@neon oracle Really nice work on this image! I think you did a very nice job of masking. The deep saturated red to a more neutral yellow seems like a big challenge and it looks like you nailed it. I like how it makes the red of the lips jump out as well. Nice, clean edits
@sturdy flare Nice job with all these Kandy! Can definitely be a challenge fitting so so many images together. My only nitpick really would be to try and get a harder edge on the globes. The edges look a bit fuzzy. I’m not sure what the original image looks like but some of the selection tools should be able to get a clean selection on the hard crisp edge of the globe, unless the lighting fades off deeply. In that case making the edge a bit more crisp manually should help. It might also help to get a bit of a wider/subtle shadow below them on the plate since they would likely be casting a wider shadow than some of the other objects. Nice work with this challenge!

@gilded pelican Shadow really helps, very nice edit! Looks a lot more grounded now. I think you could even lighten the shadow, and soften the edges evvvver so slightly to make them a bit more natural. They’re pretty solid as is so I don’t think much of a change is needed, just a thought if you wanted to try and push it even further. Looking good!

@lunar bay I like it! I think the edit definitely adds some depth and focus to the center, but I think a slight depth of field blur and a multiply layer for the gradient instead oh a lighter haze might look a bit more natural. Really nice improvement though, really helps break up the uniformity of the background.

@fast moth Very nice, this gives the image a super strong temperature contrast which is interesting. The thing about this image is that all the colors are so cool in temperature because of the environment. I think if he was really wearing a bright orange uniform it might look a little different due to the cool lighting and environment. I’d try applying a cooling Photo Filter adjustment over the orange and see if that make the orange colors look more natural in a cool environment. It might also help to deepen down some of the shadow/darks in the gloves. Just some thoughts, nice work Camilo!

@autumn vapor Hah, very cool. Nice idea for Challenge 6. I think the purple effect looks really good, though I wonder if toning down the saturation eeeeever so slightly might make it look more natural. Or at least in the areas (like the center region) where it’s a little more silver looking than brass. Really nice work on this one!

@coral stone Ahh, clever solution to a potential selection nightmare. Nicely done. Really nice convincing work. I like how you changed the color of the color reflection on the skin as well. My only nitpick might be to tone down the effect on the skin just a touch so it's a bit more subtle. Well done!

@nova swan Yeah, this is a really helpful challenge for sure. Anytime you’re changing value along with color it can get tricky, but it looks like you nailed this one. Really convincing color change, looks really nice. I think the darker tones could be increased ever so slightly, but that’s more of a nitpick than anything. Looks solid!

@dusty pond Looking good! I like how you changed the color on the hat as well. My only suggestion would be to increase the dark tones a little on the grey backpack. The shadows look a little too light and washed out compared to the rest of the image. Nice work!

[sturdy flare]

Thanks a lot for the feedback @bleak fossil ! I'll go back and fine tune that layer mask once I catch up on the daily challenges 😊 By the way, you're definitely ahead of all of us on the creative karma lol, thanks for helping all of us so much!

@young karma Love the warm tones! I think the shadows could be a bit darker to match the other shadows in the picture. You can just use a curves adjustment layer in combination with a mask to reduce the brightness of the shadows. 🙂

@errant knoll I almost can't tell which is the original helmet color! (love the detail with the finger nails by the way 😉 )

The only detail which could possibly give it away is the color spill here. But that's easy to fix with a hue/saturation adjustment layer and a mask 🙂

[pale lichen]

I found this nice panorama that I made when visiting Santorini 🙂 and I sliced it

[glacial path]

@tacit condor Yes! The changed colors look really convincing 😄 The green looks the best because you can see more of the rusty texture. I think you could crop in a bit to direct all the attention to the car

@ruby panther Great job and flawless execution! This gives the image a super strong temperature contrast which certainly is interesting 🙂 I think you could also warm up those rivets here. They still reflect the cold gray from the original shoes

@pale lichen Great shot! You could probably get away with a slightly more saturated sky - just to add some punch to the desaturated blue 🙂

@pale lichen check out this post https://discordapp.com/channels/547473772727238676/562325745024892958/565169897785786398 - of course you can tone down the effect until it looks more natural

Don't know why but my updated version keeps getting blocked with the message: "Woah there! The owner of Adobe Photoshop has requested that Discord block any messages our mostly-accurate robo-hamsters deem to be explicit. Seems like you found one, so your message has not been sent. Please be nice." Happens even if I just post file with the name 2.jpg and no text.

VHS was never as sharp as the file I posted so I added blur and decreased clarity. Not sure how first one came through but the further distressed one is blocked.

[bleak fossil]

@fallow bough Hah, I love the image and the information behind it. Very cool to be able to apply the challenge in a nostalgic way like this. I can’t say I remember a time before VHS. Great job on this image and nice balance between the color shifts and static effects. Looks great.
@junior needle Very nice, really liking the color shift effect and text you added. I think a little bit of desaturation and maybe even some slight static lines could really add to the retro effect. Nice work!

