@gaunt geyser looks very good, you might give the plastic bags (the farther away ones) some subtle gaussian blur it will bring a depth of field to you work. Great job, Liam 🙂

Day 2: Blend images. I can't decide which image backdrop goes better with my ballerina (AdobeStock) with magnolia blossom (pixabay) tutu. The Fairy Toadstools (Pixabay) on the stage (Bittbox)?
Or the deep forest (Pixabay)?

@young karma Thanks

@young karma that’s what I call a dramatic effect hahaa! Very well done 😄 One thing that you can do is give a brighter tone to the text, you can pick a tone from the bright places on the surface and maybe remove or reduce the drop shadow 😉
@floral frigate very creative work. I loved the colorful text matching the LEGO, nice blending as well 😄

Nice one @eternal mica! I loved the sky replacement. If you want to play with color effects you can add a gradient map, color lookup or a photo filter adjustment layers 😀
@tacit condor haha loved the names and the effects as well, good job!
What a beautiful work, @balmy summit! I loved it 💙
Good job on your day 1 @daring dock! My only suggestion is that you might brighten the model so she can pop from the background. If the colors look a little faded you can increase the contrast. Very nice colors choice 🎨
@manic edge awesome work, I loved it 💯
@cerulean steppe Nice effects! I like the way that the colors created a drawing effect on your selfie. Well done!

@coral stone Valdair, thank you so much. Would you play with those on the sky layer or the whole image?
@eternal mica you can use on the whole image. These adjustment layers can be a very handy technique to unify the colors on a image and give a mood to it. There are a lot of them that you can play and try 🙂

Wow, I went crazy looking at all the options. I think this color lookup changes the whole feel of the image away from the natural and adds to the sense of pollution by highlighting the plastic bag much more and changing the water color to amber. Weird but fun.

Hey everyone, when Paul shows us that pressing the alt key on a windows or option key on a mac can give us straight lines with the selection tool, nothing happens on my end. I am on a Macbook Pro running Catalina. Does anyone here know how to make it work? ... I tried pressing almost every key on my laptop and nothing did it!

Challenge 1 what you guys think?
bleak fossil
@junior rapids Very cool! The color grading kind of makes the whole thing look more murky and polluted which fits the concept nicely. Really nice blending of the two photos, the under side of the iceberg almost kind of looks like melted plastic. Nice work on this 👍
@burnt shale Really interesting mix of images here! Getting into the surreal territory with the camel, hah. Cool concept with making the area underwater lighter. It might look nice to mirror the camel to the other side and increase it’s contrast a bit to have deeper darks. That might give the image some nice visual balance so it isn’t so heavy on the right side. Nice work!
@crystal stream Really nice contrast between the area above and below the water! The blend between the images is looking nice as well. It could look nice to throw a gradient on the bottom to darken the bottom of the design down a little to look more like deeper darker water and to darken down the brightest areas of the bottom of the back. Might help reinforce the feeling of the light coming through the surface of the water and getting darker as it gets deeper. Looks good!
@jagged jacinth Very cool! If this is your first challenge then welcome in! The blending of the two images is looking really nice and I like that look of the light rays coming through the water. Nicely done!
@chilly hawk Very cool, I really like the extra elements you added in this! A couple little suggestions I think might help would be to get rid of the subtle white outline around the whales. When you’re selecting you can go to “Select” at the top and expand or contract the selection, contracting it by 1-2 pixels might get rid of that outline. It could also look good to use something like a multiply layer on a clipping mask to darken down the whales ever so slightly, but mostly to give them more of a blue tint. That might make it look more like they’re underwater. Just some thoughts. Really nice work on this challenge!
@restive wyvern Ooh, really cool effect on this one! I like the texture you’re getting with it. I feel like I could see this being two parts to an animation where it morphs into that more psychedelic looking second image, hah. Very nice!
@cold oyster These are great! The eyes blending into the room beneath the house is a really interesting effect, the color adds a lot of drama to the image. Really liking the concept of the castle image too! It could be really cool to add a little bit of a pink tint on her hand, as if the lighting or image is just starting to affect her as she reaches into it. Good stuff!
@stable ravine Day 2 looks good! Really nice transition between the two images. Kind of cool how the bad sort of resembles a jellyfish as well!
@unkempt field Really cool to see the additional elements you added in this one! Nice job with the blending of the bad image as well. I think it could help to put a cooling filter or multiply layer with a light blue tone over the sea turtle to help it match the color of the dark blue water a bit more. The jellyfish are a really cool touch!
@twilit shore I really like the stylized effect on the right side! The background gradient does a nice job of adding to that stylized look too. I think the image on the left could maybe use a levels adjustment to boost the darks a touch, but I do like how the image on the right has more contrast and acts as a strong focal point. Looks good!
@raven condor Hah, Challenge 1 looks good! Interesting colors, and the text reads and contrasts really nicely against the background. The only suggestion I would have would be to get more of a visual hierarchy in terms of contrast. Currently each image has about the same level of contrast and visual focus. It might be nice if you increased the contrast on the center image and let the other two be slightly more faded. If anything the background portraits pull a bit more attention due to the green color and darker tones of the hair. The text contrasts really well, it could balance the image nicely if the center portrait pulled more contrast as well. Well done, loving the gradients on this!

