Can we be completely honest for a second? We just crossed the midpoint of the year. If you look back at January, most of us had big plans to finally launch that business, build that portfolio, or get that side hustle off the ground. But life happened, classes got busy, and right now, those ideas are still sitting on a piece of paper. ​I’m in the exact same boat with my own business goals. I’m scaling my digital marketing agency, and I committed to adding three world-class, high-converting projects to my professional portfolio before this quarter ends. ​So, I want to propose a mid-year rescue mission. Let’s finish the second half of this year differently. If you have a business idea or a brand you’ve been putting off, I will build your entire online platform on WordPress or Shopify completely free of charge. I am waiving my design fees because I need your project to make my portfolio shine. Let's team up, stop stalling, and put something real out into the world. If you’re ready to finally take action, just come talk to me after

Hello everyone. I'm Favour, a new member of this community Hoping to learn and interact with everyone here in the community

Hello everyone! I wanted to share a technique I used on a project where the material was very poor quality but still required and couldn't be modified. However, when it came to cropping it, it was almost impossible to know where to cut because it was pixel upon pixel. However, it was resolved precisely. First of all, I want to clarify one point. In these cases, the AI ​​reinterprets, making it impossible to maintain fidelity to something that isn't clearly visible. However, it gave me the key to reaching an agreement with the client. It's simple, but I'll share it with you. Take the image, run it through Topaz Giga at 2x magnification, and you'll see that it regenerates the image, never exactly in the details, but in the shape, which allows you to crop it. By creating a layer with Topaz at 2x, you can save the selection and apply the mask to the original image. You'll notice that the shape matches, and then you'll need to sharpen it and, above all, reduce noise. This way, the image is enhanced, giving a polished and detailed finish. I hope this is helpful!