@fringe thicket Nice work on this one Chocolita! The color shift and horizontal lines definitely give it a nice feel.
@onyx mortar Looking good Kristine! I really think the more washed out effect helps a ton in getting that older VHS feel. The texture and horizontal lines are a really nice subtle touch too. Nice work!

@olive cosmos Looking good Marcin! The masking looks clean and the color changes are convincing. Nice work!

@trail field Ooh, really cool effect. I think if you wanted to push the retro effect having a more subtle shift/separation in the colors might sell it better (so the colors don’t extend out as far) but I think the effect you got on this one is pretty interesting in its own right. Nice work on this!

@tacit condor Nice work EMx! The effects are looking really solid and work well together. Great choice of text as well. I feel like maybe the overall image quality could be downsized to add to that aged VHS look since this image looks so crisp and high resolution. But that’s more a personal taste thing. Nice work!

@honest gorge Ooh, nice subject matter for this challenge. I really like the sort of neon colors on the car. Works as an aged VHS effect but also adds to that 80s/90s flair. Looking good!
@blazing quail Nice work Ant! The color shift is looking solid. I wonder if making the sort of horizontal line texture a bit more prominent might help. It also might help to either desaturate the image slightly, or lessen the contrast so the darks aren’t quite as deep. Might help sell that aged look more. Well done!

@fast moth Looking good Camilo! The green definitely seems to fit in with that cold temperature lighting. I think it’s looking solid so this piece of advice is just for future reference or if you wanted to push this further, but I think a key component to recoloring images is to make sure there’s hue shifting going on between the light and shadowed areas. That’s why oftentimes just using a flat color over on an object on a color layer doesn’t always look the most natural. For example, in a warm lighting situation the lighter area is typically warmer, and less saturated, whereas the shadow might be a bit cooler temperature and slightly more saturated. In cool light it’s usually cooler highlights, warmer shadows. As long as you get a little of that hue and saturation variation the objects should look pretty natural. Just something to consider. Nice work on this, he fits in nicely, and the reflection is a great touch!

@keen granite Oooh, love this effect, especially on the image with all the TVs. I was going to suggest static lines, and/or possibly desaturation the colors a bit as well as lightening the darks of the image for a subtle more aged washed out look. I think that could still help push the retro feel, but something about the top image with the TVs seems to work well on it’s own as it is now with the more bold saturation and colors. Great work on these!
@thick vale WOW, love the effects on this and the direction you took it. You definitely transformed the image. Really liking the color choices too, really pushes that 80s/90s vibe. Great balance of shapes as well!

@wet thistle Nice work on Day 6! It fits in so well it took me a minute to realize what the change was even though it’s a large scale color change. Fits in very naturally. Great clean work on the masking too. I like how the blue color now makes the red gramophone really stand out. Nicely done!

@candid chasm Nice work on the Day 7 challenge of the steering wheel. I think the more subtle effect suits this image a bit better, since I think the warped effect is easily exaggerated by the roundness of the wheel. Very easy for it to look overly distorted. Since this is such a high quality image I wonder if lightening up the darks of the image to give it a slightly more washed out look would help push that aged feel. Looking good!

@upbeat dirge I like what you did with the colors on this one. I think the more muted tones really help push that aged feel. I think you could probably push it even further if you wanted to by lightening up the dark tones a touch to give it a slightly more washed out feel. I think just a bit of that would push that look. The grain is a nice touch too!

Day 8: 3D logo

[fallow bough]

@glacial path The reflection was created using the 3D tool so I was unable to apply ripple directly. Exported the 3D layer as PNG with transparency, brought back in as layer and applied ripple to reflection. Ocean and Glass ripples didn't work well so created Displacement Map with existing water ripple. Since reflection is now its own layer, was also able to add bit of perspective. Long process but result definitely worth the effort.

[bleak fossil]

@thick vale Wow, love the really stylized take on this challenge. The colors are great and I love how you focused the attention on the text graphics. Great style and really great work!
@honest gorge Very cool! Really nice work on this Carla! Nice work on matching the lighting and shadows. One suggestion I have would be to try and adjust the color of the shadows slightly so they match the shadow of the tree. The tree’s shadow is a little more purple and cooling down the shadow of the letters to match a bit more might set them in the scene even more. Well done!

@thorny sedge Very nice, I like this take on the challenge! I like how you’re mirroring the perspective of the buildings in your text. It could be cool to get a little of that reflection effect (even if just a little) to really situate the text in the environment and pick up some of the surrounding colors. This is also more of a possible nitpick, but I wonder if the perspective of the text would match the buildings better if we could see a little of the right side of the text for the “E” in The and “Y” in Sky. Just some thoughts. Nice work!

