@eternal mica awesome variations Ted! I like how version 2 and 3 preserved the details on the subject. I also like how they seem to be standing out from the background without losing balance.
About the thumbnail, I absolutely loved the effects, especially that the font is readable without too much going on. Nice job with the consistency of the colors as well 💯

Very nice @wanton badge! I like the details of the text’s frame. This is totally optional, but if you want, you might lower it and create an overlap on the subject’s head using a layer mask. So the text will be able to appear more on the Instagram Feed. Again, this is totally optional, it already looks great!
Awesome image @tropic knoll! Loved how the font style matches the context of the photo as well. Great job! 💯

@coral stone Thank you, I really appreciate your critique. I didnt realize I lost detail in some of the versions. Which color faces do you think I need to improve? Thanks for the comment on the Thumbnail. That image has been one of my favorites of all the projects I created in DCC.

@tropic haven Nice, the color grading kind of gives it a cold look which is really interesting. My only suggestion is that it might be nice to separate the figure from the background a bit more, either in terms of brightness/value or color/hue. It might give the figure a bit more pop. Nice work!
@sudden hawk I like how you made the background colors fit the color scheme from the photo for the video thumbnail, looks good! I wonder if changing the text to be closer to the hue of the stripe on her hat might be a nice way to give the design a bit more unity. A subtle drop shadow might also be nice to help the text read a bit more. Looking good!
Edit: I saw your update, the yellow text is a nice change!
@runic wing Very cool! The bold colors really give it some strong contrast and kind of gives it a black light/neon lighting effect. Really nice contrast between the colors in the background and the dinosaur too 👍
@fringe sun Really cool illustrated style on this image! I'm often thinking about how to format my content a bit different for Instagram, definitely good to know! I feel like maybe lowering the text a few notches could balance the space at the bottom a bit. Nice work and cool texture 😄
@mild wasp Looking good! I really like the boldness of this image with the complimentary colors. Very nice stylized effect, well done.
@queen dew The duotones are looking good! Really nice contrast between the figure and the background. I like how light the shadows are on the figure, really gives it a bright high key look. Great contrast in this design 👍
@untold iron This looks great! The style and color of the text compliments the photo really well. The bold purple splatter texture at the bottom works well with the yellow text and the gradient transition into the photo works really well!

@mossy hazel Looks good! Nice work on the shadow effects and compositing all these together. Though this design might be more suited towards the #📝project-feedback section if it's not for the current series of DCC challenges. Nice work!
@young karma Very nice, I like how it fades into black around the edges to fit that Instagram formatting in a natural way! Really cool work with the rainbow coloring too, hah. Really gives the image an interesting bold pop of color!
@vale sandal This is looking great! With that said this might be more suited to the #💎past-challenge section if this was from a previous set of DCCs. Really great style though, really love how you used that illustrated look to give it a natural blend with all the splatter effects. I especially like what you did with the splatter texture around the ends of the hair. Really cool look to this!
@ruby panther Nice work Shawn, this one works really well with the Instagram style format! The text has some really nice contrast as well. I wonder if it could look good to take the more purple hue of the fireworks and shift the text closer to that away from the more sky blue color. Just a thought, might give the design a nice cohesive feel. Nice work 👍

@young karma Nice job, this looks good, also great to see the photos you used with it! This is really just personal preference, but I wonder if giving the background a slight blur might help focus the eye on the inner design a bit. There seems to be a lot of texture in the images overall and I wonder if that might balance it a bit. Just an idea. Nice job making the color scheme cohesive with the whole design 😄
@sharp hedge This image works really well for this kind of format! I wonder if moving the text towards the upper part of the image might balance out this design a bit more and give the figure a bit more focus? Cool styling on this photo 👍
@supple ledge Super cool! Really great to see both formats here and how it was adapted to the IGTV format. This works really well for both formats, and the design itself is awesome. Great colors and shapes. Really nice blend between the photo and graphic elements here. Impressive work!
@brisk spear Formatting looks good! The double exposure effect between the animal and background is a nice effect too. And the orange lettering makes for a really nice pop of color, nicely done!
@bronze bluff Very cool! Really great bold color contrast here. That along with the out of focus background really make her a strong focal point. Though I wonder if boosting her dark tones (while leaving the background alone) with a levels adjustment might add some nice additional contrast and pop to the image. Nice job!
@low garnet Looking good! Always nice to see color variations of these options. The color shift in the original design is looking great too, really natural color change!
@tropic knoll Awesome to see you using your own photo! Really nice cohesive look between the sand dollar and text colors. Really great contrast to this image as well. This works really nicely in this format. 👍
@eternal mica Very nice! It's always good practice to see how you can make the same design fit various formats. Looks good, I like the extended background!
@wanton badge I really like what you did with the colors in this one! The way the graphic box at the top matches her shirt looks great. This whole design works really well for the vertical style IGTV format. Nicely done!

@little root Glad you liked, thank you so much for sharing your work! Very nice colors, Aisha! I really like how they contrast really well. My only suggestion, and that’s just a personal preference, is that you might add a bit more of contrast to the subject’s layer.

