Here are my day 8 double exposure challenges. I kept trying to do my own thing, but it just works best with the starter file images. I played with them a lot, so I learned! Thanks for the challenge!

Challenge 9. I found doing the pattern seriously difficult. Also, it appears that warping blurs the crisp look of the pattern. Did I do something wrong? This T-Shirt took me forever. Thanks for the opportunity to learn this technique!

Challenge 9 Re-Do. In my previous attempt, I forgot to make my Pattern layer a Smart Object. Oops. Once I did that, the blurriness went away. Plus it was much easier to Warp! Yeah!

Finished challenge five! I really enjoyed using camera raw on this image. I love how crisp and clear you can make an image. I used the vignette slightly around the corners because I like the effect it has on an image.

Redo of Challenge 7, light added to face, arm and hip and some blue to hair from the moon.
@hidden pendant Much better, Trish. Only thing I can say now is that the palm of her right hand needs light from the flame as well, and that the lighting on her face doesn't conform to the lines of her face. Did you do an oval selection and fill with a gradient and set to burn or something like that? Sorry if I am sounding pompous, not my intent.

Falling a little behind here. Only on Challenge 6. This one was a little hard to follow. Had to go back and watch segments of the video multiple times. I struggled with getting the different segments - mouth, nose, and eyes, to blend with the background image. I understand @lethal mural had to rush because he was running out of time. This led to a few mistakes that were confusing. Maybe try not spending as much time with the intro/welcome. You were already 7 minutes into the video before you started the actual lesson.

@true holly ha! i love the old panel truck. very clever idea for your cover image.
@worn yew that's EPIC! 1 note: for a thumbnail, the text may be too small to read,
@wise crypt very cool! I think the text has so much nice texture that you might even tone down the gradient of the background a little bit. Right now, the background and the text compete for attention a bit
@plain sable nice! what's the story with the turtle? 🙂 The turtle and the smaller text (esp "10th") become a little hard to read because of the darker values of the background behind them.

#

@winter tinsel nice job lightening the BG behind the words without making it too obvious. The texture is really nice, too! 1 note: the dates at the bottom blend into the BG just a little bit

@mighty linden Pattern is looking solid for Challenge 9! Nicely done.
@raven condor Ooh, very cool, this is a photo you took? Really interested to see this applied to a shirt design, the colors of the trees around the top work really well I think. Really nice work!

#

@unkempt field Pattern is looking good! Nice work on the masking as well. If you wanted to push it further I think it would really help to get those shadow and lighting effects onto the design to sell the effect and make it look a little less flat. Nice job!

#

@sullen hollow Very nice work! The pattern as well as the lighting is looking really good and makes the whole thing look really natural. I like how the design has a bit of variation between big and small shapes. Gives the whole thing a nice balance!

#

@mighty linden Ooh, nice job, you went all out with these different elements! Really liking the background and extra flames. I have one suggestion which is quite minor, but I think increasing the contrast in the face (specifically deepening the darks) would help strengthen it as a focal point. Right now the deep darks of the shorts almost seem to overpower the contrast of the face a bit. Shifting those two elements might draw the eye up into the face a bit more, just a thought. Really nice work with everything!

#

@bitter cradle Ooh, I like how you combined the design with a background that seems to fit it stylistically. My only thought is that the value and color of the design seems very similar to the background, though I think the blur definitely helps! Perhaps making it darker, or even separating the color temperature could help a bit? Just a thought, really cool pattern!

#

@modern halo Looking good Willi! I really like how well this design stands out from the simplicity of the blurred background. It really lets the pattern shine, nice job!

#

@young karma Ooh, very cool! Kind of looks like he has some sort of icey power or something, makes me think of Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat, hah. If you wanted to push that feeling it could be a nice touch to put a cooling photo filter adjustment layer over the image or even use something like a screen layer to cast a blueish glow on the areas of his body near the flames. Just some ideas. Really great effect!

#

@alpine nexus You did a great job with the Day 6 challenge! These can definitely be tricky but all these blends look really natural! I really like how the eyes, mouth, and shape of the jaw all kind of make a triangular shape. Really nice work!