@sturdy vault Very nice, I’m definitely getting that retro vibe, especially with the colors of the scene. I think if you downscaled the resolution of the recording text so it’s not so crisp that might help add the aged effect to the whole thing and fit in with the rest of the image. Looks good!

@blazing quail I really like how it’s picking up the colors from the environment, nice work! The only thing that seems off is that area of the street seems to be completely in shadow. I think the front of the text seems to be working with that lighting, but the sides of the lettering seem to be in direct light which feels out of place. Maybe darkening those really bright areas down would help it sit in the scene better.

@silver trench Ooh, I like the dark moody feel of this one! The perspective and colors seem to match quite nicely. The only thing I’d suggest would be to maybe increase the contrast on the letters a bit. They seem like they could have slightly darker darks and lighter lights. A levels adjustment should make that an easy fix if you want to. It’s a fairly high contrast scene and environment so that might help it fit in more. Maybe also fainter cast shadows since there isn’t any really direct light out. Nice work!

@candid chasm Looking good Meer! The lighting and colors seems to fit well into the scene. Just from a general image standpoint I think maybe the text could be a bit bigger to be a stronger focal point, but that’s more of a nit pick. Nice job!
@junior needle Really great example how this effect can work extremely well for more simple graphic images! Very effective, really nice job with these designs.

@thorny sedge Day 7 and 8 are looking good! I think in Day 7 is could help to pixelate the recording text more to fit the rest of the image, and Day 8 it might be cool to see a bit more of a diagonal tilt on the text, with the end pointing up more. Might mimic the position of a surfboard while adding some more action with the diagonal line. Really nice job on these!
@unborn nimbus Really nice digital painting! Definitely helpful to be able to use techniques like this for quick changes for sure. Photoshop can make big changes while painting really quick and easy. Color change looks really solid!

@willow nebula Ah that’s too bad. I wonder if it’s an issue of Photoshop being more demanding of the graphics card with the 3D feature. I had an issue with that after a recent Windows update where I need to reinstall my graphics card drivers. Either way nice work, I like the depth you got with the letters. Definitely adds some nice interest.

@neon oracle Great effect with the Day 8 challenge! The transparent text suits the scene nicely. I wonder if the coloration of the shadows could be changed to something with a little more color? Maybe something with a cooler subtle blue/purple tint. Also there appears to be a little big of jagged edges going on in the text. Not sure if that’s an easy fix but that might help sell the whole effect better with cleaner edges.

@edgy idol Ooh, love that look with the snake. Purple is definitely a cool color for that. This effect is great because you could potentially go pretty wild with gradients and color combinations. Or just interesting two tone combinations like the original has between the back and body. Very cool!

@coral stone Great image, really liking how the text keeps the moodiness of the piece. One thing I notice is that the figure has some top lighting falling on his shoulders, it seems like the text is close enough it would be catching lighting on the top as well. Some light on the top of the letters might also give it a really cool mood and fit it into the scene even more. Great textures on the text.

@fallow bough Great reflections on this! Really matches the lighting and colors of the scene really well. Really liking that reflection too! I think you could even go a bit darker/more opaque on the shadow and reflections in the water. It seems like they would be a bit more dramatic in real life. Looks great!

@unkempt field Very cool! The text fits in the scene quite nicely, really liking those reflections. Looking at the chairs in the background, it seems like perhaps the lighting could be coming a little more from overhead so the shadows of the text aren’t quite as long and fall a little more directly underneath them. More of a nitpick than anything but just an idea. Nicely done!

@cold cedar Yeah, the 3D capabilities in Photoshop are super interesting with how you can integrate them into an image. Really liking the reflections, thought they seem a bit wild on the inner part of the text, not sure what is causing that. My only real suggestion would be to maybe try adding a little bit of grain and/or even a super super slight blur. Right now the 3D portion looks a little unnaturally clean and crips compared to the rest of the image. A little bit of grain or ever so slightly softer edge might mesh it with the rest of the image more. Though you’d want to be careful to not overdo it.
@vagrant sorrel Wow, great job with Challenges 6 and 8! The color changes look really clean and convincing and the 3D looks great. Nice job matching the lighting as well. I especially like the rustic letters, they fit into the scene very well.

[cold cedar]

@bleak fossil Thanks. The wild reflection actually comes from the building on the other side of the river. I will try adding some grain and blur. I am still playing with the 3D on other images and text. Here is one I just finished — for the moment.

360 Pano Well, it's not what I had hoped but here is what I got.

[bleak fossil]

@chrome glacier Nice job! I feel like the masking/cut out job looks great, the thing that might help is matching the lighting/colors a bit more. The room has a very dimly lit look to it where the object is. The orange wood looks a bit too warm/saturated as well as too bright to look like it fits in. And the back of the object could maybe be separated just a touch from the bench behind it. Maybe something like this?

@unborn nimbus Looking cool! I think this effect would be especially tricky on a drawing/painting but I think these effects do a nice job. Maybe desaturating the colors a touch would help add to it?

