@eternal mica Ooh, you know what Ted, that's my mistake. My response was to the first version you posted, I didn't realize you had an updated one where you changed the format. I think you pretty much solved all the issues I mentioned with your format change since there was less overlapping of various colors and shapes and a cleaner overall read. I think the previous version looks really good too! Really just depends which background color you prefer at this point. I think both work.

@bleak fossil I like the additional drop shadow you suggested, and I think making the bg a bit darker did help make the kids stand out even more and make the colors look even brighter. I think I'll stick with the last version. And as always, I appreciate your time and attention.

@slow stirrup Great improvement! New font gives a nice academic look that fits well with your poster. Just to be picky: you maybe could try to enhance the contrast of the bottles picture to better match it with your text... It looks a little bit too light (does it in "multiply" blending mode?)
Also you could add a layer mask on your text and mask some parts with a "grunge brush" to fit with the old paper look... Just a suggestion😇 ...

Very nice job, @shy bobcat! Really like the textures and the colors on your poster. My only suggestion would be to reduce the shadows' opacity from the text ofthe bottom, so it can be read a bit easier, especially on the word Missed. Well done!
Super cool work @mortal crescent! I like how you played with the edges of the poster. I wonder if you could increase the contrast of the subject just a bit, so it will be more visible. Just another nitpick 😄 you might darken the D from Wanted, so it can read better as well. To remove the black from the edges, you might use tools like color range to select the blacks and then apply a layer mask to recover additional areas that might have been hidden together, by painting with the white brush. Here's an overview on how the tool works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpLAEoMZVPc Let me know if you need any help. Great job!
safe linden
@safe linden Really cool lighting in this Day 7 challenge! I like the effect for her super power, kind of like she's wielding a staff of energy or something. I like the blue light you added onto her face, though I think adding a little along the right side of her body might look good too. I often like to use a screen layer for this. It might help balance out the contrast between her and shield as well. Maybe something like this? Though it doesn't need to be as heavy handed.

Calling Card Challenge

Great job on the textures @hot thicket! Really like the way that they and the colors worked out on the background. If you want, you might hide the bottom edges of the subject with some other branches or even position her a little lower and then playing with some clipping mask. Just some ideas, of course! Very well done!
This turned out really cool @cold oyster! Loved how there are some textures on the text from above! The black rectangle and the white text were a super cool choice to create more visual interest. Great job!
@simple idol I think that the typeface that you chose for the poster fits very well! I also like how the monster has some dark spots enhancing the scary message that you wanted to pass when you created it. Day 9 is looking amazing! I like how you used the 2020 rectangle to divide the composition and the fire seems to be connecting both realities. Nicely done!
@tropic knoll great job, CK! I like how the italic look of the font adds some movement to the poster, matching really well the hero context. My only suggestion would be to adjust the wings contrast, so it might stand out a little more. You can achieve that by darkening the background might, but be careful for the texts don’t lose too much contrast. 😉
simple idol
Whoa! Means a lot, man. Thanks for your feedback!!
coral stone
This is very cool @abstract parcel I like that you chose a red tone dor the text. I wonder if creating some shadows where she is standing would make it look a bit more cohesive. And just a minor nitpick, you might extend the sky area and shift the text a little higher, so the As night… won’t be placed in front of the castle, improving the readability
You did an amazing job with the text @safe linden! Loved the way that you played with the Horsewoman shape, it adds a super cool look for the poster. Also, the color for the Protector has a great amount of contrast against the background. Awesome work!
Good job @fluid wharf! I like how you added some edges for the poster, if you want the text to blend a little more to the background, you might reduce its opacity a bit, so the textures will be able to appear through it as well 😉
@lucid plover super cool work, Fery! Really like the way that you played with the perspective. My only nitpick would be to move this point a little bit up and to the right, so the horizontal lines of the paper might be able to have the same direction enhancing the perspective effect 😉
Loved the style that you chose for the word Wanted @gilded flame! The textures worked out really well and I like how you gave the white background, where the subject is, some organic edges. Great job!
@tacit condor wooow this looks amazing! The way that you managed the hierarchy of the texts and pictures turned out into a very well balanced design. Day 9 is looking great as well! I like the glows that you added and the stroke of the word Antihero. Fantastic work!
@untold iron this came together really nicely! I like that you played with the scale of the emblem and the metallic look of the text. Great challenge 👍
Loved the way that you let some textures appear through her face, @prime temple! This is just a personal preference but you might darken the blue tones of the Jaenelle Angeline just a bit, so it can match even more the dark atmosphere of your poster 😉
Lovely work @forest aspen! I like that you created a shadow for the subject. If you want, you might add a mask to the subject’s layer and with a very small brush, paint black over the front area of her shoes, to reveal some grass, this will enhance the effect that she is really standing on the grass, just an idea. The textures on day 9 are looking amazing;) Great job!
I like how the background image adds a nice sense of speed to the poster, @fringe sunt! The way that you played with the frame and the yellow strokes turned out really cool. Well done!
Ooh this is looking super cool, @sacred field! I like that you played with some effects, enhancing the shadows area, how did you do that? Is that the threshold effect? I like how the elements in the background have some colors, making them more subtle at the same time that it’s creating a very interesting contrast for the effect. Awesome work!
@eternal mica Thanks for the kind words, Ted! 😃 your poster is looking very nice. I would just be careful with the overlaps, Superman is hiding almost the first half of the word American, this might be a little difficult for the viewers to read, you might adjust that by making the same as you made with Robin and the word Truth 🙂 Well done!

@vague shuttle this is looking very nice, Abraham! This is just an optional step, but if you want, you might add some textures on the gradient of the background as well, it can be the noise one from the subject, just to see how it turns out 😄 Nice work!

