So helpful. "research==stifling" was what I needed to hear. It's fun to research sometimes and I understand creativity is the canon. Thank you, Lois! Cool.

Laura

appreciate these sessions a lot, thank you Lois! I like to learn about the technical part about art, but the mindset discoveries and life experiences are one of my things to hear as well 🙏

Thanks loish for your explaining your brushes😊 . I'm scanning an image at moment at it will only save as psd. I thought it would save as pdf for me. How do I save files for working with and as final documents. I think you have mentioned this before. So grateful for your patreon. It's brings so much learning. Julianne

Scanned in at pdf at 1200 resolution. Only saving as psb. Cant save as pdf even if I flatten the image. If I flatten the image can save as jpeg.. Do I just go with this? Thanks julianne

Loish

hey Julianne! It would probably be best to resize the image to something smaller and then save that as a PDF. but I generally stick to image formats for images, like PNG and JPG! make sure you keep your large psb file as a backup though!

Loish

i think if research sparks your creativity, that's great! i think anything that helps your creativity is a good thing :)
