Something New

I have spent most of this past weekend working on SBC3. It is such a powerful yet easy to use software tool. There are so many creative effects available within the software and yet people always seem the find new ways to combine these and produce something completely different.

One of the best ways to find out about these new techniques is to mix with other users and enthusiasts to share ideas. There is alway somthing new to learn. No one is an expert some have just been using the software for longer than the rest of us.

Just this weekend I was revising a set of instructions for a particular technique when I found that I could actually reduce the steps by taking advantage of other features already built in to SBS3. I had seen the effect produced by someone else and worked out what I thought was a logical way to produce the same effect. After using my method to produce a number of pages, posters and calendars I found I could simplify things considerably by checking one box in the software options. Sometimes it pays to read the instructions and sometimes it's best to experiment. Do both and who knows what you can discover.