@mortal crescent Very cool! The desaturated photo with a sort of sepia look is working well. It’d be interesting to see the edges of the photo maybe faded with a soft brush, or textured with a textured brush? It might also be nice to see a bit of texture showing through on the text so it doesn’t quite look too perfect and clean. Maybe have it on a multiply layer with slightly lower opacity? Just some thoughts. Nice work!
@fluid wharf This text came out really well for the Day 9 challenge! Really great sense of form and metallic look with the beveled effect. Both of these elements stand out really nicely against the dark background. Nicely done!
@gilded flame Really great sense of form and lighting in this one! The logo against the rippling background looks extremely convincing and natural. The red first creates a lot of contrast and makes for a good focal point too. Really nicely done!
@slow stirrup Ooh, great shift in style with this! I think the more elegant feel of the font and border really help push it more towards the style you seemed to be going for. The texture on the text really helps make it look more like it’s part of poster as well. I think this is looking really solid!
@fringe sun Really excellent work throughout the past 2 weeks! I really like the styling of the Day 9 challenge. The repetition of the blue and yellow in the text and hero give it a nice consistency. I feel like maybe the yellow/gold in the center of the text could be a bit brighter to better match the lighting, but that’s a minor nitpick suggestion. I like how you added the super power effect in the background too. Very cool!
bleak fossil
@young karma This is looking excellent Vickey! The lighting looks great and really sets a nice mood for the whole image. The mask on the face looks extremely natural as well. Overall a really great balance of contrast and composition. The composition of all these elements and perspective of the emblem all came out really well. Impressive work!
@inland kiln Super cool! Really nice bold colors to this. I love the way the yellow tones are balanced throughout the image in the text and mask. It draws the focus really nicely to the eyes. The red makes for a nice pop of color as well. If I had any nitpick I'd say the red text at the bottom doesn't quite fit the mood and feel of the image, it almost looks a bit more like a typewriter. Maybe something a bit sharper would look good. Just a minor nitpick. This came out great!
bleak fossil
@gilded flame Day 6 is looking good! I like the sort of cracked leaking light effect in the background. There's a nice bold read to all these shapes and colors. If you're going for a spray painted look it might help to choose a blending mode that shows the texture of the wall underneath. Very nice!
@abstract parcel Really great work on these Cheethu! The Day 9 superhero poster is looking good! The mask and text has some really nice contrast against the background. It's been great seeing all your designs throughout the past 2 weeks. Nice job!
@rare herald Really cool! I love the gritty metal texture on this design. The green color gives it a cool feel and the red eye makes for a great contrast. My only suggestion is I think masking out the bottom left and right edge with a soft brush to fade the portrait seamlessly with the background might be a more natural look. The white text has a really nice read against the background too, nice work!

@plain sable Hah, very cool! I like the contrast in the poster image and the color scheme with the yellow/black works really well with the pops of color in the bear. The portal image has a really cool style to it. The gradients and texture add some nice depth!
@young karma Really great image! The color, lighting, and contrast all looks really cohesive and natural. Really great sense of depth with the size variation of the books and the atmospheric perspective in the image. It makes for a great focal point with the girl and bull too. Excellent work!
@slow stirrup Ooh, I love the lighting and reflection on the potion bottles! Really nice contrast. I wonder if a subtle texture across the text might help give it a bit more of an aged and natural look. Also, if you’re having an issue getting the mask around the twine nice and clean the Refine Edge Tool should be able to do a pretty good job with that if you hadn’t tried it already. Looks good!
@mortal crescent Looks good! I think a bit more contrast to the text of her name might look good to make it stand out and match the “Wanted” text a bit more. Nice work!
@covert loom Really nice job with all these designs! I like the different mask variations. The last design with the city looks great too, I really like how the colors from the mask are present in the city, it gives it a really nice uniform feel. I wonder if a bit of a gradient effect that darkens down the bottom of the image and fades away towards the top and middle might help draw a little more focus towards the face and away from the bright white area around the bottom right? Just a thought. Great work with these!
@shy bobcat Hah, very cool idea Pam. The figures stand out really nicely against the lighter desaturated background. It could be nice to see the red of the text taken from the bold red of Superman’s cape to give it a bit more pop and tie the look in with the rest of the image. Though that’s just personal preference really. Nicely done!

@ember crown wow! you really added some drama to this with those highlights. my eye is definitely drawn to the landscape. if i had to change anything, i might decrease the "grey" effect juuust a tad in the sky
@modern halo very nice! this looks like it could be an advertisement with some words in the sky. maybe for Jeep?
@lucid plover thanks for posting! the colors are looking nice here.
@young karma hopefully she appreciates your creativity and doesn't get too upset about the mutant snail! 🤣 in all seriousness, i really like how the shell color ties in with the sky
@lime meadow nice vibrant edits! the canyon in the far distance has some really nice atmospheric perspective going on with the slight grey/blue tinting
@untold iron great job! although the sky is still interesting to look at, the lack of contrast there really helps the viewer focus on the landscape.
@ruby void lovely photo 😮 I like how the shadows in the tunnel have a green hue. it helps this photo feel very verdant and fantasy-like
@regal ermine wow! nice - my eye goes straight down to the canyon with that bright yellow ground. the sky is nicely "toned down" to help the viewer know where to look

@pliant comet haha! so glad to hear it
@safe linden very nice - did you do some editing to the clouds? they almost look painted.
@cold oyster that certainly IS dramatic! i feel like i'm in a dreamscape. the slight glow gives a cool surreal effect. this might make a great background for a fantasy composite
@obtuse plover great job - the vibrancy works really well for this image since it focuses on the flowers. keep it up!
@hot thicket wow what a lovely photo. did you edit the yellows to be more vibrant? it really helps the viewer know where to look!
@magic wagon look at that dramatic sunset - very nice!
@loud mist wow - that edit really adds some ambiance to this already beautiful landscape
@queen dew hah i almost didnt notice the mountains in the BG. very subtle - nice! the different tones in the sand are mixed well. nice job!
@arctic rover great job! love the warmth that you pulled out in the wood
@sweet fern ha! that IS The Watchtower. the warmth of the Devil's Bridge looks really nice with the green of the foliage in the BG
@queen aspen love the details that came out in the sky in your edit. great job
@spare badge looking good - that water is unreal (in a good way)
@eternal mica look at all of those DETAILS you pulled out in your edit! nice. I feel like this would feel post-apocalyptic if it were black and white or maybe sepia...

