I did change my workspace a couple of days ago to dsAug2023. However, when I looked under View Toolbars, it shows ds72022. How can I change this to my Aug workspace? I tried unchecking it and reloading the Aug workspace, but it keeps coming back.

Still don't have it.

Blur is under Add/Remove Noise. I have 2023 Ultimate

25.2.0.58x64

I don't have it. Do you think I should run the update again?

I updated, but can't find the hazy photo fix.

I made this card one Christmas for family members. It was a big hit.

Still playing with vectors. The basic train shape was a preset shape from WmTransport font. I changed it quite a bit. I made Santa several years ago from a PSD tutorial before I really knew how to use the pen tool. The wheels are from Harold's pips font imported as preset shapes. The train tracks are from a vector dash line. I just noticed a few things that I have to tweak.

One thing this workshop brought to my attention was tubes. The frame was made with VectorTube. I used the teapot tubes individually and changed the color to blue.

Mitten from Lab Module 9-12. Made my own snowflake pattern from brush and cass seamless pattern script. Edited to cover pattern showing through fur.

The balloon tutorial is a very old one that I found on the web. It is very easy to follow. PSP Balloons Tutorial (archive.org)

Last one today. I made another balloon tube, this one is a straight tube. The graphics are from Summit Soft.

I am still so fascinated by the cass directional tube script that I bound it to my workspace. There was a simple tutorial for a balloon which I made into a directional tube. The font is Ambidexter, a free font. The confetti and curled ribbons are tubes.

I am still playing with vectors. Today, I created a Halloween bat that I traced from a Halloween clipart from Summitsoft. I added the mouth and fangs as well as the gray lines on the wings.

Between Lesson 7 and the customdirectionaltube script, I cannot stop playing. Today, I made a sequin using a Scrap Tutorial. The fill is a pattern created in Photoshop. The font is Farewell Angelina.

I made a Christmas rope using the customdirection script. I adjusted the size to 50 with 8 across and 9 down. I think it came out a lot better than my previous ropes.

I found that I have been skipping the step size. I started using 50 for the starting size, 5 across and 3 down, which seems to be working ok. I going to try increasing the rows across and down and see if that makes a difference.

I tried to make a string with the cass customdirection script. It saved a lot of work, but it doesn't seem to be as tight as the ones from Carole. Carole, am I missing something?

Carole, thank you so much for a wonderful workshop. I am going to repeat it so that maybe some of it will stick for future use. The directional tube script is addictive, and I love playing with it. I need to make some more elements to use with it. All your workshops are great but this one was outstanding because the subject is so difficult for me.

I purchased the cass directional tube script and spent a lot of time today converting some of my graphics to directional tubes. It was so much fun that I couldn't stop playing with it. The diamond and the amethyst are from my Build a Kit. I made the heart today.

Experimenting: Carole, is there a method to distributing the hearts equally? I used the brush palette to change to direction for vectorpaint and vectorstroke.

I would not have been able to make the shape prior to this lesson. The vector stroke is very familiar to me since I use it a lot. The diamonds were made from the cass gem script, and they were made into a tube since I am addicted to bling. The font is MrsBeasly, a nice thick font which is free.

Carole, I remembered you once before recommended the brush, and I did try it. It didn't work because I forgot to change the brush variance to directional. I am still trying to perfect the project. Once it was published, I noticed several things that I want to change. Fortunately, I saved it step by step so that I don't have to start from scratch.

My niece was kind enough to send me some of her engagement photos. I had no problems with the text, but it took me forever to decide how to treat the photos. I made an ellipse and used the Vector Tube for the hearts. I also used the cass edge brushes. I had to go back to add the shadows that I forgot initially.

I love using text on a curve. I usually have to play with it a little to make sure it is placed properly. The font is sailorboy grunge with a layer style applied.
