@calm jay we're each beginners at something, otherwise, we wouldnt be here. Have fun. You did a great job. Suggestion: Maybe a greater difference in tone between the three purple shades???

#

@analog parrot I love what you did with the colors here! The lighting observation is an interesting point, I'd try flipping the background really quick just to see how it feels. Though right now you get some nice contrast with the darker tones of the background contrasting against the light tones of the figure, and vice versa. The text also reads really nicely! My only suggestion is that it looks like part of his armpit area on the right side may have gotten masked out during the selection process. Really nice job on this!

#

@uneven kindle I think the colors work well! It’s fairly vibrant which adds some nice interest but without being too saturated to the point of looking unnatural. The green and orange/brown combo looks good, balances each other nicely

#

@unkempt field Nice job, really cool colors/gradients! I think it might help to get a bit more consistency in the gradients. One building is super intense, and the others seem like they're only a bit colored or even darker. I think keeping a more consistent level of saturation will help to unify the style and overall look of the image. Could even be nice to put a gradient in the sky to further push that stylistic consistency. Good job!

#

@worn yew Ooh nice, did you manually change all the colors of these structures? Very cool! The colors work really nicely together without any being overpowering and the text contrasts really nicely against them. πŸ‘

#

@young karma Very cool, you definitely get some nice blue-orange contrast between the sky and tower! I also like the masking you did with the clock tower. Perhaps making the text a touch larger could help some more of the lettering show through which could give it a bit more readability? Nice work πŸ˜„

#

@hearty wharf Very nice subdued tones in this image! I like how you used vibrant colors but the darker values still give it a subdued feeling. I think it could look nice to boost the brightness of the text a bit more just to give it a little more pop, but that's mostly just personal preference. Looks good Tan!

#

@modern halo Really cool colorations Willi! I like the smooth background gradient between the sky and land. I feel like the image lost quite a bit of the contrast in the shadows, a simple levels adjustment to boost up the darks might look good. Nice job!

#

@modern meteor, I agree with @tender crane, similar colors can get too confusing and will have the eye fight for attention. How about complimentary colors instead? Check out this color wheel generator here:

Day 5 before (above) and after (below). Questions: Can you undo more than one step (like using the History Panel) when the Camera Raw window is open? In Camera Raw, if you used the mask option on one area, how do you mask another area to make different changes? Thanks!

Day 6 - It's official! I SUCK at using the Pen tool. I'm uploading this just because I've spent a couple hours now trying to make selections with curves and finally just went with this.

coral stone
#

@cloud kernel to undo the steps in Camera Raw you just have to press ctrl (or command) + z just like Ps, (for Redo you can use ctrl + shift + z) . I believe the default steps is 50 using the same logic as Photoshop, but you can change on the preferences. About your mask question you can explore these tools in the top bar, they are selective adjustments, which you can add more than one (just click on new on the right panel with the tool selected) πŸ™‚

#

@sleek shoal The color changes to this image fit perfectly! Especially the sky, it really gives the image a stylized look and the boost in saturation of the buildings fit that well. Adds some great vibrancy and style to the original image!

#

@arctic rover Very cool Jude! Those inverses colors give it a really interesting effect. It could help to increase the contrast a bit on those areas with a levels adjustment to boost the darks to match the darks of the original image in those areas. The darks look a little faded not counting the red/yellow building on the very right which matches pretty nicely. Cool effects on this!

#

@balmy drum Great effect with the masking on this! It works really well with that image, both framing wise and conceptually with the colorful flowers. I really like how you repeated some of the colors from the design into the text as well. Very nice πŸ‘

#

@azure barn The soft colors of this Day 2 design looks great! The white text against the pink sky works really well and the whole thing has a really relaxing mood to it. Really solid work on the masking, adds some great depth. If you wanted to push it even further I think you could sharpen up the hillside in front of the glowing shape, to give it a bit more of that irregular pointy texture from trees that the rest of the hillside has. You seemed to do that with the hill in front of the text and it works really well. Very nice work on both of these designs!

#

@granite pasture Ohh, Day 5 looks good! Really interesting how you added the warm light to the building on the left in the same way it's hitting the building on the right, it looks really natural. The added contrast and colors to the rest of the image really pushes that warm/cool contrast which is great. Nice work

@bleak fossil Thank you!