@marble sentinel I like how the details are looking in your photo! I agree with Kathleen, maybe bringing more contrast and recovering some details on the sky might help the image look even more consistent. Well done!
@ember crown woow that's a dramatic effect! I like the saturated tones from the mountains, and how the clouds are looking as well. Perhaps you might decrease the brightness of that white glow, just to recover some details, for that, I believe that fine-tuning the glow and the highlights sliders might be enough. Great job!

@modern halo super cool edits, Willi! I like the results that the HDR toning produced, especially on the branches. Nicely done!
coral stone
Hey @lucid plover! I didn't see the original photo, but I assume that you made some adjustments to the sky and the saturation of the other areas. They are looking pretty awesome! I like how the dark greens of the trees and the cyan tones of the sky are looking. Also, the yellows of the ground combine very well together with the other tones. Great job!
@young karma super cool composition. I like that you played with some overlaps and the rain. My only suggestion would be to apply some light to the top blue areas of the snail. Since the light is coming from the sky, this part would be affected, just like the shell 🙂 Nicely done!
Good job, @lime meadow! I like how you brought life with the saturated greens! Also, the warm colors coming from the rocks are looking very consistent. Well done!
You did a very nice job with the HDR toning, @untold iron! I like how the adjustments brought some details on the rocks that are far away! The clouds on the sky are looking super cool, as well. Great job!
Cool edits @ruby void! I like how the adjustments brought some cyan tones to the water and the bridge, I think that, even though they are subtle, it makes the whole image even more interesting. Excellent work!
This is looking very nice @regal ermine! I like how subtle the adjustments were on your image. The dark areas of the bottom right make my eyes to go straight to the middle of the composition. 😉 Awesome work with the focal point!
Great to see you’re back for this set @pliant comet! I loved how the lights and colors are looking. My only minor nitpick would be to adjust these areas on the bottom right, 👇 creating more of a smoother transition. For that, you can use the patch tool, just like Paul did on the stream. Let me know if you need any help 🙂 About the HDR toning, I loved how you brought back some subtle details from the wall. The gray tones of the sky really enhanced the rainy day of the scene. Amazing job 💯
The adjustments worked out really great on your image, @safe linden! I like how the details are looking, from the mountains of the foreground to the background. The ripples on the water are looking very on point. 👍
@cold oyster very cool work! I like how the purples and yellows when combined with the haze, created kind of a dreamy look for the image. Nicely done!

This turned out really nicely @obtuse plover! Loved the way that the saturation adjustment gave more life to the flower on the left. I like how the image has more light and you were able to bring more details of the rock. Well done!

@marble sentinel Really nice! I like how both the focus in the foreground and desaturated color in the background draw the eye into the center of the image. It would be interesting to see the "before" image to get a better idea of the changes you made. Nice job!
@ember crown Nicely done! Really nice bold contrast in this image, and the colors definitely give it a lot of interesting 👍
@modern halo Really interesting style with the intense contrast of the landscape. Though it looks as though you lost the sky in the process. I think it might be nice to mask the sky out to bring in back and keep that nice blue contrast with the landscape. Nice work!
@lucid plover Very cool to see you using your own photo! There seems to be some really nice contrast in this image, and I like the blue/yellow color contrast of the sky and grass. Though I feel like the image is a bit dark overall. I think a boost to the brights with a levels adjustment might be a nice look. Looking good!
coral stone
Beautiful work @hot thicket! Loved the way that the details of the sand are standing out! I also like how you kept the colors subtle, this was a great choice to give the whole image a natural look. Awesome work!
This is looking amazing @magic wagon I like how you were able to enhance the details of the water. The way that you introduced more warm tones to the sky made it look super cool, especially how it contrasts with the cool tones from the water. Very well done!
Wow very good job adding more contrast to the scene, @loud mist! The details are looking very sharp. I like the new purple tones that you added, they create a very interesting look to the image. Awesome work!
Very creative work, @queen dew! Loved the way that you blended the images! My tip would be to add a color balance adjustment layer clipped to the mountains on the background and give a bit more of yellow to them, so they will be closer in color value, it doesn’t need to be strong, just a touch is enough. If you want, you might do the same for the sand in the foreground (for this, you might need to add more red along with the yellows, since they have a subtle orange tone). The surrealistic composition is looking amazing! 🙂
bleak fossil
@young karma Ooh, really interesting direction with this one! I love the intense surreal colors, it definitely has a bit of a dangerous otherworldly feel. My only suggestion is that it might help to adjust the contrast of the snail to match the scene a bit more. The dark tones of the snails body could be darkened a bit to match with the dark contrast of the foreground of the landscape. It might also be nice to tone down the contrast of the background a bit since it's currently deeper than the snail, when realistically it would likely be a bit less due to atmospheric perspective. It might be subtle but it could give the image a bit more balance possibly. Very cool design!
@lime meadow Looking good Fani! The colors definitely have a bold saturated look to them. I feel like the value contrast could be pushed in this by brightening up the brightest tones a bit with a levels adjustment, but it really just depends on the look you're going for. Nice work 👍
@untold iron Really cool, sharp contrast in this image! The colors have a rich bold look to them as well, nicely done!
coral stone
@arctic rover I totally agree, Jude hah! Loved the adjustments you made, especially on the Pepsi Cola image, the way that they added sharpness to the windows turned out really cool. Amazing job!
@sweet fern what a spectacular work you’ve done! Loved how the edits brought more life to the images, especially to the first one. Fantastic work!

@ruby void This is great. Always nice to see people use their own photography, nice composition in this one! The colors and lighting have a really nice sharp contrast to them without appearing unnatural. I love the lighting on the bridge, really nice work!
@regal ermine Very nice! I really like the bold color contrast between the yellow in the landscape and the blue sky. Good job!
@pliant comet Hah, it's always nice to have something to make the process easier. This is super cool, great to see you using your own photo! Really great warm lighting in this photo. Really nice contrast too, the warm buildings of the landscape create a really nice contrast with the blue sky. Very cool!

