      Loving the imagination and ingenuity of the pages posted here…. I look and think what a great idea how effective and how come I don’t think of something like that!!

      My background is the same image as in my photo using the simple 4way average filter.  The panel is taken from the photo and the frame is from a tutorial I liked.  The autumn leaves are supposed to represent the passing of time.

      The photo was taken by me in Gwalia, West Australia.

        Afternoon snack – no pickles for me! and the handle of the cup turned to the right (as drilled into me by my mother!) with teaspoon and lace cloth.  I did have a small vase of flowers but decided to remove them.

          Hi everyone,  I have been using Paintshop for many years starting back in the early Jasc days but while I have blended/merged/masked photos and made collages etc I have little to no experience of Scrap booking apart from following a scrap tutorial from time to time, which I am sure is nothing like what this Bootcamp will be like.  I recently completed the Wise Words Challenge and enjoyed learning various ways to enhance text.  There is always something new to learn and with many folders of photos sitting idle on my pc I am looking forward to working with them and turning them into something meaningful.

          Only one thing I have changed on my workspace is going back to the classic materials pallet thanks to Carole for that info.

          I also used the snipping tool and found it useful ..but now I use Snip and Sketch which I think may be replacing the snipping tool – I can’t remember if I had to download it or if it is included in Win10.  (Press Win logo+Shift+S) if it is by default there that will open it.

          I hope to work on images from a visit to a small outback town in Australia called Gwalia… a young Herbert Hoover was the general manager of the mine there in the late 1800’s.  It is  now called a living ghost town and there are old houses you can wander through.  The pics below are of Hoover house in early days (internet pic) and one I took a couple of years ago.

            Wise words Day 7 – Shells

            For some reason this took ages to work for me I kept ending up with the colour of my text cut out and not the picture BUT eventually it worked and although I thought I did the same thing every time following the tutorial something must have changed.   I will need to practice this.  Previously I have used the cutter button but this way gives more options to adjust the text.

            Thanks Carole for the Wise Word Challenge .. it is always fun to learn new ways of doing things in paintshop and your tutorials are most informative.  I have loved seeing all the work posted and amazed at the talent and imagination shown in the creations.   So my thanks also to everyone who participated and made it enjoyable.   The photos I used for the challenges are all taken by me.

              Rope text day 6 ..  Silo Art is amazing and we have quite a few ‘trails’ to follow the silo art, it also provides tourism for smaller towns.

                Loving all the amazing work by everyone… so much talent and very inspirational!

                Carole, I have Paintshop 2020 Ultimate but I don’t have the same (or cannot find!) the materials properties palette that you have.  I like how yours displays, have you adjusted it or am I missing something in my setup?   This is what I have.

                  Day 5 – Lightning .. this was a photo I took during a storm last year.  I did use texture but it didn’t show up very well so I ended up duplicating and converting to a raster layer and a little drop shadow. I had a plain background and changed it to a pattern hoping for a more translucent effect but it didn’t maybe my colours were too dark.   Thanks for the link on using a template  Carole … I had a little play and need to do more.

                    Thanks Vicki yes ANZAC day is a very special day and was certainly different this year but in saying that I think people really made an effort and were maybe even more aware.  I love your remembrance honouring your uncle.

                        I have not really used templates before and I struggled a bit trying to work out how it worked – I need to practice using them.

                        Sat 25th April is ANZAC day (Australian New Zealand Army Corps) which marks the anniversary of the first campaign that led to major casualties for Australian and New Zealand forces during World War One and commemorates all the conflicts that have followed since.

                              Love all the Wise words! My pc is updating so will post my effort when it decides to let me.

                              i am on my iPad atm and am unable to open the story link. Is anyone else having that problem?  The boots opened just fine.
