I finally started Project 1. I made 1 set and was not completely happy with it (I used 3 pictures instead of 2). I made a second set and was a little bit happier with it. What did I really learn this time. (I used CrlY some times which I learned about in the Scrapbooking Class earlier). I learned about cropping a picture by using the selection tool, but I did it after it was in my project and that did not work too well. In the first set (Niagra Falls), I did not have room to use the text elements and so I used a Text tool and chose a text that looks kind of like the one in the kit. I used the Color Correction tool a lot. For some reason I am kinda hooked on that tool. I find that it sometimes works much better than the fill tool. I am learning more about the shadows and am glad of the Cheat Sheets you provide. I learned about intensifying a color by using Brightness and Contrast>Levels under “Adjust”. I don’t think I used shadows on the Niagra Falls set, but I don’t think they would have shown up against that dark blue background.
