CBAPCC

Well, to cut a long story short, when time came to start everything up again, my screen couldn't find my computer anymore, and I ended up not able to do anything. I have lost my archives (although there may be ways to retrieve those; we'll see), but more importantly: I had lost my Photoshop 6.0, on which I had been working for the last fifteen years or so. At first I still thought, oh well, I'll just switch back to black and white pen drawings for a while, before I realized I would not be able to scan them in.
I was devestated. After buying a new computer (and being forced to switch to Windows 10), I started to re-install as much as I could, and thankfully, both my tablet and A3 scanner were brought back to life fairly easy. But not my Photoshop program. So, after wrestling with alternatives like GIMP and Corel Draw for a few days, I found out that you can actually subscribe to Photoshop.
In a desperate move, not knowing what to expect, I signed up, and yes, I got to get into a relatively recognizable workspace: Photoshop CC 2017. But then the problems began anew: in fifteen to twenty years, a lot had stayed the same, but also, a lot had changed. Where's the magic wand? Two hours later: Oh, there it is. But why doesn't it work? Next day, yes it finally works, but only for a brief period: after that it just selects the whole drawing, what is going on?!!
In short, I spent the last three days trying to learn myself a new, alien version of Photoshop, and although I'm not completely out of the woods yet, I'm happy be able to at least present some new pieces for you.
Thank you so much for your patience (really, not one single unsubscriber!), and I will try to make it up to you in the near future!
