          I started work on this when the local Music Festival had been cancelled and the farm organising it still built 2 ‘Bears’ out of straw bails. 9but painted tears on the faces). They usually build a full band of Bale Bears each about 16foot high that can be seen when driving past.

          I used some of the picture tubes supplied with PSP , Barbecue, Instruments, Musical Notes & Musicalshaft. An overlay from Corel Video Studio and a Callout from preset Shapes added the news flash and comment.

          I have tried to make a Gradient changebfrom the Grass to the Paper with the musical shaft but am not happy with the result, and have now spotted a spelling mistake after converting the text to a raster.

                        I have again tried the downloads and all worked for me.

                        5 & 6 showed a directory of the files in the zip and I had to click the download icon in the top right corner to download the zipped files.

                        I amusing Firefox brouser on windows 10 (but not the latest upgrade as this stops  the touch pad working on my computer)

                        Tried on another computer with the latest version of windows 10  ver 20H2  and for 5 + 6 I geta message “Coudn’t preview file There was a problem with the network. Retrying”

                        Using the download button displayed below this message  does download the zip

                                  ANN Sorry to hear you are having problems printing your calendar. The pages you show on the Forum do not look dark so this points to the problem being when the page is sent to the printer.

                                  Can you print a test page of colours ? You may find one on the Epson web site or on the CD supplied with the printer.

                                  You say that the bottom of the page is missing which again points to a printer set-up problem.

                                  Are you using the printer drivers supplied with the printer on a CD or just a general windows printer driver. (The windows general printer driver will print documents ok but not photos).

                                  I have just received a new Canon printer to replace a worn out Laser printer so have to install all the new drivers for that today !

                                        I have registered for this challenge.  I have spent some time looking through my photos to find a selection to use for each month on a calendar. I will now look for some thicker paper to use in my printer as my normal 80grm paper is so floppy.

                                                      I am still decluttering and foundmy 8 copies of ‘Paint Shop Pro Photo’ magazine. This was published in 2008 by Imagine Publishing. From issue 9 the mag was going to be called ‘Paint Shop Pro Creative’ but never appeared. A companion magazine  ‘Corel Painter Offical Magazine’ ran for about 30 issues.

                                                      I am now thinking were there any other magazine dedicated to Corel Software ?
