Cassel Posted July 28, 2019 Author Posted July 28, 2019 Linda, this behavior is a sort of an "annoyance" (not really a bug, even if it can be bugging us). It happens because your text is inside a selection and when you resize a canvas, a selection would not resize along with it if you had it, so this text is kind of behaving the same way as it is stuck at the location of the initial selection which is kept in the memory of the image. Converting to a raster will do the trick, but make sure you keep a vector copy at full size anyways, just in case you need to come back to it for any change in the future.
Cassel Posted July 28, 2019 Author Posted July 28, 2019 Wanda, as it is an "exercise", the idea is mostly to use the different techniques. If you use them while you re-arrange the elements on your page, it is ok. As long as you practice the same thing, everything is fine. On the other hand, if you want to CHALLENGE yourself to do something that is different or uncomfortable for you, it is fine too! There are many ways to learn.
Cassel Posted July 28, 2019 Author Posted July 28, 2019 Edie, aren't you smiling when you can do as much scrapbooking as you want without the need for a whole room in the house to store supplies and work!? :)
Cassel Posted July 28, 2019 Author Posted July 28, 2019 Jerri, you are catching up nicely! On your America layout, if you want to keep realism intact, you might want to consider placing the curly ribbon on top of the photo instead of underneath. Rhonda, the disappearing text is something known (and annoying) and happens only when you use the Text wrapping. In order to avoid it, you can either duplicate the text layer and convert it to a raster before resizing OR you can make a duplicate of your image, flatten it and then resize (leaving the original intact). As for the shadows, don't worry; it seems to be a learning curve for everyone so you are in good company. And as far as making basic pages, that is totally fine. Simple layouts can be just as effective as complicated one and it is easier to apply new skills to something simple than getting lost in a ton of stuff on a page. Linda J, of course, we always learn by mistake. At least we remember more once we make a mistake once (or more than once!). Did you end up getting the video to play all the way through? Susan, I don't find your outdoor layout "too busy". In fact, I find it suits perfectly the outdoors as there will be lots of things outside, trees, paths, rivers, etc. Linda, when creating a layout, choosing photos is usually taking half the time of the whole project!
Edie Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Wanda, I'm with you using others templates and stuff don't work for me either unless it is a crash job for someone else. LOL
Edie Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Yep! That is also why I now paint digitally it take up less space and no mess!
Wanda (Sue) McGuire Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Yes I do like to challenge myself. That is why I keep doing these projects over and over. I believe this might be my 3rd bootcamp. Not sure though. May be 2nd
Cristina Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Here is my Day 7. I used the same kit "Seaside Holiday" by Kim Broedelet. Font: Black Butter. I really enjoyed participating in the challenge. It is always an opportunity to learn and practice the tutorials. Thanks, Carole!
patti parrish Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 I am way behind! My son called 2 am Friday morning saying they were coming to visit. Was not prepared for the surprise! Anyway, here is my second project! patti
patti parrish Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Here is project 3. It is so much easier putting a page together when someone (Carole) is guiding you!
Jerri Conrad Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 This challenge took me a while. It was fun to do though.
Jerri Conrad Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Thanks you Edie. I am not sure I am posting in the correct area.
Cassel Posted July 29, 2019 Author Posted July 29, 2019 Linda, in your layout Namesakes, have a peek at the leaves on the bottom left. Notice the edges of the leaves: the dark edges are facing up while the light edges are facing down. This is inconsistent with the shadows you added everywhere else on your layout. That particular element would probably need to be flipped upside down, if you can find a way to incorporate it in the existing arrangement. Edie, you have very nice flowers! Cristina, do I see that the shadow on the starfish is a bit large than the one on the frame? That is a great little detail to think of. Patti, you really caught up very well with those three layouts. Jerri, it looks like you might have squished someone on your photos. You have to be very careful when resizing an image to NEVER resize up/down or left/right, but always with a corner handle while the Pick tool is set to Scale. If needed, you have to crop the photo but never try to fit it in. And yes, you are posting in the right place.
Linda J Walker Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Wow, wow, wow! So much to learn in this lesson too!!! Lots of tricks! I got busy with life yesterday and today too. I wanted to use monochromatic papers so the photo would star. But I need to practice more. Not sure I am completely happy with this one, but here it is.
Cristina Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Carole, yes, the starfish shadow is larger than the frame one. Everything I know about shadows I've learned from you in the last few years, and I still have a lot more to learn. I added shadow presets to the PSP based on your tutorials, like paper shadow, reverse, flower, button, and so on.
Linda1672511067 Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Thanks for your feedback on my Namesakes page, Carole. I see what you mean. I'm challenging myself to make my own element for this page.
Jnet Allard Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Bonjour Carole, J'aimerais changer la configuration de ma palette Styles et textures comme ce que j'avais dans les anciennes versions psp, j'aime changer les couleurs et je n'y arrive pas avec pspX8 Il me semble que tu m'as déjà dit comment faire mais je ne sais plus... Merci de ton aide
