    The Art Project Thread (I'm Terribly Sorry For All The General Chat Spam!)

    Man, I REALLY have been spamming General Chat! My deepest apologies for that. I'm going to keep all artwork in one thread, so as not to clog General Chat with my silly threads. It's why I've hesitated posting more artwork. It's not fair to the other members. The latest Affinity Photo project...

    It's 4:35 AM. The masking missed some areas, so I spent almost 2 hours going in and cleaning up as best I could. Not easy, but art is not supposed to be easy.

    Practicing With Affinity Photo On My M3 MacBook Pro...

    When I bought my M3, I was dead set against getting a subscription with Adobe Photoshop. So, I got a copy of Affinity Photo. It's still early days, and I'm in more or less parroting mode.

    Playing Around With Affinity Photo As A Newbie

    One thing about Affinity Photo...the lay-out of the tools is very different than in Photoshop, so that will take some getting used to. It's early days for me, obviously. The image was already blurred to begin with; I was trying to use some brushes as well as the brightness/contrast tool. And...

    VCF East Swap Meet-Photos

    I got there early, and it's a good thing I did. It was FAR too hot and humid, I'm getting up there in years and this type of weather doesn't do me any good. I picked up this nice Sangean radio for $20. It seems I pick up radios more than anything else at VCF; the last one I got was a weather...
