During Week 4 I had a catastrophic computer crash and lost my entire Hard Drive. Then the class started posting about some kind of virus in the program required for the Saturday session, so I decided not to risk it. The Week 5 lesson consisted of instructions on how to write a tutorial in Paint Shop Pro, and the Extra Credit Project was writing a tutorial extending one of the subjects covered in class. I decided, therefore, to write mine on making backgrounds using the www.flamingpear.com Tesselation Filter and put it into the Paint Shop Pro Tutorials section of this web site. I only realised whilst doing this how much I have learned over the past six months - I only started using Paint Shop Pro in December of last year! I can't thank Eagle enough for a great series of classes over the last two terms and for her willingness to include relative beginners in the class even though the criteria for the courses state you should know Paint Shop Pro for this class.

On the last Saturday of the term, we had a fun session creating animations. My first animation didn't go at all well and the dog (whom we unanimously named Wags in class!) wagged his tail very unevenly. Then I did as Teacher suggested and used the Animation Shop wizard - should have done that first time - and it worked much better. That was a fun lesson and I'm sorry term is now finished.
