the ground area a bit (with a multiply layer or levels adjustment) and/or lightening up the text might help it read a bit more clearly at a glance? Great work on both of these!

[cold cedar]

@bleak fossil Thanks! I will definitely give that a shot tomorrow.

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to SamPetersonArt

[bleak fossil]

@nimble geyser Very nicely done Tamara! Really love what you did with the masking of the text. I feel like the overall image including the text and bird could be a bit brighter, and even possibly a touch more saturated if you want to push that colorful rainforest vibe. It might also be a good look to scale the bird up a touch to make it a stronger focal point. Good stuff, love the message.

@viral ibex Nice work Dee! Really liking the otherworldly vibe of this image. Is That shape in the background a planet off in the distance? If so, it might help to lighten the deep black lines, that often helps things look further off in the distance when they have lighter contrast. I also feel like the planet, astronaut, and text all as a similar size and visual weight. It might help to scale something up to get a stronger visual hierarchy and make use of all the empty space. Perhaps the text could be scaled up towards the left a bit to balance out the visual elements of the planet and astronaut on the right? Good job on this!

@glad flame Always great to see what you’re working on. Love the color contrast in this, gives it a really cool feeling. Also loving that half circle graphic element. Great surreal feeling to the whole thing, awesome work!
@topaz raven Super cool idea! Really digging that strong color contrast, makes for a very powerful focal point. Love the whole mysterious feel of the image too. Well done!

@young karmaologranger#0478 Love it, great job with the Day 3 challenge! You definitely transformed the image. Looks otherworldly and has a great dream-like feeling to the whole thing. Really nice job on the glow and values. Awesome to see how much you transformed the original image.

@edgy idol Really cool to see this piece change and evolve with different challenges! Really liking the glowy universe sphere and how you sunk it into the ground. I wonder if lightening up the silhouette far back, either the mountains or the land behind them towards the horizon to a slightly lighter grey might help add a little bit of depth and atmospheric perspective. Just a touch lighter so it’s still a really dark grey that reads as a silhouette, but not quite as dark as the values in the foreground. Just an idea, really nice work with these!

@fast moth Wow, nice work with this. The whole red color scheme gives it a really intense feeling. I love the fiery planet on the right side. I think from a thumbnail perspective it could help to do a masked levels adjustment layer to slightly bring up the brights of the planet and building in the center to balance the contrast of the planet on the right a little bit more. Looking good!
@tribal gate This is great! I really like how you balanced the illustrated elements through the piece, gives the two different styles a nice balance and unity. Really great source image too. I think when you darkened the image down you made it a bit cooler, but I feel like you could push that night feeling even more if you cooled it down even more towards blue (maybe with a simple cooling photo filter) and it might make the light coming through the trees look like strong moonlight. Really cool work!

@kindred kernel Ooh, very cool Gerard! Right now the planet in the background is extremely visually dominant, both due to color and value. It might help to make a levels adjustment on the foreground to lighten it up and increase the darks, and lower the darks of the background planet. Might help balance them out more and make the planet seem a little more distant. Nice job 😄

@green pecan I like this, it’s looking good! Really liking those neon strips on the building. I think overall the image could use a little more punch to it in terms of values and colors. I think using something like a color dodge layer to brighten up the focal point of the building and neon lights, and perhaps adding in a hint of a colorful galaxy sky could be really cool. Might also push that Sci-Fi feeling a bit more. Also, compositionally I think it might be better to not have the moon in the very corner of the image. Maybe something like this?

@honest gorge This is great! Really cool how you combined the two different outfits together. Also great to see the breakdown of the image in general. Nice work! Might be cool to add a little bit of glow on the ground from the lightning? Maybe something like this? (I just used a quick color dodge layer)

Oh right... I'm much better with the night haha... But here is my Challenge #8 😄

[gilded pelican]

@fallow bough love your beach with sphere, it is wonderful!

[kindred kernel]

Challenge 8 😀

[glacial path]

@kindred kernel great use of the Kyle Webster Spatter brushes! The shadows look pretty real - maybe you can darken the big shadow of the pink ball 🙂 To make them look even more real, use a dark blue instead of the black for the shadow. If you look at the real shadows, they're slightly sky-colored 👍

@candid chasm wow! that's certainly a difficult composite with all the lights and shadows you've got going on. I think you should add some shadows to ground the objects 🙂

for example, when two walls meet, they produce a shadow at the corner

(ambient occlusion)

you can use this effect to add realism to the walls.

you can apply the same effect to the cloud she's sitting on. Maybe you can also add a bit more oomph to the light that's falling into the scene. The sky looks pretty bright (some clouds are even overexposed) and this should also be the case with the emitted light

the whole composition could look like this. I have also increased the color temperature and added a touch of vibrance

Finally, I would crop in by quite a bit. The girl and the plane are the main focus of the scene 🙂

you would probably reduce the intensity of the shadow under the cloud

@autumn vapor Nicely done! The shadows look wonderful and the 3d objects do blend in nicely. I like the overall color scheme! Did you add a lens flare?

