I agree with Corrie. This song came to mind too, it seems humans are doomed to repeat past mistakes over and over. Even in everyday life I've found myself saying, why haven't I learned, why do I keep doing the same thing over and over?
Thank you Cristina. This is very helpful. I did watch "Katie the Creative Lady". they were good, except the loooong time going over her kit she is using. Her teaching is largely to sell her kits. I am going to look into the HTG course you mentioned, at least it will teach me where and how to use the tools. I liked the YouTube videos of his and it turns out I did see the Melissa Shanhun one as well, it was already on my bookmarks. I need to rewatch it because it was too long ago now. Your words are so right, "I dont need to learn the basics of scrapbooking, but how to do it using the tools PSE has." I should be looking at it from that point of view.
I started learning PSE through the HTG Photo course and have also watched many of his videos on YouTube. The course is very complete and covers every tool and workspace, including the Organizer. It consists of 32 Modules, and the last ones have a few projects. I've learned a lot about PSE, but it is NOT like the Bootcamp here, and I'm not sure if this is how others want to learn the program.
I don't know this forum you mentioned, Donna; it could be interesting.
Susan, I haven't seen many available videos from Melissa Shanhun, and I'm not sure if they exist. I'll watch the video from "Katie the Creative Lady" to see if it is what I want, because I don't need to learn the basics of scrapbooking, but how to do it using the tools PSE has, and are different from PSP.
I watched a YouTube video by Design Method titled "3 Awesome Text Effects in Affinity Photo." It demonstrates three different types of effects: Slice, Rip, and Melt.
The images used are available for download for those who want to follow along.
It includes using the Pen Tool, Erase Blend Mode, and the Liquify Tool, which is similar to the Warp Brush in PSP.
With each new video, I learn something, but I forget it if I don’t practice often. 😄