@edgy idol Very nice! This would be a cool one to see in 360 degrees especially for a group photo.
@fallow bough Yeah, you might be right there. I feel like I’d have to find a similar reference to really see what’s going on, hah. Though I think the deeper reflections really help set it in the scene more since the reflections from all the other structures are quite dark. Nice work 😄

@young karma Looking good, you really captured that old digital photo look. I like the color shift on the text as well, it’s a nice touch. Well done!

@young karma Nice work Evap! The text is looking really good. Maybe it would help if the X was picking up a little of that pink lighting/coloration in its reflection a bit? Might help set it in the scene that much more.

@edgy idol I think the purple of the snake is pretty cool as is, but if you wanted to go more two-tone you’d probably want to keep a single selection but work with a gradient or soft brush to sort of airbrush a second color if for the belly/top. It might require a little finesse to make sure you’re only affecting the parts you want though.

[bleak fossil]

@errant knoll Challenge #8 is looking great! Really love how you played with scale in that image, gives it a big impact. You did a great job making the “o” and “m” appear underwater but I think that effect could be applied more to the lower part of the “d” and the very bottom of the “e”. I think once you do that it’ll read a bit better. Nice work!

@wet thistle Really nice work, the masking looks great! Very nice job. Looks clean and the hair looks really solid too, which can definitely be tricky. My only suggestion would be to maybe use a levels adjustment to increase the brightness of the girl just a bit. It seems like that might help match her in with the other figure and the rest of the scene. Great job!
@unborn nimbus Ooh, really nicely done. The colors look great and you did an excellent job with the lighting to fit it in with the scene. My only suggestion would be to maybe increase the brightness of the “N” at the top just a bit so it reads a touch better. Great work, really nicely composited image!

@tacit condor Challenge 8 is looking good! I really like the boldness of the text. I wonder if the text could pick up a hint of color from the surrounding environment while still being red, might make it fit into the image some more. Just a thought, nice work!
@willow nebula Very cool! I was curious if someone was going to combine these two challenges. Very cool to see you can do both, nicely done!

@keen granite Really cool! Love the colors and overall calm/peaceful feeling. I think this particular image might be even better without the text shadow since the text seems to be floating in the air. Looks good!

@young karma Nice work! Working with 3D elements can definitely be tricky. I feel like perhaps the perspective of the cast shadow of the text could be adjusted? Maybe shorter shadows than lean a little more to the left? Might also help to not have the crop so close to the edge of the text, feels a slight bit cramped. Other than that it looks great, nicely done!

@dusk pike Ooh, cool take on this challenge. It’s neat to see someone try a different shape aside from text. My only suggestion would be to have the heart casting a shadow that matches the direction of the other shadows (like the trees) in the scene going to the left. Might sit it in the scene even more. Great reflections!

[wet thistle]

Thank you @bleak fossil for giving me feedback, I will go with your suggestion to increase the brightness of the girl.

[bleak fossil]

@tacit condor Looking good! Just for presentation purposes it might help to have the Before and After text smaller up in the corner so it doesn’t take away from the images. Nice work on the masking! It might help to use a mask to fade off the lightening adjustment you applied to the girl around the bottom, to mimic a little bit of shadow lower down while also brining more focus to her face. Nice work!

@dusk pike Very nice, much better! I’d recommend trying to cool down the shadow a bit to match it to the cooler subtle blue/purple tone we see in the other shadows in the scene. I’d also go ahead and mask out the shadow of the heart where it’s showing on the building to the left since it looks like the shadow would basically continue down the little pathway and not really hit the building. Changes are looking good!

[bleak fossil]

@young karma Very cool! I think if you wanted you could probably fade off the pink color just a touch as it moves to the right, but I definitely think those pink tones help set it in the scene more convincingly. Looks very nice!

[bleak fossil]

@dusk pike Or even if you could just isolate the 3D layer after you add it to the image, not editing the actual 3D setting, but after you have it as a normal layer selection just the shadow segment and doing a hue adjustment might be easiest. If that makes sense.

@edgy idol Hah, great work on this! The ground replacement looks really natural and the levels adjustments help a lot. The whole image has a nice vast/barren feel. Very nice.

@RomelMahmud#7178 Great work, edits are looking really clean and solid!
@potent mesa Hah, wonderful addition of the Heavens Cat watching from above. The edits are looking really clean too. I like the person walking, street light, and cat all towards the left side of the image, they add a nice visual balance towards that side of the image. Looks good!

@dusk pike Really nice, you did a great job on the car removal and it really helps the image too. Definitely focuses the image better. Edits looking really clean!

@blissful wolf This image is definitely a good one for this challenge. Your edits are looking really nice and clean and I really like the sky replacement. My only suggestion might be to tone down the saturation of the sky ever so slightly since it's such a strong color contrast to the rest of the image. Might make it a little less of am focal point. Looks good!

