Text Workshop 2024

[Jannette Nieuwboer]

Hallo Corrie, wat fijn dat je een oplossing hebt gevonden voor de bug in de '23. 👍 Ik heb nr. 3 nog niet gedaan dus pak ik de '18 maar. Om niet weer zoveel geharrewar te krijgen. Ik ben er iig mee geholpen. Ook dit vertaal/type programma is lausi om mee te werken.

Interessante selectie van lettertypen op uw bloem. Heb je het geprobeerd zonder een overzicht? Met zo'n verscheidenheid aan lettertypen maakt het toevoegen van een streek eromheen het een beetje moeilijker om te lezen (althans in de verkleinde versie).

@Cassel

Ik werk nu met nexusfont daar moet ik nog aan wennen na jarenlang gewerkt te hebben met TFT. Daarin moeten we de fonts aan vinken die we willen gebruiken in PSP. Ik heb ze in files gegroepeerd staan net als in TFT. Dus eerst zoeken in je mappen en aanvinken, het is wat omslachtiger. Met uitzondering van wat je opgeslagen hebt op je pc. Ik had de tekst tool 'bolvormig verwringen' gebruikt op het font, maar dat verdween met het verkleinen. Wat ik erg vervelend en jammer vond, het stond veel sierlijker en leesbaarder. Ik heb het ook zonder omlijning geprobeerd, maar omdat ik de kleuren uit de foto had gebruikt viel daar ook een deel van de letters in weg. Volgende keer ga ik maar een geheel andere kleur gebruiken. Ik ga nu alles verder doen in de '18. Na de tip van Corrie gelezen te hebben. Zou het een oplossing zijn om direct op 600px te gaan werken, of voor de tekst toevoegen het werkstukje verkleinen?

I need the way to blur someone's face who does not want it on the internet.

Select the face using freehand, then apply Gausian Blur to it in whatever strength is sufficient for you.

Day 4.  I did these for the October Tourist Spot challenge.  Used Text on Path, Reverse Contour, and adjustments in Leading, Kerning, and Offset to get the effects.  Also showing the project.

I have been trying to do this one for over an hour.  How do you hilte the text on the vector layer? I get to that step, and do not know what tool to use.

Thanks for any help.

Once you have the Text tool, you can either double-click directly on the text OR you can double-click on the text object inside the vector layer (you have to click the little arrow on the left to "open" it). At that point, you should see the cursor blink. Beware that when you highlight the text, sometimes, the highlight is hard to see if the background is grey.

[Leslie Pugs]

Wow, thank you!! I had no idea. Learn something new all the time.

les 3. I heb een zwarte ruit genomen als vorm om de tekst in te plaatsen.  I toke a black diamond as a shape for the text. 

[Jannette Nieuwboer]

Wat zijn er al veel inzendingen, helaas kan ik het niet bijhouden om iedereen te complimenteren. Maar denk niet dat ik jullie werkjes niet goed vind. 👍

Oh, I get it.  I guess I never read it correctly and that the question was about the portrait photos. 😬

I learned this from Carole, and there is a 2017 blog post titled "4-ways-to-hide-a-face-with-paintshop-pro/."

Since then, I have been doing this with the family and my own photos when I post here.  There are other ways of doing it, but I prefer pixelated.

Thank you Cristina, Anne and Carole. It was the pixelated blanking out of the portraits I wanted so I will have a go for a design I wish to post. Thanks again.

Here is my Lesson 3 featuring my bratty teen kitten, Brandy. 🤪 I used materials from Marisa Lerin's kit, Teenage Life. I added the cat toy and created the mat for the title. The title font is Dingo Nursery colored with metallic gradients.

Daniel I recognized this great layout from the Tourist Spot challenge and it is very nice to see it again!

Ann I like your new kitty but the wrapped text is a little bit hard to read in the color you choose on the busy background.

Thanks, Corrie. It is already black so I will change it for something bolder.

Something that I always do to make black text darker is always select bold on the text tool bar. The other thing that I do that is actually against everything everyone says about text and drop shadows is to add a very small drop shadow to my text after I rasterize it. I use the settings: 01-01-50-05. Horizontal/Vertical offset being the 01. Opacity is 50 and Blur is 05. I only use these settings for black text but I do usually use black text anyways. I want the text readable which is also why I very rarely use a patterned background for my text. I know if I can read it, anyone can!

For day 4 I used a card from the Mask Workshop - Extra 2b and a photo I took in Yosemite NP in may this year. When I took that photo I already thought X-mas card! 😃 It has text on a path and the 2 embellishments are from my stash.

I don't think I am able to finish this workshop but that isn't a problem I have done this one before. The reason is I have a photo assignment and have to make a album out of it. The lady of our swimgroup has her 85th birthday this week and we decided to give her a surprise buffet in the cafetaria part of the pool. Everybody paid € 5 and one of the members is a cook and the pool director donated all the coffee and tea and the plates/cutlery etc. Today was the big event and I had to take all the photos, so for the next couple of days I'm busy to make an album that then will be printed and presented to her. If I was making this only for me I would take the time to finish this workshop, but now there is a little bit more pressure to hurry up.

I'll have a look her what everybody is making and see you all in a while

I made the journaling bold. Here it is: Brandy, my new teen tortoiseshell rescue kitten is getting comfortable indoors, helping Mom with the laundry.

Wow!!! That is a lot of projects posted. I am so happy to see that many participants!

@Cristina Mochetti Since you added some "volume" in the title, you might want to add also shadows on the elements and papers on the page to be consistent.

 

 

Thanks Casel. I added some shadows.

Day 3 I redid the text but on the final page may revert to former.

Day 4

Swirled text around the name.

[Anne Lamp]

Day 4 Photos are mine.  I played with this one a long time figuring out what picks to use etc.  Oh well I had fun.

[Jacques]

A wonderful day with my grandsons

Day 3 - I love monarch butterflies and took a lot of photos when I visited the Butterfly house. The background is one of my own with a gradient on the other curve. The caterpillar, pupa and milkweed are from Canva. I made the arrow fasteners from an arrow dingbat font from CF. The first letter of "The" is Butterfly Monogram from CF, and the title is called MeLove also from CF. The word milkweed is from some png letters downloaded from CF and recolored. The gold circles are from my Build a kit 2. The crown is from AI, Adobe Express.
