These, and a few to follow, were already in process. When I start a new one from the beginning I will create a step by step.

Very nice. Did you take the pictures? That bridge looks a lot like the bridge at City Lake Park in Jamestown, NC. Regardless, very nice work.:thumbs_up:thumbs_up

Thank you. Yes, I took the photo's. They are at a small lake in the Harbison area of Columbia, SC.

I did print them from my computer on an inkjet printer onto gloss photo paper. I didn't apply any top coat so there was nothing to cause the colors to smear. I did, however, spray some with a top clear coat spray last week. I sprayed them several times (a hint from another site - but I don't agree). One coat may be okay.

I had been printing the photo's onto card stock paper. I thoiught I'd read that this was preferred by puzzle makers, but it didn't make much sense. What I need to decide now is whether to use a matte finish paper or a gloss. I always hate fighting glare on puzzles pieces.

I just finished a puzzle that's roughly 8 x 10. I had glued it up beforehand, so it's on card stock. It's kind of a shame because it was a really pretty picture, but pretty boring on the card stock. the puzzle has 176 pieces, so I don't want to risk making it stick together, but may try to some type of finish.

I can write a step by step, but don't have one already in progress.

I added a step-by-step thread to the "How To" forum. There are no pictures, and I wrote it from memory rather than from starting a new puzzle.