#

@tacit condor Solid work! I like the boost to the saturation and contrast you added on this image, just enough to give it some pop without being overpowering. The text looks great and I like the color choice of the @ symbol and how it mirrors the image. Nicely done!

#

@soft maple Cool effect with the background colors and texture in Day 6! I like the sort of monochromatic orange/yellow you got in the buildings and water, kind of makes it seem like an intense sunset. I think it might help to brighten the text up a bit to separate it a little more from the background and help it read at a glance. Good job πŸ‘

#

@onyx fable Haha, always fun to see how you can apply these techniques to different images. I like how you made the colors vibrant while still keeping the values intact so it still looks realistic and plausible. Nice working on the masking, the coloration looks really clean!

#

@floral frigate I like the arrangement of these images, nice work compositing them all together! These are kind of nitpicks, but if you wanted to push the compositing even further I think matching the contrast between the buildings might help them fit together more. The Statue of Liberty and the building on the very left have deeper dark values. This makes sense for the Statue of Liberty since it’s closer, but the sense of atmospheric perspective between the rest of the building should be quite similar. That and matching the vertical lines of the building on the left a bit more might help it better match the perspective of the rest of the scene. Maybe something like this? I really like the cohesive blue/purple color palette as well that you got in this image, looks good!

Day 6 Challenge! I wasn't sure what to do with the background, so I just put a gradient and played around with the colors.

bleak fossil
#

@crystal stream Really nice work on all these designs! Really like the graphic look of the frame challenge. I love the colors in the last design, if you wanted to punch it up even more it could be really interesting to repeat that colored gradient in the sky a bit. Not sure if that's what you'd want if you're looking for the "less is more" approach, but could be an interesting stylized look.

#

@weary wharf Loving the colors on this design! The boldness of them really gives the whole thing an interesting graphic stylized feel that I think works really will. I feel like some text could fit nicely at the top in the background, even masked behind the tower could be kind of cool. Well done!

#

@winter tinsel I like what you did with the masking in this! Adds some nice depth. Really cool effect with the coloring of the sky and the flare. Gives it a bit of a supernatural feel. I feel like the text could pop off the background a bit more, I was thinking it could look nice to have the stroke around the text be a bit lighter to contrast against the dark background. Even making it more of a light yellow could be cool to mirror the yellow from the sky. Great mood in this!

#

@rain dew Wow, very cool to see how much you transformed this image! I like the bold sections of color for each building, and the text color and style fits with that well. The middle section of gray seems a bit out of place, it might look good to colorize that whole section a bit. Maybe something blueish like this to contrast against the orange sky? Really great style to this image!

#

@sacred field This is super cool! Kind of looks like stylized 2D game are with how you broke down the shapes and colors. It could be nice to see the sky value separated from the buildings even more, but this is looking great!

@bleak fossil thanks so much! I definitely will give the background a flip around a see how it looks. Yes, you're so right - I do need to go back in and give the masking process another go. I tried to tell myself he looks a little bit like a wild greek statue, hence the few chips out of his armpit and hands πŸ˜… but yes, will for sure go back in and give it another go. Thanks heaps for your suggestions!

Cool work @desert raven I like how you did the overlap. My only suggestion would be to position the text a little bit up, especially the word home so it can be more legible. πŸ™‚

#

@young karma the pink tones on the sky looks amazing! One thing you could do is to smooth a little bit this edge so it can create a subtle transitions of the colors, you can use the soft round brush with low flow or opacity so you can build the effect with more control πŸ˜‰

Nice job, I like the style of the illustration @azure barn . Maybe you could create a smooth transition among the colors from light to dark, it will add a little bit more depth to your work. Try playing and experimenting with different brushes and tones, you'll have so much fun πŸ˜„

#

@ionic maple these colors are amazing and I think I can feel the texture on my hands! You did an awesome job! πŸ’™

Very creative frames @gaunt geyser . My only suggestion is that maybe you could play a little bit more with the type face, maybe playing with the scale or moving down a little bit the word Home so it won't create a tangent with the stars! ⭐

#

@modern meteor Nice Jackie! I like what you did with the colors. It could perhaps to brighten up the sky, maybe even with a slight gradient effect, and brighten up the text even further to give everything a clear read and contrast separation from each other. Nice work with all the masking!