@young karma ooo the texture here is great! i think the outlined text for "analog photo" is a good choice! since there's so much going on in the background, i think you could get away with simple text for "fotostudio-eindhoven presents" i.e i don't think you need the duplicate of the text behind. it makes it a liiiittttle difficult to read. i think the duplicate text works for analog photo because it's outlined and set apart from the background
@deep mango nice edit! I like how you lowered the saturation a bit. the background is much less distracting now
@obtuse spruce simple and clean design! nice job
@lean badger i like your bold design choice here - diagonals are a great way to make a composition more dynamic. however, i think the fact that the title covers most of the photo is a little distracting - i want to be able to see the photo so i know what the video is going to be about. maybe you could shrink the text a bit and have it running diagonally across the top 1/3 of the design? just so we can also see the photo, too 🙂
@unborn prism this design has great hierarchy! it's clear where i should look first (the scary virus!) and then second (the yellow text in the top left corner). i think the "stay at home" icon could be just a liiiiitttttle bit smaller to keep it from competing with the text in the top left
@covert loom cool composite! to finish out, i would work on cleaning up the blue color around the right side of the island. also, i would add a little more room on the left side of the composition - right now the island edge is a bit too close to the edge of the frame
@slim niche cool! the text stands off of the background pretty well because of the drop shadow. the bottom edge of "WASTE" hits a little too close to the edge of the box IMO
@sand lichen cute! is that your pup? since it's a cover image, i might increase the size of the "agility training" text so the viewer quickly knows what they're about to watch. the "challenge your dog" text is a cool tagline, but it's a little difficult to read without some sort of drop shadow or stroke
@magic rampart nice submissions! keep up the great work 🙂
@tacit condor cool! the text reads pretty well on top of the BG. i might even lighten the color juuuust a bit more - but that's a nit pick
@gilded flame love the text coming out of the window! I personally don't think you need the shadow at the top - the design and text is clear without it
@queen geode very cool!!!!! turning the lights on and off as an animation would be sweeeeet
@queen dew cool template! the text at the bottom is just a tad difficult to read - i think it's because it's overlapping both light and dark areas
@fringe harness no worries about being late! we're not grading you 🙂 i like this color palette and design idea. just be careful that all of the important design details fall within the "safe space" (a 1:1 square)

@young karma nice job making the text legible on top of the photo.

@buoyant nova Very nice job boosting the cool tones, Susan! The saturation values are looking even, bringing even more consistency for the subject and the background. Nicely done!
@hallow sedge Well done, Pedro! I like how you added more assets to give an ambient to the scene. If you can, please upload the original image of the subject, that would be easier to see your adjustments 🙂 You might increase the realism of it by creating a color balance adjustment layer for the subject and add more blue and cyan tones for its shadows, midtones, and highlights, since he is placed on an atmosphere that these colors are predominant, naturally he would start to reflect the same tones. You can also use the same technique for the rocks near him. Let me know if you need any help 🙂 Abraço!

This is great @eternal mica! Loved the edits that you made, especially how it looks like it was a combination of multiple images. I also like that you added some shadows. One thing that you can do is set their blend modes to Multiply. if they are already in Multiply, you can try to darken the gray areas just a bit more, so they will look darker but won’t lose its transitions. I'll give you a link to a video from Jesús, where he teaches how to use the 3D features to create realistic shadows (I know that you like to use the 3D in Photoshop, so I thought you might enjoy it).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ7UAzFv17c Awesome job!
@north ridge very cool edits! I also like the solid color version, it seems like it has kept the shadows and highlights better. If you want the same effect on the Gradient Map, you can fine-tune the sliders and the colors for the shadows, midtones, and highlights, playing with the bigthness of them. It takes more work but gives you more control. Excellent job! 💯
Lovely work @little root! Loved the tones on the background of your thumbnail! My only suggestion would be to reduce the white glow behind text just a bit, so the viewers won’t be distracted by it. You don’t need to remove it, just reduce the opacity or position it closer to the text, this way you won’t lose contrast.
Great job playing with the posture with the puppet warp too as well! He looks like he is jumping from one area to another.
eternal mica
@coral stone WOW, the Multiply BM made a huge difference. It brought the shadows to life and made the whole image pop. I had to re-do some erasing to increase the fade effect. Thank you for that advice. That tutorial by Jesus is one of my favorites. I think Ive watched it 3 times already. I think Im ready for #4. Its a lot like what he's doing in the current DCC, where he explains the technicalities behind the processes, so that we can understand what we're doing.

This is super cool @queen dew! Did you use a gradient map for the background? I loved the blue tones of it. Perhaps you might add a shadow to the subject, just the enhance the realistic look of it. You can use the original image as a reference. 👇 😉
Loved that you used the pixel stretch effect @tacit condor! I like that although this is an effect it has created a nice sense of movement for the image. Awesome work!
This is looking very nice @sacred field! I like that you added a snake creating a story for the scene. I also like the color adjustments you made to the image giving warmer tones to it. Well done!
Very nice @split pier! Don’t worry, it was looking a bit darker ;)
Loved the thumbnail, my only suggestion is a personal one: If you are promoting a brand, you might make the product labels more visible. For that, you can position the image a little higher and the text lower (be careful about the Instagram feed cropping the text). Well done!
Super cool work @tropic haven! I loved how you played with the puppet warp, the dog seems to be climbing some stairs. I like that you cared about his head position to enhance this impression. Great job!
Nice photo @deep mango! I like the subtle adjustments that you made. This would turn into a great gif 😉
Loved the new background @arctic rover. The new posture makes me think that the statue just woke up hah. Great job as always!
Nice results @compact pecan! If you want to move just the wings without moving the arm, you can create some extra pins on the arm so it will prevent that this area to move when you apply the distortion with the puppet warp. Well done!