@serene spoke Well done! The edits are looking really nice and convincing. Great job with the item removal! Glad you're joining us for this DCC :D
@agile hawk Interesting take on this challenge! The edit is looking good, nice job on all the masking. I wonder if the wall could use a slight brightening up via a levels adjustment to better match the lighting of the original image? Hard to say, but a slight tweak might help. Really cool pattern too, nice work!

@crimson glacier Ooh, this seems like a tricky one due to the blurred background, but it looks like you nailed it. The replaced background seems to fit in nicely with the rest of the image. Nice job!
@pulsar walrus Nice job masking these out! It might help to use a multiply layer or something to darken down the bottom area of the horses ever so slightly to better help that bright yellow text to pop. Might help if there's a slightly darker background. Very cool image!

@acoustic bone Nice work, this looks like a tricky one! The background looks solid after the object removal. The umbrella addition and color adjustments work nicely as well!
@fast moth Nice work on this, the removal of the foreground shapes definitely add more visual weight to the architecture in the background. Puts more focus on that area which is nice. Looks great!

@young karma Really nice work with all these subtle changes! I like how many little things you removed and changed, definitely a good image for this challenge. All the changes look really convincing and clean, well done!
@lone hare Really cool use of the filters to make the figures look painted. The lighting looks really nice and cohesive too! Nice work on the masking. The only thing is the signature on the wall looks a bit bright to fit in that lighting, unless you were intending it to look more like a signature on the actual image rather than the wall within the image. Looks great!

@hearty wharf Nicely done! That image is a great challenge due to all the texture. It looks really good! If anything I think maybe brightening up that area slightly where the removal happened, and perhaps even applying a sharpening pass might help. Though that's nitpicking a bit, it looks quite convincing already!

So I have been wanting to go through my Travel Pics for ages now I have a better knowledge of PS, and remove all the tourists that get in the way, amongst other things. Ta Prohm Cambodia. Used this challenge to do so for 1. Bit hinky in the middle, but can always go back again.

[cold cedar]

Thanks @bleak fossil. It is so much easier to get comfortable with tools when you use them regularly and the challenges ensure we do. Learning is fun with the challenges because we can always go back to the videos. Having the work reviewed also gets us revved to keep trying.

thats a really cool dramatic interpretation :D i think it could be more realistic if you took note of the perspective of where the roads converged (vanishing point) and maybe clean up on the smudges of light, but could work as dappled light i guess haha

Nice @young karma you could also try inserting a new layer, fill it with black, then go to filter > render > flame and then remove the black by changing the blend mode to screen, it may work better, but just a suggestion as there is still a little bit of black showing on your current design. Nice job though!

[muted flare]

really digging these surreal compositions!

[acoustic bone]

This was a new theme for me... Started as a futuristic collage, but wasn't really surreal... Then i changed for this one

<@&548221569533476888> i would really appreciate your feedback and any comments because i'm not sure about this as surreal challenge

[muted flare]

could totally see a music video vibe with that one @acoustic bone :D

[young karma]

Had some fun with this one! All pictures are pictures I took and then i added some free cloud brushes and the mickey is a free- use font 🙂 Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

The Photos I "Cut up " to use in the collage

[bleak fossil]

@lament rapids Edits look great, nicely done! Have you seen any previous DCC on sky replacement? I know we’ve had some specifically on that subject. If you can’t find them let me know and I could probably locate one. Essentially it’s just masking out the sky with selection tools.
@torpid terrace Very cool, definitely a pretty crazy surreal feel to this image! I think that fading the hard lines between the top sky’s at the top to make them more of a gradient might look a bit more natural. Also on the desert sand at the bottom I think cropping it off on the right side to look more like a natural hill or slope rather than a straight line might help it fit a bit better. In general I think it’s usually better to have harder/sharper edges on things like the edges of the eyes. Just some thoughts. Really cool image!

@young karma Love the colors and contrasting directions of the images! It’s almost a little disorienting and definitely adds to the surreal feel of it all. One small suggestion would be to maybe add a bit of a gradient on a multiply layer to slightly darken her dress on the bottom side. It might add a little more sense of form and dimension to match the more realistic lighting of the rest of the image. Really neat idea on this one!
@crimson glacier Very cool! Really liking the color scheme of this image. Maybe softening up the edge of the clouds might give them a more natural wispy look and be a nice contrast to a lot of the other hard edges in the image. Really nice job!

@silver trench Looking good! The underwater effects looks great. Maybe add a slight shadow effect with a multiply layer on the sides of the island on the left? Currently that whole island looks really bright, and adding a little shadow on the sides might make it match the rest of the image a bit more and look like the light is coming more from above. Nice work!

@gentle sparrow Really cool idea Lee! I like the colors of the whole thing. Nice job!
@sturdy flare The day has come that the giant cats finally decide to take over! Really nice job, hah. Maybe a short cast shadow right under the cat via a multiply layer might help set it in the scene a bit more. Nice masking work!

