    Thank you all for your good advice and just your support. I'm happy to report that I have figured out a few basic things by now. I just sort of freaked when I started on it and it was SO different! I just needed to hear "you can do it's" and I got that from all of you!!! Thank you so much!! I love this place!! :heartslub:heartslub:heartslub

I went through alot of things for PS CC there as well. :) Don't get frustrated.. it will be ok @Cherylndesigns

    Well at least you're not trying to figure this out while doing MOC challenges! Can you imagine the stress of that? I'm confident you will be a pro in a few days time. :agree

    WOW, interesting thread! And Cheryl, I know you will DO this!! But now I have a question. I have been a PSE user from way back when! Never gave anything else a thought. Can someone explain the difference between all these CC, PS, etc etc. I see so many different names! Why would one leave PSE for another one of these programs? Convince me!!!!!! :-)

    Hey Cheryl! @Cherylndesigns

    My video for how to use a template shows you how to clip. I'm in PSE 2018 for the video, but the same method works for PSCC. @michelepixels mentioned that there are a few different ways to do clipping . . . just find the one that works best for you.



    Someone else already mentioned changing your keyboard shortcut. That's what I've done so that CTRL+G is no longer creating a group as it's assigned in PSCC but is the clipping shortcut as I was used to that with PSE prior to 2018.

    PSCS and PSCC is also known as Photoshop Creative Suite or Photoshop Creative Cloud. The Creative Suite was a product you could purchase for a one time fee. Creative Cloud is a subscription service, where you can pay monthly/annually.

    I have moved to PSCC for design purposes but also for scrapbooking as I love to have custom shadows and do manipulations to them. The same thing is possible in PSE, but it takes a few more steps.

    I honestly can't convince you to move from PSE to PSCC. I started out with PSE 5 and went up to PSE 11 and just got PSE 2018 in the last 6 months. It's a powerful program and in some ways, much easier to use.

    Thanks so much, Cheryl @gonewiththewind - I have been watching videos and have watched a couple of yours. I did figure out how to clip and it was entirely different from anything else I had watched.
    Thanks so much, Christa! I will go back through my PM's because I know we've had conversations about me making the big move. I finally did it and I'm figuring out a few basics. It's just so different and there's a pretty big learning curve, as I knew there would be. Thanks for your support! The biggest problem I'm having is there's no "workspace" like on PSE. At least it there is, I haven't figured out where it is. That bugs me a lot. I can't figure out how to bring multiple files (like pics and elements) in. Oh well, I'll figure that out, too. :crazy3

    Thanks, Nancy! Yes, I will figure this out - even if I spend hours and hours on it. Like I said, I'm committed to pay for it for a year, so I WILL do this!! :imok:throwpc

    Thanks so much, Cheryl! Anne-Marie @A-M mentioned you on the first response I got. I know that your videos are a wealth of knowledge and information and I've already watched a couple of them.

    @Cherylndesigns - I'm so glad you asked this question!!! I switched back in December from PSE to PSCC . I tried a couple of basic tutorials before MOC started but really haven't got very far yet and went back to PSE for the month of January. I'm right there with you wanting to have everything working the way I like immediately - I have no patience!
    I will definitely be checking out Cheryl's tutorials too!

    I am just curious what all of you do WITHOUT the workspace in PSCC. I feel so lost without it.

    I always just do file >place embedded which opens up my files and I grab paper and elements that way one at a time. No need to have a bunch of things open and cluttering workspace :)

    I'm not sure I can live without a workspace, Jan!! We'll keep you posted as I stumble along. I've figured out the "place thing" that Christa mentioned further down, but no workspace?????:faint2
