I have started my aA Project 2022. It is not my first year, so I feel like an old hand. One thing I know is that I will review these pages for errors and constantly find them. So, if you see something amiss, please let me know. The steps I list here are pretty much what I do for every page but if I so something different I will adjust my description for that page.
Start – no paper my book covers are all white
Front Cover – used wood words best photos and but a blue layer above each and attached using Layer>Create Clipping Mask
Back Cover
Photo – I added four photos to the mask and attached using Layer>Create Clipping Mask
Stains and other layers – I color these layers using Edit>Fill so they match what is nearby or if foliage I color to try to resemble foliage.
