I don't get the option.

I couldn't save a file as a png in export.

Unless it is the font you used, check out how you spelt Lake. There isn't another k to compare it with, only the letter h. Which I believe you mistakenly used.

I haven't seen anything yet. In the email Carole states to stay tuned, which indicates to me to look out for upcoming information. As yet you are not missing anything.

There isn't any way to know, unless the owl is captured and subjected to testing. Quite the phenomenon, if it is the work of mother nature (which I personally don't believe it is) and not humans.

Your link asked for select all, for cookies, which I never accept. I haven't searched anywhere else. I was expressing my own personal thoughts, and knowledge of it not being natural, but caused by some human intervention.

I just clicked on Ann's link, it asked to accept all cookies. Which I refrain from doing. I purely expressed my own thoughts of it not being genetic, but something which was caused by human intervention. Strange only the top of the feathers are coloured, and not underneath. Either way, it has generated a topic of conversation.

When I first saw the photo I felt that it wasn't real. Unlike Albino birds which are caused by a genetic mutation. In other words albios are lacking in melanin, the pigment resposible for dark colours. Many colours, such as orange hues in plumage can come from pigments in the food that they eat. Not the case in the Snowy Owl, as their diet soley consists of mice, voles, rabbits and the like. Snowy Owls have very little melanin.Which mean they can not change colour. The Snowy Owls white plumage, with barring is a natural camouflage for their habitat. I doubt this colouring is the result of genetics, in my opinion humans have played a part somehow. One of my recent Template workshop layouts was about Melanin and Keratin. By the way this Snowy Owl, is a female

Same here. The campus loaded instantly when I checked in this morning, and if I'm not mistaken, you are an hour ahead of the UK.

It's lovely. I have put a png version file in facebook, for anyone to download and use.

Nope, it's Photo 2.6.2

Due to the compression, the image isn't going to be the best. So what I have done is posted a png file on the facebook page for download. I did change it to gold, which can be changed to suit your needs.

That would be great, thanks. I'm sure your list is growing of tutorials to do. That particular effect, like so many does give a look of realism. In PSP it is ever so easy to do.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

There is a blog post. Type in Selection to path post. And it will pop up. At the time I debated whether or not to download it, as it needs another soft ware to download in order for it to work. You can either download both or just the script.

Thank you Carole, I suppose I'm predictable, when it comes to my unique style, as many of us are. lol

And here is my day 7. I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Affinity. The learning has only just begun. I am looking forward to learning so much more. Thank you ever so much Carole for introducing us to Affinity. What will we ever do without you! I used the Cowslip photo as a background paper, created a date stamp. I created an outlined text for the title WILD. which is quick and easy to do. Instead of using labels or tags, I often like to use brushes. As many will know, I am not a fan of patterned papers, I find they can be a distractation from the main focus, being the photo or photos. Which to me must take presidence. I have one more week at home in the UK, before returning to the prairies. My little girls and I have sauntered through woods and fields in search of wild flowers, creating memories, which I will undoubtably cherrish and showcase.

2 days ago, I mentioned to Carole in a message, that the campus was intermittently slow, it would even take a while to load, after clicking on the bell. This afternoon, I had problems clicking on save, after editing a comment. The save would not change to saving. Some of these issues happened, before the campus finally wouldn't load for many of us several days ago. Until, that is Carole resolved the issue.

Speaking for myself, I'm sold on Affinity, even though I have been using it for a mere fortnight. There are bound to be tools which you'll have in one program and not the other, and vice versa, it's inevitable.

I refer to them as self-seeding plants, or volunteer plants. Withinn the farming community we refer to them as self-sown plants

Absolutely!!!! It might be an idea for me to send one to you during this coming winter when the temps plummet to 30c below, that way the ice cream won't defrost in transit. lol

I'm going to suggest to Bee that she deletes the shadows she has, assuming that they were created on their own layer that is, and start again. Making sure that the horizontal and vertal offset settings are the same, lower the opacity and add some blur. Also, make sure the shadow on it's own layer box is checked.

Carole, I have every intention of continuing to use PSP. Also I, very much appreciated your kind commet that you made about my wordart. Here is my day 6. The title and flair buttons were done in PSP, the rest in Affinity. British Wild flowers. From left to right, coastal sea pinks (Thrift family), wild garlic and cowslips. Top flair button: periwinkles, bottom one are violets. I do take a little time scrolling through all the wonderful pages, far to many to comment on individually. All I can say is congratulations to one and all, each and every one are uniquely awesome and inspiring.

For someone who rarely uses templates, or when I do, I tend to change them. I really like this template over all the others in this workshop, as it would be something I'd create my self. In my view, he colours, and subject you chose, has done this template proud.

I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying the Affinity Template Workshop. Although I have incorporated some PSP. The mushrooms are what I had previously created, the tags are what I created some time ago, all I had to do was to add the text. The papers are my own, as like always are the photos, as I only ever use my own photos. The process of adding all the elements, papers, photos, shadows, etc, to complete the page, is almost effortless using Affinity. The more I use it the better I will get, providing I can remember all what I have learnt. I added the tags for better legibility. Carole has to take credit for the effort she puts into doing these workshops.
