Hi! I'm Corrie, aka corriespondent around the intranets! I'm currently an accidental #SharePoint developer with a background as a math major and career in graphic design, web design/ui/ux, and frontend web development. I'm also a mom of 3 boys, an avid reader, a sometimes-backpacker, a recovering over-poster on Instagram, and do periodic artistic things in #procreate or in real life. Oh, and I'm a published author, too (feels like a lifetime ago). #Introduction

The middle boy asked for another #photoshop lesson. He took our Christmas Eve #hike photo, took a photo of our #AustralianShepherd, and used his newfound masking skills to put her into the photo. I then showed him how to use adjustment layers, clipped to the dog layer, to tweak the levels and color. The first slide is the final photo and the rest show the process.

My 12-year-old wanted to learn #photoshop. I dug out my “author of The Photoshop Anthlogy” credentials and taught him a very important skill: How to Photoshop his big brother’s head onto the neck of an emu. (Move tool, transform, make smart object, mask, opacity, brush tool, content aware fill, duplicate layer, layer opacity, and vector vs raster images were some of the key concepts in this initial lesson.)

Photos on tonight’s walk - first one taken with normal phone camera, second one taken through Instagram’s stories.

Today’s #procreate brush experiment - new-to-me brushes included Dove Lake, Sable, and Rainforest #MastoArt #art #DigitalArt

@kbradnam would love your expert take on this

Middle boy last night: “what do Bri’ish people call chocolate chip cookies?”
Husband: “you don’t have to say the word ‘British’ in a British accent.”
Middle boy: “I can’t help it! Anyway, what do they call them? Cocoa crisp biscuits?”
Everyone:
Me: I… see what you’re getting at.

My husband works as a preschool teacher and comes home with the best stories that I turn into comics. The latest: B is for Best preschool moment on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/p/CnVduBSPVBU/?igshid=MWI4MTIyMDE=

Apologies to my neighbors in our 5 mile radius as I was shouting at my iPhone while on Facetime with my slightly deaf mother trying to help her get out of recovery mode on her Mac.

@sympmarc Found that RelatedHubSites:{Hub.Id} works now!

@sympmarc Happy Monday! I'm trying to limit search v4 scope to a hub site (and eventually try a hub-of-hubs site) and saw a github post from you related to hubs/search v4 from 2021 (https://github.com/microsoft-search/pnp-modern-search/issues/759). Have there been any blog posts or clearer docs since then that you know of?

It’s been a while since I’ve done some #procreate #art just for fun — ostensibly this is to start getting familiar with more brushes that I haven’t gotten around to trying (Larapuna and Aurora).

I grew up only listening to classical music and watched live operas in fourth and fifth grade at the Chicago Met Opera (my parents had matinee season tickets). The Magic Flute was one of my favorites because of the humor and because it had a happy ending, so here’s a scene from it.

The cat loves sitting on my husband’s chest. Quality book cover to stare at, as well. #CatsOfMastodon
