@lethal mural the instructions in the "Invisible" challenge just don't work for me. First of all, I can't see where you are clicking on the video...you click too fast and move too fast. When I get a layer mask, mine looks different from yours, it's just all white. No matter what I try, I don't get the black with outlined white image. I hate to give up, but that's a key pivot point, and everything after that depends on that image. I've PMed you already on a different question, but you have not responded. Tell me why I should continue to follow your DCC.

@grave thorn I am trying to understand your issues. Many people here are happy to help you and anyone who are having problems completing the challenges. Please be more specific and we will help you out.

Challenge 2 - The hardest part was finding an image with a perspective that worked with the background, how does the perspective look? I know the lighting does not match between the two images.
grave thorn
I get halfway through the video...I've content-filled the skater, and then Jesus says duplicate the BG layer, OK, move the content fill layer below the copied layer, check, then you can create a layer mask on the copied layer. His layer mask is black with a white skater. Mine is all white. I've watched over and over again, and my results are the same, over and over. Jesus starts painting on the image to erase the skater again, but I can't.

@grave thorn this video may help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQsYziKvx9c&list=PL7JpMMpENaD3KL_lvmw4eS5U5AD746yKB&index=4
@grave thorn it sounds like you have not selected the skater before creating the layer mask
grave thorn
I've tried it both ways.
delicate flint
Doug you need to have the skateboard selection active for the mask to fit.
My problem is that I have the impression to see a shape around my character, even if it's invisible. Maybe because I didn't enlarge my outline enough in the selection.
mossy prism
move the content fill layer below the copied layer, check, then you can create a layer mask on the copied layer.
you need to make a selection of the skater between these two steps
grave thorn
OK, I have it now...Jesus didn't mention the point about making sure the subject was selected in the content aware layer.
Now I have a layer mask with a subject in it.

sigh OK, It's bedtime for me. I'm done with this challenge. @lethal mural you talk about details that are irrelevant to the process (clone/stamp and healing brush tools), and you speed through the absolutely relevant details without clarification or enough time for people to see what you are doing (actual mouse clicks on icons). Just some, hopefully, helpful critique. I would have said this more privately, but you did not respond to my private message, so... (I hope I haven't violated any rules here.)

Challenge 04, I had an issue with using the patch tool to copy the fabric for some reason. So I ended up using fill colors.

@lethal mural the instructions in the "Invisible" challenge just don't work for me.
@grave thorn not jesus but I can answer some of that. First off go to YouTube and rewatch the recording. Then you can stop it and back up and you can watch it full screen. Now you can start with a white mask, no problem. Just hit alt-i to invert. OR hold down the alt key when you click on the mask icon and it will come up black OR while on the white mask, go to your properties tab and click invert.
Can anyone please help me...my text tool in photoshop seems to be having some problem. Everytime I type anything...the mirror image of the text appears. It is working in inverse.
@odd gull I can't even click that option but see if yours is checked. If you have a NA keyboard and PS in English, you should have that default option checked and the rest grayed out
@grave thorn if you hold down control and click on a layer, it will automatically select what is on that layer. If this is a subject on transparent it is great. If you have a mask, be on the mask layer and hold down control and click on it and you will select what the mask shows.

@mossy prism that’s awesome! The more you do and challenge yourself the most rewarding it is 🙂 Very nice on this one!

Very creative @young karma! My suggestion is to position the apple lower to where the mouth area used to be 😅 You might also use the clone stamp tool to create some parts of the hair at the back of her head and darken them a bit. Nicely done, Valentina!
pliant geyser
@coral stone @young karma Valdair's advice is bang on the money. If you don't want full hair in the back, maybe place it at 35-50% opacity so it's semi-transparent
@thorn geyser Overall, I like it! To nitpick, some of the masking around the chin strap area isn't quite correct. But you've done a great job replacing the body parts with the background.
@hollow yarrow Colour grading is fantastic! The background blur is an added bonus. Well done!
@tame breach Not bad overall - the see through hand in the middle of the guy on the left's body is kind of odd though. For the shading in the uniforms, I would suggest choosing colours more closely related to the shadows in the folds that are already there. The black shading just looks odd to me. But, overall, interesting concept!

Can you guys give some feed back? thanks
eternal mica
@grave thorn I am pretty new to Ps and definitely new to doing anything on the level of these challenges. I started a number of weeks ago. What works for me is what was suggested to you a little while ago. Watch the video in replay with your finger on the pause button. Watch it as many times as necessary. Go slowly step by step. Its all there. I make sure my screen mirrors the instructor every step of the way. There will always be a click or a switch in tool that maybe the instructor doesnt mention clearly. If my screen doesnt match the instructor, I replay until I catch what I missed. Sometimes I use my Ps knowledge to guess at whats missing. And most of all, reach out here in the chat. Everybody here is learning and having fun. Ask for help. I have found the people I have met here to be incredibly willing and helpful. Stay with us. Enjoy.

