The video is not available in New Zealand, so I went to Mike Rowe's website and found it...haha, I can imagine that road to be dead boring! Same scenery for hours!

It's too bad you can't get him on YouTube.  He has a channel and does podcasts.  Some are so funny.  Especially the ones where his mom sends him a letter and he reads it.

Day 3  Yosemite is famous for its many waterfalls that especially in spring are spectacular because of the amount of water they get from the melting snow in the mountains. I would have liked to include the thunderous sound they produce when you are near them. I had to make the photo area a bit larger to show the length of the falls to their full glory and I made a frame on this page to give it a bit more "body". Sometimes it is a struggle to get what I want in Affinity; just a frame but it took a while before I realized how to do it. The frame is nothing more than a rectangle with no fill and a stroke, simple ....... The good thing is that I probably won't forget this.

It must have been a breathtaking experience.  Water is so powerful and mesmerizing to watch.  What a great shot this is, the waterfall is framed so nicely between the trees.

Here is a quick day 3 page.  With all the talk about Coober Pedy I couldn't resist going through my photos.  We visited Coober Pedy in August 2008 on our way home from a trip to the Red Centre.  So, here is the Underground Catholic Church.  Lots of houses are underground, it is fascinating, if the family grows, you can just dig out another room!  Later today I'll do another page on my Immigration theme.

Expand  

I love this Jean.  Thank you for sharing.  This is so fascinating.  I had to laugh about if you need more room you just dig out another room.  What blows my mind is there is electricity and I can't see the wires.

My day 2 page. I am trying some things a bit different using the elements of lesson 3 and learning a lot more about PSP. Merci, Cassel.

Expand  

I didn't know waterfalls had types.  That is so cool.

you're brave @Jeni Simpson! I could never jump out of a plane and barely like flying.

Day 3 using PSP again.  As you can see, we loved our little fur baby Bundy.  I just wish I was a far better photographer because I could have had so many more photos of this darling little boy. I am enjoying being able to use text because it has always been one of my weak spots.  I try to take advantage of anything that will teach me more about using text.

Expand  

This is a great shot of Bundy!

Great idea to add the chain link fence in the background Anja.

Here is my page 3 - I used the cass-scattered photos script. The font is Showcard Gothic in a brass gradient.

I enjoy seeing this bit of Malmo. I've never been there, but I feel I know it a bit from my voracious reading of Henning Mankell years ago. He was such a literary treasure.

Expand  

Hi Julie, 

I wasn't familiar with this author. I quickly researched and found that there are also movies based on his books. It is something for me to check out in the future. 🙂

Yes this giant rock is open to experienced climbers but only on certain months of the year, due to weather conditions. It takes a many hours to complete the climb and many choose to stay over night. In the summer evenings you can see tiny lights on the wall where they "camp"  on a small platform hanging on that wall. 😱

Expand  

It must be a sight!

you can always add a rectangle yourself and adjust for an even stroke and no fill.

Expand  

I really appreciate your feedback...I'd like to try this and understand adding a rectangle that fits a smaller page size, but I'm not sure what you mean by adjusting for an even stroke and no fill. Thanks!

Anja, this font fits perfectly the theme/cover page. Great layout.

[Cristina]

Here is Day 3, and again, I created the template to suit my needs.
I used two colors in the title to practice the technique shown in Affinity. It's very interesting.

Cassel, I have PSP 2021 but recently bought the upgrade to latest version 2023, which I would like to use for the rest of this workshop.  I do have several scripts installed now that I bought from you but I would no longer want to use 2021.  Should I uninstall 2021 first before installing 2023 version?  Or uninstall 2021 it after upgrade?