Beautiful work @gaunt gulch! Loved the panorama image and the Devil’s Bridge, the colors are looking very interesting. My only suggestion would be to recover some details of the clouds on the black & white version. You can try bringing down the shadows slider and fine-tune with the other ones, you can also create multiple versions, so if some area loses details because of the adjustments, you can use to recover them. Very nice work!
Great to see you’re back for this series @fringe sun! Loved the effects on the image, giving more of a painted look, especially when I look at the mountains and the clouds. Great job!
Loved the animation that you added for the Before and After, @young karma! The blue sky created a super cool mood to the image. Very well done!
@young karma very nice work, Selma! I like how you made the mountains in the foreground in grayscale! The gradual change of tones from the mountains from the front way to the horizon created an amazing effect. Excellent work!

This one started as an underexposed and an overexposed shot merged in Lightroom.Then I used Photoshop's HDR toning to get this color weirdness.
This is the result of Lightroom's "Merge to HDR" before adding Photoshop's HDR Toning.
The two originals. I had better luck with two exposures than with the three.

@shy bobcat Looking good Pam! It adds a lot of nice sharpness and contrast to the image to give it a nice pop. Overall the white balance of the image looks a bit warm to me with the water and the sky. I wonder if adjusting that to get some more cool tones could look good? Unless of course that's the actual tint of the water and environment. The image of the rocks really adds some nice life into the colors too. Nice work!
@oblique anvil Oh wow, really interesting effect! I really like how you included all the original images for reference. It really gives the image a sort of unique surreal feeling. I especially love the colors in the roots and shadow area of the foreground tree. Very cool!
@fleet pecan Very nice! There's some great contrast and sharpness in this image. Cool perspective too. It might be interesting to see what the text looks like if you use a brighter tone, if you sampled from the bright center mountain for example, but that's really just personal preference. Nice job!
bleak fossil
@sharp quail Really nice sharpness and colors in this one! The time of day makes for a nice look and feel to the image. The contrast is looking good!
@hollow yarrow Oh for sure, night photography can be tough without a tripod. Really cool to see you using your own panorama for this challenge! Really nice contrast in this image, I especially like the area of color in the water and sky. Awesome vibrancy and contrast to the other two images too. Really nice to see how much of a difference those adjustments can make. Looking good!
@unique flume Looking good! Really great to see how the adjustments can do so much to make the color pop and separate out the various trees and bushes from the areas of shadow behind them. The bold color really seems to make the depth of field focus more apparent too. Very nice!
@eternal mica Very nice Ted, it's cool to see 4 distinctly different looks to the same photo. I think the top left definitely has a captivating feel with the strong contrast and separation of foreground and background shapes. Nicely done!
@rocky kite Really cool image with the panorama! The extreme colors give it a sort of surreal, almost otherworldly feel, and really push the contrast between the blue, orange, and green. Nice work!
@vale pumice Ooh, really interesting effects with the colors on this bike image! Really nice color contrast between the bike and background on the second one too, makes for a strong focal point. 👍
@digital ruin Very interesting look to this design with the cool green/blue tones! It really transforms the look and feel of the original image. Overall it might be nice to have a bit more bold contrast since both darks and light looks like they could be pushed a bit further, but it really depends on what you're going for. Nice work!
@kind ibex Nice job with the object removal in this image! I really love the effect these adjustments had on the trees too, totally changes the look and feel of the image. I noticed it seems like you masked out the trees but the white areas between the leaves remain. I'm not sure if you tried it but the Refine Edge Brush tool usually does a great job of masking those complex areas. Great colors in this design!
@wicked abyss Loving these colors! Really great photo. It's always fun how much of the original colors Photoshop can bring out and push as far as you like. Really nice overall contrast to this photo!
@young karma Really cool Vickey! I like the pinks in the sky and purples in the background mountains. Really nice enhancement of the original photo to give it some extra pop 👍
@proven patio Really great enhancement to the colors in this photo! I especially like how much it brings out the various layers, shapes, and colors of the background mountains. Nice work!
@feral oak Really nice! Is this your own image? The adjustments create some nice clarity in the midground plants, and I love how much it enhances the warm bounced light on the right side of the dog's face. Cool colors and contrast in this, nice work!

@whole tangle that's a really vivid edit! wow
@safe linden i really like how you applied the texture over the entire image - looks pretty realistic!
@slow stirrup awesome - did you change the blend mode of the vector shapes to help them blend into the BG? or did you decrease the opacity? always so many different ways to achieve your goals in PS!
@torn flint wow, getting fancy with the masking! love how the beak breaks the edge of the compass. right now the very top of the beak is meeting with the edge of the compass and it's drawing my eye - i might try repositioning the bird a tad higher

@low garnet love how you described your process - it's a great way for others to learn. can't wait to see the finished result
@safe ledge wow, what a change. the warmth of the foreground works well against the coolness of the background. if you were going to tweak it more, i'd recommend toning down the saturation of the background just a bit - the redness of the rocks on the left start to compete with the foreground rocks. great job!

@eternal mica great halftone texture! the subtle gradient is a nice touch. the text starts to become difficult to read at the bottom since it's competing with the halftone
@wet thistle very nice! the texture in the grass and clouds work well together
@bold valley awesome shot!
@sacred field sweet! my only critique is that the text in "PASSPORT" becomes difficult to read once it overlaps the world. I might try adding a subtle stroke or try bending the text over the world instead of into it
@dusky wave wow! love the reflection effect. I think the font choice is a little too difficult to read - you could try adding some space between the letters (kerning) or exploring other font styles
@primal fulcrum really cool to see your painting used as a texture in the background!

@obtuse plover great job with your raster/vector combo. i prefer option 1 - the background has more contrast with the vector graphics on top of it
@wicked abyss wow very cool. it looks like you even color-graded the crow to match with the purple/blue hues of the background?
@dapper basin nice job with your vector & raster design! very clean
@ember crown wahoo! nice job. I think the icons on the left and right deserve a liiiiittttle more breathing room. maybe they could be shrunk down just a tad so they're not bumping into the edge of the canvas?
@ember crown love your statue design. great job adding the warm highlights from the circle

@sterile bane Thank you for your critique. I sensed that problem with the smaller text. Id like to keep the same effects as the larger text. Maybe it just wont work. I'll play with it some more.