@terse dock nice selfies, I like how you faded the ones in the background, it helps to give the impression that they are way behind the front one!
@agile harness Impressive work! I loved your colors choice and the lines creates an interesting effect on the selfies 💯
@winter tinsel cool composition. My suggesttion is to place the text on the bottom part of the image, so the elements can appear clearly 🙂
@regal mica beautiful effect! I like the plastic bag overlapping the text. Nicely done!
@vale sandal good job! Loved the texture on the background! 🙂
@untold gust nice color palette. I like the drama mood it created for your image
@plush musk I loved the birds in the sky and the text has a nice tone and the overlap on the letter T looks great 😃

@uneven flume very creative! Good job, Elle! 🙂
@inland kiln WOW! Impressive work, loved thow the mountain blended with the subject's hair, awesome job!
@covert loom nice effect, I like the cyan tones on the surface! Just a suggestion, you can add a little bit of the blue tone of the water on the top of the plastic bag and create a transition to the dark blue on the bottom. The splatters you added on the plastic bag looks great! 🙂
Cool work @swift folio! The icy feel looks really nice 💯
@tulip willow nice movie poster style! The yellow text contrasts really well against the cyan sky, good job!
@chilly ore Wow beautiful tone, the plastic bag has a nice neon effect with the color that you chose, I also like how it transmits a strong message. My only suggestion is that you might reduce the black vignette by brighten a little bit more the areas around the plastic bag.

@cold oyster I like your skully bulb one the most out of the 3 you posted - nice and smooth. The cheetah-woman ones appear to transition from cat to woman very abruptly. Almost like it was just a simple copy/paste with a feathered edge. Any way to smooth those out a bit? Maybe even try to bring the eyes of the third one so that they are at the same vertical height for added realism? Overall good stuff and keep up the good work!
@cold oyster My first thoughts were "Hey! That looks like the Disney castle!" Good work!

I wonder if you took an algae-green and added a bit to some of the darker areas.. maybe a darken or colour burn layer.

@sand lichen, are you on the default lasso tool or "polygonal" lasso tool? Try switching to the polygonal lasso tool instead, and it should work.

@normal basalt The arms turned out great!!

Nice images @barren wyvern. Since you have a warm background, my suggestion would be to give the dog more warm tones so they can match a little bit more. Also the dog seems that is a little bit transparent, you might increase the opacity to 100% so the background doesn't be visible on the dog area 😉
@cold snow I loved the name haha! The background looks super nice, you might brighten up a the left side of the dog or just flip it horizontally so it can have the same lightsource direction as the clothes 🙂
@obtuse flint Wow, amazing work. I loved how the sunset tones created a interesting effect on the image, also great masking feels very realistic 💯

@south adder Excellent idea and excution. IMHO, I find the inconsistant focus under the water a little distracting. It would be nice if everyting had a similar focus/blur to maintain realism. Great job. Rick. 📸
coral stone
@broken whale well done! About your day 2, The golden text has a nice contrast to the background, my suggestions are that you can put the text placed on the bottom of the image so the the iceberg and the plastic bag can appear more, also you can reduce the extrusion and maybe remove the shadow to eliminate the distraction and create more impact! Good job 🙂
@eternal mica what a beautiful dog, super cute 🐶 ! I like that you masked the ear to give the impression that the hat is covering it. My considerations are the blending in this area 👇. To do that you can reduce the size of your brush and paint on this part to reveal a little bit more of your dog. For the paws you can reduce a little bit the size of them and use a small soft round brush on the layer mask to smooth the edges (you can do that on the head as well). Another cool work, Ted 🙂

@haughty cape Your Queen Delilah looks amazing! I loved how you added noise to the whole composition. If you want, you can use a soft round brush in slightly bigger than the edges with low flow and paint on the layer mask blend it even more on the neck areas. The transition from the image to the cat will be a little larger and smooth 🙂

Day 3: Bending Pixels. I chose the painting by Anonymous because it was so fantastical; the shape of the coat, feet, and the fact that the walking stick stands on its own. I added a kitten and cat's paw from AdobeStock. I spent a lot of time trying to get that Curves > Auto > Options > Find light and dark to work, but all I got was white, no matter where I sampled. There must be some trick I missed, even though I watched the video several times. Bummer. Ended up using selective color.

