Cassel Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Minka, you are correct: you can showcase anyone or anything you love! Sue, what was the issue with the template of the day?\ Jennifer, that will be a great tribute if you continue on this theme! Do you notice the hard edges on the left and right of the larger photo? If you use a soft eraser tip, you can soften that edge a little if you want. Jnet, you chose a similar theme as mine! :) To answer your question, if you want to save for printing, you will likely want as little compression as possible but that will make a large file. If it is only for viewing online, on a monitor, a compression value of 20 will usually not even show much compression. Lynda, how did you modify the original template to end up with that heart shape? Was it still a mask just like the original? Ann, if your background paper appeared on top of the photo, it might just be a layering issue in the Layers palette. Did you see where that paper ended up? Was it "stuck" inside the mask group? If so, you can just click it, and drag the layer below. But you will have other pages to practice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Lamp Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I tried to use only use only the stuff from the links Cassel posted. This was a nice challenge & I learned a couple of new things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Thomas Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Carole, I don't have Dropbox, so I tried to download it, I found the preview of the template, but no download button, Perhaps I had to sign up, which I didn't do. If possible would you be able to send it me via email, if not it's OK. I downloaded the previous ones from the very first love story challenge. I've had a new laptop since.

Cassel Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Sue, if it is in French, it is the word Télécharger, and it is on top right. And no, you don't need an account to download from Dropbox. Maybe give it a try again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Thomas Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Carole, I retrieved the files from dropbox, but they were the templates from 2016 challenge. Which I have. I will have to download winzip7 in order to open the files from the French site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Sue, in the screenshots of the tutorial at the bottom, is it the "old" template or the "new" one? I wonder if the link was cached from the previous instance of the page? Also, you don't need WinZip to unzip the file. You can use 7-zip or Winrar or any other unzipping program.

Gerry Landreth Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Baby Xavier was joined by Baby Amelia this past September. She is my mother's 6th great-grandchild. After a challenging year, with more challenging months ahead, Amelia's giggle lets me forget the ugly for a little while.

Lynda DiGregor Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Carole, I just used a different mask. Actually, I think it's one of yours as I have it labeled as Cass-PhotoMask-Heart01. I did change the template so I could put photos into the little squares but decided against using them. I used your Custom Playing Card script for the cards. Kind of went of script...hope you don't mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carole/Cassel: Here are screenshots of my design. One with the background paper over the photo and one showing where the background paper was located on my layers palette; at the very bottom! *scratching my head over this* And I also don't understand how my work-around with the photo shows up as a "promoted selection" ??