@young karma Really cool idea, awesome to see you using your own work in this image! Good opportunity to use if for a challenge. This turned out great, love how you matched the feeling of the image to the original fashion oriented content. Compliments it nicely! Maybe a little bit more of a soft cast shadow on the floor under the plant between the two figures? Looks like it could be a magazine cover, nice work!
@young karma Ooh, love what you did with the texture on the eye ball, definitely gives it a really cool feel. Really nice job with the composition and size variation all around too. The whole thing has a nice balance to it. One suggestion might be to soften the edges of the fire slightly just fire tends to have a little fade to it in places. Though the hard edges almost make it look like glass or something which is kind of cool on its own. Looking good!

@wet thistle Really cool art! The edits you made look really good and natural as well! I like how you got rid of the red objects that draw a lot of focus, it could be cool to change the color of the hot pink jacket/stroller at the bottom to something more neutral to further keep the focus/contrast on the art.
@mental venture Very cool! Really digging the more muted tones, gives it a nice uniform vintage feel. Perhaps the orange desert in the back could be desaturated ever so slightly to further emphasize that feel? Nice balance to the shapes too!

[nova swan]

PDCC Surreal Collage challenge with Kladi. Thank you Kladi super fun!

[bleak fossil]

@spare sorrel Really cool image! I like what you did with the ring's salt shaker/snowy effect. Nice use of the eyes too, hah. Cool stuff!
@fierce rune Ooh, some interesting things going on in this image. I love the deer-astronaut, hah. It could be cool to flip the head of the deer to make the lighting direction match that of the astronaut suit. I like the hierarchy of shapes going on and the composition moves the eye through the piece nicely.

@cold cedar Definitely getting a cool collage feel from this. Nice use of the shapes and textures too! I feel like maybe the elements in the top right corner and the bottom left could use a levels adjustment to brighten them up and pull a bit more focus. Looking good!
@hasty coral Awesome image! Love the muted color palette and overall feel. Really great job on compositing the planets in the background with the clouds, looks very natural. Reminds me a little of the Beetlejuice movie and also Dark Crystal, hah. If I'm looking for something suggest it might be to lower the contrast just slightly on the trees in the background so they're a dark grey rather than full black. Might help add a little sense of depth. Very impressive work!

[young karma]

@bleak fossil , morning here in Denmark!
Thank you for all the nice words! much appreciated! I did work with shadows and light! This is great tip, and much needed! I am so fond of this challenge,.. 😛

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to SamPetersonArt

[bleak fossil]

@sturdy vault Hah, I like it! I think it could be cool to scale the figure up, and scale the trees down to really bring the focus on him. Might help to lower the contrast of the trees slightly too to really pull focus more towards the figure. Could also be cool to add a reflection of the man in the water like there is on the tree. Really fun image!
@honest gorge Hah, very cool collage. I like the meerkat guy with the sunglasses. I wonder if lowering the saturation of the red on the sunglasses might make it look a little more real by matching the meerkat lighting more? Love the background too, great colors!

@wanton meadow Edits are looking solid! Nice work Jason! I wonder if lightening up the sky slightly might match the sky to the rest of the image and keep a bit more focus on the painting? Just a thought, looking good!
@hearty wharf Challenge 2 is looking good! I definitely think it's easy to lose track of time when getting into these challenges, hah. I like the out of focus effect you got on some of the underwater elements further away, but since the pinecone looks somewhat closer than the wall perhaps it could be a little less blurry to be a bit closer to the focus of the sphere in the bottom left corner? Really liking the colors in this image!

[nova swan]

Cat was bugging me...better now?

[hasty coral]

@bleak fossil wow thank you very much. I love both Beetlejuice and the dark crystal. Best compliment ever. 😊 Something about the trees seemed off and had me stumped. I will definitely try a contrast adjustment. Thanks for the suggestion.

[bleak fossil]

@edgy idol Very cool! Really liking those shapes and the sense of depth you got. Nice work on the masking and compositing! Very clean work. Perhaps a subtle cast shadow on the ground under the tail would help make it even more convincing? Really nice work on this!

Working with channels was new to me, and challenging - but cool to see it work!

@jolly quest it was hard to decide how to work than hand into the piece so that the composition is interesting, but i felt it might be a nice detail... like "trying to push the separated face part back into place"... though the time was also really somehow mean! this one is definitelly tougher challenge then the last ones 😄

What can I say.. it wasn't easy,🙄 but it was fun...
😅 and Boy oh Boy did I work destructively. 👅 I think, i am a kind of person who really neeeeds to have the sketching phase, cause otherwise... I work AS IF my file is more or less like a real canvas... the moment I can merge - I merge. However, if I can plan my work then I work non-destructively... so I guess,... bottom line is... Kladi, girl... I WILL just follow ur directions from the last video to practise your awesome work flow, i am far away from that level of professionalism... otherwise - this is my result.