#

@grand grove Wow, you killed it! Challenge 6 is looking awesome. Really great job on that effect, and I love the way you have trees and a deer on top, still reads as an arm but adds a really cool dimension to it. I feel like perhaps the darks could be boosted up just a bit in the mossy arm, especially around the lower portion to emphasize that shadow, kind of like you have around the fingers which I think look good. Awesome job on this!

#

@soft maple Great colors! I really like that blue/orange combination. I wonder if a subtle drop shadow on the text could make it read a bit more against the light yellow feathers. Really nice texture in this too!

#

@kindred kernel Really cool effect with the text Gerard! I like the bright, happy feel of this image. It might look interesting to blur the sky/clouds within the text to separate the two with a sharpness contrast, while also giving the text a sort of frosted glass effect. Of course this is totally just personal preference. Nice work!

#

@chilly solstice Looking good! Really interesting emboss-like effect with the texture in the Day 6 challenge. I wonder if giving each set of colors a slight gradient could add another interesting dimension of depth in this? Looks good!

@crystal dove Very cool! I grew up in San Diego, OB is a really cool area. This looks good, I like the added element of color and how that fits with the text. It could be nice to brighten up the inner portion of the text a bit to give it a bit more contrast and pop off the background. Nice job!

#

@azure barn Great graphic elements in that frame challenge! Really adds an interesting design element to it. These are looking good!

#

@night juniper Really interesting effect with the colors on this! Has a nice unified feel. It could be an interesting look to make a clipping mask for a levels adjustment on the girl to boost the dark tones just a bit, and use a soft brush to mask it out so the contrast is focused on the face a bit, if that makes sense. Maybe just something to make the face a bit stronger focal point. Just a thought, cool style to this!

#

@mellow crypt Challenge 7 turned out great! You did a really nice job of separating each set of feathers with value and shadow, very clear read to the whole design. There’s a nice cohesiveness to this color palette too.

#

@hollow yarrow Loving the texture on your Day 7 challenge! There’s a really nice paper cut out sort of feel with this as well. Great contrast, really nice compositional read to the shapes, and the masking out of the text behind the foot adds a nice element of depth. Looks great!

#

@mighty linden Ooh, this is really cool. I like the somewhat toned down color palette of this design. Gives it a more realistic colorized photo look. I think it might help to add a slight color to the street and sidewalk. Even just a subtle tint, (maybe cool grey for the street and warm grey for the sidewalk) could give it a bit more realism rather than them both being completely void of color. Very nice!

@merry ember Nice work with the peacock image! I like what you did with the background. The dark red really helps the colors of the peacock pop, very nice!

#

@young karma Very cool, looking good! I like the colors you used in this, and the cast shadow on the background is a nice touch. I think blurring the shadow a touch more could give it a nice looking soft edge. Nice work with the masking off the text too, adds a bit of extra dimension!

#

@rain dew Nice work! Brushes can definitely make for some great textures and interesting effects when you need them. I really like the texture you got in the feather in this one, adds an interesting look. The background contrasts the cool colors of the bird nicely as well. Looks good!

#

@peak sentinel Ooh, really interesting look with these bold colors! Very nice work on the selection and masking of the hair, that can be really tricky and it's looking solid! The way you masked the text is a nice touch too! I do think the background behind the text could be just a taaaad darker to give the text a more clear read, but I like the general high key look of this whole design right now. Nice work πŸ˜„

@coral stone Thanks for the feedback. But how do i use the elliptical marquee tool. I took the moon as a layer and added the outer glow to it (just to practice) but couldn't get rid of the hard edge of the moon.

Thanks, @coral stone. The front layer with the Peacock's head was the one that I revisited the least while working through the project, and I even thought about tweaking it some before exporting it up to Discord. You've given me some ideas about playing with the colors more; let's so how it turns out.

@light wren : Thanks for the feeback. For the background I used several techniques: Blending modes on several "grungy" Textures (old paper, water paint ... etc) and I also used different dirty brushes (grunge, splatter ...) with different colors and blending modes ... I encourage you to try to mix several techniques and to experiment ... It is sometimes horrible but after a few mistakes we often get good results.πŸ˜‰

@vague knot, no problem man. Thanks for giving it a try. Art, just like music is subjective, so I do hope you enjoy it. If not, no harm.
"Influenced by video games and movie soundtracks of the 1980’s, Synthwave is the perfect blend of retro with modern sounds. There’s a reason for why the sounds of the 80s continue to remain relevant in pop culture and in the music scene – because sounds of the synth are unique and one of a kind. Synthwave takes all of the best aspects of the 80s aesthetic and repackages it into something entirely new and modern. It’s as if the 80s have returned with a vengeance. Check out Synthwave today for a throwback like no other."