@buoyant nova Nice work Susan, this adds some really nice contrast and vibrancy and still looks really natural. It definitely gives the image a bit more pop. Nicely done 👍
@hallow sedge Really nice! I love how far you pushed this image with the background and compositing different items on him. Also very cool to see how far you pushed the pose with the leg all the way back. The back leg does look like it got a little distorted, I feel like using the Liquify tool to push the lower shin area a touch towards the right of the image might straighten out that shin bone and look more natural. Really nice work with this one!
@untold iron Very cool! The posing change is looking solid. The only thing I notice is the warping seems to have either shortened the thigh or elongated the lower part of the leg on the right side. I feel like if you selected the whole leg and moved the knee slightly down and to the right it would even out the proportions a bit. Looking good!
@young karma Nice work, I really like how far you pushed this pose! Kind of make it looks like he’s running through the finish line at the very end of a race, really leaning into it. The only suggestion I would have would be to use the Liquify too to push the top of his thigh on the right up a bit to round it out. Currently it's sinking inward a bit, and the top of muscular thighs should be rounded outward a bit as you can see in the original image. Might make it look a bit more natural. Nice work!
@indigo monolith Cool photo for this one! I like the idea of really pushing the curve of the spine like you did. I think her legs look a little warped because the lower part of the calf right above the ankle is bowed where it should be more straight. If you used the Liquify tool to push that area down a bit it might look more natural. It also looks like her legs and feet area got a bit distorted. Not sure if this happened during the masking or warping process? Either way the effect is looking good, nice job 😄
@eternal mica Nice ted, cool to see you combining these images! Also very cool to see how far you pushed these poses. I think the Liquify tool could do a lot of good to fine tune some of the distorted areas. Such as the thigh on the left side of the very left figure, making the top of her thigh rounded out instead of sinking inward, and pushing down the back of her arm on the right side a bit. You could probably also use it to get rid of that pinch point at the elbow in the center figures arm on the right side. But overall it’s looking really solid, nicely done!
@north ridge Really cool to see these different variations of the Day 2 challenge! Always great to explore different approaches like this. I think gradient maps have a lot of potential and power, but they can also drastically change the values of an image so they can be a bit tricky. I definitely like the contrast that is maintained in the solid color image, though the soft contrast of the gradient map image with the green background has a really cool stylized look in its own right. It seems fitting for something that drastically stylized. Nice job!
@little root Looks good! My only suggestion is I think with all the vertical room available it might look to separate the dog and the text a bit more. I also think content aware fill could fix the background seam on the left pretty nicely, and any touch ups could be done with the clone stamp or even a soft round brush. Nice work!
@queen dew Very nice, good work with the puppet warp and posing! The two different backgrounds are cool to see, it could be interesting to tweak the color grading of the runner in the first one to make the lighting on his front side cool instead of warm. The only real suggestion I have with the runner is the dip in his stomach looks a bit unnatural. Maybe using the Liquify tool to push it outward slightly would give it a more natural shape. Just some thoughts. Good job 😄
@cold oyster Really interesting take on this challenge! I like the trippy sort of repetition of the image, the alternate color really helps it contrast and stay readable. The only thing I might suggest would be that you could clean up the mask on his forearm a bit. Really cool style to this design!
@young karma Impressive work! You did a great job with the puppet warp here. I think the big difficulty is keeping the posing looking natural and these all look really solid! Really nice use of the ball placement to mix it up too, nicely done!
@covert loom The day 1 challenge is looking good, nice work on boosting up the vibrancy of the whole image! It has some really nice contrast and pop against the background. I kind of feel like the pants could probably be a bit toned down, the saturation is bordering on unnatural looking, and toning it down might also help keep the focus on the face. Looks good!
bleak fossil
@fluid wharf Challenge 3 and 4 are looking really good! I Challenge 4 is looking really solid, I'm impressed how far you pushed the bottom pose and still kept it believable and natural looking. I assume the blurred stroke around the image on the right was a stylistic choice, and if so it might help if it was a bit more apparent around the whole figure to make it look more consistent. It could also be nice to see a little more of the face gradually blend into the forest scene in the double exposure image. Kind of a more gradual transition that shows a bit more of the portrait. Just some general thoughts, great work!
@north ridge Really loving that motion blurred effect for Day 4, really nice idea! The adjustment of the back leg and dipping of the head between each frame really gives it a great sense of motion. Very nice!
@plain sable Very nice, is this challenge 4 for a previous DCC? Either way it's really cool to see how you turned this into a poster style design. The contrast of the dark figure against the light background has a really strong silhouette that works well. It might be cool to give the text a little outer glow to match the flame in her hands, and maybe even boost the flames on the text up a bit with something like a color dodge layer to give it more of a glowing look. Nice work!

Lovely work @little root! Loved the tones on the background of your thumbnail! My only suggestion would be to reduce the white glow behind text just a bit, so the viewers won’t be distracted by it. You don’t need to remove it, just reduce the opacity or position it closer to the text, this way you won’t lose contrast.
Great job playing with the posture with the puppet warp too as well! He looks like he is jumping from one area to another.
@coral stone Appreciate your feedback.... will try to work on your feedback.
@little root Looks good! My only suggestion is I think with all the vertical room available it might look to separate the dog and the text a bit more. I also think content aware fill could fix the background seam on the left pretty nicely, and any touch ups could be done with the clone stamp or even a soft round brush. Nice work!
@bleak fossil Appreciate your feedback.... will try to work on your feedback.

This is super cool @queen dew! Did you use a gradient map for the background? I loved the blue tones of it. Perhaps you might add a shadow to the subject, just the enhance the realistic look of it. You can use the original image as a reference. 👇 😉

indigo monolith
@indigo monolith Cool photo for this one! I like the idea of really pushing the curve of the spine like you did. I think her legs look a little warped because the lower part of the calf right above the ankle is bowed where it should be more straight. If you used the Liquify tool to push that area down a bit it might look more natural. It also looks like her legs and feet area got a bit distorted. Not sure if this happened during the masking or warping process? Either way the effect is looking good, nice job 😄
@bleak fossil thank you Sam. I agree that the lower leg got distorted in the warping phase. I couldn’t seem to get it back to normal, but I can definitely try using the liquify tool.

@eternal mica Nice ted, cool to see you combining these images! Also very cool to see how far you pushed these poses. I think the Liquify tool could do a lot of good to fine tune some of the distorted areas. Such as the thigh on the left side of the very left figure, making the top of her thigh rounded out instead of sinking inward, and pushing down the back of her arm on the right side a bit. You could probably also use it to get rid of that pinch point at the elbow in the center figures arm on the right side. But overall it’s looking really solid, nicely done!
@bleak fossil Sam, thanks for that critique. Its going to sound strange but, Im happy to get that from you. To me, receiving that level of critique means Im making real progress. I "liquified" the areas you pointed out, and a couple of other small tweaks I thought could use it. How do you like it now?

