The Change to target command is not the best to use for colorizing because it changes one color to another with no option to tweak it. It works I have plans for one masterclass about colorizing black and white photo but I would add the color to a separate layer. That gives you flexibility to add/remove sections and change the colors independently from the rest of the image or other sections you want to color. As for the artifacts, I don't know why they are there. Maybe the Change to target was not applied to those areas??

No, there isn't anything yet. But you can use the Quick-guide script to get the guides in the center and on the edges in one click. https://creationcassel.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_10&products_id=825 It is free. Maybe a script can be coded to replace (or add) the Open... command and open it with the guides? I can look into it

I don't know if it would work but in the past, I have run the .exe installation file again, and that is when I would get the option to repair.

When you Export, you should have a drop-down list of file formats and PNG is there (the first one).

Do you see tracks around your house? What are they? Neighbours' pets? Wildlife? Do you have pictures? Let's chat.

I don't have a specific answer to that since I still use Windows 10. However, there is a thread in the PSP User-to-user forum that you can check here. I don't know if PSP Thumbnail Handler would work with W11.

A long long time ago, my boyfriend was going for an archery competition. He had to fly from Montreal to Edmonton (I think) and due to the time zones, he was to arrive at the same "time" he was leaving Montreal. So yes, when flying west, it feels like a time warp!

This coming Saturday. It is scheduled for every other Saturday.

The border was necessary to have the letter stand out from the photo. And I also liked the effect so I will continue. I made myself a template so I will just reuse it.

I think her goal is different. She shows a walk-through where you might pick up some tips/processes along the way, but she is not specifically catering to newbies. Once you get comfortable with the program, her videos will make more sense and feel even more useful.

@Rene MarkerJust out of curiosity, why do you name your styles with the values and not the typical use for it, like "Paper", "Ribbon", "Flower", etc.?

Sorry, I skipped one day of feedback yesterday. @Jacques Glad that PSP is still meeting your needs. And yes, the Place command is interesting. The closest we have in PSP is the Open as a Layer script, although it will automatically place the element in the center only. @CristinaGlad you found it interesting enough to follow those tutorials. @Marie-ClaireDid you start with a photo of Poncho to generate that image or is it just a generic image? I love how you put the title "two words inside another". Clever! @Linda Rexford The "Scrapper's Dozen"!!! Wow! that brought some memories of myself recording videos in my kitchen for the theme! I didn't think anyone would remember that old event! As for Affinity Designer, I might have a go at it in the future, but right now, I will focus on one app at a time! @SharlaSimple is often better when you are just learning. As you practice, you can change things, go further, try different settings, etc. It is like a recipe: follow it to the letter the first time and tweak it after. @RaymondI can definitely understand that you want to stay with Affinity if you are doing Astrophotography and it has what you need. In PSP, we have the Sea & Sky workspace that might do some of what you do but since I am not familiar enough, I would not even be able to point you to the necessary tools/commands. @Carolyn RyeSave your emails so you can redo the tutorials later if you want. If not, I have added those tutorials (not with the additional links to supplies) in the navigation, under Classes > Beginner > Start here with Affinity Photo. It is the same videos so you can refer to them again as needed. @Ann SeeberI was not aware of that picture frame in PSP. How did you get it into Affinity? Tomorrow is the last day to post your projects to be entered into the random draw. And remember to fill out the survey. The link has been corrected.

Do you mean the color focus? https://scrapbookcampus.com/tips-tricks/colored-focus-on-black-and-white-photo-with-paintshop-pro/ That is a very old tutorial (using X3) but the technique is the same.

