I’ve had quite a struggle with lesson 1 but I think I finally have enough figured out to get photos into the template. I’m used to using clipping masks and sometimes my brain got stuck on that. I don’t know if there was another way to add the background, I copied and pasted a Shadowhouse canvas and I have to look up some tutorials on using text in Paintshop. I’ll have to practice on some other templates, this was fun once I began to understand how to use it.
This thread is so tempting, so many great ideas, so much to learn!
One of those things to learn is how to upload a photo. I have tried two browsers(Opera and Chrome) and every time it freezes the browser. I click on Upload Images, go to my files and click on the one I want to upload and then it freezes. I finally go to task manager to close it. I checked and the image is 600×600 165kb jpg.
I didn’t have time during the week to work on the mask workshop so I started yesterday. I am not a scrapbooker but I’d like to learn the techniques. I’ve been using Affinity Photo for a few years and did not expect to be as confused as I am trying to do these masks. Will these tutorials be available after today? I’d still like to learn PSP and these skills but I’ve run short of time and brain cells! In Affinity I’ve done a lot with adjustments, a little compositing, using mask layers and have used templates with masks but these were clipping masks.

I am so late to class, but I’ll try to post if the technology will cooperate. I signed up for the bootcamp because I want to learn where to find the tools on Paintshop. I have been using Affinity for a few years but was given Paintshop by a friend who knew I was interested in photo editing and was going to throw it out. My interest is more in the artistic effects than in scrapbooking but I thought it would be a good way to start learning where things are.
