This month, we will meet a member from the UK who is fairly quiet in the Campus but definitely joins in the fun (especially the live classes).

Featured Resource – Circle to Square
In PaintShop Pro, there is no simple way to turn a circle element into a square one and vice versa. The only method available is to use the Mesh Warp, which is a very tedious process and is not the most effective. However, there is one fun plugin you can use to do just that: Circle to Square.
Scrapbooking Theme – Sky
The vast expanse of the sky holds many memories. The sunny days, the storms, the snowfall and the spring showers as well as the beautiful sunrise and the spectacular sunset – the sky is colorful but unpredictable.
A sudden rain spell may mean we are cooped up inside the house for the day. A windy day means kite flying and a sunny day would be the perfect day for the beach. Each day is a scrapbook waiting to happen.
4 Tips to use the Clone Tool in PaintShop Pro
The Clone tool has been part of Paintshop Pro for many many versions (I remember using it with version 7) and it has various uses: you can hide some parts or you can add others. Let's have a look at a few tips to use the Clone tool.
4 Ways to hide a face with PaintShop Pro
Privacy is important, and sometimes, we might want to show someone in a photo but another person happens to also be there. Cropping might be an option in certain photos, but not all the time. Maybe you want to showcase a scrapbook page in a gallery but you don't want your child's face to be visible. Whatever the reason is, there are ways to hide some faces in a photo, using PaintShop Pro.
Gold Star – Cristina
This month, you can meet an active participant in our various challenges. Although she has not been in the Campus for many years, her contribution is still much appreciated.
Featured Resource – Auto FX Software
As a PaintShop Pro user, you can often find plugins that look incredibly interesting but they are "Photoshop plugins". Don't be discouraged by the apparent abundance of plugins for other softwares since many of them can work as standalone or inside Paintshop Pro. This the case for the Auto FX Software plugins.
Theme – Backyard
There are so many things we can do in our backyard. We can have a small gathering there, parties, picnics and more. This is also where the kids play, have our own small garden or for some they have pools!
For June, we have interesting layouts where we feature our own backyard. Have a look at some of the layouts where they feature their own backyard.
What is the compression?
When you save files, in PaintShop Pro or other programs, it has a certain "size". If a file is too big, we often mention "zipping" the file to make it smaller. In the case of a JPG image, there is another type of "compression" to make your image file smaller if needed. Let's have a look at that.
How to swap heads with PaintShop Pro
Have you ever tried to take a nice family picture only to have one (or some) members in an odd position, with their eyes closed, or making a funny face? It can happen in any group photo and it is hard to avoid completely. If you have a chance to have more than one photo of the group or of the individuals, you might be in luck as PaintShop Pro can help you "swap heads".