@odd gull I use Hebrew type from time to time. There is a setting in the text toolbar to switch the text orientation L>R to R>L. Check yours out. You may have unknowingly flipped the orientation
pliant geyser
@unborn rock You could use the pen tool to define the area you want to replace, and save it as a vector mask. That's about the only way I can think of to use the pen tool for this task.
@young karma Excellent! You repeated scarf in the back, which is great attention to detail.

daring dock
hey @young karma you did pretty well job with hands and legs but in face you can do more realistic work. because it currently look like statue face try to clone from windows to make it look more better.
coral stone
@lime jetty depending on the lighting of certain images, the metallic effect is a little harder to make. One thing that you can do is increase the contrast of some areas of the model or try to use the apply image more times. You can also work with duplicates applying different values on them, and mask some areas later to create some balance of the shadows and highlights 🙂

@pliant geyser Wow, this turned out great! Really nice job creating the backing area of the clothing. Those hair (tentacle) wraps seem especially tricky and you did a really nice job with them. Very cool!
@young karma I think it works really well even without being centered. Great awesome contrast and lighting in this, it adds a lot of interest. The colors really helps add to the mood of it. The effect turned out really well!
@round geode Awesome to hear it, congrats! I think sometimes it takes a handful of challenges to get familiar with the program and get in the groove. This turned out great! Really clear effect and nice contrast to everything. Really nice natural blends between the two images as well. Great work!
@subtle crypt Nice work on these ones! I especially like the robot face effect, really natural looking edit. Kind of gives it a gritty sci-fi movie look with the grainy background. Very nice!
@fierce umbra I love it, Day 3 challenge turned out great! Really awesome contrast and texture to this one. Gives it a really striking look and feel, very well done!
@brisk flower Very nice to see you playing with different versions on this challenge! The hand effect came out really well. I think it could look nice to add a bit of a vignette to the black and white one. Even pushing the contrast more (specifically by boosting the darks) to really push the dramatic feel you often see in black and white images. Nice work on these!
@young karma Really cool! The double exposure effect definitely adds to that surreal effect. The hand effect and sort of warping this image has is looking good too! I wonder if making this black and white, or color grading it to a desaturated single color might help that surreal “trapped” theme you have going. At the moment the colors look kind of happy and bright which seems a bit unfitting for that theme, just a thought. Really nice work!

bleak fossil
@cerulean beacon Very cool! Interesting to see this effect on an illustration. I think it would really help to sell the effect to edit in the "back" areas of each object. Like the hair, and fill in the areas of the clothing where the arms covered to really sell the look like Jesús did. Nice work filling in the background area!
@hidden flame Really cool concept with this Day 3 challenge! I think it's looking pretty good, and there's a nice sense of motion with the two sets of hands. I like how the highest contrast is still in the eyes which makes for a nice focal point. Looks good!
@vocal cairn Ooh, really nice! Really solid work on creating the back area of the shirt. It could be nice to see a little bit of the back part of the sock on the right too, though that's a fairly minor detail. Nice work!
@sturdy vault For sure! I think this one can be really tricky just due to creating all the areas of the image that don't exist. You did an awesome job on it though, the back areas of the clothing are looking really natural and the shading works very well. Great job, this turned out well!
@modern halo Nice work Willi! This effect is looking good, the backing area of the shirt turned out well. It could be nice to see a bit of the back of the right sock but that's a fairly minor detail. Good job!

I did! Hah, I like that subtle detail
@hot thicket Really cool to see this with multiple figures! Really nice job willing in the background, especially with the chain link fence. It could help to fill in the further back pant leg of the person on the right where the shoe originally was overlapping. Nice effect!
@young karma Ooh, great idea! I like the way the image is cropped to focus on the reflection as well. Nice job with this effect, the shoes and background asphalt looks nice and natural 👍
@lime jetty Nice Meg! Do you have the original picture for the gold effect image? Sometimes it can just be the lighting of the picture doesn't work quite as well, but the way Jesús repeated the effect more than once can be a big factor, as some images need the effect applied more than others. I also selected specific areas like the arm that needed the effect applied more than the rest. Not sure what happened with the arm on the right, but having all the edges nice and sharp really helps this effect too. Nice job 😄
@young karma Very nice Geri! Really nice work with filling in the textured background of the grass. Looks really natural. It could be nice to fill in the face area with a dark hair color as if there were no face there, though the way you have it is kind of an interesting invisibility-like effect on the skin as if it mirrors the surrounding area. Nice work!
@young karma You nailed this one! Especially the effect with the dark shadows where the face would be under the hat. Great job on the boots as well, this one looks really convincing, well done!
@brisk flower Nice! This came out really well, nice work on the back part of the hoodie. Yeah, content aware fill isn't always perfect, so some photos definitely require a bit more manual touch up. Really nice work!
@young karma Very nice! If you just added in the back area of the shorts the way you did with the collar of the shirt I think it would really nail down that effect. Looking good!
@oblique sinew This is a great photo for this challenge, the before and after video is great to see too! Really nice job on the shirt and editing out these areas to fit with the background. I think it might look good to see a little bit of the inside of the sleeve on the right side and help push this effect even further. Really nicely done 😄
@pastel spade Love it! Reallllly impressive job on that hat and shirt, they both look really natural which can be tricky. Nailed it 👍
@cold oyster Great image for the Day 4 challenge, looks really good! The only suggestions I have would be that the top sleeve looks a bit soft and cut off, but I think with the quick selection tool or something similar you should be able to get a nice crisp edge. Also, I wonder if we'd see into his shoe with the angle that the top foot is at. Maybe seeing into the dark shadow of his shoe could help, though that's a really minor one. Looks good!

@young karma that's a challenging image for the day 4! I like how you have reconstructed the top of the shirt, my only suggestion is to brighten up a bit to avoid it blending with the dark tones from the background. 🙂
Looks nice @primal vault! I loved how you worked on the text and built the background with the light and texture. Great job!
Cool job @solemn spear! My only suggestion is to create the shape on the left sock to look even more like it is empty. You can use the exact same technique you made with the shorts. Great job removing the subject! 💯
@young karma very nice! I like the dark tones you applied on the background and how you played with scale on the duplicates.
@vernal ice wow great job with the overlaps on the frames. I also like how the background is not 100% black and the texture makes it look super cool!

@unborn rock you can use the pen tool to make a selection and then paint on the mask. The quick select worked fine for me and was faster. But each image is different as to what works best. That is why we have so many methods and tools to do the same thing.