@forest aspen I had the same issue at first, but after reviewing the tutorial from Paul i saw that i wasn’t working with the curve selected but with the mask. That solved it for me!

@twilit shore pretty nice effect! I love the texture you applied to the image. One suggestion is that you can mask the ears on the hat area. It will help to create the effect that the dog is actually wearing it.
@plain sable loved the painting effect and how the font seems to match the brushes strokes, nice colors choice for the text as well 🙂
@pale grail nice color blending! You can try to smooth the edges just a little bit to match the ones from the original painting. Well done 🙂

@sacred field, great angle, I would transform the head to better match the size of the body, apply a bit of blur to the Blue's head (maybe 0.5 to 0.8) to match the sharpness of the painting.
prime haven
clever wraith
@green loom It's actually pretty close. I have two suggestions that might help. One, bring up the highlights on the dog. The environment is very bright white, so a few more bright areas on the dog might help it fit the environment better. Two, the original photo is a lower resolution than the dog. So the dog is crisp, but the rest of the photo is a bit blurred. Experiment with adding a touch of blur and noise to the dog, so it matches the texture of the photo.

@storm wasp Super creative work! I like that you added a texture to the bone painting, maybe you could play just a little bit with the opacity so it can have the faded look as the other elements on the image. 🐶
@coral stone Thank you! I played around a bit with the bone image but didn't really manage the effect I wanted. I think it would work better if I drew the bone myself and maybe whitewashed the canvas first.
bleak fossil
@pale grail Haha, very nice! I think it might help to give the dogs face a bit of a levels adjustment to boost both the brightness and even the darks a bit to match the contrast of the painting. And fading the edge of the dog's head for a softer blend might help too, good job!
@storm wasp Perfect! Haha. Loving the portrait of the bone. Really awesome work fitting these images together. The texture on the dog's head, the cast shadow under the paws, all very well done. This turned out great!
@plain sable Ooh, really nice job making the dog fit the style of the painting, really cool effect! Really great texture on Challenge 2 as well. Looking good!
@thorn geyser Oooh, I love this one, makes him look like a humanoid dinosaur, haha. Really great job of fitting the head into both the shirt collar and hat in a natural way! I feel like a bit of a cast shadow using a multiply layer under the hand on the far right could be a nice touch. Super cool!
@tacit condor Great effect with challenge 2! Really cool concept and the way you matched the two photos up works really well, perspective looks really natural too. Well done!
@sturdy vault Hah, this turned out really nicely! The lighting on the dog fits the outdoor scene well. I feel like the paws might benefit from having the contrast boosting up a bit to match the rest of the image, but that's a really minor note. Nice work on this one 😄
@young karma Wow, you're killing it with this one, above and beyond! Both these images are integrated really well, even the fade of the contrast of the lions head fits the image perfectly. Awesome concept and execution. Bravo!
tropic haven
bleak fossil
@daring slate I love the dog's expression in the context of this image, haha. The direction of the lighting fits in perfectly with the image's lighting coming through that window. Looks great!
@pliant geyser Love it! That cat is a great casting choice for Jack Sparrow, hah. Fits in the image very well, nicely done!
@winter tinsel This matches the painting so well! Really great photo of the dog for this image as well, looks very natural. The other dog in the scene makes this work so well too, hah. If I may nitpick I think the face of the dog could maybe use just a toooouch more contrast in both the darks and lights. If you look at the face of the lower dog you can see how bright the lights are and how deep the darks get. It already looks on point, just a thought. Great work!
@sacred field Love it! You fit the hat on the dog perfectly, hah. The dog's expression is great too. I wonder if warming the colors of the dog's face might match the warm tones of the painting a bit more, I often use a photo filter to quickly try this type of edit. Looks great!
@bitter zodiac Challenge 2 looks really good! The colors and values of the bag match really nicely with the photo, and gives a really nice underwater look. The whole thing creates an interesting shape as well. Really nice work!
@wispy compass Oooh, this is a good one! I really love how well that angle of the cat face works with this painting. I'm not sure if you used the refine edge brush tool within the quick selection tool but it might help you get a more natural soft edge with the edge of the cat's face. Here's a quick little video in case you were curious. Well done 😄 https://youtu.be/c2I7X92IVGk
@opaque mango This matches so well with the colors and values of the painting, very natural looking! Sometimes I've used the oil paint filter under Filter->stylize with some luck for that look. Looks like it fits in quite well! Solid work 👍