@safe ledge - - You can only undo a few times, to delete an individual pin you can select it and press delete or hold alt and click the pin. However, sometimes this may change adjustments made to nearby pins.
coral stone
@soft arch loved your cover! Red and White colors turned out into a great combination. I also like the cyan style of the text which helps to match the dark blue frame and the Photoshop logo. Well done!
Very nice @young karma! Loved how the blur enhances the movement of the subject. Here's one thing that you might try for the lightings on the one from the left: You can use the puppet warp tool to warp it around the subject kind of enhancing the energetic movement that it already has. Just an idea, of course 😉
Great colors @buoyant nova! I loved how the subject has some gold tones with high contrast, preserving the shadows and highlights. The blue tones on the background were a great choice to make the subject stand out from it as well.
Day 3 is looking very consistent! The organic lines from the text match the blue muted tones of the thumbnail really well. Nicely done!
@gilded flame this is super cool, Nadia! I like how the subject on the left seems to be crossing the finish line. My only nitpick would be to refine the layer mask on this area of the hand 👇 (you can use a very small brush with black as your foreground color). It will make the edges look even more consistent throughout the subject. Well done! 👍

Day 04
compact pecan
@compact pecan Really liking the sort of dark psychedelic look of the cover image! Also really cool to see you really pushing the colors so drastically in the first day’s challenge. My only thoughts are that I think the colors almost seem a little separated from each other. I wonder if a subtle cooling photo filter or some kind of cool color lookup could give everything a slightly cool tint to make it fit the scene and unify the colors a bit more. Maybe even darkening him down to fit the lighting of the scene a touch (even if it’s just around the lower half) could help too. Just some thoughts, nice work!
@bleak fossil I tried LUTs but they were a bit drastic, so I applied a cooling filter and darkened it a little, and then applied a levels adjustment with a vector mask with gradient to darken the pants but not the top. Do you think this looks more realistic or the colors less separated from each other? Thanks again for the advice!

@blissful wolf Looks good! Really natural adjustment on this Day 4 challenge. The color shift adds an interesting feel too. I think there's a super slight white halo around the figure on the right, but that's super subtle. Nice work!
@cerulean beacon Looking good jane! I like the different color variations on Day 2, the first two have a really interesting stylized look. My only suggestion is I think the saturation on the Day one design could be tweaked down just a bit. The colors are bordering on unnaturally saturated. Though the overall boldness and added contrast is looking good 👍
@fringe harness Very nice! The posing changes for Challenge 4 are looking good! Nice job with the color shift as well. The only thing I notice is the foot on the left side looks like it was lost a bit in the masking process. The quality of the edited image also seems noticeably more fuzzy, but not sure exactly what would have caused that unless it was scaled down. Nice work 😄
@blissful wolf Day 2 and 3 are looking good! Nice color contrast going on in both of them. Gives both images a really strong focus. I like the more subtle yellow/orange tint in the Day 2, gives him a fairly natural look while still having strong contrast. Nice work!
@safe ledge Very nice! It gives the image an interesting, slightly stylized look which seems to work well with this image. The sort of red/green tones create a lot of nice contrast too. Looks good!
@young karma Nice work! I really like how you warped the logo to fit the sphere of the moon. It could be nice to make the "Creative Challenge" text the same shade of red to give the whole image a nice unity and balance to the color on both sides of the image.
@compact pecan Yeah, that's looking good! Definitely seems to fit more into that scene with the adjusted lighting.
The Day 3 effect is looking really solid too! I really like how you added the glitch effect to the title text as well as the text. The tv and text color create a nice unity too, really has some nice contrast against the white background. 👍

Awesome improvements @queen dew! The PM are looking great, especially the way that you played with some missing parts and gave the edges a “broken” style. The M is definitely more readable now and I like how it has contrast. Maybe you might reduce the opacity of the drop shadow just a touch so it can be more subtle but still able separate the M from the background. Just a thought 😉 great job!

@little root Glad you liked, thank you so much for sharing your work! Very nice colors, Aisha! I really like how they contrast really well. My only suggestion, and that’s just a personal preference, is that you might add a bit more of contrast to the subject’s layer. For that, you can use a levels or a brightness and contrast adjustment layer. Let me know if you need any help 😉 Can’t wait to see more of your works!
@coral stone Could you please help me understand how to make the suggested change, thanks
coral stone
Just saw your day 2 😃 @slender moat it’s looking pretty nice. Maybe you could recover the contrast on the background, especially the highlights, for that, you might fine tune the white point color (if you used a gradient map adjustment layer).

Great work @tacit condor! The pieces are looking very consistent. The subtle diagonal lines add a great context to the composition. Nicely done!
Nice approach @hot thicket! If you want to take a step further, you can play with displacement maps to enhance the effect that the words are wrapping the rock. Also, if you want a engraved style you can play with bevel & emboss. This is totally a personal suggestion, of course 🙂 Good job!

This is amazing @iron flicker. Loved the circular shape and the splatters on the sides, how did you add them? The text is looking great as well. My only suggestion would be to fine tune the contrast of it just a bit, maybe a drop shadow on the text or some lighting adjustments on the background would be great.

Beautiful composite @lean badger! I really like the color grading of your image! Just a few points of feedback:
- You might boost the contrast of the wolf, so the shadows and highlights will look more consistent with the one of the subject and the background. If you need help, you can create a 50% Gray (#505050) Solid Color adjustment layer on the Color blend mode. This will make your image black & white, allowing you to see just the luminosity values removing the distraction of the colors. Then you can analyze the darkest and lightest points of the background and with a Levels (it can be Curves) adjustment layer clipped to the wolf's layer establish the same values on it adjusting the sliders.
- You can use a brush to create an occlusion shadow on the paws from the back so it will help you to sell even more the realism of your image. There is a link on #🔨resources for a stream that Sam did a few weeks ago, where he shows how to create shadows (You might check the basketball ball example).
Keep creating, Yazan, you're doing great!
Loved the black and white composition @slow stirrup! The edges are looking very nice and I like how the high contrast of the image matches really well the overall composition. Well done!
Nice job @chilly hawk! I like the gradual movement that you made with the puppet warp 🙂
@untold iron woow this turned out great! I loved how you created a 3D style on the words. The edges are looking awesome as well. My only nitpick would be to align the texts to the center, right now they look a bit more to the right 😄 Excellent work!
@little root you're doing great, Aisha! I loved the effect on the edges of the letter. I also like how the shadows seem to have a darker tone from the fill of the letter. Super cool job!
This is looking pretty nice @sweet fern. I like how you played with the effect on the edges in the same time as you preserved the readability of the letters. The hard shadow enhances the high contrast against the background, adding even more depth to the image. Great job!

