Text Workshop 2024

@Anne Lamp That cruise layout is very festive with all those fireworks!

@Anita Wyatt Do the shadows look the same color in the full-size version? I wonder if it has something to do with the resizing?

@Leslie Pugs Great photo with that double rainbow.

@Ann Seeber The rope tube is the perfect element to outline the word.

@Daniel Hess where did you get that cute image? It really made me smile!

@Jacques That is a great cake! Definitely worth showing it off.

@Dan Greenwood A rope is a perfect tube for a nautical theme.

@fiona cook I had a little tutorial on ways to select text to edit it. You can read it here: https://scrapbookcampus.com/2020/05/selecting-text-to-edit/

@gwen jewitt I am glad to see you integrate different tutorials. With practice, it becomes easier.

@Donna Sillia That is very colorful. Those irregular letters fit perfectly with that park theme!

@Cindy Sheets It is cool to see your work and I hope you will share your projects when you use them for your cards. For the link, just change the lesson number on any one you have and you can access the other lessons.

@Teri Cleaveland Looking forward to your projects with the script. You will catch up, I am sure.

@Jannette Nieuwboer Lovely photo, and great work on the wavy text.

@Susan Ewart Those faded letters fit well with the theme and the photo.

@Carolyn Rye Great layouts and great photos too! You are doing great!

Day 6.  I think I have actually caught up.  Love this photo of our son and his partner.  They found this beautiful puppy abandoned in the local dump.  Of course, she came home with them and has grown into an amazing, much-loved dog.  This is how Matthew now has 2 favorite girls in his life.

Are you using 2023? Occasionally, it would do something odd like merging layers and such. It is not often, but since you have also lost the icons, it looks like PSP went wonky. You might have to reset your workspace. You have saved a custom workspace, haven't you?

I found the layer that was causing the problem.  I brought a paper onto of the grey paper holding layer.  Used the magic wand, selecting outside, then went to the new paper I brought into the layers palette and hit delete.  It shows in the layers palette it deleted.  I made a duplicate, hid the new paper and made a texture on the duplicate.  But when I stretch the canvas I can see the pick nodes way far out as if it didnt delete it at all.  And I had deleted the grey holding layer (this is the bigger of the square shapes- darker pink).  I brought that layer back in and just shadowed that one so it normal looking now.  I still couldnt delete the part of that layer even though it shows in the layers palette and on my layout that it did cut the rest of it off.

where did you get that cute image?

The image with the older couple and the one of the deer with heart shaped antlers both showed up on my feed in facebook from different friends.  I had put them into my "Workshops" folder because wanted to use them in something (there are ALOT of images in there).  Using layers I combined them, then dropped it into the mask for this project.  These copies are reduced to less than 600 pixels and saved as jpgs.

@CasselIs it possible to change the color of the rope in the "Picture Tube" tool. I would have liked to take one on the cake.

I have done this.  I looked at all the settings for the one I wanted to change.  Then "found" the PspTube file for the picture tube and opened it. If it's not one that you saved or purchased and added to the "documents/Core lPaintShop Pro (your version)/Picture Tubes folder, you might have to "find" it in C:/Program Data/Corel/Corel PaintShop Pro (your version)/Corel_10 or one of the subfolders under Corel_10.  After you open it, use the Hue Saturation Lightness tool (or your preferred color management tool) and after adjusting it to what you want, you can export it (make sure you change the name) to the "documents" tube folder as a picture tube making sure you keep the same settings.

For the day 7 project, the photo I used as background image for the text was this one.  It was a larger image and I believe I applied a Fade Correction to it before dragging it into the template.

@Daniel Hess Thanks for this information. It gave me the idea to make the modification directly on the layer containing the "rope"

@Jacques - yes, that is what I did. My rope was originally gold and too intense for my Army football layout.

I have had good results from the "Haze Removal" tool on the Adjust menu, also.

I also made my "picture tube" with the correct color

Hier is nogmaals nummer 2, die was ook niet geworden wat ik wilde. Ik heb de laag waar de tekst op staat door diepdruk textuur gemaakt , maar niet via het lagen palet. Het lukte me niet om elke letter op een andere laag te zetten. Dit kwam er dus uit. De witte rand heb ik met een script gemaakt. Daarna nog 3 px roze.

Lesson 6

this sunflower (which is bizarre looking from the front BTW) looks like it was telling me which way to go.  And it looks like it's toward the sun and warmth.  Which is what I could use right now as we had a dump of snow yesterday;  8-9 inches and more expected today.  Shoveling season has begun.

Font is Wonderbar 2.0 (Creative Fabrica)

I used a mini kit for the papers by Jessica Dunn (DigitalScrapbook) called "Reach for the Sun."  the background is a gradient yellow and I didnt add elements as I liked the clean lines of this template.

Is that a 2023 thing?  I'm not finding it on my 2022.

Since I'm always in 2023 that is a distinct possibility! For some reason, my version is less "glitchy" than others have reported.

Evidently that tool was introduced with 2023 as it is not in 2022.

Lesson 6

The Vector Tube Script is very cool.  I must remember to uncheck creating on separate raster layers.  

I used a kit by Jessica Dunn; Reach for the Sun Mini Kit (DigitalScrapbook)

Photo is mine and it looks like the sunflower if pointing me in the direction of the sun.

forgot to add the layout

Day 7  Font Geometr706 BlkCnBT with leading -0.3. Slight drop shadow and inner bevel white. Used different photos of mine of the sky from my window.

[Susan Ewart]

Here is my shadow problem solved.  It happened again today.  I'm not sure what I'm doing, but for sure, it's something I did.  That paper does extend past the edges and I was squishing it down, which I did not do with yesterdays paper, yet it still did the same thing.  when I delete, the extra the bounding box outside the image is still there, yet it deleted the paper on the canvas.  Later, I checked the box again and it was gone.  PSP is playing tricks on me.