1000times Thanks

Here's my artistic selfie for Day 3 🙂

Oops, here's a little update of my selfie 😄

[wet thistle]

Day 3 - In progress.... I think I have to do something about the sunglasses, it is reflecting the meal I was eating...haha...Anyone has a suggestion how to solve this?

[deep mango]

@wet thistle maybe you could copy the flowers on the bottom, add a mask and tweak them a bit so they would look as if they are reflected in the sunglasses

[wet thistle]

Thank you @deep mango I will try that, and perhaps I can also blur the sunglasses a little bit

Gave +1 Creative Carma to animafan

[deep mango]

Yeah @wet thistle this could work as well 🙂 Looking forward to see it finished

[coral stone]

I'm a little late but here's my day 2 🙂

[keen pendant]

@radiant spindle Love it! Great work.

[mystic narwhal]

What a fun challenge!!! Symbolic of me growing and learning with Adobe Live! 🌱

[forest aspen]

Day 3 -- finally. Thanks for the flowers, Kladi!

[young karma]

Here's my day 3 effort.

Oh and the before pic! 😱

Selfie Day 3 Challenge with Kladi

[willow nebula]

Day 3 - Time to stop! I'm pretty sure nobody will regonise me out of my flower pot 😬

[mystic narwhal]

@hybrid yacht you did great! I am a beginner too and worked off and on for 4 hours on mine. We will be pros one day girl!!!

[nova swan]

@edgy idol love the selfie

[keen pendant]

@young karma Phenomenal work.

[cold cedar]

@bleak fossil Here is my update for Challenge 2 Surreal Collage. Since I had an image over everything I actually masked the eyeballs, ring and planets to brighten them. What do you think?

[agile ruin]

@edgy idol love the kitty 💙 great idea!

@nova swan very cool love the colors and the fact that you filled the middle section as well! The fact that you kept the neck made it even more surreal !! 👍

@young karma such a cute idea and I like the b&w take I was thinking to do the same as well so there is a great contrast with the flowers. try a grey background or maybe a white with a darker vignette to make it really pop! well done 👏

💙 💙 💙 💙 It's so nice to see everyone using their selfie!! You all are making my day!!! 💙 💙 💙 💙

@forest aspen love that you kept the color palette consistent! try a darker purple for the background to achieve more contrast ! Amazing stuff also sunflowers are my favesss 😍

@mystic narwhal so gorgeous you are making me proud girl!! keep up the work! flowless composition 💙

@fierce rune you are so very welcome! You did a great job and transformed it also in a very cool illustration! very cool! 😃

@wet thistle that's so fun!!! I would use one of the bright colour for both glasses and make it really hip and pop! simply trace the 4 lenses and use maybe a light pink and a yellow! it should be super cool. give me a shout if you edit it!

[sturdy flare]

A few days late - Here's my Day 1 submission! Any feedback?

Day 1 - Original Photo

[agile ruin]

As promised here my take on my selfie 🙂 and I have added the glasses so if you have glasses you can have a play with them also !!

@wet thistle hope my example makes more sense 🙂

Cool backdrop @young karma also I really like that you changed direction! amazing stuff 💙

[tender valve]

Hey everyone! I joined in a bit wait but going to catch up this weekend. This is challenge 1.

Large photo of my finished work. It was fun.

Challenge #3

[agile ruin]

@tender valve well done! love the way you have edited the windows reflection 💙 👏

[tender valve]

@agile ruin thanks! I tried quite a few tools before finding a solution that worked for me. Thanks for all the great instruction!

@keen pendant Nice work, this is collated together nicely. I think maybe making the skydivers arm on the left side fully opaque might fit a bit more. I think you could even take off the cast shadow on the text since it almost makes it look like the sky is a solid object or backdrop. Just a thought. Really nice work on transitioning the clouds with the rest of the image!
@kind walrus Cool take on this challenge! Nice collage of images. I think it looks good, though I think maybe increasing the size of the text on the right side to add a little size variety and add a little more visual weight to balance out the strong yellow contrast on the left. Nice job!

@high mesa Cool sense of perspective and nice color scheme to this one! Those yellows definitely add a strong visual pull. Nice work!
@normal raven Hah, I like the feel of this one. Some nice balance of shapes going on! It’s small suggestion, but I think maybe increasing the contrast (especially the shadows) of the two figures in the bottom right, and decreasing it on Godzilla a bit might help add a little more balance to the image, and even maybe some depth to make Godzilla look further back. But I think there’s definitely some charm as is with more of the collage feel over the “realistic” feel. Looking good!

@devout onyx Looking good! The edits look nice and clean. Very convincing, well done!

