   Hi Karen, great to see you here too. I have learned a lot from your tutorials (I am still new to using PSE 10). I started doing party labels (like the ones from your Aug. 2011 tutorial), can you advise on how to add a dotted and dashed circles to those labels?

     Hi Antonia,

     To add dotted circles, draw a circle to use as a drawing aid and fill it with a light color. Then, create a new layer above the circle layer. Using a dotted brush with crosshair in the brush tip, carefully place the crosshair from the brush tip along an edge of the circle, then slowly draw the dotted line with the crosshair following the edge of the circle. After you’ve drawn the dotted circle, you can hide or delete the layer containing the filled circle.

     Dashed circles are a challenge! I’ll think about that and get back to you.

   I was thrilled to see you here. Your tutorials are always so clear and well done. Your Alibony site is always one of my “go to” choices for information.

   Keep up the good work!

   I have been using Adobe Elements for the last five years and thought I had things figured out. After the first 40 minutes of using your website, well lets just say it’s back to school for me.

   thank you

   THANK YOU for the reminder about “square brushes” … 2 weeks ago, I was trying to draw a straight line with squared off ends. The best I could come up with was a line drawn with a pencil (rounded ends), to which I “cloned” the ends flat … now I know to grab a “square brush.”

    Hi Karen,

    Great tut! I never think of doing the lines like that. I especially appreciated learning how to make the scalloped edge frame. Now……to find the right photo for it. :)

    Hi Karen,

    Really good lesson. I liked the way you built up the complexity as you went along. It is always nice when someone ‘dives’ into the settings and shows you how they can be used.

    Any suggestions on how to play these videos on windows 8? I can’t seem to download quicktime or play these tutorials on any player.