This is looking super cool, @dusk lance! I like that you made 1984 a little faded, so it contrasts really well with 2020 without making the whole image look busy. You did an excellent use of textures as well!
@pliant comet nice blue tones in this one! Loved that you added a subtle glow to the text, this helps it stand out without creating any competition with the other elements. Well done!
I loved the mixture of colors in the Part 2 @safe ledge! The details of the mountains and the branches are looking very on point! You did a very good job bringing back the colors of the Grand Canyon as well 🙂
Nice font choice, @gilded flame! What’s the name of it? I like that it has those details which add a nice personality to the composition! The blending is looking very on point as well, my only consideration would be to lighten the dark tones of the bottom area, so they won’t occupy a lot of space and the transition would be a little smoother 🙂
You did a really great job in your composition @queen aspen! Loved the way that the white glow worked out amazingly with the dark green tones. The stylized font was a very good touch as well. 💯
You achieved a great balance in this one @eternal mica! I like how your image has a great hierarchy, and the halftone pattern worked out great with the colorful logo and the playful letters. Excellent job!
Great to see you’re back @wet thistle! Loved the results that you achieved, especially by the sharpness of the plants and the contrast of the clouds. Excellent work!
Nice results on day 1, @bold valley! I like that even though the image looks sharper, the depth of field was preserved, you can see that by the subtle blur on the plant in the foreground. Great job!
Super cool work @sacred field! I like that the background image adds a nice sense of movement to the image. Very nice improvement, I like how the text is readable and the whole composition feels more balanced 😉 Well done!

@dusky wave oh this is looking pretty cool! I like that you applied some orange tones to the waterfalls. My only suggestion would be to adjust the contrast of the compass shape, if you want, you might make it more visible by scaling down and position on a strategic area, where it could have a nice amount of contrast against the background, like the left or right top areas. This will help you to control the focal point for the composition to go straight to the orange tones and the text. Well done! 👍

@sweet fern these textures came out great! I like that you added some subtle shadow to the shapes I can see that they also have kind of a 3D look, did you used a bevel and emboss? It’s looking awesome. Another super cool job, Ron!

@spare badge oh this is looking very nice, Daxa! I loved the way that you made the statues subtly! This is just something that you might try to see if you like, you might flip the ellipse shape vertically so the bright areas would be closer to the statue (matching the faded look even more) and the dark areas, closer to the to top edge. Good job!
Nice job with the neon, @fleet pecan! It’s great to see you’re back for the challenges! Loved the overlaps that you created between the shape and the rose. My only suggestion would be to darken the rose with a levels adjustment layer just a bit, so the N and the top areas of the compass might be able to stand out. The edit can be subtle, so the rose will still have enough contrast against the black background. If you see that it has lost a lot of contrast, you might take advantage of the layer mask using a soft round brush and black as the foreground color to remove the darkness of some areas. 🙂 Great job!
Super cool work, @simple idol! The transition of the texture is looking very nice as well. The only minor nitpick that I have would be to lighten the bridge just a bit more, so some details of the bottom areas might be able to appear more, it doesn’t need to be a strong edit. I loved the color palette that you chose 🙂
@cold oyster I loved the effect that the stairs are leading to the text, this is an amazing strategy to guide the viewer’s eyes. Besides that, it also adds a cool sense of movement to the whole image. If that was a book cover, it totally would catch my attention. Awesome work!
Nice work, @obtuse plover! Loved how you played with some blend modes on of the shapes and the text. My only suggestion would be that, if you want, you might darken the background of option two, so the shape might be able to stand out a little more. Loved the neon color that you chose for option one, especially on the bottom areas, very nicely done! 💯

Beautiful work @wicked abyss! I like that the colorful waves are subtle and how they add a nice movement to the composition. My only suggestion would be to apply some feather to the bird’s layer mask, so the edges might look a bit smoother. For that, you can select the layer mask on the layers panel > under the properties panel increase the Feather slider just a touch. 👇 Feel free to tag if you have any doubt 🙂
Super cool work @dapper basin! I like that you played with some shadows, creating a very clean composition. The yellow stroke with glow is looking nice as well. This is totally optional, but if you want to hide the shape overlapping the animal areas, you might click on the thumbnail of these layers with ctrl (PC) or cmd (Mac) to create a selection > select the layer of the shape on the background > click on the layer mask icon. If you get the inverted result, just select the mask and press Ctrl+i 🙂 Well done!
Very nice job, @ember crown! I like how you added a glow to the statues as well, increasing the reality effect of it. Awesome work!
Loved the results of the HDR toning @blissful wolf! Especially how it enhanced each tone present on the images. The panorama is looking very nice as well, my only thought would be to adjust the Tone and Details sliders, just to remove the gray tones from the clouds 🙂 Well done!
blissful wolf
@coral stone , thank you! I will look at that

Very nice font choice @regal ermine! The way that you added a subtle stroke for the Passport and a drop shadow was a great decision for maintaining contrast. My only nitpick would be to darken a bit the background area where the “a love story…” is, so it won’t blend to the highlights of the statue, preserving the contrast. 😉

@spiral shadow Ooh, this is a really interesting effect! I like the high key look of the values in this image, and the strong contrast gives it a nice balance. Really cool effect with how perfectly mirrored the land and sky is in the water!
@lucid plover Really cool idea for the Day 2 challenge. Very nice clear silhouette of the dog and cat, these came out really well!
@sturdy vault These came out great! Really nice job, the adjustments add a lot of great contrast and clarity to both images. I especially like how much detail and information it brings out in the clouds and mountains in both images. Looking good!
@sinful parrot I love this photo! Really fantastic colors and lighting with this. I haven't seen the original but it would be interesting to see how much contrast these adjustments added. The bold color contrast between the warm colors in the sky and buildings and blue of the sky looks great!