@young karma Really great concept! I like the idea. I really like how the colors on the paint roller seems to match up with the rainbow as well, though it could be a nice touch to get a little more of the red/purple tone near the bottom of it. Very cool!
@forest aspen Really like how you handled the hair and ears in this, haha. The color seems to match really nicely! Perfect angle of the cat face for this photo too. I feel like the edge between the hair and cat face could be a toouch softer to match the outer edge of the hair a bit more, but that's a bit of a nitpick. This came out great!
@south robin Really nice color gradients between these 3 portraits! The colors work nicely together, and I really like the visual hierarchy in this in how each portrait seems to have a different level of contrast. Nice job!
@mighty linden Nice work! Challenge #2 looks good, I think the colors and lighting match very nicely! The shark is a nice touch, which also matching the lighting of the deep water in a very natural way. Well done!
@cerulean steppe Very cool! Somehow the black and white makes me think of some old time horror movie. Definitely gives it an interesting look. The edge of the bag on the left side looks a little soft and appears slightly out of place, though that's a bit of a nitpick. Nicely done!
@deep rampart Really cool! Welcome on in! This looks really nice, matching the dog's head to fit that hat worked well. I think you could push this even further by matching the light and dark tones to the painting, currently I think the bright white of the fur seems out of place. Maybe something a bit darker and warmer to match the tones of the painting. Nice work!
@fathom sail The colors and lighting of this cat painting are on point! Very nicely done. Definitely fits in with the painting nicely. I think perhaps the outside edged of the cats head could be a bit sharper to look more natural. Fur/hair can be tricky but I think the refine edge brush tool within the quick selection tool would do a nice job in case you hadn't tried it. Here's a quick little video in case you were unfamiliar https://youtu.be/c2I7X92IVGk
@gilded jungle The positioning and angle of this cat head works perfectly with this painting, hah. Looks really good! One thing I notice is the values seem a little mismatched. I think if you eased off the deepest darks of the cat head juust a little it might better match the deepest dark tones of the rest of the painting. Nice work with the masking on this as well!
@nocturne shuttle I think the colors and tones of this image are matching quite well, nicely done! I've had luck with the oil style filter under filter-stylize and I've also seen Jesus Ramirez show a mixer brush technique to manually brush over an area on a new layer to get a sort of painterly look. The oil one might be a quicker way to get some pretty nice results if that's what you were looking for. This turned out well!
@red moat The quarantine hair is point, hah. Really nice style to this whole design. I really like how you repeated the background color in the eyes, gives the design some nice unity. Looks good!
@warm hamlet Very nicely done Dawn! The colors and tones seem to fit the painting very nicely, and I like the way you fit the dog’s head into the shirt collar. I like the side position of the hat too, looks good!
@regal mica Very nice work! The hair on that dog photo definitely seems quite tricky. Were you using the refine edge brush tool for that at all? That’s my go-to tool for hair, but that photo looks like it could be tough. Really nice job fitting this in the painting. I feel like the dog’s head could use a little boost to the bright tones in the center of the face to match the lighting just a bit more. But overall this is looking really solid!
@crystal stream Hah, pets can be notoriously hard to photograph. Love this photo you chose for this challenge! Not sure if you used the refine edge brush tool but it might be able to give you less jagged edge on the dog’s fur. Also, with how dark the fur is I think you could probably just draw the other ear in by making a selection with the lasso took and filling it in. This all fits together well, nice work 😄
@stable ravine Love it, you really nailed the masking on the hair! Well done. I really like how the dog’s black fur makes this entire outfit black, very cool looking. My only small suggestion is I think you could boost up the darks on the dog’s head so the shadows get a little closer to the shadows of the clothing. This turned out great!
@floral frigate Very nice, are these photos of your own dogs? They look great! They fit really well with this painting, great choice. The colors seem to match really well, though I wonder if they dog’s faces could be just a touch brighter in the highlights. Really nice work on this, it turned out very well!
@late thorn Very cool! Really interesting look to this design, I like the subtle texture on the portrait. I feel like the portrait could maybe use a boost to the dark tones to give it more contrast, but that might just be personal preferences. It definitely has an interesting effect as is. Gradients are looking good, nice work!
@tropic haven Oh man, this turned out great, hah, love this design. The cat fits so perfectly with it. Really nice job with the masking and fitting the images together. My only thought is that lightening up the darkest tones of the cat head might help match it better to the painting. If you color pick the cat head you'll notice some areas go to basically full black, while the paintings deepest shadows are actually a good space away from full black. I think that adjustment would fit them together even more. Awesome job!
@broken whale I'm sorry to hear that. I love the black and white idea for this one, gives it a really interesting mood. If you wanted to go even further I think a bit of a cast shadow with a multiply layer from the hat could look nice. Maybe something like this? Well done!