@fathom holly Both look good but it looks like you forgot to clip the hands to the face so they don't extend beyond the face. Having them stick out on the sides looks a little odd.
@primal fulcrum Thank you for the suggestion. the settings were okay as set like you showed me...but still the inverted text is coming...from right to left. like

@odd gull the only other reason I can think of is if you are putting text on a path and you have the direction of the path backwards. I tried but couldn't get my text to go backwards. You might contact PS customer support.
Attempt at the Gilded object. Feel like I need some help with making more metallic color?
@lime jetty The trick seems to be to start with a faily contrasty image. Or see if when you turn it BW, you can adjust the sliders in CR to make it a lot more contrasty. Did you do the apply image x2? I did those on separate layers and then blended. 1 time wasn't enough but 2x was too much for my image.
Day 3 . Not sure if is good enough..
@hidden flame I think it is charming and a nice story

@cerulean beacon this would be a challenging photo to work with. You would see the dress behind her arms, not the wall when you removed her arms.
Does anyone else here use a drawing tablet / iPad combo or does everyone use the mouse for painting/drawing?
@pliant geyser I have a tablet but usually use my mouse. I have tweaked the settings on it so it is very responsive. I pulled out the tablet recently but I'm not as good with it and hate how I have seem to struggle to get it to start where I want it to.

@solemn spear it was a low contrast picture to start with so the clothes get sort of lost without her. I would maybe recolor the clothes and shoes so they stand out from the background.

@young karma Your concept made me smile too much 😄 Just few feedbacks; The ground seems too dry to make reflection. Maybe you can add some puddles or wet effects on it to make more realistic. And the furthest clone will make higher distance with his reflection also. But rotating object for every clone and blurring them according to their distance is just fantastic 🙂 I loved it!
coral stone
@sand lichen great job maintaining the lines consistent. My point of feedback would be to create an empty effect on the right sock just like you did with the shorts. You can also darken the inside part of the shorts to create more depth and the impression that the lights are gradually decreasing as it goes inside 🙂

Image did not load properly the first time I tried to post it. Beach Ghost. this was a interesting challenge. I definitely need more practice with this to get the patching and matching to work better. Ach.. not sure why the image is not showing up, as it is just over 7mb.
@tired solstice I think it needs to be under 2. Go to export/for legacy web - that will get you a jpg with the smallest file size. It only needs to be 72dpi at a fairly high compression rate for online. Also you can change the size here and it will not effect your original image but make it a bit smaller if you still need to lower those KBs.

@primal fulcrum Using the tablet definitely is taking some practice... mine is Gaomon - in the set up interface you can tell it how you want it work with your main screen. I have it set so that the touch surface is locked directly to the entire screen. If you hold the stylus 1/4" above the surface, it behaves like a mouse, but as soon as you touch down it's the same a clicking on a mouse.. Kind of neat.

@young karma Your concept made me smile too much 😄 Just few feedbacks; The ground seems too dry to make reflection. Maybe you can add some puddles or wet effects on it to make more realistic. And the furthest clone will make higher distance with his reflection also. But rotating object for every clone and blurring them according to their distance is just fantastic 🙂 I loved it!

So great to see you are back for this one @cunning needle I loved the gold effect and how metallic it looks, great job! Your day 2 looks very nice as well, just a suggestion, you might try to mask the ground where he is standing and create an impression that he is actually with the hands on the table and the phone 😉

@round perch I agree with @primal fulcrum, Nathan. To achieve the metallic gold effect you might fine-tune the Bevel and Emboss and mainly the stroke layer style. I'll give you the HEX codes that Jesús used for the linear gradient on the stroke to help you get started but feel free to adjust and change with whatever values you like 🙂 #6e4e00 ; #e09218 ; #c68804 ; #693e02 ; f6dda6
@mild solar Looks super cool. I like how the shadow in the bottom created more dimension to the gold effect avoiding it to look flat. I also like the blue flare that you added and how it gives a technological look. Nicely done!
@dim brook very nice effect, Ceci! I like how you played with the "i" dot. The metallic green stroke is looking great! Well done!
@ocean pine, wow I loved your typeface choice. The high contrast between the transitions made it look so fancy. I also like the script text, my only nitpick is not using uppercase on all first letters, this will help it to look like they are a continuation of the word Diamonds 😉
@arctic rover, super fancy Jude! The tones of the hat and the stroke create a nice consistent look your work, well done!
@daring dock well done, Shuja. I like how the flares have a nice size without creating any competition for attention. If you want, you might play with some inner shadow to separate the stroke from the image even more. It doesn't need to be so harsh, it can be subtle 🙂
@kind sentinel great job putting a background. My only suggestion would be to darken it a bit so the glow of the text might appear more 😉

Hello. Here is my schnazzy text...
Probably should've done some kerning on the B and G. I just blasted through the exercise trying to get the effect w/o thinking much about the text.

Still a latecomer trying to catch up. The skater's skirt was sheer fabric so I wanted to see the phone through it so I edited the mask by selecting that area in the channel with the RGB channel visible and filled with 40% which allowed the phone to show through. Small trick but effective.

@eternal mica Interesting, but the font choice makes it VERY difficult to read. Since it's obviously for a lady, might I also suggest more of a script font? If you want it really legible, maybe consider Bebas Neue or Montreal Bold?
@young karma Much better! Maybe not quite as dark on the left, but you definity got the jist of what I suggested. I think the highlights on the lower parts of L and A need to be a bit "less bright" as well, considering they are father way from the bulb.

@eternal mica Did you make the text a smart object or anything like that? If so, you will more than likely be able to make the font change as long as the layer has not been rasterized. You will need to make the same font change on all duplicated text layers.

