Hi everyone -- still alive?


 

You are all extremely quiet. Are you all beavering away from home offices? We're retired people and we know how boring that can be - so can't imagine how it must be for people who are used to the cameraderie of the office water fountain.
I sat in front of my computer for what was supposed to be an instructive online chat about Zoom two days ago - only to discover some faceless bloke was just showing slides and they had turned off mike and vision for 150 people who attended the online event.?
Yes we know you ?need decent internet connection but if they'd said was slides only I wouldn't have bothered frankly. So there was an hour of my time I'll never get back :-)

Yesterday I edited a photo in Afffinity photo and when I did save to desktop it saved it as a .afphoto file !@#$^&!! Whats that when its at home I said to myself. Discovered one has to go to the "Export" function to get a .tiff.jpeg, etc.
So I can understand why someone might say ?of it "its not Photoshop" when even that is not very intuitive. I obviously need to spend more time learning the program ?:-)?

The iPad is serving a purpose to give mdy brain something to do while we are all still minding our Ps and Qs in Covid restrictions down here... but really .... it is just an expensive toy :-) ?I tried laying out something in Pages on the iPad Pro and found it so frustrating I got out of bed and wandered round to my Mac and airdropped it and got on with it. Total given up on the idea of doing anything serious with Pages on the iPad now. ?I'm not saying I regret the purchase, but in a way its just confirmed my all time opinion of it. ?First world problems :-)?
