Through One's Eyes

😃 You like it @Teej ? I think my brain is starting to think in layers, the way you need to to drive this thing .....

Thanks @Zoe7 💚🌹

Yep it’s all about the layers, pretty much most adobe products are @Faith-and-Hope. It really is awesome. Looks like you are really getting it though. I am totally amazed at how quickly you learn so much. You’re kids have got some serious completion on their hands 😘

I think I have got a lot of the brain-framework for this sort of work @Teej ... when I stop running away from it .... lol.

I sort of realised I needed to put all the bits and pieces of my understanding about computers into a proper comprehension of it, and working out how the computer works is not terribly foreign to the idea of Photoshop .... and I have used Paint for years to do really basic editing of images.

Although it's been a leap, it's sort of scrapbooking stuff I had already done, or got a feel for, into a more workable approach. To continue studying I will need to know this stuff, so trying to tackle it head-on now, before other stuff revs up too much to be able to double back to this.

I would love to see what you could create on illustrator one day @Faith-and-Hope. It’s a bit of a struggle to get your head around but so good too. I didn’t have much of an art background which I think would help enormously.

You are right. I’m glad I got to be not so afraid of computers and understood them before launching into adobe programs. I still used to freak out though because it wasn’t like anything I’d done before. It was doing my cert 3 in it when we did one subject in digital imaging and were intiduced to photoshop elements (a light version of photoshop) and I loved it. That was the beginning of me playing digitally with images.

That's what it was here too @Teej .... a digital imaging unit ..... so it was sink or swim ..... lol ... or pull out the floaties in my case. Then I decided it was time I got into the water and put the swimming thing together .... didn't have to be brilliant at it, but did need to learn to manage.

And yeah .... can see where it could be highly addictive ... in a good way 😁

@Teej

My S2 is a wiz at the Adobe stuff @Teej. He ain't half bad with a paintbrush either, but this is where they have all taken different tangents with their artwork / careers. The youngest two work really well out of their imagination. Me, not so much, but then like computing and Photoshop, I have only really dipped my toe in up until now .... and now is my time to take a plunge with anything and everything I can / have had on the back-burner for too long.

Thanks @outlander .... 🌹

And it is awesome and inspiring to see you take this all on @Faith-and-Hope. I fell off with all the drama of the psychologist stuff. My art work from respite accidentally got dropped and smashed by one of mine. I have been thinking about ringing the respite place again to see if I could do another respite break to try to start again. I doubt I could though.