Very creative @strong lake! If you want, you might put some diamonds with the flares to look like they are the source of the flare. You can also try to place some in different areas along the lines as well. Nicely done!
@oblique sinew beautiful project! I love how you made the dividers, they are a great to differentiate, and create even more interest in the project!
@young karma super cool effect, Geri! I love how the gold stroke creates a nice impression of neon/metallic gold. My only suggestion is to brighten up a bit the top area, especially on the O and W letters, to keep the effect even more consistent. Well done!
@dense wadi Looks very nice! About the shadow, the process is a lot of fine-tuning and see what works best and what doesn't. You might check the opacity and blend modes of the layer styles, sometimes they can be helpful to adjust the effect. Great job!

@tropic knoll looking pretty good, CK! I like how the Bevel & Emboss have different levels on the stroke, it creates a very interesting effect. My only suggestion is, you might adjust the space between the T and the other characters. If your text is still editable you can place the cursor between the I and the T and press alt (win) or option (mac) and then the left and right arrow keys. It will adjust the kerning (space between the letters) of your text. You can also do that by using this option from the properties panel. Nicely done!

@pliant geyser very nice water effect on the text! My suggestion would be to work a bit with the Coming Soon text, especially on the letter C, maybe reducing the amount of bubbles on the area and/or darken the background a bit. It looks like you have a hard edge on this bubble on the right side, you can easily remove it by playing with its position and rotation. Nicely done 🙂

Challenge #5
bleak fossil
@cunning needle These are all so good! Loving the sort of golden glass look on the beetle. The colors and way the monkey and the ground break the frame of the phone look great! Great designs on the hand effect image too, all very well done!
@round perch Really nice Nathtan, the diamond effect looks good! I think the gold doesn't quite read because it needs more contrast. The step where Jesus adds the gradient on the stroke around the letters as well as the bevel/emboss effect are what is really going to sell that look. You want to make sure you have some fairly deep darks that ramp up to some nice bright highlights like he did. Nice job!
@mild solar Very cool! Some really nice contrast to this, definitely makes it pop. I like the blue shine effect too, adds some interesting color contrast against all the warm yellow. 👍
@dim brook Hah, really nice effect with the dot of the "i". The green color is a really interesting effect too, works with that money theme. This came out well, nice job with the shine of the green area and the flare behind the "i" works really nicely!
@ocean pine Looking good Tracy! I think the lens flare in the background is soft enough, it doesn't read as too harsh to me. I like the subtext at the bottom on this one, it contrasts the boldness of the text at the top and creates a good balance. Well done!
@arctic rover Looking good! I like the texture and sort of rose gold color you got on the stroke. I think you could probably push the gradient effect further into the separation of the darks and lights to really push that metal sheen look. The photo is nice touch too, nicely done!
@daring dock I like the sort of gritty texture against the shine of the smooth metal looking edge on this. The little pop of orange color is really nice tool! 👍

@blazing quail Nice work Ant! The background color adds a lot of interest to this, I like the dynamic sense of movement with the diagonal lines and blurred look draws focus really nicely to the letters. The metal and diamond look came out well!
@young karma Really cool font and texture inside of it, I like it! I feel like maybe the stroke around the letter could even be a touch brighter to contrast even more against the dark background? Looks good!
@oblique sinew These are all looking great! Really cool to see you doing multiple designs for some of these challenges. The skater/phone effects turned out really well, I especially like how the one in the white shirt contrasts so well against the really dark background. It could look nice to blur the left side of the skater in all black a bit to match the focus of the background photo a bit more. Paul did a challenge with this sort of effect on the last set of DCCs. Really nice job on all of these! https://www.behance.net/live/videos/5215/Photoshop-Daily-Creative-Challenge-Blur-Effect
@tardy ridge Naaailed it! Really great job with the backing part of the clothing as well as the brick wall behind her! My only suggestion which could be a bit trick would be to to add a bit of extra shapes to the sweatshirt on the edge where her head was covering. Currently her arms has a bit of a cutout shape where the head was, but if you added in some more natural shapes to what you think that edge of the sweatshirt might look like that could really help push this effect even more. Just a quick paintover, but maybe something like this? Super minor since you did a great job there, but just a thought. Really nice work!

@delicate flintNice job with the composition on the background! I am also a fan of the warped text! Just an optional suggestion: You might play with the gradient colors of the text. You can achieve a nice depth effect by creating a subtle transition from light to dark tones, maybe placing the light tones on the top and the darker ones on the bottom (or even creating kind of a vignette by using dark tones on the top and the bottom and let the light tones be in the middle). If you lose contrast and the focal point you can adjust it by darkening the background a bit so the eyes can go to the text first 🙂
Very nice @round perch! I loved the new tones 🙂

