Doska St.

Good 2. Advent morning Corel,

thank you for your understanding answer. Yes, in my opinion the forum is very restrictive but also very versatile, but that may also be due to the stricter German copyright law and the fact that violations of it can be quite expensive for a forum admin.

Edit:

Sorry, I can no longer recommend this German forum. I'm out again, too rude in tone and excessive credit demands. This "leadership" is simply driven by fear and has no trust in the members to handle the material and the credits responsibly. A pure copy police. It's no fun to share something

Hi dear ones,

Even though I'm not showing or writing anything here at the moment, I'm committed to learning PSP. Through a blog link I found a German forum that teaches PSP written tutorials. I'm now learning how to use the important tools. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to show teaching results there in other forums, but anyone who is in the DS can see from my latest scraps that I used the Messystitches from Caroles Fontstitches ("What if...") I already have a current watermark created with my current nickname. I just wanted to wish you a nice 2nd Advent weekend

I only discovered the chat function to the right of the video later, I was always looking for it at the bottom. I'll know next time.😁

Hello Carole,

unfortunately, I had to cancel the masterclass webinar yesterday. It was too fast for me, I couldn't keep up with the tinkering and it was too late in the evening. I had already spent the whole day making graphic preparations for Advent/Christmas/birthday and was very tired. As a Diamond winner, I will rework the videos in peace, at my own pace (pause video). But nice that I could experience you live Carole.

Have a nice week.

Hi all,

I'll continue writing here. My masterclass starts tomorrow. I've just had a look at all the lessons. I am pleased that they are mainly made for scrapbooking. I still have a question. I like to make 3-part woven patterns with ribbons, strings or paper strips as border decoration. Is there a script for PSP that makes this possible, perhaps even with several strands? It is an immense amount of erasing work the larger the woven piece becomes.

Here is an exampel what I mean:

Ok, thanks Carole and Sue,

I'll take a look at it now. I hope PSP isn't as complicated in settings as PS was.

Edit:

It worked. It was cleaner with the layers when I painted the pentool seam onto a new canvas.

It's just a bit more tedious for me to do translation work in the video. Unlike Googletranslate, deepl translated the word "warp" as "Verwerfung" in german (refers to the tight rounding of the seam around the ellipse). I will now translate the written Tut in the PDF file before I continue with further stitching.

 It's great if I can add seams to Scrap using the program instead of always looking for finished PNGs. Saves digital storage. I'll then experiment with a few favorite fonts.
Thanks again for the boosting help.

Hi all,

Sorry, me again.

I'm having problems with the drawing pen this time. I don't get a dashed line. What needs to be set and how?

What is a miter limit? (deutsch: Gehrungsgrenze)

Those were just the PDF files I downloaded yesterday that I needed to reinstall the defaults during the scrapping course. These were other videos from the last few days of the masterclass that I'm now trying out one after the other. How many files can I download and within what period of time?

I'm glad it worked at You too. keep the answer for a next time. 😉

Of course, I have created folders for your valuable tips and the PDF tutorials, which I translate into German, so that the next time the program crashes I can solve it myself. Thanks again Janette and Carole.

Good Night🥱🌙 until tomorrow🙋‍♀️

Glad that worked. I don't typically suggest this as the first step to reset since it means you reset EVERYTHING, which means you have to re-customize also everything. I like to start with "less drastic" measures.

Hi Carole,

could I please have the Links to the Open as Script videos and to the Repeat Icon video or PDF-Files, the videos in Scrapcourse don't work again.

Thank you.

Edit:

I found the PDF files among the modules and then restored all the small auxiliary icons to my workspace and saved them. But it would be helpful if the videos worked again in the long term.

B*I*N*G*O,

that was the crucial tip🤩. Now the layer icons are back. Thank you, Jannette🥰. Now I just have to go back to the settings that Carole described in the video at the beginning of the boot camp, then I have the additional icons again and can continue with the tutorials.👍

Hi Carole,

yes, I've already reset there, but it hasn't changed anything about the layer display. I think I'll delete the whole program and reinstall it, I still have the exe file.

Here my new Screenshot after I reset that under View > Customize > toolbars:

Hi Carole,

Unfortunately that didn't work either. The icons are specified as text (screen), which does not fit into the narrow frame and is not fully legible. In the Corel help, under Layers there is only help for editing, not how to place or restore the icons after a crash.

