Thanks for a great lesson!

Thanks for the idea of the putting the alignment shortcuts into the toolbar. I hadn't thought to customize it.

You asked for feed back on different versions of Affinity. I'm using 2.6.2 and I do not see the option to float window of new document in the settings interface. Maybe it was moved? And I have a question about adding the various papers into the project file. I see that you open the paper file then copy and paste into the project file. I have gotten lazy and drag them directly from the Finder window into the Affinity project. Is there a difference in the end result of doing it my lazy way? These tutorials have been really easy to follow along. Thank you for creating and sharing them.

I have Affinity Photo for both iPad and Mac. I have Affinity Designer for iPad only. The little bit I've used Designer makes me content with using only Photo. Thank you for teaching these classes. They've been really helpful.

This reminds me to take more photos. It's the best way to come home with a selection that best reflects the day--overall scene and the details. I love this. It means you'll have a great memory to look back on and enjoy more for telling the complete story. I've been going back to scrap 20 year old photos and wishing I'd done this.

Thanks, I'll go back a review Day 3!

@Krystyna Nicholls Your page 3--This is a really effective way to use the split color technique. It enhances the photo so much. I remember it involves masking and a recolor adjustment layer but have forgotten the method for doing it. I have to go back and review it.

Day 5. The black outline isn't part of the page but I included it in the screenshot to make the page more readable here.

Pages 4 and 5

I really appreciate your feedback...I'd like to try this and understand adding a rectangle that fits a smaller page size, but I'm not sure what you mean by adjusting for an even stroke and no fill. Thanks!

you're brave @Jeni Simpson! I could never jump out of a plane and barely like flying.

@Corrie Kinkel - thanks for sharing how to make the frame. It does seem simple but also easy to forget! Here's Page 3. I want to find another way to make the text standout on a busy background. I like having it directly on the photo but will choose a plainer one next time for this type of title.

We had rain a few weeks ago. It was a relief since the dry winds and low humidity created a high fire hazard.

Here's page 2. Again in Affinity.
