  1. Thank you, Michele! It seems everyone has a different name for it. I have some from Palvinka, and she calls it Photomask; apparently, Anna Aspnes calls it PhotoBlenz… … 😄
  2. I also like them a lot, Ann. I found Katie Pertiet through Pinterest suggestions that appeared in my email. This is her Website, and sometimes we get lucky and find items at a lower price. Here are two examples of such frames; there are many more options. https://www.katiepertietdesigns.com/store/index.php/product/spill-frame-layers-06/ https://www.katiepertietdesigns.com/store/index.php/product/framed-spill-layers-01/
  3. Ann, this is at least how Katie Pertiet designer, refers to this type of frames (Framed Spill Layers). I haven’t seen anyone else call them the same. I think Anna Aspnes calls them differently.
  4. This is a layout to practice the Lab12-M07 tutorials. The tutorials (Embossed Metal Element – Zigzag Stitch – Diamond #3 pattern) were created in PSP, while the rest were made in PSE. Still, I have a lot to learn to work in PSE. I used a template (Quick Page) from Katie Pertiet. The font, Pea Robyn, was included in the file.
  5. Julie, without the AC during these scorching days, it was definitely no fun. I love this kind of layout with a spill frame. Interesting name “Tiramisu Designs”! Someone probably really loves this dessert. 😊
  6. Thank you, Julie! Great to see you're back. 🙂
  7. Mary, the effect isn't complicated, and I believe it can also be achieved in PSP. Affinity makes it so much easier due to features like Clipping Mask, among others. He used an Exposure Adjustment Layer, Lens Blur, and the Blend Range Tool to darken and blur the background image, so the effect would stand out, as he mentioned. The images he used weren't free, so I had to search online for similar images. Essentially, the effect involves using the Selection and Perspective Tools, desaturating the image, changing the Blend Mode to Screen, and making a few additional adjustments. He creates and sells brushes, and the Water Splash Brush was one of them; I looked online for a free one. Screenshots of his take are below. (Make Anything Transparent in Affinity Photo | Easy Glass Effect) from IAMRENSI.
  8. Oh, Dawn, I'm really sorry to hear that. Take your time to let your wrist heal and focus on everything you need to. It would be great if you could drop by occasionally to let me know how you’re doing. Wishing you the best and hoping for a speedy recovery! 💟
  9. Linda, I'm taking the course offered by Affinity Revolution. However, I am also learning from various YouTube channels.
  10. Thank you, Carole. 🙂 I remember Sara, and if I'm not mistaken, she participated in the first Affinity Bootcamp, but I didn't know she was part of Rensi's Skool group. I got to know the Skool (by name) when I watched his YouTube tutorial, "Creative Typography Effect for Beginners," which featured the Chili Pepper. I replicated it and posted it here a few months ago. I'm not into photo manipulation, but when I come across something cool like this, I like to give it a try. This glass effect technique isn't difficult; I've seen others teach the same, but for me, Rensi's approach was the most creative. With each tutorial, I learn something new: with the chili pepper, it was manipulating the image with the Mesh Tool. From this tutorial, I learned about the Exposure Adjustment Layer, Lens Blur, and so on. Right now, in addition to PSP and PSE, I want to complete the Affinity Designer Module 1 course, which I find very interesting. I'd love to have more time to play with the programs! 😄
  11. This is the second attempt using a Copilot image.
  12. YouTube suggested a video tutorial, and I decided to try replicating the effect. The channel is called IAMRENSI, and the creator is Dutch. Most of his videos focus on photo manipulation, and I think some of them are really cool. This one is “Make Anything Transparent in Affinity Photo - Easy Glass Effect”. After I tried it once, I decided to try it again with another photo, adding the orange group to another image. So, I asked Copilot for an image with orange trees and a wooden table. After that, I accepted some of the suggestions, like sunlight and a fruit basket. This is my first attempt. The water brush was a freebie I found online.
  13. As always, it's a joy to see your Wildlife Calendar, Ann. 🙂
  14. Tilly is adorable! I really like the photo template with the three circles stacked.
  15. Handsome guy! It looks like he's posing for the camera and saying... "This is my best side" 😄 I had to laugh at the quote..
