๐ Rescue
I kept adding detail and now it's a mess โ I've killed it
FIX IT NOW
- First: go to the Gallery, swipe left on the piece โ Duplicate. You now have a backup copy. Do this before touching anything
- On the original: hide layers one by one by tapping the checkmark on each. Keep hiding until the piece looks good again. When it does โ you've found the layer or layers that broke it
- Delete the problem layer, or reduce its opacity to 20โ30% rather than deleting โ sometimes a detail layer at low opacity is exactly right
- If you've been working mostly on one flat layer with no separation: Adjustments โ Hue/Saturation/Brightness โ reduce Saturation by 15โ20, increase Brightness slightly. Then Adjustments โ Gaussian Blur at 1โ2px. This won't make it painterly โ but it softens the harshest edges enough to assess what's worth keeping versus what needs to go
โ Back to all cards