Daily Challenge 200727 - Stone Text Effect
@young karma wow this looks so good
bleak fossil
@gilded flame The longer stride of the legs and the lean of the figure are looking good! Looks really natural. The only suggestion I’d have is that because the front leg is lower down than the back leg it makes it appear as though it must be closer to the camera. Which would mean it’s crossing over in front of their body to the other side. If that makes sense. To fix it you’d just want to make the area directly below the feet where they would connect the ground to be lined up horizontally like in the original. Also nice work with the shadows as well!
@uneven grove Really interesting stylized colors in this! It’s an interesting mix of realistic and bold/neon colors. I like the effect in the hair, nice work!
@blazing quail Very nice! The irregular shape of the edges of the stone is looking good. It could be cool to make the drop shadow from the text match the lighting of the rock a bit more. Maybe have the shadow a little lower to the right and maybe give it a harder edge to mimic the shadows that direct sunlight would have. Just a thought. Good job with this design!
@queen dew I think the angular shadows in Jesus’ image work well, but it would be interesting to see this design with more of a soft edge transition instead of the small sharp edges, I think that might fit this rounded rock surface a bit more. The PM looks really cool too, Kind of liked broken letter tiles.These are interesting images to try it with, nice work!
@slender moat Very cool, better late than never, we still have a whole week to go. This is looking good, the Day 1 design definitely gives the image a bit more boldness and contrast. I like the stylized look to the Day 2 design as well. Looks good 👍
@bold valley Really interesting, is this a gold texture of some kind? It’s a bit hard to identify the texture, I think because it seems so zoomed in. Maybe if it wasn’t so close up the texture would read a bit more clearly. Either way it’s a really cool effect, nice work!
@tacit condor Really cool idea for the Day 5 challenge! The bevel works really well to complete the tiled rock effect along the outside edge. Looks really convincing, nice job cutting out the shape of the stones!
@plain sable This turned out really well! I love the texture and color of this rock. The soft bevel edge works really well with the particular texture too since it seems a bit smoother. Well done!
@iron flicker Really cool idea! Loving all the texture on here. Great job with the shadows to give this a convincing spherical effect. I wonder if it could look good to add more of a fisheye perspective on the text by making the top and bottom bow outwards a bit. Could be a cool effect along with the perspective of the sphere. Great work!
@sacred field The Day 5 rock effect is looking really good! Very nice sense of dimension with the bevel, and the jagged part of the rock add an interesting organic look to it. Nicely done!
@young karma Nice work, challenge #5 is looking very nice! I like how the sheen on the letters almost makes them look wet. Kind of gives it an interesting metallic look too. I really like the water background and how you made the ripples match the letters. Kind of like it’s part of some fancy fountain. Very nice job!
@lean badger Nice composite with this image! The color grading does a nice job of making them match. I think you could have probably composited the rock in front of the back foot of the wolf too just to keep that element that’s hiding it in a natural way. It almost might help to blur the cast shadows just a touch, and lower the opacity slightly. The light coming into that forest would be a bit more distilled due to the trees which would create softer shadows. Those are more the kind of shadows you would see in direct bright sunlight. Nice work!
@slow stirrup This texture for Day 5 is looking really good! There seems to be a bit of a bevel effect on the top edge a little, but I think it would add a lot of dimension if there was a noticeable bevel effect on the rest of the edges, especially the lower right hand area where the shadows would be. It might also help to change the background to something not so similar to the color and values of the text, maybe a cooler bluer tones rather than the warm grey. Just some thoughts, nice job!
@chilly hawk Oh wow, I’m surprised how far you were able to push this and still keep a natural look to it! Nice job getting a convincing curve in the back and stomach area. Looks good!
@untold iron Day 5 is looking solid! Really great texture and edge to this letter. The bevel and hard edges cast shadow really fit this nicely as well. Kind of makes me think of some Land of The Lost or dinosaur related title to a show or something. This turned out well!
@naive mural Nice, the shadow of the bevel effect seems to match the rest of the rock well. The natural edge turned out well too. Nice work 😄
@young karma I love how you handled the lighting in this design! Really cool idea to take a photo of a rock in the sun and turn it into a spot light effect in a dark room. The cast shadows, background, and ground plane really sell it. Very nicely done!
@winter tinsel Great idea! This is looking really cool, I especially like how you animated the water as well. It could be interesting to try pushing the hair further to sort of mimic the strong with on the cloth, but you'd just have to see how far you can push it while still keeping it natural. Really cool!
@vernal ice Ooh, great effect how you made the edges fit with the individual scales. It really makes for a natural and convincing looking shape. Really great sense of dimension on this with the lighting on the texture too. Nice work!
@eternal mica Really interesting graphic style to this lettering with the hard edges and angles. Really liking the color and texture! I think the cast shadows look cool as a graphic element, but to really make them read as a shadow it could help to soften them slightly with a blur, and maybe even adjust the color to be more towards a cooler blue-grey tint rather than a more warm sort of tan. Either way the design is looking cool!

Redo on Day 1 Polishing portraits, cause I took the first one in an unintended direction and wanted to get the workflow down correctly. My curves adjustment layer in impacting the background more than the example in the video. Is this solely because I'm adjusting the curves more or did I miss a step isolating this adjustment to the person?

@eternal mica For sure! I don't think I mentioned complimentary colors, but if I did I might have misspoke. I just use a cooler color than the surface the shadow will be on. The easy way I achieve this is typically by using a multiply layer with a desaturated purple tone. That will essentially cool down any color you put it on. So the shadow of an orange ball (in warm light) will be slightly closer to red, a green ball might be slightly more towards the blue hues, etc. But using a multiply layer with a purple/blue tone will achieve this more or less on any color. As long as the light source is warm, if it's a cool light source then the shadows will be warmer. Warm light=cool shadow, Cool light=warm shadow.
If you're curious about any more I did a mentor lesson on Discord about how I use shadows about a month ago which can be found here. https://www.behance.net/videos/48e9e392-eadc-4c68-aaa6-712852ccae32/Photoshop-Mentor-Session-Shadows
@slow stirrup Very nice, I personally like the second one as well. It seems to read a bit better against the background. Looks good!
@ruby panther Really interesting texture for Challenge 5 here! I like the coloration. The texture and sharp edges almost kind of reminds me of coral a bit. The bevel effect gives it some nice dimension and the edge gives it a really organic look. Nice job!
@glacial minnow Very nice Sue! The texture on this P turned out really nice. The bevel effect turned out well too. I like the added texture to the background and how you kept a lot of contrast on the letter, nicely done!