My Open-as-layer-rename script is still there with my chosen icon.

Hi Carole,

I still need help, as I showed in the screenshot above, how to get my icons displayed again in the layers. Also the repeat script icon.

Hello,

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not interested in calendars. I've done this before in a PS course, but have no use for it.

I also rarely work with ready-made templates in which you just have to put photos. I would like to learn to design and create deco myself with PSP. I really like cutout or 3D effects in general. Yesterday I downloaded a few videos from the master class that I liked. I like frames, borders/edges, working with dingbats, emboss effects (which I learned in PS and would also like to continue with PSP) and photo manipulations like out of bounds or crossfades. I would also like to know which file extensions PSP can load and process or convert. And otherwise I let myself be inspired by all the techniques you might need for scrapping. I'm not under any time pressure.

Attached is an example of my PS emboss frames and the screenshot of the missing icons in the layers

Hello all,

This is my last module in the basic scrap course. I had a number of difficulties, e.g. For example, the icons at the top and bottom of the LEVEL in the program have completely disappeared. It didn't appear again after restarting the program. Where can I make them visible again? My script icon also disappeared once, but I was able to restore it again. Furthermore, I couldn't mark my title text, then the text cursor suddenly became small (from 400 to 65, for example). Does this have something to do with the performance of my PC/graphic card? But we also had quite a few network connection problems over the weekend. Have you also had similar experiences?

Ok and now, where should I continue, building on the course so to speak? In the master class or in the lab?

Die kleine grüne Heuschrecke hatte es aus dem Exoskelett verworfen und ist dabei, ihr neues zu verhärten. Wenn ich zoomen kann, kann ich sehen, dass es immer noch durchscheinend ist. Semi transparent. Das Exoskelett auf der Seite gehört nicht zur kleinen grünen Heuschrecke.

 

You photograph beautifully, Sue. What I'm particularly interested in is the font name of the title

Thank you Janette.

Yes, I love the Art Nouveau and there are very beautiful fonts in this style, especially for vintage or festive scraps. Dafont is my favorite font provider, very clear.

Hi Carole,

that's what I did then. I wanted the text color to be dark blue, but that didn't work for me as you showed in the video. Thank you for the confirmation. Then I left that black. It probably would have looked black when scaled down anyway.

Hello all,

this time there are no flowers and bows, just oil cans and coal☺️. I wanted to do a technical scrap. As a child I lived on a railway line in the Black Forest, so I have a soft spot for the railway.

The challenge was the text. For me, T couldn't be selected when I had selected 2 layers to change the font color. It could also be due to my graphics card, which was quite busy when I had to use the video and graphics program. The double shadow was also a bit difficult. Suddenly there were 2-3 shadows behind the object. I quickly deleted it and reloaded it and then checked the box for drop shadow with extra layer, then moving the shadow or blurring it worked.

The papers are all from Creative fabrica. The photo was taken by a former work colleague Frank St., who photograph Trains worldwide. I have his permission.
The deco is from Kisspng and pngtree.

Hello Carole and members,

I'm still very happy about winning Diamond membership and I'm really interested in PSP and participating here in the forum, but age is taking its toll. My husband (hemiparetic for 20 years, but no need for nursing care) and I have been having increasing health problems for a year. We now increasingly have various appointments away from home and, due to various health policy challenges, we also experience frustration and therefore a need for rest.
At the moment I want to concentrate on my course and learning PSP, which I love and a welcome distraction. I read along in the forum, but I don't feel like joining in the discussion. Once I've completed the courses and a few lessons and our appointments have been completed and "suffered", then I can get involved in the forum a little more. So it's not a lack of interest, but simply a lack of time and concentration at the moment.

Anyone who would like is welcome to pray for us. Thank you.

Doska

Oh yes, and thank you very much for the lovely likes and hearts so far.😃👍💝🤗

Thanks for asking Bonnie,

yes the new advanced options are exciting.🤩

Edit: Sorry Carole, yes, I'll try it out and write down step by step tips in a ring binder for offline reading. I have another question: There is always an “automatically maintained” subfolder in my save folder. Do I have to keep it or can I delete it after I have finished my exercise?
