This thread is in the ARCHIVES as it is from 2022.
Did you get the email with the link to the lesson? If you registered, you should get daily emails with the links to the lessons (they have changed from 2 years ago too).
Jeannette, this is the archived section of the forum. You can post on this section, which is now active.
I do plan on going back through several of those Lab experiments and turning them into classes or tutorials. 🙂
Yes, BLENDING will tend to change the colors as it is the nature of “blending colors” between two layers. But lucky for you, there are ways to use them. I’ll add that question to the Q&A!
The store is all switched around! It really looks great!
Really? I have not worked on the store format for a couple of years now!
If you scroll down to the bottom, there is a button that says “Write a review”. You have to be logged in to see that button, otherwise, you will get only a “Read reviews”
Will we need to reregister with the new software?
I don’t think so. It is just like the Gallery (using the same platform) and it integrates with the current site login so that should be seamless. For those who are familiar with it, I will be using the same platform as Scrap Girls. Once the migration is complete, I will still need a little bit of time to configure everything for our use.
Will you be letting us know through the FB page when this will be happening? An announcement there when it goes down and comes back up would be nice so we aren’t trying to get to the site.
I don’t think the whole site will be under maintenance. If anything, it would just be the forum that will not be available for a day or two since it is installing a separate platform and not working directly on this one. But I’ll try to notify everyone, either on FB or by email.
The short tutorials were never set up to be downloadable. Being that short, the written handouts are usually detailed enough to be helpful. The Master class videos are downloadable though.
Wow, so many awesome responses. I’m no dummy but I’d be afraid I couldn’t solve enough puzzles to get out, lol.
On the website of the place we went to, in their FAQ, they do ask what happens if one does not succeed. In fact, where we played, they have cameras in all the rooms so if anything happens, we can wave to it. Also, after our expired time, someone came and met us where we were, and explained how to finish the last puzzles, which we did, and the door opened to let us out. I guess it is good to know, in case someone is a little claustrophobic!
The themes are what are available every month on the blog. You can see them all HERE, and yes, they also match all the Alphabet games too!
Anyone who has watched the Big Bang Theory comedy series, would have seen the episode where they went to an escape room.
The room we were in is a little different than the one shown on the Big Bang Theory. The host reminded us that everything in the room had a purpose, and that was the case. Nothing was just decorative. Every line on the wall, every circle on the floor, and even the writing on the ceiling was a clue. I don’t know if they are all like that, but it was definitely not as “packed” as in the BBT episode.
There is one in my small town. I just looked at their website and it has 4 different rooms, rage rooms and splatter paint ball areas.
Hum… I never saw those associated with escape rooms here. That would not be my thing either!
Carole, I posted on this subject last week. Had questions, of course. Could you check?
Do you mean in the forum or by email?
Patricia, have you tried the Rust and Rusted Background tutorials?
Corrie, I have one question from you about an annoyance with rearranging layers in the Layers palette. Can you clarify what you mean?
Rene, for your question about shadowing translucent washi tape, I have some but maybe you can send me one you have so I can illustrate the correct effect.
I posted this in the beta group. Maybe someone else could have experienced something similar and hopefully, would have a solution.
PaintShop Pro Maniacs is not particularly my group. I was asked to admin for Bob Taylor (he is the owner, and another PaintShop Professional). I took over the weekly challenges a few years ago, and it is fun. But it is not directly related to the Campus, other than I have the “permission” to promote the Campus activities as they are all PSP related.
Cindy, those are picture tubes from the store, here.
I guess it is an idea to illustrate and demonstrate scripts (or other products in the store) in those Q&A too. How to run them, or how to use them too.
The top layer should be unmerged from the others so you should be able to tweak it separately if you want.
I will contact the module’s developer to mention that. Maybe it can be tweaked to avoid that issue.
The only difference is the price. In fact, you get an UPGRADE PRICE, because it is a full version either way. So, make sure you choose the UPGRADE price!
Wow!!! I am sorry I didn’t see this thread earlier. Yes, I was away for the weekend and most things were on auto-pilot (like the newsletter). I guess I am kind of late answering you but I am glad others were able to jump in. Let’s see if I can still answer some questions:
Double-purchases in the store: typically, the system will let you know if you already purchased something EXCEPT if you put the product directly into your cart from your wishlist. But as it has happened before, I would gladly refund that double purchase if it happens.
Yearly plan for DIAMOND membership: I didn’t set up anything of the sort, as the yearly plan is already $50 off the monthly plan. And if you want to upgrade, just go to the MyAccount page (the link on the top of any page), and you will have a button “Change my plan“. From there, you will be directed to the checkout where you will be able to choose the plan and the payment method.
Issues with 2023: As you might have heard, a patch was applied to PSP2023 to fix some bugs but in the process, causes major issues with running scripts (mostly mine as they include more advanced coding than many others), and also with the Expand/Contract commands. Now, those “extra bugs” are fixed. So if you installed PSP2023 in the last couple of days or so, it should show version 25.1.0.32. That is the corrected version. If you still have 25.1.0.28, then you need to uninstall your program and reinstall it. This will pull the correct file from the server and install it. The only exception is those who got a “hotfix”: it will fix the problem but not change the version number. Only a handful of users got that hotfix. You know who you are.
Jnet (#87115), was the ribbon irregular to start with or did you curve it yourself?
Michele (#87121), as a DIAMOND member, it will still be available in the Workshops section for you.
Ann (#87126), once in a while, some anti-virus or browsers throw such a warning. You all know that the Campus is safe, right?
Kasany (#87130), kind of a monochrome card. Unusual and unique.
Sue (#87137), I agree that adding a hint of grey and a texture makes a background more interesting.
Donna (#87139), you will be able to send this card to your guests if you ever have a get-together next year. Congratulations!
Ann (#87141), you are most welcome. That card really made me smile.
Anne (#87148), that gold lace is lovely!
Lynda (#87152), two cards in one. You will have a nice collection to pick from!
Corrie (#87157), although the envelope tutorial was for making a tangible paper envelope, it can also be used digitally too, like you did. Great idea to show that option.
Marie-Claire (#87155), this is a cute hummingbird that you found. I’ll have to check for more templates on that site too.
Lesley (#87168), for a quick answer, I often use “Lock transparency” if I need to color a shape and need the edges to be as smooth as they are initially. Using the Magic Wand to make the selection will give a pixellated edge (pretty ugly). As a new DIAMOND member, you might want to add that question for our next Q&A session, and I can give a demonstration. Check the DIAMOND only section of the forum.
Shirley (#87171), that is a lovely card. Take it easy and take care of yourself. We are all thinking of you.
Anita (#87172), that is such a fun montage. Today, at the mall, there was a little area with artwork and four paintings were cats and dogs in human attire. Your card made me think of those!
This workshop was a definite success! We had 47 active posters and a total of 171 different cards created and shared in this thread (maybe some worked on their cards and didn’t post them) for 19 occasions! This thread will stay open so if you are just catching up, you can still post your projects.
If you have not yet filled the survey, please do so on this link.