@slow stirrup Oh, whoops, I missed that third post. I meant the second one of the 2 gradient images you posted. Honestly I like the 2nd gradient image and the flat color about the same. Either one works quite well. Maybe even something between them with a subtle gradient? I always like gradients as they seem to add a nice sense of dimension. Both read quite well so I think it just comes down to personal preference. 👍
@young karma Really great job on this whole design and arrangement! Really cool presentation. Both the stone texture and dimension in the beveled effect turned out great. There seems to be a bit of a cast shadow from the text onto the grass which is a great touch. Great work!
@unborn prism This turned out so well! Really great edge on the letter, it has a really nice sense of 3D form. The way you composited it into the base at the bottom looks great too. Really nice work with the cast shadow on the ground and the ambient occlusion shadow under the base. Overall really nice read and contrast against the background. Impressive work!
@shy bobcat Looking good Pam! I like the bright sort of orange-blue color scheme this Day 5 challenge has. The letters contrast nicely against the background. That's also a really cool texture for the letters, kind of a smoother more marble-like surface. My only thought is I feel like the shadow area of the bevels could be a bit darker, but that's really just personal preference. Well done 😄
@unkempt field The texture and natural edge came out really well on this Day 5 rock challenge! The beveled edge looks good and adds some nice dimension to it. 👍
@cold oyster Really cool texture effect on this text! The gritty broken up areas seem to work well thematically. It could be cool to see how it looks with the bevel effect increased a bit more, just to see if the added dimension works well with this style. The colored text contrasts really nicely against the greyscale background too!

Nice job @young karma! Loved how you created a composition for the letter. It. If you want to blend the elements even more, you can use some splatter brushes from Kyle’s set with a very small size, and then paint with black on the layer mask to make the bottom area of the elements look like they are covered by sand. Also, you might apply the same technique to Wall-E and add a shadow to it as well as you did to the letter. Feel free to tag me if you need any help 🙂

@fickle garden this is awesome! Loved the image fill of the words, it reminds me of a planet surface which makes it matches the spacial background image context really nicely. My only nitpick on it is that it looks a bit blurred, if the image was already like this, you might try to add a sharpening on it with an unsharp mask (Filter > Sharpen > Unsharpen Mask). Be careful not to add some halo to the image, the sliders are very sensitive 😉 Just a suggestion, of course 🙂 Great job!
Great improvements @iron flicker! The text is definitely more readable now! 💯

Beautiful work @trail field! I like the night from day adjustments you made. The snow indicates that it just started falling. My only suggestion would be to play with the spread of the lights a little more, you can increase the spread of them according to the way that they are moving away from the source (window). If you want, you can also add a gradual blur on it 😉 Great job!
@unreal vessel very nice job! I like how you played with the opacity gradually increasing, this enhances the movement feel of the subject. I also like the color adjustments you made, turning the warm scene into a cold one. Well done!

@bronze bluff good job, Diaz! Really like how some edges seem to match the areas of the image clipped, where there are rocks, the edge is irregular. The blue background also adds a nice context to the composition as well. 👍

@sacred field very nice work, Marc! I like the motion blur that you added to the snow, I also like that you made some of them thicker and others thinner.

@buoyant nova The texture with the S is looking good! Really nice contrast against the background too. Not sure if you added the bevel effect but I think it could add a bit more dimension to give the rock a more solid blocky feel. Looks good!
@young karma Really great solid 3D effect to this letter for challenge 5! I think to help that buried in sand effect it might be better to have a more solid edge where the sand meets the objects instead of the softer airbrushed looking edge. If you find reference images of things buried in sand there's a pretty clear seam, and adding a little shadow on the sand below if needed might help too. Just an idea. I like the presentation of this challenge in an environment, nice job!
@south adder Very cool! I like how far you took this challenge with the environment and all the elements. I just have a couple suggestions. 1) would be to make a harder and more clear edge where the letter meets the water instead of the softer fade. If you look up reference of an object like a boat in water there's a pretty clear separation between the water and boat and the reflection starts right where they meet. 2) it might help to unify the contrast a bit. The dark tones on the N are much lighter than the astronaut, even though the two elements look close to each other and therefore should have similar contrast. The mountains in the back on the right side have deeper contrast than the N even though they are further back and would be more affected by atmospheric perspective. Unifying that contrast might help it fit together a bit more naturally. Just some thoughts, really nice work putting all this together!
@chilly hawk This is looking good! The edges of the PS text turned out nicely. Really nice sense of dimension to this, and the rock texture fits the environment well. My only suggestion is that some cast shadows underneath the letters might help set it in the scene a bit more. Looks good!
@tropic knoll Looking good! I like the horizontal lines in the roof to show the shingles a bit. I kind of wonder if a cooling photo filter to give everything a slightly cooler tone might unify the colors and give it more of a cold feel. Nice work on this!
@naive mural Nice work, the snow effects on the roof and ground are looking good! I like the sort of cool color tint the image seems to have. The falling snow is a nice addition as well!
@vernal ice I think a soft diffused shadow under the lifeguard tower could look good. Especially if it’s a fairly cool blueish shadow like you often see in the snow. I think you could try and get some pop in the foreground by giving the image a sort of subtle cool blue tint and maybe masking out the lifeguard tower and foreground if you want to get a little color contrast from the background. Really great effects with the snow on the ground and falling in the sky, it really transforms the image in a dramatic way!
@tropic haven Really nice job, the snow on the roof is looking really good! I like how far you pushed the snow effects in the rest of the scene too. My only suggestion would be to maybe lower the opacity of the effect on the background a little, or even try another blending mode, just so you can retain some of that value and form in the trees and everything. Without the shadows and highlight information of the environment everything kind of turns into a uniform texture. It could also help to blur/soften the snow texture in the background just a touch too to give a sense of depth. Just some ideas. Really nice job!
@vague swift Nice job Janet! If you wanted to push the effect even further I think darkening down the sky so we can see the snow on the roof a bit more clearly would help. It might also look good to add some patches of snow on the ground, and I think giving the whole image a cool blueish tint via a photo filter layer or something like that could help. Just some ideas to really sell that winter/snowy effect. Nicely done!
@young karma Great image for this challenge! I really love the light textured snow you did for the cabin’s roof. The way you separated the color of the river from the rest of the scene a bit looks good too. I wonder if giving the sky back a bit more of its blue and giving the overall design a slightly cool tint (via something like a photo filter) might add to that cool winter feeling. Very nice work 😄

