Robyn! You should feel right at home here because we use the same software as BW for our forums. I started the original BW back around the turn of the century. Back then, it was a PhotoImpact workshop. After that program was discontinued, we changed this board to PSP and Leenie started the PSP BW. Most of us here weren't happy with PSP so after a few more changes, we settled for a brand new program on the market called Affinity Designer. We all LOVE it! Maybe one day we'll create an Affinity workshop! Never can tell!
Anyway, jump in and do whatever projects look interesting to you. I would suggest that you start learning with the Do Over Workshop forum. These are the projects that most of us have done before, but are re-doing as a refresher. It's a great place to start learning. Of course, you're welcome to go to any other forums and give things a try.
New projects are posted on the 1st and 15th of the month in all of the forums that have projects so there's a lot to do. Best thing is to just enjoy!!