@winter tinsel This came out really well! The border and inside have a nice unified look with the color but the texture separates them nicely. The metal effect looks great. Nice work with the shines too!
@sturdy vault Looking good! The effect came out really nicely, I like the smaller contrasting text below too. It could be nice to get a subtle gradient on the lower text too, not as intense as the top text, but a bit of a sheen could add some interest and tie the two areas of text together nicely. Good job with this challenge!
@calm jay Great job on the golden statue effect! It came out great, really nice metallic effect with those bright highlights, very cool!
@steel ore Haha, I love it. I really like how the colors fit the theme so well. There’s a nice gradient going on but not too metallic or shiny looking which really fits with that coffee color palette. Some great shadow in this text too, nicely done!
@muted coral Very nice, hah. This came out really well. I love the addition of the reflection. It could look nice to give the reflection just a touch of blur as if its reflecting off a shiny floor rather than a perfect mirror, though that depends on what you’re going for. It could also look good to boost the overall brights in this image with an adjustment layer just to push that “pop” of brightness in the shiny gold a bit more. Nice work!
@plain sable Very cool! Really interesting textures going on in this one. The interior of the text is really interesting since it’s made up of diamonds but almost has a rustic look at first glance. Great color contrast between the text and background too. The “Anniversary” text seems a bit cramped in there as it currently is, maybe making a bit more room down below would give it some more space to be positioned normally? Really just depends what you’re going for though. Looking good!
@tropic knoll Nice job CK! Some really nice shine with the gradients on this. I really like the gradient on the interior diamond area, gives it some nice depth. Very nice!
@round perch Nicely done! I like the faded image behind the text, reads very well without distracting from the text. The metallic effect on the letters is looking good as well. My only thought is maybe the outside edge of the text could be toned down, currently it looks a bit cramped without enough space between the letters. Solid work!
@young karma This is looking really cool Vickey! The background texture and logo are working really well. I really like the simple color scheme of this too, looks really nice and cohesive. Nice job!
@regal mica Really cool effect, I like your take on the challenge with this color scheme! The background works really well with the level that you faded it into darkness to, very nice!
@jolly kite Oh wow, you nailed this effect, really nicely done! Great sense of dimension, and the drop shadow really makes it look real. Even the outside stroke resembles the sealed area of a foil balloon. Really impressive work!
@restive wyvern Looking good! I like the offset color effect on this one! My only thought is that it could help to separate the figure from the background since they’re both a very similar value. Maybe darkening down the background slightly could help him pop a bit more. Either way this effect turned out very nicely! 👍
@grim granite Really nice job on the masking and filling in the background! It’s looking really nice and natural. It kind of gives her an interesting camouflage effect with the shape of the arms and face still being there. Looks good!
@sterile berry Really impressive work with the invisible effect challenge! Excellent job with the shirt collar and shoes, and the hat is a really nice touch. Looks great 😄
@pastel spade Loving how this looks like a fancy textured metal at a glance. Really cool idea! I tried it and it works, hah. Really nice metal effect to the shine too 👍
@modern halo Very cool Willi! Liking that color gradient you added to this. Interesting effect with the diamonds too! My only suggestion would be to fix the spacing of the letter a bit. The way the B and L and the N and G touch seems a bit out of place with the spacing of the middle letters. Making it all more uniform spacing may give it a more consistent look. Looking good!

@buoyant nova the gold stroke looks amazing! My only suggestion is on reflection. You can create a faded transition from the area that is touching the type to the bottom of the image. You can use a layer mask with a linear gradient (black to transparent). This will hide the flare reflection and enhance the focal point straight to the "i" dot, kind of like this 👇 Great job Susan!

@hollow yarrow Great job playing with the position of the type, it creates a very balanced effect to the overall image! I loved the background you have applied. My only suggestion would be to brighten the nearby areas of the type a bit more (like a vignette effect) so the background can be more visible and it will enhance the impression that the lights are coming from the text. Awesome work! 🙂

@odd gull Really liking this take on this challenge! I like the almost bioluminescent look of this text, almost like it's glowing against the black background. The little designs around the letters kind of add to that feel. Very nice!
@young karma Very cool! I really like this take on the letting challenge. The interior texture of the text adds a lot of interest and makes for a nice pattern. I feel like perhaps the areas of shine could be a bit brighter to read more as a highlight, but that's a minor note. Liking the uniform size of the two lines of text too, looking good!
@soft maple Really nice effect! It has a sort of refined look to it. Kind of looks like a high end brand without being too flashy due to the more subdued colors and brightness. It might look good to have the gray and black of the background fade into each other a little more gradually for a cleaner look. I like that sort of embossed look the background texture behind the letters gives the image. Nice job!
@autumn granite Really nice job, the coin and portrait effect looks good! It could be nice to give the text the same sort of engraved look the circles have to really make it fit. Nicely done!

@brisk flower looks super cool, Matt! I loved the way manages the adjustments of the subject really well. If you want a little more saturated gold tone, you can darken the overall coin a bit, it's just a personal preference, you don't have to do it 😉
@dim brook how cute! I really like how the dog's hair has a nice texture on the coin. My only suggestion would be to reduce a little bit its scale so there could be more space between the coin's edges and the dog 🙂
Beautiful work @forest aspen! I really like the dark blue tones in the middle of the letters, if you want, you might apply some flares on the highlights to create the shining effect, well done, Marie!
@twilit shore very nice! My only point of feedback would be to brighten the word a bit to create more contrast against the background and make it pop, something like this 👇 Good job!
@odd gull Nice job Helena, I like the texture you applied to the coin. My suggestions would be to reduce the highlights to recover some details like the ornaments around the edges and some areas of the subject. Also you might try to balance some color tones if that's the effect you are going for, of course. 😉 Well done, Helena!

Day 6 Challenge - I had some trouble with this one. Is there a better way to fix the teeth area? My computer wouldn't let me do the second/better method. I couldn't get the channel to show up when I did the lightning effect, so I had to stick with just the emboss effect.

Day 6: No matter what I did, I could not make the created channel show up in the 50% gray layer for lighting effects. I wish we had been able to see Jesus's finished product. So far this challenge, I feel I've been doing a lot of work and spending hours of time for something that doesn't work very well or look good. I've been disappointed.It looks like many people are having trouble making the coins look realistic.

@fallen pebble you can use the ctrl+shift+alt+E to merge the visible layers as a copy, in this workflow you can merge different parts of the coin and apply the effects always with a backup. I like the adjustments you made on the second version, these kind on effects is a lot of fine-tuning processes. Keep going 😉
@eternal mica Loved the tribute, Ted! My suggestion would be to reduce a little bit the amount of circles and working on the space from each other. Also you might position them a little bit more inside the coin. So you won't have any cuts on them 🙂 Well done!

