Challenge 3: Geoff Weers in metal god pose. The bottom shape is the top of a hat. I filtered it with the background, but it seems out of place. Would it be better as a solid black? Or filtered solo to see if the hat textures can be pulled out?

This week has been filled with the Photoshop Virtual Summit conference. I've managed to do the challenges in the evening, but this is the first day I've had the time to post here. So, you'll see three at once 🙂 . This is day 1

@young karma I think the blackest elements are a bit too dark. E.G. his arm over the chair is lost. If you eased up on that aspect of the image, I think it would look better.

@wind trellis Up until a few weeks ago, when I did my 1st DCC, I had never really submitted my work to anyone or anywhere for critical review. Since joining DCC/Discord, I've been doing it daily. I've pretty much lost all the inhibitions I may have had about "my work's not good enough to be seen publicly." The support, encouragement, and advice I've received here has been truly energizing. I hope you experience the same feeling.

@nova swan I really like the dog. I don't care much for the hard line between the yellow and the teal. I know it is how that gradient works, but I would add a layer of paint above that line and add a bit of a gaussian blur to it to have it blend the two colors together to soften that edge. You could also just take a selection of the area where they come together and put it on another layer and try the auto blend or again a blur setting. Just an idea.

#

@limpid egret It looks like it is left over from cutting out something. If you used a mask, then go over that line area with black on the mask. If you didn't mask it out, you will have to find the layer that it is on and erase it. Turn off all layers and turn them back on one at a time to find the problem. The other way is to take your glow layer and bring to the top over the problem, then add a mask in black (if it is all white just hit control I to invert, or go to the properties tab and hit invert) now paint with white where that line is to cover it up. Hope that helps.

#

@pulsar walrus Very vintage vibe on the one with the trees and fog. I like it. I would probably add in some grunge edges but it looks really neat.

uncut grove
primal fulcrum
#

@autumn blaze Very cute idea with the dog. I like the colors. You might want to take a layer over the top and paint with the same yellow whee the white light is on the dog. Look at overlay but try different ones and turn down the opacity to give the white just a bit of the yellow color. Just an idea. 🙂

#

@north ruin looks really good. Super California vibe

#

@sand patrol The gradient map is super addicting LOL

#

@primal fulcrum I totally agree. I love to edit my photos to be more edgy.....then i get so carried away. lol

primal fulcrum
#

@vernal ice I really like this. That is a tough one on the hat. Maybe crop it shorter and then it would possibly be seen as a symbol or something? I think gray is the right color. How bout if you extended the black line near the his back and dropped that black area straight down. I don't know if that would help. Cropping so there isn't so much of it would likely be the best if you can do that.

#

Here's mine. I had a lot of fun with this. Took me forever to decide on which picture to play with. And then again playing with different gradients for the gradient map. Tons of layers in this with lots of masks. I brought her eyes back and the bright yellow teeth got to me, so I brought back some white there. I used gradient map, gradient fill, blend if, and posterize. Different from my usual style but I really like it. Probably limited commercial usage but lots of fun anyway.

I started trying to make something cool with the photo I used Yesterday, had a problem, made a mistake, and needing to start from scratch I decdided to go for another image. Instead of cool I went for weird. Title "Husband defragmentation". One of the images I create with my husband as model 😛. It was fun to play with the frame tool, I didn't know this one! Also find the inherited shapes.... 🙂

@eternal mica sure, either turn off view in tabs or go to window/arrange and pick something there. I can't stand to work in tabbed view as it is too hard to resize that way. Also a neat trick if you don't know, is to go to window and open another instance of your current image. It is not a copy or duplicate like other methods. This allows you to zoom way in on the one you are working on, but keep the other one zoomed out so you can see what your changes are really doing to the overall image. It is easy to get lost in the pixels when zoomed in a lot. You could be doing work that will never show when zoomed out 🙂

#

our internet is off and on for the last 3 days so I wasn't able to rewatch, which I evidently needed to. I found this interesting with able to use shapes instead of just the circle or square but I couldn't seem to get nested ones to line up right. I'll try to rewatch and see what I must have missed because right now, I know of easier ways to do this. And a competitors program that is WAY easier. But whatever. here it is.

@calm jay I think it is illegal to remove the watermark. if you purchase the license for it, it won't have any watermark.

#

@jade swift that usually means you were on the layer and not the mask. Be sure the white outline is around the mask to edit it.

@mellow crypt nice, in some test I tried Frames with borders and didn't like the result, yours looks great.

#

@trail glacier interesting!

#

@sacred field Anyway you found a way to get a good result out of the actual shapes 😉

#

@grim mantleyes, you need to create the layes specifically by selecting the shape tool, if you create more than one shape when you select the layers and right clic on the name of one you'll also have a combine shape layers (or something like that) to have them all in one. And the option to convert to frame available. Hope it helps 😉

#

@rare radish Im not sure if anyone answered you yet. Kathleen said very quickly at the beginning of her process that you could size the frame to whatever you'd like, and also use the transform tool. I think if you play the video again and pay attention to that at the very beginning,, you'll see how you can make any image fit the frame and shape you select.

