Does this recording help?

No, only the majority of the features of the Photo persona.  The Liquify, Develop, Tone Mapping and Export personas from Photo are not available directly within Publisher.
 
That said, the Photo persona covers a lot of ground.

Thanks

Thanks all.

Thanks, I’ll play with it.

In Refine Selection, what are the differences between Smoothing and Feathering?  Thanks.

Thanks

Thanks

I kept playing and this is what I have now.

I will use the cutout method but isn’t possible to place an opaque yellow layer on top of the windows?  No blending would occur. Thanks.
This is my first photo composition using AP. Do you have any suggestions for improvement?  Thanks.

Thanks

It worked, thanks.

I had an adjustment layer that affected the whole document.  I moved it to its proper level.

Thanks

LOL. Computers and software can be a struggle at times.  But we all keep struggling because the positives outweigh the negatives.  I hope I can help you in the future. Thanks, again.

Thanks

Thank you.

In my recent tutorial, Creating tiles using Affine, especially of Leaves, I explained how to create tileable images using dead leaves (or any other similar object). I show here a selection of such tiled images, with four such tiles grouped to produce a seamless image. 
Before the tiled images, here is an example of a real patch of leaf litter taken just by holding the camera vertically of the woodland floor:

This is an example of a composite image of leaves to recreate a leaf-litter-like tiled pattern:

The following four images are each based on a single tree species, using about twenty leaves of different colours.
Firstly English Maple Acer campestre.

Next Cherry Prunus avium.

Now a garden shrub Guelder Rose Viburnum opulus.

And finally a strange Chinese relative of the conifers, the Ginkgo, Ginkgo biloba.

I have used these to form the basis of a set of table mats.

I am reading the Help section about the Media Browser.  It says:
 
Options available in the dialog via -click menus
 
Remove—removes the selected folder from Media Browser. The folder and contents are not deleted from your computer. Reload—synchronizes with the selected folder to ensure Media Browser is displaying up-to-date content. Show in Finder—opens the selected folder or file in Finder. Open With Preview.app—opens the selected file in Preview. Quick Look—opens the selected file in Quick Look. When I ^ click in the upper section, only Reload appears. One reason I ask is because I want to Remove some folders from Media Browser.  Am I doing something wrong? 
 
Thanks

Definitely … go to the Stroke panel and select Cap > Square Cap.  :)

Welcome Mouse.  I'm pretty new here myself. So far, I find it to be a very friendly and helpful forum.

alt + click on the mask
 
you can see that only part of the mask "background" is black, the rest, surrounding it is white
make this all black as well and only let the girl be white (as is)