Day 6 - Pen tool. This is my photo ofΒ the Seafarer's Union hall in my town. I'm not sure what the union members willΒ think about this colorful version, but I sure had fun doing it -- it was relaxing in a way. Β I'm especially fond of the copper gradient roof. It took a while to find the right image. At first I thought about Detroit's Riverwalk, but decided that closer was better.

#

Day 7: Add texture with brushes. I based my drawing/painting on a mouse from Pixabay. I started in Fresco and refined in desktop Photoshop . . . I'm much better with a mouse than a brush πŸ˜‰ First I made the shapes, then brushed over them with an Aaron Blaise fur brush, then I when back through and added highlights and shadows for each piece -- talk about time consuming! I added 3 Flypaper textures with Adobe Paper Texture Pro with normal, multiply and hard light blend modes and put on a vignette with the ACR filter, it still needed something more, so I grabbed a vector Swiss cheese from AdobeStock and modified it to fit the lighting on the mouse.

#

Day 8: Layer Styles. I'm using my own photos for these posters. I've used torn edge paper templates from AdobeStock as a base, and GraphicAuthority textures on the background layer. Using these older images again brings back good memories. I photographed those baby swans every 2-3 days from the time their mother built her nest until they moved farther back into the marshlands.I guess the parent got tired of paparazzi πŸ˜‰ .

OOF okay, I totally re-did my collage. Lisa and Jesus' critique was basically have a proper colour scheme and get it to "read" better (ie more of a visual hierarchy), so that's what I worked on here. Thoughts?

@fathom holly I like it. The "tears" create directional movement for the eyes, and having the contrast of the orange brings it back to the center of the subject. Doesn't feel unbalanced to me.

@feral locust The tiger contrasts really nicely texture and color wise with the background! I like the big shape of it, gives the design a strong read. The text looks good too!

#

@fathom holly Ooh, really interesting contrast and tones in this one! I really like the emphasis on the diagonal lines of the paper, gives it an interesting dramatic feel. I like the llama’s eye popping over the seam too, hah. Very cool!

#

@odd spear Really cool! I like all the different tiger elements you added in this! Nice use of overlapping shapes, good job πŸ˜„

#

@honest glade Oooh, this looks great! Excellent masking, really nice simple color orange/blue color scheme, and the masking of the text adds a nice touch of depth. Really well done!

#

@granite current Ooooh, really cool. Great job masking all these collating them together! I like the cohesive colors scheme here! One suggestion is oftentimes it can be nice to get some visual hierarchy in a design with a lot of elements like this. Trying to have a primary, secondary, and tertiary read in terms of what is the biggest and has the most contrast can give a design a nice focal point and readability. Looks good!

#

@tender crane That’s great! I really love the colors in this image, there’s a really nice harmony to them. I’m also always a fan of a good orange/blue color scheme, hah. The other images collages in the paper strips look good too, nicely done!

#

@young karma Awesome! I just saw that movie a couple weeks ago, very cool. I really like the way you used this paper effect for this design, looks really official πŸ˜„ Nice job with the arrangement of the images as well, I like how the center makes for a nice focal point!

#

@worn yew This is great! I love the contrast, both conceptually and color wise. The image of the iceberg somehow fits in really naturally with the image in the way you placed it. The diagonal placement adds a lot of interest and gives the image a nice visual balance. Looks awesome!

#

@left abyss I really like the contrast and colors in your Day 8 challenge! Really nice composition and arrangement in this. I like how there’s a nice visual hierarchy in the in the photo elements with the one on the right being the focal point. Nice job with the masking of the text too!

#

@carmine fern Awesome, welcome back to the wide world of Photoshop, hah. I really like how you kept the color on the tiger only, really makes for a powerful focal point. Mirroring that color in the text looks really good too. I like the diagonals and deep contrast of the black and white background. Makes for a dramatic look without overpowering the tiger. Very nice!

