Well, I can see I’m going to have to buy Palette Maker2 afterall. I thought I could get away with using my old palette maker script, but I have to admit that LO is so cohesive, I really want to try it now!
You both did great on the Lab!
I guess I’d better practice, then. I’m really bad at making bezier curves, but with text, I think the old click-click-click lasso would be just fine. A jerky curve, but I doubt it has to be super smooth for text.
Your session was good today. Thanks!
Edited to add: So my test worked! The end result wasn’t very good, but I attribute that to the poor choice of curve. I am well-pleased with the effort — who knew it would be so easy!?
So just my regular lasso will do that, too? I didn’t know that! (Well, this is my first foray with no text box — I’m still finding it hard to do without it, even though I only use the rectangle. Will a selection of rounded rectangle and circle work, too?
I just almost watched a video on YouTube about blending, but one of the comments caught my attention about using the pen tool to make a vector box for text.
“I loved the wrapped text box. I had not thought to use the pen tool to create a box and then convert to a text box and type. i can’t wait to try it.”
Does this work for PSP? (And if so, can yo add it to the docket?)
Could it have been used on the text in the first two LOs below? It would have been sooo cool if they had the exact same amount of space between the bus and the text (on the second LO)
Was it used on the last LO? Probably not – that was probably the point to point bezier curve, right?, and I could really, really use some help (like an entire hour session, LOL!) on that because the slightest movement makes it go haywaire and snaggle on another line.
I have one more question, and I know there are other people who don’t know this — likewise, there are a bunch who already do know it.
I am still unclear on vector shapes.
I want to make this arrow flat on top to be a wide ribbon — just cut it right off. I thought you showed doing something fancy with the pen tool, but I can’t get it to work without changing other parts of it, like the bottom point. If I use the knife, I get it, but nothing happens. I’m missing a step. Now it looks like a volcano, LOL!
So the question is how do I get from Image 70 to Image 68 while still keeping it a vector?
Here is a recap of my question if you need it… I want to make 2 px keylines on frames that are exactly .33″ from the photos/openings on frame like the first one with three pics (made with your multi photo frame2 script). As an alternate, I also want a 2 px keyline .33″ from the OUTSIDE edge of the frame with 9 photos. All the exact dimensions from the photo or edge, all 2 px, and all with square corners, not rounded.
If you want the originals of these, full size, I can send them to you email. Let me know.
Maybe don’t spend too much time on this — I expect other members already know how to do it….Here is Sue Thomas’es lovely October “what are you doing?” image. These aren’t keylines exactly, but they are uniformly spaced, are 2 px (or close) and have the square corners I’m after.

I’ve registered, but I’m not very good at it, never send them, and have severe troubles when it comes to print. The only cards I’ve figured out how to print are postcards….namely dues notices for the Daffodil Society, LOL! I feel triumphant because my name and address are on the backside, and facing the right direction! I also just did a postcard for daffodil show publicity for 2023, single sided.
Anything that folds is a headache for me, so I am looking forward to learning some tricks! I also have a double sided printer, so perhaps that will help me?!
Do any of you remember when cards were a single piece of paper folded into quarters, and not made from cardstock at all?
“You own PSP, now learn how to harness its power through classes and instruction.”
I 100% could have written this paragraph by Sharla, not that it’s important, just that term Scrapbooking sort of turned me off, too, even though I was sort of scrapping at the time. (It was actually scrapping genealogy books, like my grandmother’s line. The genealogy scrap kits available for sale were all DULL and BROWN. I just thought I could make better looking stuff on my own.)
“SharlaParticipant
I joined to learn more about digital scrapbooking just to do something different with PSP other than photo editing. What I’ve discovered is, that whilst scrapbooking is interesting, the real substance of the campus (for me) is learning how to use PSP. If I had known how much information was available on PSP via the great tutorials and masterclasses I would have got involved sooner. Ironically, the spotlight on scrapbooking is what put me off.”
Well, Cindy, when you get to it, try a template Maker Script on a LO you’ve done, and you can save that template to do over and over, just changing a few things. One thing you can do is rotate it, and you have a totally different looking LO.
Now I have to go to the store and look at Mask Maker, LOL!