@ruby panther this is beautiful! The saturation adjustments made a huge difference to the cabin. I also like the way that the snow seems to be in every branch of the trees enhancing the impression that it is really cold outside. ❄️ Great job!
Super cool job @split pier! Loved that you added a base to the letters. Also, the edges are looking very nice, especially the top of the T. If you want, you can enhance the effect that the letters are really on the ground by adding some occlusion (contact) shadows. You can create them with a small brush and a darker tone and then paint where the letters are touching the ground. You can use the shadows on the letter S as a reference. Nicely done!
This turned out great @young karma! Loved the color grading and how you added the wolfs to the scene. I wonder if you could create a cast shadow below the one near the cabin. It doesn't need to be strong, just a subtle one will help you sell more the effect. Great job!

@fluid wharf, nice work on the rock effect. Maybe you can add some "Bevel & Emboss" to give it dimention, and make it look like the letters are actually made of rock.
Your snow is also looking good. I like that you kept the flowers with color. I would say, just to try and remove the gray 'noise' on the house. I think it would look better.

@fringe harness why have your text so small?
@deep mango Wow, you made an all out blizzard!!! Just a thought, but all the work you put into creating all the other effects is blocked out by the snow. Maybe go a little lighter on the snow so the rest of your image can show through.
@pseudo current nice job. It has a nice gauzy look. I wonder how it would look if the image was a bit more contrasty, to show the elements a bit more.

@tropic knoll Oooh, I like it! Really selling that winter feeling now I think. Very nicely done! It could be really easy to turn this one into a night scene too by darkening the overall image and adding some warm orange/yellow glows in the windows. Looks good!
@chilly hawk Really cool job with the rock text challenge! I like that dramatic spotlight sort of look. The red and blue of the background gives it a really interesting stylized feel too. My only suggestion is that a slightly more gradual fade on the ground plane between the light and shadow might give a more convincing sort of spotlight effect. Really great contrast in this design!
@lean badger I love what you did with the text on this rock design! Really awesome way to combine the look of the original text with the blocky organic look of the rock/crystal. Really great style overall, and nice balance to the shapes. The way you cut out the edges of the rock works really well and gives the rock formations a really natural look. Impressive work!
@trail field Really cool effect! Almost kind of looks like a thick paint effect. Really liking the textures and bold color gradients in this one, the jigsaw puzzle idea is a nice touch too!
@sweet bluff These are looking good! I really love the texture you got with the letter P image. It almost kind of looks like old wood/paint on the side of a house, or thin tree bark or something. It has a really nice contrast with the color and texture of the background. The drop shadow adds some nice depth too. Also really liking the bold graphic look of the blue-orange image. Great stuff!
@lucid plover Nice job Fery! It's cool to see how brush size can change the look too. The smaller size of the orange circle has a strong crayon feel to it, but the larger red spots in the middle almost start to look more like spray paint or something. Really nice textures and effects 👍
@fluid wharf Really interesting effects going on in the snow scene design! The hard edged black-grey-white look kind of gives it a sort of inked look which is neat. I think if you wanted more of a realistic/natural look softening some of the speckled texture with a very slight blur might do the trick, and maybe using a blending mode that shows some of the shadow/lighting and dimension of the objects underneath would help. But as is the hard edges give it an interesting ink/painted feel. Nice work 😄

@untold iron Nice job, the texture looks good! Kind of interesting how the bigger the brush gets the more it almost looks like a sponge painting or something, like with the tree. Nice work with the lines and designs on this!
@south adder This turned out great! I like how you kept some color in the sky, it seems to give it a more natural look. Really nice job with the falling snow and texture. My only thought is that the snow on the left side of the image on the grass and hill looks really hard edged. Almost kind of like paint or chalk on a stucco wall. I wonder if softening it, maybe with a subtle blur, might give it a more snow like feel. I think the texture works, it just might be a bit hard edged. Snow usually has a fairly soft look and feel to it. Just an idea. Nicely done!

Day 5 Challenge

@hot thicket Looks good John! The snow texture is working really well. I wonder if getting a bit more of the blue back in the sky might give it a more natural look and balance out the bit of color we see in the cabin, but that's really just personal preference. Nice work!
@young karma Nice work! Kind of an aged B&W photograph feel with this too with the desaturation and overall texture. If you wanted to push the snowy look of it I think leaving some color in key areas (a bit in the wood of the cabin, sky, and maybe fence or some in the closer trees) would make it look more wintery and a little less like a B&W photo. Even giving it a slightly cool blue tint could help push that even more. Just depends what you're going for. Good job 👍
@gilded flame Cool take on this challenge with the flowers! Nice work breaking up the edge of the letter with the flowers while still keeping it easily readable. Really nice color scheme to this too, the warm tones add a nice balance!

@fluid wharf very cool work! I like the variations of the brush size you applied to the grass and the overall image. Loved your attention to the details, especially the bricks showing on the houses and the small birds in the sky. The water is looking like the crayon was tilted when painted. Good job!
@dusky wave you did a great job changing the season of the image! The falling snow is looking very cool as well. If you want to take a step further you can create some small flakes to add more depth to the image, as Jesús did on the stream. This will help you sell the impression the flakes get smaller as they move away from the viewer. 😉
This looks awesome @chilly hawk! Loved both images! My only suggestion would be to fine-tune the blue channel in the blend if, so this blue fringes will disappear. You can also adjust that in an easier way, which is creating a hue/saturation adjustment layer > choose blue on the drop-down menu > drag the saturation slider to the left to reduce it. If you see that you lost some blue tones on the other elements, you can take advantage of the layer mask and paint black using a brush to recover them 😉 I loved the snowman on the version 2 ☃️
Nice color palette @tacit condor! I like the details of the fill on the Fish word. If you want to enhance the effect that the fish is jumping from the water, you can create some drops near it, it will enhance its movement impression. This is totally personal preference, of course 😉 Great job!
@winter tinsel awesome work! Loved the night scene. The way that you combined and blended the colors resulted in a great effect, especially on the ground and with the highlights of the trees. Fantastic job!
@queen aspen Great job with the effect! I loved the movement that the falling snow has. The trees on the background are looking very realistic as well. The train version is looking pretty cool! I like how the snow effect reduced the contrast of the trees in the foreground. My only nitpick would be to reduce the saturation of the magentas a little bit more, so this area 👇 will blend even more to the snow scene. Nicely done!
Hi @sullen fractal! Loved how you changed the image from day to night. I like that you added a light pole to it as well, creating a light source for the composition. My suggestion would be that since you have a cyan light coming from the pole, the areas that its light is affecting would be reflecting this color as well. To understand some concepts I’ll give you the link for two tutorials similars to the effect that you want to achieve that might help you 🙂 Let me know if you need any help