#

@low citrus really great idea, great execution

@cold oyster I like the effect. Is there a way to add in your logo, or do you think it would ruin the effect?

Very cool design for day 4, @young karma. The custom shape at the bottom to show her neck works really well!

#

Tahnks for the feedback, @twilit shore. Getting the frames sized right for each successive ring was the hard part. Once the frames were placed, adding the gradients on each level was the easy part, and I had some fun trying different ones out to get the right look.

#

@twilit shore, I like the unique shapes you used for your frames. Lots of good use of the custom shape tool to create that design around the photo.

@safe ledge Really cool colorful style with the Day 3 challenge! I really like the high key look of the flower against the more intensely colored background. It might be nice to brighten up the text a bit closer to white (maybe a similar color as the lightest area of the flower) to help that thinner text read a bit more. Looks good!

#

@obtuse topaz This pattern is really cool! It adds a lot of interest in the way it breaks up the image. The text fits really nicely with the design. The monochromatic blue and white of the designs gives it a really clean and cohesive feel. 👍

#

@young karma Ooh, really great effect with that triangle shape. I really like how you kept the most contrast within that shape and the image offset is a nice effect. My only thought is if you reversed the background gradient so the darker area is up top it might help the text read a little more clearly and evenly. Really nice work!

#

@daring slate Very cool Trish! You got some nice depth with this image and I like how you varied the contrast between the images so they get gradually more eye-catching with the forefront image being a nice focal point, looks good!

#

@vernal ice Really interesting mix between pattern/graphic elements and the photo! If by bare spots you mean the areas of the photo up top I think those less busy areas give the image a nice balance. There might be too much going on everywhere otherwise. Nice work!

#

@split vigil Nice! Day 1-3 are looking really cool, I like how you have a bit of a visual consistency with the bright color palettes on these. I think they all have an interesting and successful mood/feel to them!

#

@restive shoal The gradient effect in this is looking really neat, I like how the hat kind of blends into the background. There’s some nice contrast maintained in the face which makes for a nice focal point. Cool effects in this design!

#

@frosty anvil Ooh, really nice concept for the Day 3 design! The masking adds some really nice depth and the tilt of the text is a nice touch. There’s a nice consistency between the value of the text and the person as well!

#

@restive wyvern Really cool effect with this Challenge 2 design! Kind of a tippy surreal feeling with the inverted background image and the starry effects in the center. Really liking the color scheme of this one. Challenge 1 is looking solid as well!

#

@jaunty orchid Challenge 4 is looking good! I like the soft contrast of this whole design, and the diagonal placement adds some nice interest to it. 👍

#

@true holly This is great! Really nice concept. The focus and even color contrast really help draw the eye well in this image.

#

@tired karma Very cool! It’s always awesome to just take a challenge and run with it, playing around with them in different ways is always the best way to learn I think. You got some really great effects with this design. Really nice cohesive color palette, interesting designs, and it all still has a strong focal point with the face. Really well done!

#

@winter tinsel Really interesting design, I like the variety in contrast you got with the different elements. Really interesting collage type of feel from this. Nice visual consistency to the image!

#

@rapid silo Looks good Danish! I really like the colors you got in this image! It would be interesting to see the original or any other images used. Really great mood to these colors and the texture adds a lot of interest. The text fits in really nicely too!

#

@hollow yarrow These designs turned out really well! Great sense of dimension and texture in these shapes. I really like how you got two drastically different looks with these two designs. I really like the white/blue one especially. The offset effect on the text is a really nice touch too!

Hey guys, used Kendall Plant's image just like the one in the tutorial. I'm also combining some of the techniques from the other days. Just mindblown from frames last week...never knew it existed.

Also, i've been used to previous photoshop versions - did 2020 change the way you select and move items and layers? I noticed that when I create shapes and convert to frame - it's taking the image layer beneath, and i wanted to drag an image into it. I'm also getting issues selecting like the "play at home text" when I have the layer select - I have to use the transform tool.

@spiral shadow Really cool! Hmm, I don't think it's too much, since there seems to be a nice visual concentration towards the center, with the sky and bottom area being darker and less detailed. But sometimes if I want to play around with focusing contrast I'll use a multiply layer for a sort of darkening/vignette effect or even giving the image a slight blur effect to look out of focus slightly and mask out the area I want to stay in sharp focus. I don't think this one really needs it but it's always something you can play with!

#

@young karma Really great photo! I like the intensity of the neon lights, and your adjustment seems to push that even further. I think the text style fits really nicely, though I wonder if moving it slightly up and to the right would make it feel a little less crowded, unless that feel is what you were going for. Looks good!