@primal fulcrum Really nice work Sig! That is a really interesting branch indeed. I like how the adjustments increase the contrast to further visually separate the dark branch from the light background to make it even more eye catching. Really changes the feel of the image 👍
@rocky kite Very nice! I like the strong graphic read of the graphic against the dark background. The blurred background gives the image a great focus on the crow and graphic too. Nice work!
@untold iron Great design, I love how this graphic interacts with the crow in this image! I like the subtle gradient across the graphic too. The golden/yellow tones of the graphic contrast really nicely against the blue of the sky. Very nice work!
@whole tangle Oh wow, really interesting colors in this Day 1 image! I love all the different warm and cool tones working together in this image. Especially the purple of the shadow on the house. It kind of gives a whimsical feel to the whole picture. Really cool!
@hot thicket Cool idea for the Day 2 challenge! I like how it fits with the colors and values of the original photo. Nicely done!
@safe linden Great idea for the Day 2 design! The texture really sells that passport feel. Especially how you made it show through in both the image and text/graphic at the top in a realistic way. Looks great!
@slow stirrup I love how you did a series of these! Really nice colors in these designs, especially in the New York Image. I like how cohesive the colors look with that orange text. I think making the "Paris" text a bit brighter and closer to the light blue/white of the clouds in the sky might give it a bit of a stronger read at a glance and a bit more pop to the whole design. Nice job!
@torn flint Ooh, cool effect with this Day 2 design! I like how you masked the raven's head for that extra sense of depth. The green has a super bold look against that dark background. I like the slightly glow the graphic seems to have. Nice work!
whole tangle
Thanks so much @bleak fossil for the feedback. I had never used the HDR toning before, had fun with it! 🙂

@simple idol Cool take on the Day 2 design! I really like the aged look you got with this design. The color of the text works really well with that look, even without any texture on it. Very nice!
@low garnet Nice work on the Day 2 design! I like the hand drawn style of the compass in the center. Really nice photo to go along with this design too. I think the opacity of the ring shape could be turned up a bit just so it contrasts the dark trees and hills in the background image a bit more. Looking good!

@safe ledge Wow, what a difference this makes to the look and feel of the image with the color change. I really like the orange contrast against the purples and blues of the background. I like that you did some object removal with the railing too. Loving the colors and sort of surreal feeling to the part 2 image as well. Very nice!
@dusk lance Really interesting design! I think it could be cool to see a bit more contrast in the center area of the eye for a nice balance between the photo and text elements. Cool effect!
@pliant comet Wow, very nice edits in the postcard image! It really brings out the blues in the image and enhances that icy feel. The text fits very nicely with that as well. Looks good!
@simple idol Great Design Biola! The texture and fade to the illustrated elements fits nicely with the aged look of the photo. I love the pop of color with the pink too. I feel like even with the aged look, it could maybe use a bit of a boost in brightness with a levels adjustment. Very nice!
@wicked nexus Super cool Dama! Really great colors in this illustration and I like how you used the overlapping shapes. It creates some really interesting negative space with the blue water too. Nice job!

@sleek loom Awesome, welcome in! Glad you're joining us. Really nice colors and lighting here. The darker sky kind of makes it look like a long exposure short shortly after or before the sun went down. Really interesting effect!
@compact pecan Great design! Really nice balance of the overlapping shapes here. The mockup looks great, that navy blue background to the book gives it a nice official look. I like the slightly subdued brightness of this design to give it a more realistic look as if it was printed on a sort of leather-like material, but even then I feel like the eagle could use a bit more contrast. Both an increase in the darks and brights might help it read a bit better. Even a slight boost to the overall design might look good. Really nice job!
@magic wagon These are great! I really like the various techniques and styles you tried with the different images! I think the first (sculpture) design could look good if you increase the brightness a bit, and in the brightest areas (the graphic lines and lighter areas of the statue) shifted it more towards a teal color to warm up the blues a bit. Might give it a bit more pop overall. Just a thought. Nice work!
@blissful wolf I love the colors in this image! The bold colors of the background contrast really nicely with the more neutral tones of the statues. The radiating lines feel really in place with the color of the statue as well. My only suggestion is I think the contrast of the compass rose in the center could be increased. It's almost lost against the background a bit. It might look good on a multiply layer. Really nice design!
@stiff flax Really great graphic design behind the raven in this! I like the softer blues tones you used to really make the raven and text the dominant focal point. The gradient across the graphic adds a nice sense of depth too. The little bit of orange around the horizon line adds a nice little pop of color. Very cool!
@jagged falcon Really nice work on the Day 2 challenge! The graphic elements are looking really good. Really cool texture in the compass rose design too. I think the text and graphic at the bottom could be increased in contrast a bit to read better at a glance. Maybe making it a bit brighter by sampling the blue from the sky could give it a bit more pop? If that's not bright enough maybe closer to the horizon line where the sky gets a bit more white. Just a thought, nice job on this!

@cloud edge Do you have a screen shot of the issue? The only thing I can think of is if the layer is in "quick mask mode" which can be toggled on and off by pressing "Q". This is looking good by the way! It might be nice to see a bit more contrast in the middle area of the compass rose to give it a bit more of an even read, but it just depends what you're going for. Really nice colors!
@fringe sun Really cool graphic in this design! I like the varying positions and shapes around the circle, really interesting look to it. I wonder if a bolder/thicker text might read a little bit more clearly over the photo background, but it just depends on the look you're going for. Looking good!
@kind ibex Ooh, I like it. I think you definitely nailed that vibe with the deep red and dark blue colors. Though it might help to give the text a more clear red by making it a bit brighter and/or shifting the hue either more towards purple or orange just to further separate it from the red of the statue. Really cool feel to this one!
@heavy ruin Looking good! I like the strong graphic shapes of the design, text, and background. The color of the text and graphic make for a nice unified feel, and the raven has a really nice contrast. Nice work!
@marble sentinel Great colors in this! I like the high key contrast and subtle blues and yellows in this image, it makes for a nice balance and gives the image a really dream like quality. The way it fades into a sort of watercolor paper type texture works really well!