#

@young karma Really nice work on the magazine cover and shirt pattern challenge! The pattern is looking really solid and the lighting and folds from the image come through great. Really makes the shirt design look believable! Nicely done :D
I like the smoke effect on the fire challenge too! Though it could help to mask it off a little around the torso and face to keep that contrast from being washed out since you loose a bit of the deeper darks in those key areas.

#

@uncut grove Very nice! The shirt pattern is looking really nice! I definitely think the more of these you do the better you get at it all. Really liking the color scheme on this design! The lighting on the pattern is looking pretty solid too, though I think the shadows in the folds on the right side might be a bit too dark. They look a little unnaturally dark for how a blue shirt would look in that lighting I think. Nice work with this!

#

@gilded blaze Very cool Krissy! I think it’s always great practice to use techniques learned in challenges to create a personal piece. If you’re going for a logo I think it might help to make the tripod under the camera a bit more thick and graphic like the rest of the camera to fit stylistically with the rest of the image and also read a bit more strongly at a glance. Looks good!

#

@young karma Yeah, it’a really great to see how versatile the pattern feature is for coming up with some really unique designs. this design is looking really cool! Almost kind of has hints of a floral pattern or tie dye look at the same time, hah. Works really well on that background too!

#

@silver crest Challenge 8 is looking really nice! The double exposure and color contrast is working well. Looks good!

#

@bitter cradle The double exposure challenge is looking good! I really like the blend between these two images, it gives it a sort of dream-like quality. The warm color in her face is a nice touch of contrast too. The only thing is I feel like the contrast between the shapes and the white background could be a bit stronger. A lot of the images around the edges are really light so I feel like the read of the whole thing isn’t as strong as it could be. Same with the text I think, the contrast isn’t quite as much as it could be which makes it hard to read at a glance. I think some levels adjustments to increase the contrast and tweaking of that sort of thing could help you separate the values a bit. Perhaps even lightening the bottom a touch with a gradient and darkening the text could do the same thing. Just some ideas! Looks great!

#

@silver crest Ooh, very cool, I’m liking the effects on challenge 7! The red cast of the whole image is looking really solid to tie the lighting together. I do feel like the flames look a little unnatural since they seem like they’ve been tweaked to almost just be the red and yellow solid colors without a lot of the in between gradients. It might help to overlay another flame image that has flames that look a bit more realistic. I don’t think you need to get rid of the current ones because they look pretty cool, but adding in a certain amount of another image might help blend them together a bit to give it a slightly less stylized look if that makes sense. I like the spark effects too, nice job!

#

@woven patrol Really nice work combining these different elements together for challenge 6! I think the blending is looking really solid, the only thing I’d say would maybe be to darken the nose area and lighten the mouth area just a touch. They look like they have slightly different lighting and those tweaks might bring them together with the rest of the face a bit more. Really nicely done!

#

@quaint badger Really nice job with the dog image! Masking off fuzzy edges like that can be really tricky, and the shadow and lighting is working really well! If anything I think the top left area of the shadow could be softened up a bit, the edge looks kind of crisp, I think if you faded it off just a bit in that area it would look pretty natural. Nice work with this one!

#

@fringe mirage Challenge 6 is looking good! These elements seem to find together quite seamlessly. I think the main technique for that challenge gets a ton of the job done, but after that I think it’s the usual techniques you see in retouching and general compositing adjustments to really touch up anything else that may not quite be perfect. But this turned out really nice!

#

@spiral apex Ooh, this pattern is looking really good, I like the contrast between the bigger shapes and bright vs dark colors. Really nice working it onto the photo and getting the lighting down too, looks very natural!

@crystal aurora Help. I can't seem to get PS to resolve the monster whatever font. I got one layer to do it - manually but no matter how many times I choose the font from the drop down list, it tells me it is going to substitute. I hope you will explain how to use the Adobe fonts because i have a mess. I also have TONS of Japanese ones I can't get rid of but when I go to "my fonts" it doesn't show I have any - let alone any Japanese ones. So lost. This is why I only buy and use my own. I don't get Adobe fonts.

#

Ok, NOW it says it is in the right font. I really don't get this. I must be missing something because this was extremely difficult and took a lot of time.

#

@young karma @alpine nexus to get the challenge starter file go up to the top on the left where it says announcements/read only. Then go to creative-challenge. For some reason with the last one and this one they are not posting the link until 8am. With @agile ruin the link was posted hours in advance. I really don't like getting it so late.

