Corrie, I am loving your pages, and the descriptions, wonderful, keep it up

Susan, my art is tiny, about A5. As an illustrator many years ago, I managed to go to A4 although all my work was in black and white, or wash, as it was known. I have used some of my work in the workshops. I used one piece in the Greeting Card Workshop, and 4 pieces recently in this template workshop. I only used my graphite illustrations, with some watercolour, and pencils, also black ink.

Dawn, I enjoy a mix of watercolour, watercolour pencils, graphite, and coloured pencils. I use Polychromos and Prismacolor, which I often use along with Inktense and pastels. I have enjoyed some classes with Udemy, I used to go into town for classes, although not since finding online classes.

Oils? Good for you. These are beautiful, and the colours work beautifully with the ribbons and papers you have used. You are very fortunate to have a husband who must be very supportive of your art, too.

Haha, mine has been completely 'blonde' for over 20 years, I'm used to it. I have been getting senior citizen discounts all that time.

Yes, thank you, we have that in English, too, Jacques, I have yet to find the adjustment menu that does the one-step photo fix, and noise removal, although there is a tool for blur and sharpening, and some of those necessities.

Thank you, Rene, when I found that forum, I found your hints for shadows and saved that.

Linda, I noticed one or two of the files had extra on them, and Carole showed us how to remove that extra space...I went back and found that, and started saving before starting, by selecting all and copying, then pasting as 'new from clipboard'. That way, I could ensure there were no extras.

My eyes are not as sharp as they once were, my hair is completely white, blonde, and I hold a wisdom card for pensioners, so please tell me what my tired old eyes do not see, Jacques.

A couple of mine defaulted to .png, and I click that dropdown arrow for the menu, and there are many options for exporting as. Now I have set it for .jpeg, it defaults to that each time.

Olivia has such a beautiful smile, she is so photogenic.

Good for you, Dawn. You will get them done. It might feel lonely, yet some of us are still here rooting for you.

Template 3 extra Affinity Photo 2.6 and PSPx8 I tried and tried to work out how to export and maintain the aspect ratio, and couldn't find anything helpful, so I used PSP to resize. I found this ram in a paddock in Waipiata, he was wild and woolly, he had lived in the hills for years, so wouldn't have been shorn for a long time. The kit used is Winter Repose from Jessica Dunn. The font is Smith Family Script Bold from CreativeFabrica.

Jacques, I would download the others as well, you may not use them, but you could have a play, at least. Some scrapbookers use Designer rather than Photo. I admit I am using Photo and have yet to try the others. I'm like Susan, not enough time in the day, I probably need 48/7 instead of 24/7, or, as Susan said, to live to 150!

Congratulations, Lynda and Ralph. What a lovely journey through time in this page.
