Cassel Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 First of all, come and say HI once you register for this bootcamp. We want to know who else will be there, on our side to cheer everyone up. Everyone started as a beginner, so don't ever compare yourself to others. You will learn one tool at the time, one concept at the time and you will create one project at the time. Everyone will have different photos and possibly different supplies so every project will be different. Once the Bootcamp is started, on January 17th, 2022, you can post your projects in here. Remember to resize your images to about 600 pixels AND saving in jpg format, before uploading it so it won't slow down the site when we have lots of your masterpieces. Try to follow the tutorials at least enough that we can recognize what lesson you completed. Now, let's get ready ! If you missed the registration link or if you found this thread before I announce it (some people are very observant), HERE it is. Share it around if you want. Although this Bootcamp is mostly meant to help beginners, we won't exclude anyone for "excess experience". Some participants are back for a second round. You are always welcome. Remember that it will be the exact same tutorials so don't be surprised. I am sure you will now do something slightly different than the previous time. Since anyone can follow the whole Bootcamp using the trial version of PaintShop Pro, this is a perfect opportunity for anyone to give it a try and see how they like the program, so share with your friends who MIGHT consider using PaintShop Pro. The 7 tutorials will be spaced out over almost 2 weeks. This should make it easier for participants to follow without feeling stressed (it should never be stressful!).

Susan Ewart Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I will be here will bells on. I was browsing photos for the class and not too sure what I'm going to do subject wise. I liked the colors and simplicity in the shot, it might be a contender. My theme might be "no-theme". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I have had Paintshop Pro for quite a few years - currently have X9, 2018 and 2021 on my computer (and did have prior to X9, but cannot remember version(s) - but I have not used it a lot. I am looking forward to working with this project - learning some new things. I do find that sometimes I "learn" how to do something but then go onto the next thing. So I will want to try and retry to add these to things I can use every day. Thank you so much for providing this resource and the other things you do.

Diane Lochala Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Hello! I am excited to start this Bootcamp. I have been using PSP for several years to edit wildlife photos, but I have never expanded my knowledge or skill beyond editing. I am excited!

Linda J Walker Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Hello! I'm gonna do this again, and plan to finish all the pages this time. Often life just gets in the way! My husband had back surgery in Dec, and is not permitted to do much yet, so I have more to do now. A snowstorm is just beginning here, I will begin plowing soon. Not sure what photos I will be using My husband and I both had covid in August. My husband had a more difficult time than I did. He got monoclonial antibodies. Cindy, drink water! Take your vitamins! Rest and sleep as much as you need! Praying you will have a speedy recovery. I found this nut in the driveway...just thought it was unique!

Bonnie Ballentine Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Cindy...do take care of yourself and allow your body to heal by not trying to do too much if you don't feel like it. Great advice, Linda! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassel Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Pirkko, you will have fun in the Bootcamp and I am sure we'll have fun seeing your projects. Cindy, I hope you take care of yourself. Susan, "no-theme" is quite alright too! There is no requirement to have a theme. Liz, welcome to the Campus. Looking forward to your projects. Mary, I am sure you will showcase some great photos! R Keizer (is there a first name I can call you by?), you will see how much more you will be able to do with PSP! Diana, you will discover some great ways to showcase those photos. You will surely connect with Sue who is also taking and showcasing wildlife photos! Linda, that is an "interesting" photo. My first thought was a pig snout! (maybe I should check my glasses?) To the newcomers, you will notice that I will be in the forum every day, looking and commenting on your posts. If you have any issues or questions, don't hesitate to post them. I read every single post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Landreth Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Sorry to hear that COVID is still wreaking havoc. It's a stark reminder that we aren't done with it. Cindy, best wishes for a quick and full recovery. I wanted to join Bootcamp to rediscover things that I may have forgotten or that I missed the first time.

Liz Kershaw Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 hi I am a real newbie so sorry if this is a silly question --- what size is best for the photographs we are going to work on lease Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Seeber Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hi, I'm here for my umpteenth go-round in this class. Here's a Buddha Doodle for Cindy. Get better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Liz, that is a good question and I THOUGHT it was mentioned in the emails, but it is a great reminder to have here too. The traditional pages for digital scrapbooking are typically 3600x3600 pixels. In these projects, it would be best to have your photos at least 1000x1000 pixels. If they are larger, no problem, you will be able to size them down. If they are smaller, it might yield a blurred result. If you are using photos coming directly from a camera or a phone, they would already be big enough. It is mostly if you had scanned versions of old photos that you MIGHT have smaller images.

lavada vance Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 afternoon everyone I'm like you i prefer the light grey border and the white work space.. just seems to be easier to see. I'm not sure yet as to what photos I am going to use for this session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda J Walker Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'm gonna be using PSP 2019 for this bootcamp. I like the med gray workspace and background. I did fiddle with the size of the icons, because my eyes are old! I like the Materials and Layers Pallet open. A photo from this morning, fresh snow.