Hi folks - complete newbie to all of this. Trying today's challenge (voodoo valley) but the montserrat font can't be resolved. Any advice?

jaunty jewel
#

I must have done something wrong back in the grouping part because the paint bucket tool at the end would not work. I had to create a new fill layer and color the text that way. And I still had white around a few of the objects so I couldn't put a background in. I think these challenges may be too fast and advanced for me...took me forever how to figure out how to highlight existing text without creating a new layer, and that the ALT key doesn't exist on a Mac keyboard! I had to keep stopping the video and google how to do the steps because they were passed over too quickly for me. So I had better find a more basic class. Thanks anyway for letting me try the challenge.

I might try your suggestions as well to see if I can make the graffiti one work better. On the book cover I was having some trouble with it being too light and not having enough contrast. I would like to play around with it more to see if I can figure out how to make it pop.

@long olive Very cool! Replaying and pausing after each step can definitely help you catch everything. This cover image looks really nice! Darkening down the blue for the “Photoshop” text and making the black text a dark blue color might help unify the style of the whole thing a bit more. Just a thought. Nice work!

@sonic bobcat That’s great, welcome on in! Glad you could join us for these challenges. This is looking really nice, I love how you repeated the colors from the background image in the text, really gives it a nice cohesive look!

@lavish whale Liking this sort of pastel earthy color palette! It seems to fit the theme nicely. Nice use of texture on this too. The text contrasts nicely against the background, good job!

#

@shut trout Loving the style to this challenge! Really great colors and textures in this whole thing. My only suggestion is that I think the text seems like a very similar value to the background they’re on. The center text seems like it could possibly be brightened or something a bit more to separate it from the background a bit further, and perhaps the “challenge” text could be darkened. They have some hue contrast but separating the values a bit more might really help it pop. Just a thought, well done!

#

@fierce umbra Hah, sometimes it’s easy to spend all day just playing with different options and designs. I like the styling of this whole image! The texture adds a really nice element to the whole thing. Nice work!

#

@visual basin Awesome, welcome in! Glad you joined us for this challenge, these challenges are definitely a great way to pick up different techniques, tips, and tricks. You got a really interesting effect going on with the background and the stroke around the text really helps it stand out. Kind of feels like it could be a record cover or something. Nice work 😄

#

@hollow ridge Nice job, I like the color palette of this image, the colors all work quite nicely together. The sense of perspective on the text adds an interesting element as well. The aged looking texture really helps that farm theme too, looking good!

#

@bitter cradle Very nice! It always helps when you have a general idea in your head about the look you’re trying to accomplish. I feel like the background and graphic elements both have a really similar value and all the contrast is coming from the color difference. Maybe making the graphic elements darker to stand out against a lighter background might help the whole thing pop? But it might just depend on what you’re shooting for. Nicely done!

#

@tired bone Ooh, really loving the background gradient on this design! The colors are really giving the whole thing a bright upbeat feeling. Really nice compositional balance of graphic elements and color scheme in this design, looking good!

#

@polar heath Awesome work, the aged wood board background was a great choice for this theme. I really love the heavy texture on the graphic elements too. The background blues also give the whole design a nice warm/cool contrast. Welcome in by the way, glad you joined us!

#

@flat nymph Really nice, I don’t think I’ve seen any challenges using a photo background yet. This fits the design nicely! The contrast between the graphic text and sun and photo background gives it a really nice feel. Nice work on this design, and if you’re new to these challenges and community welcome in!

#

@heady stirrup Very nice, I’m looking forward to seeing challenges that take on this game theme. Really cool textures in this one! I feel like the contrast between the background and text isn’t quite as strong as it could be. I think the texture seems to fade the contrast out a bit in certain areas of the text, but I feel like shifting the background towards a different hue (maybe a bit warmer a little more towards the blue-green range) might help these element contrast more and pop the text out nicely. Though that just depends on the look you’re shooting for. Nice work!

#

@split wing Very cool, I like the sort of classic look of this design! The house and text style seem to fit nicely together. Nice use of overlapping shapes and elements within this too. I like what you did with blending the house into the trees, but it could be a really cool effect to find a tree image to bring into this design, select it so you get a clean silhouette and selection of the tree, and use that selection/shape to mask out the area of the house on the bottom left for a more natural tree type of shape and effect, if that makes sense. This looks good!