@young karma yeees! the lights add so much! I think you could also try adding a spin blur to the wheels to make them look like they're actually spinning 😄

[young karma]

@glacial path This cool idea! Thanks 😀

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to evil

[glacial path]

@thorn geyser yeah, you're absolutely right! I don't think you need the dropshadow around the letters. I think you can also slightly decrease the spacing between the letters to improve the legibility 🙂

maybe you can also play around with the anti-aliasing of the font

this would reduce those pixelated edges

[candid chasm]

I tried my best haha... @glacial path

[glacial path]

try using the Burn tool to darken the edges here. you can use a soft small brush to darken the area and an even smaller one for the details. (click once and while holding shift, click on another position to draw a straight line)

@candid chasm your version already looks better 😄

[candid chasm]

but it should be just in that side right?

i mean, cuz in the other side is to bright ...

[glacial path]

yup

@candid chasm a touch of light would probably look even better

the light wouldn't only illuminate the wall anyway

@glossy dove I love the vibrant green colors in combination with the clean white text! Did you use any special color settings to save the image? The blacks are pretty much pure black without any detail in them.

@glossy dove by the way, when sharing your work, try to work with a canvas that's at least 1200px by 700px 🙂

[candid chasm]

This is the hardest thing that I did until now haha

[glacial path]

@fallow bough boy, you do like your spheres, huh 😄 The shadows around the spheres work beautifully with the geometry of the spheres

https://giphy.com/gifs/studiosoriginals-domitille-collardey-l41Yh1olOKd1Tgbw4 @candid chasm

[candid chasm]

hahaha thanks :3

[glacial path]

@thorn geyser wow! add some glowing things and you'll win me over instantly. This is just a personal preference, but even if you have a night scene, you should still expose it properly - you can have highlights even during the night. So I would boost the brightness and the glow around the lights, especially where the lights are touching the ground 🙂

something like this

The glow is probably a bit too strong but that's just down to personal preference 🙂

[coral stone]

@glacial path That Sharp trick with the text haunted me a lot in the past. Before knowing about it, I tried to reinstall my PS for many times without knowing what was going on with my text 😂

Day 8 - Unify an Image Day

[hidden pendant]

This is my day 7, thought all was going well playing more with 3d (moon) until I tried to render the object and ps kept crashing. I then tried to apply a Colour adjustment layer to the layer with Eiffel Tower and ps applied to all even though it was pinned to the layer. Therefore, another challenge not quite how I want it.

[empty siren]

@hidden pendant Nice attempt. Your description says it all that how you want the image to look like 🙂

[glossy dove]

@glacial path
Hi Tim,
Really appreciate the feedback. I added a little exposure to the image and I did add lighting effects to the work. I kept it darker at the bottom so that the text is visible. But I want it to look more realistic and send the message that is being conveyed.
Can you give me a few suggestions to understand how can I make to image more realistic and yet send the message?

Also,
Why is it important to use 1200px x 700px while sharing the work? I just want to understand it for my knowledge.

But really thanks for feedback.

[bleak fossil]

@atomic turtle Really cool symmetry and perspective going on in this scene for Challenge 6! It gives it some great depth. I wonder if perhaps the text could be done in a way that stands out a bit more? It’s fairly light and not as clear as it could be at a glance, but at the same time it has some weird tangent issues with the edge of the building. I think darkening it down might make the tangents worse. Maybe make it a bit smaller and keep it higher up? I was going to suggest maybe making it horizontal but I do like how it mirrors the perspective of the other elements. Really great work with this and how you faded the figures back in space!
@tacit condor Really great job on this! The value and color shift gives it a really convincing look like it’s at night and there’s moonlight casting the shadow. Very nice. It looks like the ball is glowing around the outside, but has light and shadow on it’s surface. If it’s meant to be emitting light it might help to give it a little glow overall in the center area to sell that effect, maybe a slight effect with a soft brush and color dodge layer? Just a thought, looking good!