I know it didn't work straight away for me either as I was following the video but think that is how I got it to work. Another option might be to use the clone stamp? as it will be covered by the animal head? I am no expert and just learning as I go on this. 🙂

@whole lotus nice job on the light direction. My only suggestion is to reduce the blue tones since it’s not a color that is present on the painting. You can use the warm tones present on the background and the background as a reference. 😉
@serene fog Great job masking the dog’s ear. I also like that you added some texture on his photo. You might smooth the edges on the nose area, you can do this by using the refine edge or a small soft round brush
@terse dock loved the Statue of Liberty and how you made it and how you faded it creating a nice atmospheric perspective and the colors are great as well! Your day 3 looks awesome, maybe you might mask the ears or just one of them to create the effect that the dog is wearing the hat even more. You can also smooth the edges of the nose area so the mask could be less sharper 🙂
@light cipher Cleo is super cute 😍 My only thought is that you could brighten up her face to match the luminosity of the painting a bit more. Great job, Mary!
@untold gust I loved the dog’s face expression! Well done!
@tardy ridge I loved the dog’s expression! Just one point of feedback is to mask the ears to give the impression that the dog is really wearing the hat 🙂
@uneven flume awesome job masking King Louie, I like the painting effect that you added on the cat and great making especially on the whiskers. 💯
@warm edge I loved the typeface you used, what’s the name of it? My only suggestion is to add a little bit more contrast preserving the faded style but making it stand out more from the background especially on the pink/cyan one. You colors choice is amazing!
@tulip willow great angle! The shadow from his hat helps the image looks even more realistic, good job!
@steady lily How cute is your baby Choko! You might increase just a bit the size of his head. The color adjustments look very nice. Well done!
@sand lichen The dog expression seems to match really well to the one that is looking at, almost that “oh no this dog again!” Hah. Good job!
@covert gulch loved that the had has a special place for the ears haha. My suggestion is to refine the edge just a bit more and maybe mask the the right ear or position it to along the curve of the hat. Nicely done, Robyn!
@barren ice sorry to hear that, if you need help please tell me 🙂 In addition to what @opaque mango said, here are some points that can be happening: Content aware fill does not work with Smart Object, if the image is a Smart Object you can Rasterise it. For the color adjustment make sure you don’t have the mask selected instead of the the curves icon selected. Let me know if this worked out 😉
@odd gull loved the glitch effect, awesome work!
covert loom
@coral stone Hello boss how are you.

@orchid steeple nice one. My only thought is that you could refine the edge just a bit more, so it can remove the blue halos of it. If your are using the Select and Mask try to enable the Decontaminate Colors option and see if it worked out on your image 🙂
Happy Friday @covert loom I'm doing well and you? Just in time for the feedback on your work hah: Nice colors. Did you use outer glow for the hat? My only suggestion is to preserve the hat body to be more consistent with the other clothes 🙂