I finally found my A photo to take! A is for Apron. My husband loves to cook and bake and had asked for an apron a few years ago, for Christmas. I found one, but it was more with a "fall" theme. He was happy to have one to fit but the following year, I used my sewing skills and with some Christmas fabric, I recreated the pattern from the first apron and made him a holiday one (he does more baking for Christmas). So this is the Christmas Apron for the letter A. I also decided that I would turn the photos to black and white and only keep the featured "object" in colors. The main font is called Euphorigenic and the script font is Giddyup

Yes, and based on odd shapes, it would be more challenging. For example, looking at this tutorial, I find it would require many more clicks. Also, I find that, with a selection, you can get a precise and even "padding" all around the text. Doing that with the Pen tool would be less precise, in my opinion.

@Corrie Kinkel and @Rene Marker Affinity will wrap text inside a shape, whether it is made from a Shape tool or the Pen tool. The only way to get an irregular shape is by using the Pen tool to create that shape. I suggested to them that using a Selection would be more flexible and much faster in certain situations but for now, the only option is to draw that shape manually with the Pen tool. When I need to wrap text (and mostly have the ability to edit it), I will use PSP2022.

Yes, that is the wrong thread. This is the Scrap Bootcamp, from September (as Rene just posted).

@Marie-Claire Just to clarify, is this done in PSP or in Affinity?

OK, I found an explanation, and a correct link: https://forms.gle/cpwhhpt36iyKiYGGA

I am really puzzled as to why it does that. Let me try to find a solution. It is the first time (in 10+ years) that Google Forms seem to require responders to log in.

I am not sure why some people are asked to access the survey as a shared document (another gremlin?). You should access it without logging in or anything like that with this link.

Learning scrapbooking is often done with practice, looking around for inspiration, and trying to recreate projects we admire. Sometimes, we can be inspired by finished projects, but sometimes, we also have to use our imagination to interpret something. This challenge will allow you to envision something from a “boring” base, and you will have to imagine the end result differently. The sketch is only a written idea, and you can fly with it, modify it, and customize it to fit your vision, your photos, and your supplies. And if you want more information on using sketches, check out this article. Post your project in the gallery.

@Linda J WalkerGreat layout. Thank you for your kind words. Yes, it is a challenge to learn a new program AND know enough to teach what I know. @Jeni SimpsonI am glad to hear that the fifth layout was easier than you thought. That is a wonderful brooch! Thank you for your kind words too. @Saara I hope others will join, from the APC group. I sure was not expecting to teach you much about Affinity, but my goal was to "initiate" you to the digital scrapbooking use for it. 🙂 @CristinaYes, the next workshop will include tutorials for both programs. I have not made the Affinity tutorials available yet. They will be release for the workshop only. @Margo Ahern You might want to consider adding shadows to the elements on the page. You added them to the papers, the photo and the title. If you are looking for some supplies, all the suggested kits are free so you can start building your stash. @Daniel HessWhen you had issues copying/pasting, was your source layer a raster layer? If it is an Image layer for example, it will copy everything and not just what you selected. @Ann SeeberThose photos are super interesting!!! @Euka I also have a notebook with notes and tips. Over time, I might put many of them as blog posts or tips and tricks. @Jenny MacKay Glad to see that you succeeded with the pinking edge this time around. Did you put the shadow in the wrong angle on the yellow ribbon? Or maybe you put an inside shadow instead of an outside one? @Corrie KinkelFor wrapping text, what specific feature are you looking for that PSP has? @Gerry LandrethYou should hire River to watch over the gremlins! @Dianne Moon You will surely enjoy the next workshop, the Magazine Workshop. It should even be easier than the Bootcamp. @Julie MagerkaI agree with you that most videos on YouTube for Affinity tend to be about photo editing and photo composition, and Affinity is very powerful for that. It has great tools for scrapbooking, but don't ditch your PSP 😉 Keep it up and post your projects if you have not done so yet. You have the whole weekend to post 4/5 projects and be entered into the random draw. By the way, if you have any particular reason NOT to be included in the draw, make sure to let me know.

You are 100% correct. My husband is a Barclay.

Great discovery. I thought it was strange to have the same shortcut for more than one tool/command, but now, I see that it can work!
