Todayâs task was focused on color change mainly working with đđđ˛/đĻđŽđđđŋđŽđđļđŧđģ and đđŧđšđŧđŋ đđŽđšđŽđģđ°đ˛ adjustment layers.
I began with the original photo and experimented with Hue/Saturation to transform the background so it matched the orange shade of the polo the girl was wearing.
It felt really interesting watching how just a few tweaks could completely shift the mood of the image.
For the second edit, I layered two Hue/Saturation adjustments, which allowed me to change both the color of the television behind her and the overall background.
While editing, I noticed some lines on the wall that I didnât like. At first, I reached for the normal brush tool, but it didnât give me the effect I wanted. Frustrated, I revisited the tutorial and discovered that what I actually needed was the Spot Healing Brush Tool. The moment I tried it and it worked perfectly, I couldnât help but laugh at myself. After failing on the first attempt and then finally getting it right, I was honestly so happy my head wan burst, as we say in pidgin. Those little wins are the sweetest part of this journey.
I wrapped up by using Color Balance to make the photo sharper and more refined. Looking at the before-and-after slides made me appreciate how much Iâve grown, even in just a few days.
To be honest, I havenât been perfectly consistent. I skipped Day 4 and 5 because I struggled to fully understand the exercises. Consistency is not as easy as it sounds, but Iâm learning that the real progress comes when you push through setbacks. Iâm back now, and Iâm back stronger with the force of the Holy Ghost guiding me.
As a little extra, I also designed something for my brand on the 4th slide. For those who donât know, outside of my design journey, I work as a brand registration agent, helping entrepreneurs legalize their businesses here in Nigeria. (Just thought Iâd chip that in đ).
This challenge is stretching me in ways I didnât expect, but itâs fulfilling to see my growth. Day by day, edit by edit, Iâm coming closer to achieving my second big goal of the year. Tomorrowâs lesson is all about Brushes, and Iâm excited to see how far I can push my creativity.
Iâm proud of todayâs progress, and as always, Iâm open to feedback if you have any corrections or advice. đ