@haughty cape try to reopen Ps and apply again the technique. For the teeth area you can use a small brush in a new layer and pick a sample of a gray tone from a nearby area > choose a low opacity number and paint on the super bright areas. It will remove the distractions and make them more subtle. Be careful for not losing details 🙂

Here is my attempt at today's Custom Currency Challenge... "The Lebowski Dollar"
I might go back and work on the Dude's shapes. I have a newfound appreciation for the people who design and cut the reliefs that are used on coins.
pliant geyser
@sterile berry Well, coins are now sculpted in bas-relief (using clay) by true artistans in a much larger format - like 2 feet across. They are then laser scanned and then converted to CAD images, which are then scaled down to regular coin size and moulds are cut on C&C machines.
@soft arch Not a bad first challenge... I think you need to fade out the reflection though - the farther it gets away from the source it needs to get steadily less sharp and fade away.

@young karma Yep! You're welcome to post any of the current challenges during the 2 week duration of the current DCC. This looks good, really liking the texture you got here. The subtle background face adds some interest as well. I feel like the outside stroke of the text might look good if it was a bit brighter to pop off the background even more, but that just comes down to personal preference. Nice work!
@ivory garden Ooh, really great take on this challenge! I love that interior texture of the text. I wonder if blurring the background would help draw more focus and attention to the patterning in the text, just a thought. Really liking the colors of this!
@silver trench Very cool Vandam, really liking the 3D look to this one! The portrait effect came out nicely too, nice work!
@eternal parrot This is a great photo for this challenge! Really nice job with the socks and legs of the shorts, the subtle lighting looks great. Really liking the album cover idea too, nicely done!
@brisk flower Really cool effect with the engraved look! The text and border of the coin turned out great! I feel like perhaps the portrait area could have a bit more contrast in the dark tones to read a little bit more clearly at a glance. Really like gold sheen to this one!
@south adder Looking good Neil! I like the subtle color gradient to the outside stroke of the text. The diamond pattern turned out nicely as well. I think if you wanted to push the metal effect of the outside stroke getting a bit more contrast between the darks and lights so it ramps up to a bit more of a highlight in the gradient could help. Well done!
@hidden flame Looking good! Really nice job with the clothing, especially the inside area of the collar. Nice strong contrast in this image too, good job!
@eternal mica Really nice Ted! The engraved and embossed effect is looking really good. I like the geometric shape to the coin as well! I feel like a gradient across this coin to add a darker area that ramps up to a brighter area could really help that metallic look. Nice work 😄
@kind ibex You nailed it! Really nice work on this, I love the silver and gold contrast. The whole thing looks really realistic, the texture, the shine, the border pattern, the drop shadow and background, very impressive work!
@soft arch Awesome, welcome on in, glad you could join us! Really loving that inner texture of the text, there's a really great sense of dimension. The shine and gradient of the outside stroke of the letters works really well, and I love the subdued reflection in the ground. Really great color scheme and contrast in this!
@pliant geyser Hah, loving the two tones of this, and the geometric edge is a really cool look. Really nicer work with the shine and depth in this one!
@sterile tinsel Very nice, the two tone effect adds some nice interest! I think getting a little more contrast, especially on the highlights of the portrait and text could really help it read a bit stronger at a glance. The embossed circles around the edge are looking solid 👍
@soft maple My initials! hah. Nice look to this, really interesting heavy texture to the coin. Some nice contrast and shadow to these shapes too. I think a bit of a gradient across the coin could help sell that metallic effect a bit more. Looks good 😄
@muted coral I like it! I like the grainy looking metal texture you added on the coin. There's also some really nice contrast going on between the raised areas and the rest of the coin. It gives it a really nice read at a glance. Very nicely done!
@winter tinsel Ooh, really nice take on this challenge! The ol' wooden nickel. The grain and cracks of the wood are looking really nice, cool effect!
@young karma Very nice! That effect came out really nicely! Really liking the sheen across this coin, and the texture of the portrait looks really good. Nice work on the text and border embossing effect too!

@limber birch Looking good! I really like the light and overall softness to this image. The hand effect turned out really well too. Great contrast in the eyes, really nice focal point to this image. 👍
@tacit condor The texture is looking really good in challenge 6! The embossed effect of the portrait worked nicely, there's some nice contrast between the portrait and the background too. Looks good!
@tropic haven The golden embossed effect turned out really well here, the texture and shine of the gradient really helps sell it nicely! Nice work with the border pattern and text as well!
@clever stump Really nice work applying this effect to so many figures! It works really well with this image. It could be nice to add in the backs of the collars to really sell this effect, but that would also be quite a bit of work, hah. Currently they kind of have that Predator camouflage effect which is kind of cool on its own. Nice work on this!
@regal mica This looks great, really liking the addition of the background element which adds some nice interest. Really nice form and lighting across this coin, the text is looking really solid too!
@oblique sinew Very nice! I like the two different interior patterns your tried for these words. I really like the intensity of the lens flare too, some really nice contrast going on in this image. Well done!
@strong lake Really liking the patterning you added on this coin! Very nice design, the embossed effect came out really well. It could be nice to see a little more contrast in the portrait (specifically in the dark tones) to strengthen the focal point but the whole thing is looking really nice. 👍
@young karma Hah, I love it! Really impressive work with that shield and all the design elements you added in. The texture is looking really solid too. You really nailed that engraved effect and it fits in really well with the original image. Awesome work!
@sterile berry Haha, this is great. The embossed effect and sheen are really helping sell this metal coin look, and the drop shadow is a nice touch. This should be the official currency of Lebowski Con.

