Venecia

Phyllis, you have given me a new way to go per opacity, etc. and thank you!

Bubble, you have outdone yourself with remember and Venecia!

Phyllis, borekas can be filled with anything you want.  My favorite is the mixture of eggplants, fried onions and tomatoes.  Aviv prefers the salted grated cheese mixed with mashed potatoes and lots of black pepper.  Beni used to be partial to the spinach.cheese ones.  We all have  our preferences.

I also do opacity etc like you do!  and type the # next to the slider: easier that way!

Now everyone tells me!

Dinette

Ekaterina

I liked Dinette, Bubble.  It looks like all of the effects were in the framing?

This was a fun tutorial that I sent in to my mod and the group this morning.  I like working with Alpha selections.  I have #42 and #43 ready to go and I'll send them in tomorrow.  So far, fingers crossed, my filters are showing and doing what they are supposed to do.  I hope it stays that way.  I still need to work on reading the tuts more carefully.

Time is Ticking Away

I haven't heard anything from BJ since she approved six of my lessons on the thirteenth, is this usual for her? Since I turned in number fifty, I cannot advance further.

On a couple of occasions I have re-sent lessons when she didn't respond to the first send for several days.  I think that you should re-send yours.  She has said that she doesn't respond on weekends but since you sent them in on the 13th I would just give her a gentle reminder.

EDIT:  According to the Group message board, Angel, you sent the last two lessons in on the 17th.  Maybe BJ just hasn't picked them up yet since the weekend.  You might hear later today.....I hope.

I have not heard from her since she posted approving six lessons on the 13th, hopefully, she will post today. Karen was so prompt that this is unusual for me. I have four lessons I'm waiting to hear about this time.

Calico

Angel,  did you see the email to the group from BJ about her granddaughter?  It explains everything.

I did, she emailed me approval for the last four lessons and sent me the link to the next 25 so I'm set, thank you.

Phyllis, I saw your lessons go through and thought you are doing fantastic!  I wish I had your creativity!

Bubble, your work, as always, is amazing! I'm still going back over and over to Venecia and Dinette. Remember and Calico are great as well, but I'm leaning towards Calico.

Calico was a nightmare to do, I had to retry about five times to get it right!

Some are hard, some are easy, some are fun, some are challenging with new things to learn.  I think it is never boring.

DINA

Vibrant Frame

Dina and Vibrant Frame are both very creative and both look to be a lot of  really hard work!

I've been away from S(F  off and on for the last 2½ weeks, So all i can say is WOW!!! on all the great images I will try my best to get here more often. Here are a couple of mine that got finished.

Michelle

Mobilized

wow Marilyn, you did not lose your touch!

Thank you Bubble

Marilyn, if I am reading this right, that these are not tuts but your creations, that is so cool, and I agree with Bubble!

Bubble, as always, Michelle and Mobilized are very well done!I wanted to say Mobilized was my favorite, but then I would look at Michelle and say "Drat!" I couldn't choose between them!

Phyllis, I have watched your lessons go through and thought they were wonderful! When you finish #51, let me know how it was for you.

I spent three days with this lesson, and my pen tool kept freezing my PSP12U. BJ told me to be sure my show nodes was checked, and it was. I finally, after removing and re installing three times and trying everything on then off in the pen mode,  was able to finish it. I certainly tried, spent a total of 24  hours in those three days of attempts and even checked out my PSP X3, X5, X7 and X8 but couldn't discover how to use them in graphics. So here covered in seeming blood, sweat, and tears is lesson #51!

Lessons 52 and finishing with #53 which I enjoyed.

Your last one is mesmerizing Angel.  I keep going back to have another look. And I love the mix of colors.
Another trick for you:  sometimes you have to add borders of 1 or 2 pixels and asked to color them with your paint bucket.  It is very hard to hit  the   selected area.  I use the paint brush instead and go all around the narrow frame.  It works wonderfully well.

Good tip about the paint brush for borders, Bubble.  I'll have to try that out.

Angel, I hope I don't have the trouble that you had with Lesson 51.  I really don't do well with the pen tool.  I probably won't get to it until after the Lesson group comes back from summer break and that will be the middle of August. I'm trying to get all of the lessons in Level 2 (25-50) done so I can ask for the next level to work on during the break but I'll have to hurry since their break starts on July 1, at midnight GMT.

Marilyn, I am always admiring of anyone that can design and write tutorials.  You do nice work.

I'm missing Gloria.  Hope she can get her computer problems solved soon.