@feral oak very nie work, Brenda! I like that you added a stroke to the text, it helps it stand out a little more with contrast. The only nitpick I have, would be to alight the elements more to the center of the globe, right now they look a liiitle bit to the right. This will make the design look even more balanced 😉 Nicely done!
Cool work @cerulean shoal! I like how the colors are popping in your composition. My only suggestion would be to reduce a little bit the amount of detail, especially for the sky area, since it's looking sharper than the trees and buildings. For that, you might duplicate the original image and then apply different amounts between the copies and blend them with a layer mask. Let me know if you need any help. Well done 🙂
Great work @topaz bone! Loved the way that the bird's edges are looking, you did an amazing job masking it. The dark atmosphere and the color palette are looking very on point. About the first version, my only suggestion would be to work on the yellow areas clipped to the letters of the compass, right now they seem to make it lose a bit of contrast against the background, especially on the letter E. 👇 Nicely done!

Hey @gilded flame very nice, thanks for sharing! The transition will depend on the amount of imformations that exists through the pixels.

Cool job, @loud mist! I like how colorful the images are. This is just an optional step, but if you want, you might unify all the images, by applying the same effect in all of them, this will help to blend them and give the impression that all belong together. 😉 Nice job!
You did a very impressive work blending the images, @spark wedge! The way that you managed the contrast, lights, and colors turned out into a great composition. Awesome job!
Lovely work @spare badge! I like that you played with different colors for the background and how sharp the brush strokes are looking, especially on the feathers of the bird and on Costa Rica. Beautiful job!
@sturdy vault the brush strokes turned out super cool in your image, Pam! Loved how those on the plants from the background have a consistent direction, the same with the water. Very nice work!
Nice texture in this one @oak mist I like how your image has a nice amount of contrast, it creates a cool look for the flowers and the leaves behind. If you want the brush strokes to appear a little more, you might reduce the texture's opacity just a touch. This is just a personal preference, of course 😉 Good job!

@sweet fern I like how that you added some subtle brush texture to the text on the first image. The strokes worked out very nicely on the dog's fur on the second. This is just personal preference, but if you want to make the Harley with more contrast, you might pick a cyan or light green from the top left and apply it to the text as a fill. This will help the whole composition look more consistent as well. Great job!
@obtuse plover beautiful work, Jacquie! Loved the colors that you added and how the text is blending to the background. Nicely done!
Good to see you're back for this set @mortal crescent! I like that you made the whole image be more vivid without oversaturating it, especially with the water and the tree from the center. Awesome work!
This turned out really cool @dusky wave! Loved that the background brings a movement feel for the composition. My only suggestion would be to fine-tune the top text contrast, making it more visible, after that if you want, you might play with some overlaps with the statue and the ellipse 😉 Great work!
Nice work @hot thicket! Loved that you added a drop shadow to the text to preserve the contrast The textures on the background and the brush strokes are feeling very on point. Well done!
Oh this is looking super cool @arctic rover! I like how the brush strokes turned out in your image, especially on the trunk and on the feathers. The colors for the text worked out very amazingly. 💯
@harsh helm glad you had fun with this one, Marluxia! The noise applied to the images was a very nice touch. The masking is looking very on point as well. I’m wondering if you might scale the shapes up just a bit more, so it will fill more the empty top area of the composition, it doesn’t need to be that much, just a bit, so the edges will still have a breathing space 😉 Nicely done!
@simple idol wooow, outstanding work, Biola! Loved that you played with some overlaps between the flowers and the text! The colors are looking great as well! 💯
Beautiful work, @compact pecan! The brush strokes worked out very nicely through the bird's feathers. This is just a personal preference, but I wonder if you could make the shadows a little bit more subtle, especially the one from the flowers, so they could still be able to separate the images from the background without being distractive. 🙂 Well done!

Day 1 is looking very nice @untold iron! The way that you brought more blue to the water made it look like a beautiful summer day. If you want, you might use the straighten tool to align the horizon line of the image. Here's a quick video that shows how the tool works 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRw78ovMq0E
Lovely composition @wicked abyss! The way that the paint is looking very consistent throught the elements made it look super cool. If you want, you might use a levels adjustment layer to brighten the areas on the right, if that's the effect you're going for, of course 😉 Nicely done!

@young karma Very cool! These are your own photos? They look excellent. I especially like the first one you posted, the extent to which you pushed the HDR effect is great. It really pushes the colors and contrast a lot but still looks believable. It's a nice balance. These are great, nice work!
@loud mist Really cool use of the vector shapes! The photos within them work really well being brighter than the background image. The blur really helps to draw focus to them as well. I like the geometric looking shapes. Nice job!
@swift tinsel Really great style and pattern to that background circle! The nice job with the overlapping shapes of the rectangles and the statue. This is really just a nitpick, but it might look nice to sample a really dark blue from the water instead of straight black for the bars in the center. Really nice balance to this design!
@dusky wave Great colors! The orange of the bird and warm colors of the flowers stand out really nicely against the cooler colors of the background. I also really like the heavily stylized texture you got, but still maintained the crisp edge. Very nice!
@bold valley Really cool texture on the flower! I like the bold pop of yellow/orange against the cool background. That along with the blurred background creates a really strong focal point. Looks good!
@lucid plover Really cool combination of styles here! The bold colors along with the paper cut-out looking butterflies and stylized background give this a really fairy tale type of feel. Kind of makes me think of Alice in Wonderland too for some reason, hah. Really nice texture overall!

