And here's my Bootcamp Project 1 - Dance Like Nobody Is Watching!
I don't have any scrapbooking kits as this is a new venture for me, so I grabbed some assets from Pixabay and Envato Elements. The "photo" isn't one I've taken. It's from my collection of Affinity Photo edits as, if I do decide to embrace scrapbooking as much as photo manipulation, then I plan to use scrapbook pages to showcase my Affinity creations. 😊
Yay! The forums are back! As per Carole's request, here's my Bootcamp Sandwich which I originally posted in the other thread. No bacon or pickles for me but I'll take an extra slice of tomato. I also like a nice cup of tea to wash it all down.
Hurrah the forum is fixed! Carole you must have had a headache over this, especially now with the start of a whole new project.
It still feels a bit awkward, but today is only the second day that I'm opening Affinity. Before it was mentioned in the Campus I had never even heard of this program. I'm slowly finding my way and seeing how things are done. Yesterday I spend some time just browsing around all the settings, some are clear and others I have to learn what they are doing. For instance I was looking for an undo, couldn't find it but realized that CtrlZ can be used like all the other keyboard shortcuts I'm used to!!!
Carole is there a cheat sheet of all the tools in the tools toolbar on the left side of the screen? There are so many and I'm curious what will be used mostly and what can be skipped because I have seen some that I think I will need and a lot that I don't know what they are doing.
For this layout I didn't use a kit but everything comes from my stash. The background paper is from DigitalScrapbook's blogtrain January 2025 and the red stripe is by Jessica Dunn. The scatters are by Marissa Lerin and the waterdrops come from my stash. I made the watersplash some time ago with a tutorial for PSP. The title font is Hot Fire and very fitting for my photo which I took a couple of days ago. On my way home after doing some shopping I heard wailing sirens coming closer and the police was already at the scene closing of an area. There was a lot of smoke and I took some pictures. Nobody was hurt but a part of the building has substantial damage. Luckily the old church and parsonage could be saved.
To Angela Tilghman regarding copying pictures.... Use Place Picture on Tool bar. By clicking on the icon, you will be taken to your folders. After choosing your photo, click open (or double click) and you can place it on your project as a new layer
I agree about scale with object. I saw a video where the presenter talked about having it checked all the time. She actually wishes it was checked by default. I tend to agree with her as I check that box before making any other adjustments.