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @primal fulcrum
bleak fossil
@thorny spruce Really liking the design and layout for the Day 4 challenge! The background texture is a great choice too. I don't think the anchor is necessarily too low, but perhaps if you could create more contrast between the text and the anchor it would have a stronger read at a glance. Perhaps by lightening up the bottom of the anchor just a bit? Nice work!
@zinc elbow Ooh, really like the contrasting colors on the Day 4 design! I like the flow of the asymmetric design as well. I think it might help to strengthen the contrast between the letters and background for a stronger read at a glance. Perhaps making them a bit brighter would help?
@inland kiln Ooh, this turned out great! I love the strong triangle shape created by the head and the cape. I feel like the brightness of the tiger head could maybe be boosted just a touch to closer match the painting. Really solid work on this!
@distant dune Looking good! I really like the soft color palette and gradient on this Day 4 design. Gives the whole thing a relaxing feel. Nice work with the liquify effect as well!
@serene fog Really interesting arrangement of the text! Kind of reminds me of the effect Paul did on the intro stream, almost making the text a sort of texture over the background. I might look nice to get rid of the hard line across the bottom area, and perhaps even push the values of the gradient to make the transition a bit more dramatic. Though that's really just personal preference. Really cool design!
@manic edge I love the lighting and colors of this image with the elephant! They fit together really well. The only suggestion I have would be to boost the darks of the elephant to match the contrast and dark tones of the background. Might make the images fit together even more. Looks really good!
@patent estuary Haha, very cool! Love all the elements you added in this Day 3 challenge. I definitely think finding images at the right angle and right lighting is a huge part of the battle for these images. The only suggestion I really have it that maybe the hat the lap dog is wearing might be a little bright compared to the lighting on the painting. Especially against the dark black coat it pulls a lot of contrast. Maybe using a multiply layer or darken it down a bit around that edge could look good? Love the painting you added on the canvas in this XD
@open kettle Haha, perfect! I love how well the lighting of the dog's head matches the rest of the photo. The colors fit together very nicely as well, looks good!
@past reef Great liquify effect on the text in this one! The sort of tie dye colors work really well with that effect too. This text all fits together really nicely style wise, and the black background gives the whole thing a really powerful contrast. Looks great!
@bleak turtle Wow, you did a great job of making the dog heads work within this painting! The masking looks really good, and the blending of the images looks really natural. Even down to the shadows you added on the left dog's head around the hair, collar and hat area. Very well done!

@young karma Haha, I love the painting you used for this! Very cool. I think to push the effect even further trying to match the lighting a bit more could help. The lighting on the painting looks fairly strong and from the center/left. Perhaps brightening the dogs face on the center left could help? Maybe something like this? I just used a color dodge and multiply layer to try and match the lighting more. Great image!

Day 3 of the challenge. The collar was hard to do...
bleak fossil
@next pagoda That collar definitely looks tricky, nicely done though! This turned out really well. I especially like how you even got a bit of a painted look to the dogs head to match the original painting image. I think the lighting might actually match a bit better if you flipped the dog's head, since the lighting seems to be coming from the right on the dog, but left on the painting. Just a thought. Really nicely done!

@steady lily, nicely done! And good dog, Choko! If I may, viewing the original, you can make out a bit of the neck from the original. Try to add more to Choko's neck by way of clone stamping that area, or create a selection from a similar area, cut/paste, move, and brush it back on the layer mask, then match the tone with an exposure/curves adjustment layer, as another way to make up for that. It should fill in the missing area, and from there meticulous exclude the other portion of the collar of the suit on the mask.

@viral mirage The black and white image creates a dramatic mood to your composition which is really great! I also like how you added the blood splatter and how it matches the mysterious style that the typeface has.
@pale grail nice job! I loved how you made the arc on the word rainbow and filled with a gradient. The suggestion I have is: since you have a thin typeface, the drop shadow, especially on “Maya Angelou”, can be more subtle, for that, you might place it closer the letters, give a little sharper look (reducing the size amount) and reducing the opacity just a bit so it still can have a nice contrast to the background and be subtle in the same time. Good job 🙂
@ionic maple wow amazing job, Shannon! I The way that you made the text with textures and the cracks seems to match really well on the images’ mood! The background composition looks awesome! I like that you applied blur on those transparent areas helping to bring a realistic feeling. Super well done!

@fathom sail The monochromatic look and the letters are impressive! The emboss effect helps them to pop to the viewer. Also great job on the textures 🙂
@shadow barn wow awesome effect, I loved it! If you want, you can try the Displace effect that Paul showed on the welcome stream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvKIarkZbCcO or on his masterclass in January (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOnHi_8ufwo) to see how it goes.

@haughty cape I like the contrast between the words, the background! The visual effects on the words are amazing! How did you do the Roots words? 😍 super well done!