@topaz bone Really cool colors! The whole piece definitely has a lot of pop and boldness to it. I like how you handled the text which fits that bold feeling nicely. I wonder if it might look nice to tone down the texture on the text a bit to further separate it from the texture of the flowers and the rest of the image. It might give everything a slightly more clear read. Really nice work on this!
@proud fjord Nice work Pamela, it could be nice to see the original image as well to get a better idea of the edits made. It could be nice to increase the contrast with a levels or curves adjustment on Lizzie a bit to make her a stronger focal point and reduce a bit of the glare. Nice job 👍
@untold iron Great colors and pattern in the background of this design! I really like the sort of swirly pattern. There's a really nice balance between warm and cool colors in this design too. The lime green for the text was a really nice choice. I really like the style!
@safe linden Great contrast of the bird against the background with that orange/blue combination! The bold colors of the flowers stand out really nicely too. I like the shadow effect you did with the text, but it might help to give the shadow a slight blur, and lower the opacity just a bit. It might give it a more natural feel. Nice work!
@fluid wharf Looking good! I like the softness the mixer brush creates in the feather. I really like the second design with the patterned background and more leaves. I think the extra flowers and leaves give the image a nice balance of shapes and the background adds some nice interest to the design. Nice job!
@ember crown Really interesting effect! Very heavily textured, almost an embossed look to it. Looks like it would have a bumpy texture to the touch. Really liking the colors here, the red and green contrast nicely. My only suggestion is I think it might help if the front face of the text was a bright color as opposed to the sides of it. I think the read of the text against the dark background could be a bit more clear at a glance. Nice work with these effects!
@compact pecan This looks great! I think the shadow adjustments help balance everything out a bit more. Really great colors and composition. Very nice focus on the eagle 👍

Sam, this is an unedited pic. I loaded it for an opportunity to have Lizzie edit it during tomorrow’s Photo editing class.
bleak fossil
@proud fjord Ahh yes, I see. I think I misunderstood when reading it initially!
@wicked abyss The patterned background is looking really nice! The only thing is I feel like the bird could be a bit brighter to pop out more from the slightly darker background. I think since they both have a lot of yellow separating them via value would be your best bet. I noticed the bird has a bit of a faded tail and wings, I'm not sure if this was a stylistic choice or if you had issues with selecting the edges cleanly, but the Refine Edge Brush tool is great for complex edges like that if you haven't tried it. Nice job on this design!
@neat sparrow Really cool idea with the transition effect! I especially love the color and pattern the effect created in the tail of the second bird. The texture of the birds contrast really well against the smooth gradient of the background. Looks good!

@simple idol Nice job with the masking of the text behind the bird, it adds some nice depth. This is totally just personal preference, but I wonder if making the red a bit darker and therefore more subdued might make it compete a bit less with the bird. Though I see what you were going for with mirroring the color from the bird's wing and flowers. Really nice style to this, looks good!
@haughty gale Ooh, really interesting to see a version with more subdued colors! They kind of make me think about the more neutral colors of dried/pressed flowers. I really like the texture difference between the background and the rest of the image. It makes for a nice contrast 👍
@eternal mica Very cool style to this one Ted! The seamless texture and soft contrast between the background and flowers kind of gives me a sort of mural on a wall feel. This is an odd nitpick, but I feel like the feet and deep dark areas beneath the branch break away a bit from that high key painted look of the rest of the image, and as a result compete with the rest of the image for attention. Perhaps lowering the contrast in that area would give the parrot's faces a bit more pull and focus. Really nice work with this, great colors!

@arctic rover Great image to use for this challenge! I love the colors in this one. I really like how you used colors from the scene in the text, the design has a really nice cohesive feel. The textures really add to that "dream land" type of feel too. Looking good!
@spark wedge Really great compositing of these images! The water effect turned out great and the color grading really ties it all together 👍
@simple idol I think a little might do well to balance the visual weight a bit more. But you could keep it asymmetrical still, maybe just enough to give it a bit more balance.
@bronze bluff Really strong visual read to this design! I like the overlapping of the shapes here. I feel like the compass rose in the bottom right could even be a bit bigger to balance out the heavy visual weight of the left side. Though I suppose you could get in danger of making the bottom shapes too crowded if scaled too much, just a minor thought. Really cool look to this design!
@cold oyster Nice job! Really cool combination of images. The whole thing has a sort of dreamlike feel to it. I love the strong contrast and the sort of monochromatic color scheme gives it a really interesting feel. Nice work!
@sacred field Great job marc! I really like the contrast between the background and bird/flowers in terms of texture. It separates them nicely. The bold colors are reading really well together too. I like the sort of swirl effect in the background 👍
@wet thistle I like the style of this one! Really interesting take on the colors. They still have a really nice contrast against the background without being extremely bold. They have a really nice harmony together and the textured background gives the whole image a bit of grit. Really cool!
@loud mist Really nice combination of images! The birds have a nice balance together. Really nice job with the texture and painterly effect in this one. Overall I feel like the image could be a bit brighter using a levels or curves adjustment just to boost the light tones a bit. Great colors!
@spare badge Nice job with the painterly texture effect! Really nice composition and balance of shapes here. The design reads really clearly against the background. Really nice gradient style to the background as well. Looking good!
@sturdy vault Oooh, I love the effect on the water in the foreground! You really pushed that impressionistic painterly feel with that part, very nice. Really great effect and texture to this whole image. The direction of the brush strokes really helps add to the painted look. Nice work!
@oak mist Cool texture to this one! I really like the heavily painted/illustrated feel of the flowers in the background. I feel like the bird seems a bit dark compared to the background, I feel like it could use a bit of a boost to the bright tones with a levels adjustment. Maybe even darkening down the background ever so slightly if needed as well? Just a thought, looks good!
@sweet fern Really cool to see multiple designs for this challenge! I really like the sort of watercolor style effect in the backgrounds. Both of these turned out very well. My only nitpick is the saturation of the bright red text seems a little overpowering. Maybe decreasing the saturation just a touch might give everything a better balance? Nice work!

@eternal mica I loved the paint effect on your image, especially the nice thexture that it created. I believe you applied the stroke layer style to the text and when you masked to create the overlapy, the stroke became the same shape as the mask, especially on the S 👇

I started with the HDR toning and then went into CR. it turned the bright spot of the sky a greenish color and I couldn't seem to get rid of it in CR. So I masked it out of the effect and then painted in a yellow. And i didn't think there was enough blue in the water so I painted it in too