@long olive I really enjoy the gradient colors you chose for the background as well as your shapes, the only suggestion would be to use a different font. Papyrus just feels dated and your design feels more modern. Instead maybe try a really nice sans serif font like Filson Soft or another simular font. I really think the nice clean line work of this font would really complement your outlines on your design. I hope this helps 🙂

@bleak fossil Here is what my Challenge 1 looks like with more details and more on the path I was working towards. I wanted it to have depth and chose suttle colors to give it a calming relaxing feel.

📎 Challenge_1-_Layers.jpg
#

I'm hoping this reads better and that the colors work well together. I was having some trouble picking the background color. I tried yellows because it worked better with purple but then I got a sickly vibe instead of healthy green veggies. I don't know if the purples work or not for a farm but was hoping I could go outside of the norm a little. Just not sure if it works...

Finally finished challenge #7. This was a lot of fun and I learned quite a few interesting techniques. Thanks again to @fierce valley . Being hard of hearing, it is sometimes hard to understand some things that are said very quickly. I have to re-play the video many times to figure things out. It would be easier if fewer keyboard shortcuts were used so the selections would be more visible.

BTW, near the end of the session I noticed there's a visible line between a lighter/darker area on the ceiling above his head. How could I go back into the project to smooth that out?

@young karma very cool! I agree with another commenter, I like how you chose something a bit more theoretical for your edits. I think peaceful is my fav.
@pale grail cool - you went the monochrome route! The increased highlights really help to add more depth to the foliage & you brought the details out in the sky nicely as well.
@river bison it's awesome to see the original photo and the finished design! I know the camera is your watermark/logo but it IS distracting me a bit from the delicious lobster.. 🙂
@sudden dock sweet! those diagonal field lines really do wonders to move the eye around the design. I think just the top half of the logo works by itself, too (the sky, buildings and words without the field lines)
@icy dew nice! Is it purple-y in honor of Val? 🙂 The darkness you added to the sky helps the logo and info stand out in the top design
In the vegetable basket design, you did a nice job of using the empty space on the left of the photo to add your copy. Props!
@chrome current The addition of snow really gets the point across! I wonder if you could lighten and desaturate the grass that the llama (alpaca?) is standing on to make it look like snow?
@vestal sky very bold! It was a smart move to increase the saturation on the reds/pinks to match the logo. Looks super cohesive.
@open hound nice job with the composition here. All of the elements in the background photo feel well-placed. Keep it up!
@old barn very nice options! do you have a favorite? I think the soft warm in the middle works well for this challenge. It still has life, but it isn't artificial :)
@novel sleet cool! is this made in PS or AI? I'd like to know more about your process here

@elder ridge nice job combining day 1 and 2! I think the M&K Emporium is so nice and bold. The circular text gets lost in the background.. I wonder if you could add some weight to it so it's visible from further away?
@soft valve nice! How did you create the texture on those organic shapes? super cool!
@hollow needle this design is really clean and well composed. great job!
@void hornet awesome! I love seeing you take this challenge in a different direction. Did you build it in AI? There's also an AI challenge going on right now if you want to join that one too! (if you havent already 😉 )
@true holly yay, process work! The sky in the final piece looks so different from the original. nice job
@open hound for your challenge 2 piece, loooving the pink vibes.
@valid gazelle Nicely done!!! Thanks for posting your work. The color palette definitely fits the theme. Keep up the great work and keep playing!
@sacred field interesting! your edit totally gives the photo a different vibe, esp. because of the desaturated sky and sunset (or sunrise?).
@vernal nacelle thanks for posting! its great to see your process work. I think that the photo is already super dark, so maybe you could play with a lighter logo layered on the dark field? LMK what you think.
@tight ember ah, the edit here is so subtle and nice. Gives me pastel film vibes! Nice job
@modest inlet It's great to see your original photography! The blue sky against the orange in the trees is a great combination.
@rocky venture I think the white stroke around the logo was a super smart choice here since the imagery is somewhat dark. Nice!
@valid gazelle for your day 2 challenge: the texture in your logo is great!
@dapper tapir nice! the winter is so believable.. how did you achieve the misty feeling and the snow?