@young karma Really interesting design here! Very cool to see how these elements all came together. That red/orange pinwheel shape makes for a really interesting graphic element and a really eye catching color contrast against the blue background. My only suggestion is it might help to increase the contrast (specifically boost the darks) of the bird head to match the deeper darks of the rest of the scene. Really minor but figured I'd mention it. Looks good!
@stable ravine Looking good! The font works well with the wooden crate texture! It could be nice to see that text offset effect Paul did to bring even more attention to the warped "Disturb" text, but that's just personal preference really. Looking good!
@tired solstice Very cool, glad you were able to! The bag blends into the iceberg image really well, nicely done. The colors and light look good, and the boats are a nice touch too!
@oblique anvil Ooh, really cool colors and style to your Day 1 challenge! The complementary color scheme really makes this pop. Really great job on the masking as well, the edge of the hair looks really natural!
@unkempt field These are great! I like that you tried this with two different paintings, I especially like the bulldog's face, hah. I think it might help to brighten the bulldogs face a little in the top center region to match the lighting even more, but these are looking good!
@primal fulcrum Very cool! The background texture in this came out really well! Lot of cool coloration and shapes. I like the style and boldness of the pink text. I feel like it might help for the rest of the text to be a bit brighter against the dark background to get a better read. Perhaps putting a lighter fill color within the text, maybe even at a lower opacity so the background shows through could help that. Really nice work!
@twilit shore Really interesting effect with the text! All the different font styles kind of remind me of those notes made from magazine clippings, hah. It really depends on what you're going for, but I think that often time keeping it to just a few colors or font styles can make for more cohesive design. Or if you're going for more styles, then having a more consistent structure to the placement can give it some order. Again, really just depends on the look you're going for. I like the distortion you got on this text, nice work!
@tame jacinth Really interesting colors and text in this! I like the depth of the image that the background perspective provides. The text warping also adds some nice movement and energy to the design. Nicely done!
@wooden bloom That's great to hear! These challenges really are all about building that mileage and comfort with these techniques. The colors on the iceberg image area looking really nice, you definitely got that underwater look with the bag. The only thing that really stands out is the bag seems to be a bit warped and stretched in an unnatural way in the middle and left section. Kind of has a bit of a glitch looking effect. I think getting those areas to be a bit more consistent with the rest of the bag may look more natural. Good job!

Planet or Plastic
@south robin i love your tagline
coral stone
Very interesting effect @whole lotus! I like how you created a contrast of the colorful abstract text against the background. Looks like you have a little bit of fringing on the subject’s hair, you can easily remove it by using one layer clipped to the subject’s layer and then with the clone stamp tool pick a sample of the hair and paint with it on the fringing area with a small brush (I put a link to the Aaron Nace on Adobe Live where he teaches this technique on #❓ask-a-question channel). Nice work Roger 😉
@chilly hawk, I loved the effect and how the colors contrasts really well against the red background, nicely done! You might place the “Beyonce” text near the quote (maybe below the word grow) so the elements can be related even more to the viewer.
@covert loom very nice job! I like the plastic/ metal effect you created on the bottom. Sometimes the Liquify filter might push the pixels from the edge and create this effect below 👇 you can easily remove this by using the liquify itself, just click and drag with the Forward Warp tool to fill the empty places. Well done Mahedi!
Great job on the mask @worthy quest I like how the colors of the dog are consistent in relation to the background, nicely done!
That’s a powerful dog @left abyss haha! My only suggestion is to decrease just a bit the paw size. And here’s a little tip: you can mask the ears to give even more the impression that the dog is wearing it. Good job, Nicole 🙂
@untold gust I loved the distortion, my only thought is on the Ben Parker, since it’s a script font you might made it lowercase preserving just the first letters in uppercase. Script fonts tend to connect to each other when they are on lowercase and this effect can increase the readability even more. Awesome work, Scott!
@young karma those splashes look really nice. I like how the quote is related to the background, really cool!
@regal mica The effect on the word Peaches is amazing! I love the way that the distortions follow the letters movement, impressive work!
@ruby panther The quote works really well with the effect especially on the yellow to green transition. My only suggestion is that you might play with the edges of the text. You can use a small size grass brush on the layer mask to create the roughen edges effect. Super well done, Shawn 🙂
Nice job @mild spruce! I like the color adjustment tou made on the second work! 😉
@queen turtle Good job! I like how clean and subtle you made the text. My only thought is that you can increase one or two weights of the font so it can be read more easily and maybe apply a subtle distortion with liquify or warp to give some movement to the text. Great work!
@uneven flume very nice effect! I like how you played with the rain and rainbow fill 💯
@ivory garden nice effect! The black text contrasts really well against the background. My only suggestion is to distort a little less so the text can have a bit more readability. If you applied liquify on the text layer and it is a smart object, you can double click on the effect and use the reconstruct option. 🙂
@south robin the neon text looks great, I like how you kept the blue tones and preserved the text readability. You might just adjust the Ps and the N to give them a lighter tone! Awesome work, Hannah! 🙂

primal fulcrum
@bleak fossil thanks. Yeah, fortunately it is more legible at full size. I tried grouping the text layers but they lost the colors and effects. And since the "coloring" comes from many layers with blend modes, putting in another changed all the rest. I don't know how to keep the effect and yet add something under. I can't turn off everything and comp it since that would also change it. hmmm I'll think on how to do it.