@snow narwhal Ooh, very cool! Love the eyeball guy. I think the main suggestion I’d make would be to darken down the tree a touch, color correct it (maybe a warming filter) to match the scene, and perhaps do a little more nuanced masking work to make the bottom have a more natural transition with roots or something more organic looking rather than a hard line. Nice work!
@magic rampart Very cool Jmada! Collage is looking good! I think having a slightly softer edge on the hobbit’s hair might make it look more natural. Hair and softer objects tend to have softer edges and that can really help sell it. Looking good!

@young karma This looks great! Really love how you handled tilting the right side and even added a shadow, gives it a cool dimension. I really like the graphic shapes the flowers create on the white background as well. My only suggestion would maybe be to have a sliiightly softer edge on the hair to make it look more natural. It’s easy to go overboard with this, so something pretty subtle. Really great work!

@tacit condor Really nice edits to the Day 1 challenge! They all look really clean and natural, well done!

@pulsar walrus Cool image for this challenge! I’d just say that the edges of the flowers and grapes could be a little more refined with the selections. I think the quick selection tool can do a great job of selecting full segments of flower petals and grapes for a more convincing edge. Maybe toning down the saturation of the background could help draw more focus and attention to the figures in the front. Good job!

@unreal crescent Nice job! Really nice work on the masking for this one. I like the slightly muted color scheme you have going with the face and flowers, maybe bringing down the saturation of the background slightly would unify the whole thing more? I like the background circles, gives it some nice interest. Looks good!
@crimson glacier Hah, nice work, I like the concept of this one. Really nice work on the masking as well! My only suggestion would be to use a levels adjustment to brighten up the face just a bit to match the lighting of the other objects. Solid work!

@young karma Day 3 is looking good, I like the flowers in the ear, hah. I like what you did with the background, but I wonder if toning down the saturation ever so slightly might help unify the image a bit more, since it’s a fairly strong saturation contrast as is. The masking is looking really good too!
@devout onyx Nice work! I think using a levels adjustment to brighten up the face might help make it a stronger focal point and match the lighting of the flowers a bit more. Looking good!

@hearty wharf Ooh, this is cool. I like the illustrated elements you added, it gives it a cool mix between a collage look and an illustrated look. The background color adds a nice element of color and contrast to the whole thing too!

@candid chasm Looking good Meer! I like the addition of the flower petals coming out from the center, gives it a sense of movement. I wonder if a levels adjustment on your photo to brighten it up a bit might help the overall values and help it pop as a focal point a bit more. Also, nice job on the masking work!
@torpid terrace Wow, great work on the masking! That looks like a lot of work with all those flowers. I wonder if using a multiply layer to add a slight shadow gradient to all those flowers starting from the bottom might help bring the value contrast and focus up near the eyes more. Currently the stems at the very bottom against the background are a really high point of contrast. That might tone it down a bit and bring the focus up. Really nice work!

[crimson glacier]

@bleak fossil 😬 I was trying to complete the challenge quickly for the review in the stream but couldn’t get it in time. So I rushed things. I’ll make the adjustments you suggested thanx for the feedback. 👍

[hearty wharf]

@bleak fossil thanks so much, sam - that was a fun challenge! and i got to re-use all the flowers i've pressed for the 'poster a day' challenge ...😃

Love to have feedback on my work

[worldly adder]

Just getting into the challenge! Here's challenge 1. When we upload to behance, should we make save the files for web? Make them smaller?

[young karma]

Thank you for the feedback @agile ruin I've re-worked the first version and tried the grey background and darker vignette as you suggested and I also added some vibrance on the flowers to make them really pop against the B&W.

@young karma Very cool! Great work.

Day 3

[young karma]

@bleak fossil Thank you, best is to read comments with tips where work could be improved - this is of the highest value. It totally agree, the hair looks a bit awkward. I could have soften the edge there, so that it blends into the background smoother. I will try it right away. I also need to refresh my skills on how to handle selection of fine hair from a more messy background.. ill check some tutorials on it before the todays challenge.

Hi, first time on this site and Behance also, how do upload the pictures? If i drag and drop on to Behance it opens in a new window but there is no confirmation it was uploaded.

[dusty blaze]

Here is my day one attempt not perfect but a good exercise for practice. I will try to catch up to the daily challenges.

[jovial moss]

Having a catch-up day. Here is my attempt at day 1

Thank you @agile ruin for your advise! I still think I could improve the image, perhaps I should have used a real model...haha😆

@candid chasm I want a feedback on challenge day 1 and day 2

Your feedback is too important 😉 for me

[candid chasm]

@coral stone here u have Asmaa work

@grave meteor I'm not a expert but from my perspective u did a great job.... I'd play a little more with the light and shadows and maybe a solid color in the top to mix everything together.

That's just something I'd do. And as I said I'm not the expert here... So lets wait to see what the moderate says 😊

@grave meteor I believe you got it 😀. Great job on your work, if you want to take it to the next level you can apply a global effect like Gradient Map or Color Lookup and play with some blend modes 😀
