Another topic we visit pretty frequently here is different digital effects tips and tutorials (including those that mix physical and digital work). So I thought that they should get compiled for future reference too! You'll always be able to find the link in the sidebar under The Basics.

I'm bookmarking this page.

My son gave me a beautiful clay plaque with a Polaroid transfer of a chrysanthemum on it done by Susan Rattenbury.

I've always wondered how it was done and if I might be able to do it myself.

Yes, I saw the "If you want to try this, get the machine." warning ... LOL
