Lesson 5 video will not play for me. But it looks like nobody else has had trouble with it? And I can't download the guidebook either ?

Lesson 4 - I was doing okay, then I had to pause to tend to something else. It was downhill from there ? I thought I would get fancy and put one of my labels from lesson 2 on my mug....but I got tripped up there. Decided to just put the heart that was on the original . But I guess if I wanted to change the color of the heart on the mug, I think I needed to do that before I pasted it on the vector of the mug....my brain is confused now....so I think I am going to call it 'done' for now. There are more things on my to do list for today.

The guidebook DOES count against your weekly download limit... so I will have to wait to download/print lesson 4?

Day 3/Lesson 3 - I watched the video this morning. I felt a bit intimidated....but I had an appointment and errands to do, so I could procrastinate ? But this evening it seemed less intimidating, or easier. It was not as difficult as I expected it to be. And I tried to pick the easiest leaf ?. Gaining a bit of confidence, I think.

I am glad to hear I am not the only one who 'deletes and starts over'.....sometimes several times.....

I have seen it say 'open' and 'close' and I don't know why or what it means. Maybe in an upcoming lesson?

Day 2, nothing fancy, just shapes.

Day 2 lesson- Often when I add a node and then try to move it, I end up moving the entire shape, and not the node. How do I know I have the node selected? How do I keep from moving the shape when I just want to move the node?

Day 1 shapes--

Yep....

I could not find where to change the size of the nodes in PSP 2019, and I was seeing different things than Carole was showing in the video, so I switched to PSP 2020 and I didn't bother to look for where to change the node size because I was already frustrated......I worked with vectors in the "Beginners Workshop" several years ago. It was challenging then too. Some of it I remember, but not much.

I have made a heart, and an arrow! And nodes are STILL frustrating! And remembering to switch to the Pen tool IS important! I am not posting anything today, because I am going to wait for Carole to give the Exporting directions tomorrow? I hope to have more time to be frustrated tomorrow ?

I'm here too....because 'nodes' are frustrating...hope to tame them!

How about ArchiveGrid - https://researchworks.oclc.org/archivegrid/

Did you look at archive.org ?

Day 6 - PSP2019 there is no rope tube. I used stitch, and it just looks weird. It looks like it put each letter on a new layer too. I guess there is some setting i would need to change.

I'm calling this Day 2 & 3--I used my title for Day 2, on my Day 3 page. I'm not sure if that makes me efficient or a slacker ? I don't know why, but my text became a 'floating selection'. It took me a bit of time to figure out what to change, so it was a frustrating evening! I imagine there is some reason you would want text to be a 'floating selection', but I don't know why.

Susan--my first real 35 mm camera was a Ricoh XR1, which I still have. But I don't know if I could still buy 35 mm film today. I bought my Ricoh when I graduated from high school because I could not afford a Pentax K1000, and the Ricoh was very similar and cheaper, and used the Pentax K-mount lenses. Good memory!

Julie--I have had the same thing happen with the Text tool and Materials Palette! I was beginning to think I was crazy! Oh, maybe I am crazy but at least someone else has has experienced the same issue...

Day 1 title--this was going to be a page with a photo of my garden seedlings inside just beginning to grow. But since it is Day 2 already, that page won't be happening right now, so I am posting just my text title.

I am here, I also hope I have time...

I think I have too many things on my plate this week.....or too many things on my mind. I don't seem to have time to focus on the process for this workshop. I try to watch the lesson each day and look thru all the forum posts!

On Lesson 1, the greeting card template-- Do I make each of the Stroke layers into a mask??? I'm lost.

Did I miss the announcement of who won the prizes? Congratulaions to whoever did!