@sacred field super cool approach to the challenge, Marc! I like the drawing effect that the subject has. The hand-drawn sun and the text gives an organic feel to the overall image. Loved the textures on the clothes as well. Nicely done!
@hollow yarrow another very impressive work, Franck! I loved how you created a technological impression using blue tones and some subtle glow on it. The textures on the symbol and the text were great complementary elements to the composition. Excellent job! 💙
Haha loved it @eternal mica! Make sure you put the drawing on fridge 😄. Loved all the details of your drawing Ted, it represents really well the kindergarten message you wanted to show. Very nice job!
@simple idol wooow this turned out great! Loved how you used a present tone from the image to the text, this brings more consistency to your work. I also like the frame that you added, it creates a very nice visual interest to the image. Challenge #2 is looking very nice as well, really like your colors choice and how you made the background red and the subject with a dark tone of green, helping it to stand out more from the image. Well done!
It’s looking beautiful @plain sable! Loved how the crayon strokes follow the same direction on the elements, this makes it look way more balanced. The colors are working really nice as well! 💯

coral stone
@deep mango lovely colors, Dorina! Really like how you filled the clouds of the bottom part, perhaps you might apply the same style to the ones from the top, it will bring even more consistency to your drawing. Super cool job! 🙂
This is looking amazing, @soft arch! Loved how the edges match the rocks in a great way. This is totally optional, but if you want to enhance that they are really on the scene, you can remove or reduce the drop shadow, placing it just in the bottom areas, and try to preserve the contrast by adding a blur to the background. In case you see that it’s still losing contrast, you can also try to darken the background. You did an amazing job! 💯
@fringe sun great job! Loved how you handled the contrast of the image, especially with the mountains from the background, the way that you kept it low without blending it to the sky, enhanced the depth of the composition. Well done! 👍
Loved the textures on this one @safe linden! I also like that you changed the background color and chose a geometric font for the text. Nicely done!
Lovely work @tropic knoll! Loved the details you added to the boy. The text is looking very consistent with the drawing at the same time as it helps the image tell a story. Great job!
This is very nice, @tropic haven! Loved the grass that you added. If you want, you can replace the gradient from the dog and the cat by a solid color like the other elements, like the butterflies. This will bring more consistency to your composition. Just an idea, of course 😉 Well done!

@tropic knoll Ooh, very cool! Loving that color contrast. The lantern glows look great, but the windows don’t quite have the same effect. I often like to use a color dodge layer with a soft round brush for that effect. Here’s a quick example for both the darkening and the glow ideas
As far as creating darkness I used a levels adjustment to darken it all down (the lower slider), a multiply layer to darken a little more in key areas, and a color dodge layer to add the warm window light and some cool blue moon light on the roof and front yard. Though you probably don't need to go as dark as I did. We may have done a DCC challenge on the topic before, but I remember a live stream with Anna McNaught where she did the day to night technique. You can find it at this link around the 35:30 mark. She does the glows around 1:13:00

Side note: Scrolling up a bit, I noticed Valdair also posted some "Day to Night"" videos which could be useful.
@young karma Great idea to do this challenge in a sort of coloring book type of approach! Really nice job on the coloring, and the texture is looking good too!
@naive mural Very nice! Day 7 is looking good! Did you do the line drawing for this too? Looks great. You have a good sense of values going on with the coloring, and the texture adds a lot of interest. Nice work!
@bold valley Super cool, really interesting design! Both the shapes and textures are looking great. There’s a nice visual balance to the whole thing, and a sort of surreal look to it too. Looks good!
@compact pecan Day 6 is looking great! The colored areas of the fence, barn, and sky really help make the rest of it read as snow. I think you could even push that look a bit further if you put some of the warm colored glow from the sun back in the image which also might give the rest of the image a cool look by comparison which could push that winder feel. Nicely done!
@vernal ice This looks great! Nice work with the Day 7 flyer. The crayon style texture with the clean lines and fonts makes for a nice balance of styles. The background fits this nicely too. Nice job with the design!
@young karma Hah, great idea for this challenge! The lined paper and desk texture work great. The coloring and texture definitely has that crayon look to it, I feel like I could see this actually be in a Deadpool comic or movie with something you see him doodling on. Looks great!
@sweet cedar Hah, perfect! Great idea for the crayon effect challenge! It might help to brighten the white on the eyes, and use the same darker color you used for the mouth to add a bit more pop and contrast to the pupils. The texture came out really nicely, definitely has that crayon look!
@fringe sun Hah, this looks great! I'd say it's a pretty impressive illustration, the rabbit looks great xD Really nice job on the texture too, it definitely has that hand drawn crayon look to it. Nice work with the text as well 👍
@vague swift Oh man, that looks great! I feel like the sky really adds the color contrast that sells the rest as white snow. That really helps the roof read too, nicely done!

@sullen fractal Some really cool effects! The masking of the text gives it a really interesting sense of scale and some nice depth. My only suggestion is switching the cow's shadows to something like a multiply layer so we can still see the grass beneath it, just darker. I usually like using a very saturated purple/blue tone that isn't too dark, just enough to look convincing. Nice work!
@chilly hawk Texture is looking great on the crayon design! Really nice job with all the designs and smooth lines/paths. The gradients on the flowers are a nice touch too!