@coral stone really struggling with the luminosity, here is my second attempt 🙂
@light cipher Really nice @light cipher! There is a check layer that you can create to see the luminosity values. It's the Black And White adjustment layer. It removes the color distractions of the images and let you see the tonal values more accurately. You just need to compare the brightest tones of the background and see if they are matching with the ones from the dog's head image, the same with midtones and shadows. Then you can correct it with a curves/levels adjustment layer clipped to the dog's layer. If it the head becomes more saturated you can correct with a hue/saturation adjustment layer 😉

@coral stone I had forgotten that I still had the All Caps selected when I did the signature at the end. You're right that it looks much more realistic making only the B and P capitalized.

@compact pecan Nice job, Hugh! I like the impact of your work, my only suggestion is to play a little bit more on the text, maybe try a different color so it can be read more easily especially on the top. Well done 🙂
@odd gull hah very nice. I like how the word glitter has a glow and a texture on it and those bites on lunch are really creative! Good job, Helena!

@young karma awesome work, I like how you played with the hats as well.
@barren ice I like the distortion of the water, really cool! My thought is that you can adjust the size of the green text, especially on the circular one. If you want, you might also position it near the corners like it is a signature of a stamp of the poster.

@wooden bloom PS daily challenge #4 Distorting Text I really enjoyed looking how to Distort Text. I got really excited when Paul talked about Salvador Dali as I had been to the museum to see his work. I have put one of the backgrounds in which I photographed whilst there with the quote.
patent estuary
For the this Daily Challenge, I wanted to create and recognize the 80s classic, "They Live".
For the background, I used an illustration/design from artist "Luke Preece" (great illustrator), & transformed it larger as to focus on the eyes and a bit of the face.
The aliens are known as "Fascinators". I applied a bit of liquify at the eyes to make it appear angry or much more evil.
I recalled Roddy Piper's character, infamous line, "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @$$ - and I'm all out of bubblegum".
I kept his basic needs to three...an Ithaca 37 shotgun, Dubble Bubble Gum (don't know if that's the correct one from the movie), and some black top sunglasses.
I wanted to make some of the background appear from behind the sunglasses, keep some reflection of the bubble gum in the lens.
Think of this as the "Kick @inland anchor starter kit".

@coral stone Thank you for the review! I chose the font (Andale Mono regular) for that it looks rather flimsy and elusive (as happiness sometimes is.) I agree that it would be nice if the words are more legible. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the Andale font in bold, so I will leave it for now. Tried the warp and wish there were more control points (the last line is a bit too wavy for me..) Thank you to all the hosts and moderators! I really enjoy learning from you during these stay-at-home days.

primal fulcrum
@queen turtle it is the texture that is conflicting with the text. If the goal is the text, then the text needs to be legible. If you applied a gaussian blur to the background the text will most likely appear to float over the background and make it easier to read. A darker color would help or a drop shadow. You can still keep it light but make it so it can be read.
@white pebble much better. Big improvement

@young karma awesome work on the text effects!
@forest aspen I like how the font matches really well against the painting! Great job!
@lunar lance we can’t get enough of playing with distortion hah! I loved your background, my only suggestion is to increase the contrast in some areas, especially on this area 👇 just to make sure it has a nice readability to the viewer. You can do that by adjusting the brightness of the tone of the words. Good job 😉
@cerulean steppe I loved the quote hah nice job! Sometimes when using liquify to warp near the edge, it creates a empty space on it. To correct this, you can use liquify itself, using the forward warp tool fill this empty space 🙂
@modern halo nice job on your day 3, Willi! My only suggestion is to decrease the brightness just a bit so it can match more with the background! I loved the background of your day 4. Well done 🙂
@young karma Great job, I like the color palette you used, feels very clean. My only thought is on the word things it seems to be blending with the background losing contrast, you might adjust the tone darkening a bit or using the color of the word little. Nice distorting 💯