@raw brook no worries on following the challenge exactly. feel free to get creative with it! The neon green and black is a super strong color combo - it feels very EXTREME SPORTS to me!
@empty quartz thanks for posting your day 1 piece! keep it up!
@mighty relic cool! the gold and magenta is a cool color combo. I notice that the gold is a similar value to the pink.. so when you squint, they blend together a little bit. I would recommend either going lighter in value with the words or darkening the background (while keeping it saturated 🙂 )
@oak comet you're not late at all! just in time. you're right that InDesign is definitely the more practical application for laying out extensive text, but you did a great job in PS as well!
@alpine nexus Very cool! I love the friendly stencil-y font. This feels like it could be the logo for a farming video game for sure!
@young karma cool! I'd love to know more about this logo and what "scrub nurse" is all about
@tacit mirage your edit/composite is super nice! it feels surreal but realistic.
@soft valve nice job with your challenge 2. keep it up!
@fervent violet I think the texture you achieved with the logo meshes well with the nostalgic feel of the b&w image.
@oak comet for day 2 - the richness of the warm tones is much more evident in the edit! nice. however, the sky looks really green - you might try using a layer mask to bring back the original blue (unless you prefer the green sky!)
@safe mauve cool! Your photo edit is subtle and soft. I think it matches well with the color palette of your logo (which is very cute!)
@compact pecan even if you're not feeling too creative, i appreciate that you posted your work anyways! the logo and BG photo definitely match in terms of tint and value. good job!

@compact flume thanks for posting your work! The produce illustrations you made along with the truck are super cute! keep it up.
@tropic haven Ha! I know what you mean about the stubborn tools of Photoshop. You're doing great so far! I think the white stroke around your logo helps it stand off of such a saturated background. Perhaps you could trying going with a lighter color for the words in the bottom right as well?
@gusty hearth Farm.. beach.. either way! I'll take it! I like the abstract shapes you've used in your logo - do the shapes under the words represent waves?
@night dew nice edit! I think the logo starts to get a liiiiitttle bit lost since it's semi transparent. Perhaps you could try bringing it slightly closer to white?
@heady stirrup cool! I think the top option has the best legibility. The text of the logo is dark enough to read on the blue background.
@unreal adder i think both options are beautiful but the bottom option definitely has a more rustic feel!

@mossy urchin I really like yours! It reminds me of the game 'Don't Starve Together'. I suggest checking adobe fonts for other font types that you might feel better represents your work.

Hi Mander，I saved the image on my phone, and find it becomes blank. Is there anyway I can download to computer? Maybe it changed format when the file saved to my photo album.

#

Don’t know if there’s a discord app for the computer. I’ve been using my phone, but do the PS work on my computer, I had to send pics through my massagers, not sure if just me or there’s a better way.

#

Learning software is one thing, add to creative work is another, but you need know both tools and how, I wish I have learned some basics before 😩

@tropic haven It’d probably be much easier for you to use the Discord app. You can also run Discord directly through a browser, but I personally prefer the app on my computer. Makes sharing work super fast and easy.

Challenge Day 2: Farm in Winter, Lettuce in Summer. No Lightroom, I managed in Photoshop, the effects aren't quite as crisp. The farm theme reminded me of a summer visit to my grandparents in the country in 2015...feels like a lifetime ago these days, but fun going through old photos from the trip.

@mighty relic Nice, these effects really transformed the image! Makes the setting look completely different and gives it a nice mood and lighting. Nice work 👍

#

@restive mountain Awesome, glad to have you join us! These challenges are great because the techniques often build on each other really well. These graphics are reading really well on the photo background!

#

@stuck pulsar Hah, welcome in! I like the style of this one. Almost gives me a slight 90s vibe. Nice use of paper texture too! Gives it a sort of cut out feel.

#

@lavish solar This is looking really nice Karla! I like the consistent soft contrast of the tones and colors. Gives it a really calming feel while still reading very clearly. Welcome in to the challenges!

#

@arctic rover Looking good Jude! This is just personal preference, but the black and red almost looks a bit spooky, I feel like another color from the photo (maybe the green from the melon?) might be more fitting for that upbeat farm/outdoor feel. Nice work 😄

#

@polar heath Great contrast between these two designs for challenge 2! Big fan of the warm sunny one, looks good! The cooler image is really nice too, though I almost get a sort of creepy vibe from it, I think it might be due to the lighting and muted colors. If you’re going for that winter feel cooling it down even further could possibly help, maybe a cooling photo filter or something. Nice work on these!

