In the backend, it shows that it was sent to you about 18 hours ago.

I have found the error in the backend. I think nobody had received their confirmation before I fixed it! Now, everything should be set.

Do you watch the Olympics? If so, what events do you like to watch or keep track of? Do you have some personal stories related to the Olympics? Let's share.

Although I personally would not use those as SCRIPTS, they make for nice templates that you can tweak. There is no real reason to run them as scripts, since they are really just templates. I call those scripts "Templates-in-disguise". Some designs are interesting, and with your knowledge of PSP, you can tweak the results much more and use the elements with more variations.

No, it is not normal, so let me check the backend for you.

The unevenness of the lines can be achieved with the Warp Brush set to Noise. The polkadot effect could be made with an overlay. Maybe a Scraplift tutorial of the month could be an additional feature in the membership?

That is why I started adding some references to past blog posts and classes in the newsletter. 🙂

I have the hardest time typing on my phone when using messenger and I don't know how I would use a tablet for PSP, but apparently, some people are comfortable with that kind of screen and interface. At work, before I retired, we got a tablet and I think I only figured out how to turn it on and off. I checked the few things that were installed, and just navigating that was a struggle.

That might be part of another Vector workshop? I am sure I have mentioned the Tracking at some points, but can't remember in which tutorials.

Our newest challenge will soon start. Are you in? Are you frustrated with drop shadows? Are you at a loss when you need to use them? The workshop will start on August 19th. This workshop will be FREE for everyone, so spread the word. Here is the link again: https://scrapbookcampus.com/workshops/shadow/ Let us know when you are registered, and share your biggest challenge about using shadows. This workshop is a brand new one.

I heard that it is possible to install and use PSP on some tablets that have an x86 Intel processor, but it would not work on ARM types of processors. Do any of you have such a tablet? Have you ever tried installing PSP on it?

Now, you can breathe again! 🙂

When you use the Pen tool, what value does the Tracking have? I find that if you start with a value around 60, the shakiness is not "captured" by the program as much as if the Tracking is much lower.

If you go to the pages with visual thumbnails, you can use the search field to find all the "knot" tutorials 🙂

Although PSP is likely the primary program you use, I am sure your "toolbox" includes other programs. What are they? What do you use them for? Maybe you use a commonly known program, but maybe not?

Let's make things a little fun for you. Are you looking for ways to spark your creativity and still create something meaningful? This will be a fairly regular challenge for you. Every time, you will be given instructions to use 1, 2, and 3 of something. Would that be more than you usually use? or less? Let's see. Create a layout using : 1 streamer 2 metallic words 3 knots on ropes (it could be one rope or more than one) You can create those elements or use what you currently have in your stash. Showcase any photo, use any template (if you want). Just make sure you include the required elements.

With your experience, you can surely replicate the main parts as if they were sketches!

Do you want to challenge yourself to take photos every week for a year? Maybe you want to practice your photography skills, or just try to capture "ordinary" daily occurrences. Let's just encourage each other. This is a no-pressure thread, and you can share the photos you took or the theme you are going for (if you are going with a theme). And if you don't want to share the photos yet, and only showcase them once they are in a montage or a scrapbook page, you can just say that you did it. And it is ok to start your 52 weeks at any time. It does not have to start in January!

It is a new month and new projects. Show off what you are working on in August be it a scrapbook page, a collage, a tutorial, or anything else you want. We are curious and want to see, learn, and get inspired. These threads are quickly becoming a fantastic source of inspiration, support, and friendship. Keep them coming! Remember to size down your image to about 600x600 pixels and save it in .jpg format before posting it (if you are creating a double page, you can resize it to 1000 pixels in width if you don't want to post the pages separately). Here are a few guidelines for everyone: when you post a project, give as much information on your sources or techniques used. It will help others who are curious and would like to do the same. if someone uses something that you like on their page, ask where they got it. Sometimes, you can go get it too and it will be better quality than trying to extract it (as it would have been resized to post in the forum anyway). if it is something that they did from scratch, ask how they did it. It would be so helpful to everyone! if you like a photo and would like to “play with it”, ALWAYS ask permission. Sometimes, there are some limitations and the person is not allowed to let others use it. Don’t get them in trouble. Usually, people are happy to say yes (if they can) when you ask politely. And if you get permission, you might get a better-quality image than the resized image anyway.

The theme for August is ADVENTURE. What is an adventure for you? A bike ride? An afternoon watching birds and wildlife? A slow walk in a national park? Or you have some bolder adventures to tell us about? Let's go! Post your project in the gallery.

In August, our monthly theme is ADVENTURE. Where do you escape for new thrills? The mountain? The river? The forest? What kind of adventures attract you? There are so many kinds of adventures for all seasons too. Let's think of different words we can associate with the multiple adventures available to us. Let's go!

I can't find any recent post but I seem to remember that it is no longer working with PSP. I think it was discussed in the old user-to-user forum. Maybe you can contact Corel/Alludo support to confirm that?

Various areas in the world might have some very specific wildlife that is not found elsewhere. What would your area/neighbourhood be known for? Do you have some exclusive species in your neighbourhood? Share the stories and pictures if you can.