@edgy idol Very nice! I think if you wanted to push it further maybe do the same to the horizon silhouette in between the center and right mountain in the background? Might balance it out a touch. Very subtle changes, but it might help. Nice work :D
@atomic turtle Wow, this is a really cool effect for Challenge 5! Very nicely done. The clean geometric white pillars contrasted with the organic landscape works really well in this one. Really nice depth as well with the background pillars. I also love what you did with breaking up mountains between the background and pillars. Great great overall soft color palette and contrast to this too, great job!

@arctic crystal Oooh, love the narrative in this one. The cube and the glow around it look awesome, and the figure is a great touch that gives it a lot of interest. It’s a bit of a nitpick, but I think having the glow spread a little further, and reveal just a tiny bit more of the landscape might help, so that a little less of the image is entirely black. Either way, it’s looking great!

@smoky comet Ooh, cool idea! Very mysterious, makes me think of some kind of UFO activity in the countryside, hah. I think it could help to scale up the 3D elements overall to fill the frame a touch more, and maybe even give the whole thing a bit more glow via a masked Levels adjustment, or a color dodge layer. Could be cool If some of the flowers down below it were catching that glow too.
@stray stirrup Wow, this turned out great! Great concept and execution on this image. Love the warm-cool contrast in the piece, works really well, and is nicely balanced between the sky and the skin tones too. My only suggestion is I think that maybe a slightly levels adjustment might help? Just something to boost the lights a touch, and maybe even the darks to give the image a little more overall contrast. Really well done!

[arctic crystal]

Thanks for Feedback @bleak fossil 😁

[nimble shard]

[bleak fossil]

@ruby panther Really cool image! Perhaps the beams of light could continue and fade off gradually rather than cut off completely at a certain point. If you’re going to have that light on the horizon, it might be cool to extend a faint warm glow across the entire horizon as if the sunset is just barely still visible. Good work Shawn :D
@pale lichen The “Time” image is looking really nice! Perhaps it could look good to have the texture a little more consistent across the text, and I think staggering the left rocks, text, and right rocks so they’re at different distances might help add some nice depth, even if it’s just subtle. Like, perhaps the left rock is the furthest back, the Text is the closest, and the right rocks are in between in terms of distance. Just an idea! Really loving the texture in this image.

@pale lichen You got some really cool stuff going on here, I’m liking that green tint to everything. I think the issue you might be having is a lack of visual hierarchy. Usually you want a pretty clear 1-2-3 read in terms of contrast. That can be size, value contrast, color contrast, etc. I think the easiest way here would be to get your strongest value contrast to be the pyramid with the glowing electricity around it. This way there’s a much more clear way the eye should move around the image. Here’s an edited example. Nice work Darius!

@wet thistle Really cool idea Carry, nicely done! I think the explosion might work a bit more if you had some pieces and fragments breaking off, or maybe even if just some of the inner part of the explosion was a bit softer and more cloudy, like these two images. It also might help to get a little size variation between the background planets to add a sense of depth. Maybe a little color variation too to draw the eye? Here’s an example. Just some thoughts,well done!

@errant knoll This is looking awesome, love that sky, super cool. Looks like a mix between a starry, galaxy filled night sky, and a fiery atmosphere. I think the main issue I seem to see is a compositional one. The shapes as they’re aligned now basically lead the eye right off the page in a very linear/horizontal way. Perhaps giving the shapes a bit more of an curved read through the piece might help? Here’s a general idea of what I mean. Either way, great work!

@young karma Great idea! That’s a really cool take on this challenge. I think overall the image is a bit dark. I think adding a bit more of a blue tint to the whole thing could help too. It could use a little more light to direct the eye to the focal point, and perhaps even a little glow of color in some of the windows could be cool. It also might help to not make the focus of the image (the fire) so close to the edge of the frame and balance out the color and contrast. I thought I’d play with the image to better show you what I mean. Hope this helps. Looking good!

Once I'm happy with an image I usually move on and never look for different possibilities. So despite having learned a lot, I am ready to move on to a new theme. 😂

[spark wharf]

My Day 7. I would really like some feedback on this. Something is off.

[coral stone]

@spark wharf I think there's a lot of elements competing for attention. Right now the man (that can be the main element) is darker than the other elements while the motorcycle, the sphere and the lightning are way brighter than him. One wat to solve this is to choose which element you want the viewer to see first and then create some balance among them. You can do it with lights and colors. Since you have the street you can use the "lines" of the ground and the buildings to help you 😄

Challenge 9 with Original and two changes. My fav is the bottom, which was reduced clarity, I felt it really softened the mood.