Cassel, Isn’t there a script in your shop that takes a LO you made and turns it into a template? I would look, but I’m on my way to the doc. Seems I’ve lost my voice!

Not much better, but I think I agree with Sharla that the Paint Shop Pro is more important. Despite what I have posted above, I think the scrap is less important. Surely a large percentage of PSP users don’t do any kind of scrapbooking at all?
Hi, Carole, Sorry I missed this Q & A when it was live. I’ve been really sick and couldn’t make it Sunday. I went to the doctor last February for a yearly checkup (feeling fine and dandy) and have not been well since then!
My question with the key lines, 0:40:03 How to create key lines?
I know how to do key lines, more or less, and appreciate the extra different ways to set them off I hadn’t considered.
my question has to do with the spacing of the key line and the frame opening. I didn’t phrase it well in the original query, thinking the photos asked the question well enough. I’m making a frame (cutout for a photo) with key lines around it, precisely measured .33” away from the opening. When I try to do it within PSP, I get a rounded corner, not a sharp corner. I want the key line to be exactly .33 inches from the photo opening, no matter where I measure it – corner or straight side. Photo is located https://scrapbookcampus.com/Community/topic/qa-october-9/#post-83967
you showed me once how to do it, it was a convoluted method which I subsequently forgot, but I think it had to do with selecting the opening and then inverting the selection? And then expanding? Or contracting? Well, I’ve been working in it, but if you’re doing scripts, I think it would be a dern useful one. (it might also have been the opposite…select the key line, invert, then make the cutout for the photo.
basically there are three dimensions to worry about. The outside of the frame. The hole for the photo, and the key line, and I want all the measurements to look sharp and evenly spaced, and on all 4 sides. However, I was also given some advice here from Susan Thomas to put the text on a frame (I think she was talking a Polaroid style frame, but I liked these so well, I want to use them (as a style) instead. But I can’t just use a purchased frame. If my photo is the wrong size, bigger, wider, shorter, then resizing makes the horizontal key lines a little fatter than the vertical..let’s just say the frames have to be bespoke for the photo and amount of text I have to use.
basically I want to make the frames in the picture, but in different dimensions to fit my pics.
R= Revenant.
A person who has returned, especially supposedly from the dead.
“he was three hundred years old, a terrible living revenant”Carole, if you do anything with Q&A F11, be sure to tell people that both the color swatches you have will effect the brush settings if you have the jitter on certain things like saturation and blend, I think. If you stop midway thru, or have to fix something and go back to it, if those chips aren’t identical to what you had before, it shows up on the final product. Took me forever to figure it out because the colors were close, but not exact! I was making this paper.
Oh, thanks. I’m not sure it’s what I want to do because it’s just the square brush that comes with PSP. (I’m making the paper from this Lab https://scrapbookcampus.com/element-creation-index/square-paper/
i don’t want that jitter setting to be with the regular square brush and have it jumping around every time I use it, LOL! Will having the preset do that? No, it won’t, but I want to make sure. It will be my first preset and first time I’ve successfully used F11 and its settings!
Screaming
Ghost Screaming
Just like crying or rattling chains, yelling or screaming sounds usually come from ghosts who have endured unbearable amounts of pain or torture. They come from lost and frightened souls who continue to suffer after their death.These sounds are usually heard in the middle of the night when the person is sound asleep, which causes confusion and even doubt in the individual.
Yes, and no, 🙂 Like those lines, and placed right like those are, but not dashed – I want them solid. Very thin (narrow)
I wish I could show you exactly what I want, but I cant find any. I need to make them fit my photos and LO, not the other way around, and these premade ones are unsizeable because the keylines get larger.
Hi, Carole,
I would like to learn how to make key lines, like this. Well, not exactly like this, or else I’d just buy these, LOL!
I want a thin line like this, but solid, not dashed, and slightly depressed or debossed, as I like to say. 🙂
The thing is, you are the one who taught me how to make these and I cannot find where. It was back before 2011, I believe, and I may have recently learned the name for these is key lines. You might have called them something else? They always have SQUARE corners and are very thin (narrow).
I found another one — it is embossed, but if you didn’t know that, think of it as being key lined. 🙂