#

@stable ravine Looking good! I like the bright colors and feel of this Challenge 8 design! The paper strips and drop shadow look really nice! I feel like the cast shadow behind the paper could be a touch softer, but that's a minor note. Nice work πŸ˜„

#

@hollow yarrow Very cool! I love the color shift between the layers, and the dramatic diagonal positioning of it across the center of the face. The multiple layers of paper is also a really cool effect. This makes me think of some real life drama documentary that you might see on Netflix or something, hah. Very well done!

#

@young karma Really cool work with the colors on the Challenge 6 design! Almost makes the streets look like a neon river or something, hah. This is totally just personal preference, but I wonder if the flow of the image might seem more natural if the streets gradient were reversed with the darker part being further back, and the bright pink part being in the image's foreground. Just a thought. The peacock image is looking really nice too, good job!

#

@mellow crypt Very cool masking! I really like the diagonal zig zag shape of the tears, gives a really interesting balance between the two images, and frames the tiger head in a really interesting way. I really like how you used to contrast to focus the eye on the orange tiger head image. Solid work!

#

@twilit shore Hah, very cool! Nice job on the shadows on the curls of torn paper. Could even be cool to see a claw shaped tear in the image too. I like the bits of cast shadow you added on this, nice work!

#

@eternal mica That's great Ted! I feel like a second go at new challenges always goes a lot smoother. Really nice work at the layering of these images, the cast shadow and overlapping shapes adds some nice depth. Looks good!

#

@young karma Aww, cute. I like the concept of this design. I like the warm color scheme too! I'm not sure if you've used the refine edge tool within the Quick selection tool, but I feel like it could make the edge of the little cat even more soft and natural looking. Though honestly it looks quite good right now. Nice work with the overlapping shapes too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2I7X92IVGk

#

@vague swift Nice job with the torn paper effect! The little cast shadow works really well to add some depth without being too intense. Really loving that background pattern too, adds some nice interesting while keeping the contrast low as to not be too overpowering. Love the little cat jumping at the tail in the background too XD

Day 8 challenge - torn paper. Hi everyone, this is my first day on this app/system. I chose to rip up my own paper and use some photos i had. When i finished it looked nothing like the challenge. I will do another and try placing textured paper clipped to each piece of torn paper and let it rim the photos. I am also having difficulty getting the photos to look on screen like they did in my app. They are much darker. Are we supposed to use the stock photos or can we use our own. A little late to ask for this challenge. πŸ™‚

@fading peak, never too late, and I enjoy reading about your process of going the extra and creating your own torn rip paper! Kudos to that. Have you tried crumbling up some of the paper, so you can get that added extra texture from the folds and crumbling?

Revised. Day 3. @bleak fossil Well, Thank you for the advice!! I can see the difference now. The face is more on focus. I did masking of face separately and applied Gradient map.Then used soft brush to mask out the dark tones. I hope this is what you were suggesting, but, I may have done completely opposite of what you had said. πŸ˜…

#

@proper fiber nice photo editing, I like you brightened the dark areas recovering some details. Seems like the text is blending a little bit with the background, you can adjust this, by creating a subtle drop shadow (with the text layer selected, go to the little fx icon on your layers panel, then choose Drop Shadow. You can play with the sliders as much as you want) πŸ™‚

Last day - 3 D glasses look. Still can't understand why it looks so dark in the feed but when you click on original image it looks like it is supposed to look. I see others images and they look the same in the feed as they do in the original image look. I am saving it in JPEG. Is there a better format to save it in for this feed? My second day here and i seem to have more questions than answers. I am very grateful to have discovered this during the hide out in your home time. PS I was very surprised to see chorus girls wandering up and down the Las Vegas strip near naked. And you should see the photo of the man i snapped. Wow!

bleak fossil
#

@azure barn Very nice Phil! The 3D glasses effect is looking good. There's a nice balance between the photo and the colored effect, nice work!

#

@fading peak Very cool Izzy! I like the drama of the contrast in this image. I think the thumbnail and the full size version look basically the same to me. Though I think I know what you mean, I've seen images that look a little different in the thumbnail vs full version, but I'm not sure if that was due to those particular images having a very intricate texture. I like the deep contrast of this, but perhaps giving the brights a bit of a boost with a levels adjustment might look nice. I think the pop of color suits this image well!

#

@hollow yarrow Ooh, I love the sort of glitch effect combined with this 3D glasses effect! It suits this challenge really nicely. The black and white image gives this a sort of vintage feel and the pop of color gives it some nice interest. Very cool!