#

@placid topaz Really love that text design with the flowers and texture! I feel like maybe the light area behind the text could be brightened a bit? The whole center area looks like it could use a bit of a levels adjustment to boost up the contrast overall and make it pop a bit more. Just a thought, really nice design!

#

@vernal ice Very nice, so this is your own photo? Always cool to see people incorporating their own photos into these challenges! I like the color contrast in this, but I think the lettuce lost a bit of it’s contrast in the adjustment. I think boosting the darks could help a bit. Even darkening down the background area, or a vignette, or something to allow that light text to contrast a bit more against the background. Just a few ideas. Great work 😄

#

@lost tangle Great photo, I really like the added warmth on this one! It's a simple change but changes the mood of the image a good amount. Looks good!

#

@restive wyvern Nice design, I like the style of the text! Currently the whole design almost looks like it’s completely denatured, I wonder if it might look nice to put a cooling photo filter over the background to give it a blue tint, it might allow that white text at the bottom contrast a bit more clearly if there’s a bit more of a color contrast. Thought that just depends on the look you’re going for. Nice job!

#

@sullen hollow Challenge 2 Looks good Ashi, the color shift adds some nice warmth and still looks nice and natural!

#

@alpine nexus I like the adjusted colors! The cooler tones of the ground do seem to give it a more calm feel, and the pink in the clouds looks nice. The red text seems a bit intense but I get that it matches your logo... I wonder if white text with a red stroke could look nice but give it a more relaxed feeling overall? It might also help to make the text a bit bigger and separate it into more than one line to be a bit stronger of a message. Nice work!

#

@raven condor Hah, you went all out for sure, the masking of these objects is looking really solid! It does get a little busy with all the different elements, but one thing to keep in mind for the future is shooting for a visual hierarchy. Where you essentially have a primary read (aka focal point) that is typically the biggest and has the most contrast, and then a secondary and tertiary read which each have less contrast than the last to give the eye a definitive place to go in terms of what it looks at first. Just a good design principle to think about. Nice job!

@dreamy tangle I like the edits you made. It makes it seem like the sun is really beaming. Like a bright and sunny day. The only thing I would suggest is changing the color of your logo because you can't really see it at first. I would change it to a darker color. And if you wanted the effect of the logo not looking like it is taking over the photo, you could always lower the opacity of it to make it look a little see-through while still being able to see it

@dry marsh I love them all the the winter one particularly is really good. The only thing I would do is maybe get a texture on the water to cut down on the reflection, a frozen pond wouldn't reflect that clearly, but other than that its the best one I have seen that makes it look like there is actual snow everywhere, kudos!

Challenge 2 - The before and after...had to scale the before one right down to show the edited version but you get the idea...all these challenges are new to me, so lots to practice with...first time in lightroom too..i enjoyed it. This photo was taken in the winter and so I wanted to warm the photo up. It could still be winter with added warmth or i can see it as autumn early evening but i also think it has an old time feel as if it has a lot of history and stories to tell which i love. I kept the big sky as for me it captures atmosphere and energy...

@young karma nice edits! 4 seasons 🙂
@chrome current looks awesome! esp. the snow right under the animal. The shadows on the mountains (where the snow is) feel a little grey - I wonder if a levels adjustment might help?
@light nebula Nice balance of logo and secondary text!
@young karma woah, these edits REALLY seem like different seasons. nice job bringing out the oranges!
@wraith tartan awesome! super funky and i really enjoy the second color palette.
@rose salmon Ooh that RED is awesome! Love the composition and the placement of the BG image
@sturdy vault looks nice! the green of the logo and the green of the tractor mix together a bit. Perhaps if the text green was a little darker?

#

@echo bridge cool illustration! I think part of the issue where the waterfall meets the water is the water direction. what if you add some more of those vertical line down further into the horizontal water?

#

@hollow needle - super cool - what kind of image did you use for the water?
@blazing quail ha! is that cow about to be sucked up via tracter beam? the effect is a little hard to see, but i like the idea 😆
