Hi Jesus,
I have PE14 and I’ve tried out several of your PS training sessions. I have been surprised and very pleased to find that a lot of them can be used in PE in part and even when they include parts that have tools not available in PE, I have managed to use the ideas in my own work.

You are a terrific teacher giving detailed steps and nice easy explanations. Thank You.
Cheers
Cynthia

Hi Jesus,

Thanks for this video! I worked through it with you in real time and it worked great. However, when I have tried to recreate it myself a second time, when I press “Play” on the action for Recycled paper I get stuck with lots of pop ups that I didn’t have the first time, asking the following:

1. New Snapshot (Full document) – I press ok
2. then New Layer, so I press ok again
3. then Fill. I leave the default and press ok..
4. And then I just get a new layer filled with a colour, but not the texture I asked for.
5. Plus yet another pop up appears asking if I want to create another New Layer. Click ok on that and..
6. A “Pointillize” pop up box. Press ok there and then – eventually – I get the recycled paper look.

Do you know why it makes me jump through so many hoops the second time, when it was so easy the first? And how can I make it stop it?!

Thanks!

Hello Jesus,
I was having success following your crayon video yet towards the end you were explaining the path option with the right click. I have a mac and nothing happened when I tried that. What are my options for that right click? I found the path selection tool icon but didn’t know what to do after that, so I don’t know how to color outline my figure. I enjoy the wording and the video as well as I tend to lose track watching the icon.
Great video and looking forward to more!