#

@restive shoal I really like the perspective on the text and the blue of the road looks really good! Nice job on the masking. I think you could probably push the perspective of the text even further if you want it to look flat on the road. Nice work on the Day 5 challenge 👍

#

@hollow yarrow Great job on the lighting effects in the Day 5 image! The glow and light beam of the lamp, and the way the ground and side area is lit all look very believable and natural. It does a great job of silhouetting the figure too. The lighting definitely transforms the mood of the image, very well done!

#

@weary wharf I love what you did with the lighting here! The boost of saturation to the colors of the scene adds a lot of interest and you did a really nice job of brightening the figure and drawing more focus to them. Nicely done!

heady nimbus

#

@wind trellis Really interesting photo! Kind of makes me think of that neon glowy paint or something. The intense color gives the image a sort of surreal feeling. The text fits nicely too!

#

@restive wyvern Very nice changes! The color shift and more subdued values make it look a lot more cinematic for whatever reason which is a really nice effect. Looks good!

#

@chilly hawk Looking good! I really like the depth that masking adds, and I realy like that the color you chose seems to match the environment rather than being fully black. Really helps it fit in the scene. I think maybe the sun shape could have a bit more of a bright center, but at the same time I feel like the more subdued value works too. Nice work!

#

@queen dew Nice work Paul, I think the brighter colors really change the feel of this image! I’m liking the style of font for this one too, nice job!

#

@eternal mica Nice work on the adjustments Ted! The bolder colors and contrast really make the whole image a lot more visually interesting. Nice concept with the logo too 👍

#

@grim mantle Nice work, the matching red of the text fits nicely within this photo. It would be nice to see the unedited image to see the changes, but this version definitely has some nice contrast and colors. Nice job 😄

#

@stable ravine That's great Chris! Always great to pick up new tips and tricks. This all reads very well and you did a great job of brightening up the man's face. If I had to make a tiiiiny nitpick it's that it might be nice to move the text over a couple notches so the white text doesn't tangent with the white sign to the left. Nicely done!

#

@restive mountain I think the graininess actually kind of works to some degree. I think when an image doesn't have enough light it can be tough to avoid the graininess past a certain point. But it definitely helps this image and gives it some clarity. Though perhaps the text could be a bit bigger or more clear? It's a bit tough to read at a glance. Nice work!

#

@young karma Looking good, I really like what you did with the colors for the Day 5 challenge! Definitely adds some interest 👍

#

@split swift Really interesting color effects on this Day 5 challenge! The shift between the two sides of the images gives it some nice contrast. I like the way you maintained the color of the lights and reflected that in the text!

#

@snow abyss Those color changes are looking really solid! Really transforms the image and gives it a much more upbeat and professional feel. Looks great.

#

@young karma This is really interesting with how you used shapes in the Day 4 design and broke the frame up, really cool! One thing I noticed is that there’s a lot of different colors going on in this design. It might look good to mirror the pink and green from the photo into the triangle’s frames to repeat the colors and give the design a cohesive feel. Though that’s really just personal preference. Nice job!

@hollow yarrow Honestly the work is amazing, you did so nice atmosphere in image, well DONE, in my perspective i found the source of the light is faraway from the person. In addition the person in the right of the main person has another source of light and the side which must have a light we found it so dim and I thing to improve it just we need to take the main source of the light out of image border and give some light on the right person. For the Play @ Home deal with it as a logo to not make a noise in the image, mean's leave it white.

Thank you so much for this constructive feedback@young karma . My favorite of your 3 compositions is the last one ( splited one). Is it a "before and after" image or a "two different adjusments" on the same artwork?
The B&W&R is not far because and this picture is well balanced and the Red accent gives some punch. Simple but terribly efficient.
The night effect one is well done too!

@eternal mica It depends how you're doing it. For example, if you just create a layer mask and use black and white to mask and unmask it you won't see the red. However if you use something like the quick selection tool and click "Select and mask" at the top, you'll see the red. And if you don't, you can change the appearance settings near the top right since red will be one of a handful of viewing options. Let me know if that solves the issue or if I'm misunderstanding.

When Kathleen masked yesterday's challenge, her whole photo turned red and she erased where she wanted to make changes. When I try it, I put the mask on and nothing changes, but when I choose the area to adjust, it colors that red for me to make changes. Why is it opposite of hers? Anyone know what I may be doing wrong??

@twilit shore youre the 3rd person to post the same issue. I did and @balmy drum did also. Sam gave me the following suggestion. I havent had a chance to test it out yet. @eternal mica It depends how you're doing it. For example, if you just create a layer mask and use black and white to mask and unmask it you won't see the red. However if you use something like the quick selection tool and click "Select and mask" at the top, you'll see the red.
