Lesson 7: Partial path elements the bracelet and my initial K. I used an emboss with the special effects on the K.

Lesson 6: Chain link around a letter and the banner. Must say I did have problem with the letter, the chain when applied was huge 96pt! I had to keep resizing it. It went awry but I kept at it. Here are my attempts... Now the letter is shown here, I can see I still need to practice closing the gaps.

Lesson 5: Text in a Circle and Text on a path. Must admit I'm finding Affinity a bit odd. Whereas you could insert a picture from one layer into another separate layer when working on two things and then bring them together, it doesn't always resize well. I get a square box with x on each corner instead of the o. and it just seems a lot of faffing about to save as a jpeg and then bring the item into place. Also the resizing: there is no scale or perspective button - Im really new to Affinity so I probably need real back to basic training session. Anyway here is my take on this exercise...

Thank you Jeni, that's really useful to know. I will give it a try. Kx

Question please: how do I get a bespoke template saved to AFFINITY PHOTO? I would like to have 600 x 600 transparent ready for these workshops. At the moment I have saved a blank version in my file. Many thanks.

Lesson 4: cutting out a hole in a vector - Cups. Here is my cup and mug. Looks like an angry leaf asking when is he getting his cuppa!!

Leason 3: Leaves vectors saved into assets file

Lesson 2: preset shapes here is my attempt - I took a screenshot and then saved the image as a jpeg 600x600

Lesson 1: OK, seems I posted under the wrong thread, so here it is. My first attempt with AFFINITY PHOTO on the 90 day trial.

Lesson 1: here is my first attempt at the heart and arrow in AFFINITY PHOTO on the 90 day trial. Just played around with the colour settings.

Day 11 - frames. The tip I did like was, for example, using glitter and pulling it into the pattern section so you could use the floodfill tool which I did with my frames, and the text "Swinging on a Wire". I also duplicated the pink frame to make it look like the petal had flipped behind and over it. So, here is my final project. I've had fun refreshing my skills with PSP. Always good to come back to it after a long break.

Day 9 Project 4 - this was a trip to Poland that my sister and I took to meet up with my dad's family. We are here with his sister, Aunt Helena.

Day 9 - border selections. I am following the instructions to floodfill my borders white, but nothing is happening. Any ideas please? Think I solved it. I changed the match mode to opacity on the floodfill, and it worked!

Day 7 Glitters and 3 photos - still playing catch up. Here is my attempt. I must get some more accessories.

Day 5 Project 2: Writing in chocolate - Grandad and granddaughter. Script Segoe 96. Elements from Curio Pantry spring mini