I struggled with this one. I had it but the solid coin bugged me. With no detail it was more matt looking. And when I added a more hammered effect, I lost the goldness and the shininess on the helmet. I decided to go with this.

Great job combining the challenges @narrow pendant! I also like how you used a blackletter font to enhance the style.

@mighty linden Very nice job! I like how consistent the colors of the subject and the coins are. Well done!
@young karma you did an awesome job with the challenges, Loved that you played with some textures and an aged look on the invisible effect! My only suggestion would be to fine-tune a little more on the gold effect, maybe recovering some details especially on the shadows. Great job! 🙂

@hidden flame Great job on the fancy text! My suggestion would be to increase the space between the L and the E, so the strokes don't overlap. You can do this by using the selecting the text with the text tool and position the cursor between these two letters, then with alt and the left arrow pressed, increase the space. Also you might increase the brightness of the diamond to add more contrast between it and the background. Nicely done, Monika!
@ocean pine very nice! I like how the coin looks like those commemorative ones. The leaves around the edges are a nice special touch for the composition. Well done!

@ruby panther One miiinor thought, adding a tad bit of perspective on the logos near the top so the top corners are more narrow to appear as if they have a bit of perspective on them to go along with the slope of the upper chest might help it make it that much more realistic.

Great challenge again! I ran into a situation (when don't I?) where it appears the watermark is doubled. I went through each layer and played with it, but that just messed up the actual image. So here is my first attempt (I am going to look for a non-watermarked shirt to work with) and since the Buccaneers don't use stripes, I didn't add any. On my next shirt, I will add highlights. And maybe a logo from my website, instead of the Buccaneers.

@delicate flint Have you tried it more than once? Not sure if it crashes repeatedly or just the one time. That effect was glitched for me at first but worked fine after I updated Photoshop. Not sure if you're using the latest version but if it's crashing repeatedly with that effect that might be worth a shot.

@viral mirage these graphics look awesome! I loved the colors that you used and how they create a nice blend with the texture. My only suggestion is to brighten up the dark tone of the word Rakuten, so it can have a good amount of contrast, especially on the stripes area. Nice job!
Wow @prime temple awesome job! I loved the color palette that you used and how you kept the details of the T-shirt. Impressive work!
@sacred field well done, Marc! The elements on the sleeves are looking very nice, I also like how you applied the displace effect, especially on the letter O. My only suggestion would be to darken a bit more the bottom right part of the A, the area where it is, seems to be darker than the others. This subtle adjustment will help the effect look even more realistic. 🙂

@coral stone At some point I converted all the layers I made the stripes with into a smart object. Once i saved the file, is there a way I can reduce the smart object back to all the underlying layers?
coral stone
@eternal mica if you are working on the CC2020 version you can "ungroup" smart objects by right click on the smart object layer and choose Convert to Layers. Photoshop will bring back your layers inside of a group.
eternal mica
I tried that. The msmart object was released, but I did not retrieve the layers.
coral stone
@eternal mica I see, that's because you might have merged them and then converted into a smart object. In this case the technique won't be possible since it was just one layer when you converted.

Yes, I did all of that. I drew a few lines, then I Ctrl J a number of times, then I merged and Ctrl J another number of times. In order to try and warp the shirt, I merged all the layers. When that didnt work, I made a smart object. Well, I get your point. I will be more careful next time.
coral stone
No problem @eternal mica! One thing that you can do is to select all the lines layers and convert into a smart object, it will merge all of them in a 'non destructive way" always allowing you to go back and convert into layers again 😉

Hi! Fancy Text. I use Pink Tourmaline, Ruby and Emerald
bleak fossil
@calm jay Really nicely done, the skateboarder image is looking good! Nice job on the reflection. I think adding a bit of blur to the reflection might help it look more like it’s reflecting on a wooden table rather than a perfect mirror which might help the effect. The effect with the hands is looking great too, very nice work!
@prime temple Nice! Cool to see you use this challenge to create a whole image design around it. The text seems to fit the look and feel of this theme really well. Really nice work, that strong contrast in the beveled edge of the text works really well!
@zinc elbow These are looking great! I like how the coin has a sort of mirrored finish to it, makes it look really polished. Really nice contrast against the more textured, darker portrait too! The jersey looks great! The logo works really nicely and the displacement effect of the vertical lines came out really well!
@round perch Looking good! The graphics on the jersey are looking nice! I’m not sure if that outline is working really well in my opinion. It seems a bit rough and kind of confuses the edge of the shirt. I think just making the background a separate value or color to contrast the blue of the shirt would look fine. You could even brighten the are behind it if you feel like it doesn’t have enough pop without the outline. Nice work, I like the faded portrait in the back! Seems like that could be a player portrait or something. 👍
@compact pecan Hah, very cool. It’s always fun to see people take the technique of these challenges in a different direction. This is just personal opinion but I think the text could look nice with a darker background red, maybe something like a burgundy. Might look more “serious” and contrast the white/gray of the skulls even more. Nice work with this pattern!
@soft arch Awesome, loving the engraved look of that peacock! It’s working really well, looks a lot like textured gold. I think if you got a bit of sheen across the surface of the coin that could add a bit more dimension. Just a general gradient to add a bit more shadow and highlight across the surface the way they edge seems to have. Really nice work on the emboss and bevel effects!
@tired solstice The engraving effect is looking good! I think a bit of a gradient across the surface of the coin to give it more of a sheen effect could help with the overall coin look. Nice work with text and bevel effects too!
@fallen pebble Hah, interesting, when I think pirates I usually think stripes. This looks good! The logo fits nicely. Not sure why the watermark would be doubled if you’re only using the base image once, that’s odd. The only thing I notice here is the odd bright red in inner part of the sleeve on the right side, and a little on the left sleeve too. Super minor but figured I’d mention it. Nice work, would be cool to see those other designs too!
@dim brook Hah, very nice! I like how you combined these two challenges together. The stripes and text are looking good, they have a convincing graphic print sort of look. Nice job!
@mighty linden Very nice, this Jersey is looking good. The color scheme with the repeating red in the logo and sleeves/collar gives it a nice uniform look. 👍
@soft maple Cool concept for this Jersey! I could see this having text on it as some sort of Nike shirt or something. It could be a nice touch to add a little shadow effect via a multiply layer around the edges of the ball slightly. As if the shirt is overlapping the ball and causing a slight shadow near the edges. Just an idea. Cool design!
@jolly kite Looking good Div! I really like all the additional design elements you added here. Really cool color scheme on the Jersey as well. I feel like it could be nice to boost the brights a bit via a levels adjustment on the jersey, currently it seems a little dark compared to the rest of the design, though that's a fairly minor note. Really nicely done!
@hollow yarrow Always awesome to see what you're coming up with Franck! I really like how distinct you made the looks and color schemes of these two jerseys to contrast each other. I also really like how you seemed to choose a natural element (water and fire) for both. Really great eye catching designs, impressive work!
@chilly hawk Very nice, I really like the additional crystal looking design elements you added in this one with the butterfly and rose! The text came out really nicely! The diamond texture is looking good and the golden bevel has a nice gradient to it to give it that reflective metal look. Very cool!