#

@lime meadow Ooh, really liking the colors on this and how the text works with the sunset sky! Really nice working masking the colors on the buildings. I think it might look nice to give the color sections of the building a slight gradient. Perhaps making the top portion a little bit brighter and a little bit warmer in color. Might look a little more natural and add a sense of depth to the colored building. Just a thought, really nice job!

@tropic knoll Awesome, glad you could join us again CK! Your day 9 challenge is looking really good, you nailed the effect nicely!

#

@green loom That's great to hear, glad you could join us! This is a really interesting image to try this effect on. I like how it affects the mural on the wall and creates all the vertical strips of color with the edges of the buildings. Awesome job, keep it up!

#

@vague swift Challenge 9 is looking great! I really like how well this effect works with the dramatic contrast of this image. Really awesome effect with how it works as a reflection in the wet pavement. Kind of reminded me of Sin City at first. Nice work πŸ˜„

#

@vernal ice This is really cool! I like how the effect is most prominent on the singer which helps to reinforce him as the focal point. I think the text could either be a bit brighter, or a bit thicker/heavier. Either one would help it to read a bit stronger. If you make it brighter it could be nice to select the light area of the hazy background which could fit well. Looks good!

#

@sand patrol Very cool! The weekend is always a great time for that. The Day 9 challenge effect is looking really nice! I like the soft tones of this, but I think a bit of a levels adjustment to boost the lights a bit to make flower pop a bit more could look nice. Though that's really just personal preference. Nicely done πŸ˜„

#

@merry ember Really nice torn paper effect! Almost makes me think of paper mache or tape. I really like the tiger in the middle, but I think it might help if you separated it from the background in some way, either way a hue contrast or value contrast since the tiger and the background appear to be the same color and brightness. Maybe keeping more of its original orange color would help, or increasing the contrast so it's a bit darker than the background. It also might look nice to give the text a subtle drop shadow to pop it off the white paper background on the word "play". Really nice work with the masking here, the overlapping shapes add some nice depth!

#

@fathom sail Glad to hear it! I think Challenge 9 is looking really nice, I like the way you added a texture using the color from the 3D effect. I don't think it's too plain, though I think getting a bit of that offset color effect on her left side too might help give her a little more color and pop off the background. Nice job!

#

@modern halo Very cool Willi! This is a really interesting image to use for this effect due to all the vertical and horizontal lines and details. I really like how that's apparent on all the bars but the effect is still more intense on the person, that really helps keep focus on him. Really nice work, this turned out well!

#

@twilit shore Ahh that's great! The claw mark looks really cool, I like that addition!

#

@night juniper Hah, no, that looks good! I feel like the added contrast definitely helps draw the eye. πŸ‘

#

Thanks a lot @fathom holly and @eternal mica ! Really glad they help and happy to hear that πŸ˜„

Here is my final project for this DCC round. The 3D effect reminded me of the charm of VHS tapes.
This was my second DCC and I learned so much! I look forward to many more.

@young karma I loved the nostalgic/dramatic look of your first image, great job! πŸ’™ My only consideration for the second one is to brighten up a little bit so we can see more details of the subject πŸ™‚

@shut trout Very creative use of the text on the background! I like the use of the color on the foreground text, well done!

@heady nimbus Personally I like the colours of the peackok, maybe it can be better with another background? maybe on the blue area?
@tender crane ya i think the colors can be better

@uneven flume The VHS and 3D effect combination works super well on your photo. I also like the Play text and icon on the top right. Reminds me of my family's birthday VHS tapes. Super well done! πŸ’―

Thanks @sterile bane for the challenges for the 2 weeks learnt a trick or 2 i didn't know about. Done something different with layer styles. used the pen tool to remove the steak from the plate it was on and replaced it with the wood background.

@calm jay Love the palette, the sky gradient is amazing and fits nicely with the colours of the bridge. What would happen if you moved the Play @ Home text so that it fits around the 3 buildings nestled together? Or placed it just under the bridge's top deck thing?

@bleak fossil Thank you!!
@sterile bane Thank you for this DCC! Like everyone else, I can’t pick a favorite challenge, they all have beautiful results. The reason it’s hard to pick, is because we learned so much. On each one there was an ah-ha, that’s what that means/does/is way easier with this advice kinda moment. Love that you end with an easy one, can’t wait to do so many edits. Thanks again!