Challenge #7 Sports Jersey
bleak fossil
@tropic knoll Aw, I love the engraving effect on this one! The duck border around the coin is great too, hah. I think a lot of that nice shine/gradient is had with some of the lighting direction effects. Though I think creating a gradient layer and using different blend modes (like multiply to darken, or color dodge or screen to lighten) could give you a nice sheen across the surface of the coin. Really nice effect, it came out great!
@stable ravine Nice design on this! The shirt graphics are looking good, nicely done. I feel like a slight gradient and a bit of a levels adjustment to boost the brights of the shirt could give it some nice dimension and make it pop a bit more. Good job!
@sterile berry This is great! Really liking the color scheme and design on this one! I think all the designs (text and pattern at the bottom) fit really naturally with the curvature of the shirt, but the PS logo seems like maybe it could bow slightly, just so the top and bottom lines aren't perfectly straight. Though that's a minor nitpick. Really nice design!
@unkempt field Great take on this design! Everything works really well and looks really natural on this shirt. Really great design elements too, did you create these yourself? Either way this turned out very well and looks extremely natural and convincing. Great job 😄
@winter tinsel Awesome to see you taking this design so far, as well as including the back view! The tiger logo graphic seems to deform nicely with the folds of the shirt. Cool design!

I wanted to create something with chocolate, thats why I chose brown, but it did not work, so then I started playing with this butterfly... I had several problems: 1: I did not know, how to make the attacus so small for the chest, that it does not fall into pixels? 2: I have very few experience with fonts and do not like this font, but could not find a better one. Which one could be used for jerseys?
coral stone
This is very creative @inland kiln! Nice to see different approaches with the challenges 🙂
@soft arch that depends on the resolution and the document size you are working with. You can also try to convert the attacus into a smart object before applying any transformations on it. About your question about fonts, there are the Font Packs on the Adobe Fonts website where you can search for different packs to see which one fits better on your composition. Here's the link to it https://fonts.adobe.com/collections. I also encourage you to search for some references and analyze the fonts, this will help you to get started 🙂

@eternal mica instead of merging like that, go to the top most layer and do a copy merged and paste as new layer (I have an action for that since I use it all the time). Now make adjustments to that top layer to try out things. Your originals are still available if needed. Some times I will go grab one of them and drag it on top of my merged copy and then use blend modes.

But I never realized, I should duplicate all along the way and save so that my work up to that point is protected. Your advice is an easy solution. What got me confused was I was trying to transform>warp the shirt. I should have gone back to the tutorial by Jesus when he taught that. I took the lazy way out and it caught me. My mistake.

@bleak fossil I'm still on the jersey from yesterday and wondered what the difference is between layers/adj/levels and adding a levels adjustment from the icon on the layer panel. I know the panel gives you a separate layer but he didn't say WHY not to use that way. So how are they different in practical usage? How do I know which way to use when?
bleak fossil
@primal fulcrum You can create an adjustment layer from the tool bars up top as well as the icon on the layers panel. Two ways of doing the same thing. If I understand your question correctly. Either way it creates an adjustment layer
lethal mural
@primal fulcrum an adjustment layer allows you to work nondestructive. You can make them through the new adjustment layer icon or the adjustment layer panel. They give you a layer mask so that you can selectively reveal or hide the effect.
If you have a smart obeject and going into Edit > Adjustments will also allow you to work nondestructively but you will not have s dedicated layer mask for that particular adjustment.
Without a smart obeject you'll permanently change pixels. And of course, no adjustment layer

Day 7: Shirt mockup. Baby outfit mockup from AdobeStock. The yellow shirt in the top image was done following the many destructive steps in the instruction video. The blue shirt in the bottom image was done using masks, color overlays, and text/image layers using mostly multiply blend mode at a bit less than full opacity. I like the blue one best.

1 of my designs that never sold. I guess "flow" and "fire dancers" was too narrow of a niche. I couldn't seem to get the color of the shirt dark. This was 3 color fill layers blended in order to get it dark enough. I see that I hit the R with the liquify - oh well. someone else usually makes my mockups 🙂
