The Vision FX is a plugin for 64 bit versions of PSP. You can find it in the Effects drop down menu under plugins.( If you do not have a picture open it will be grayed out). When it is requested a screen opens to recommend that up set it up with your GPU (if one is installed on the computer). The HDR FX also appears to be accessed from this section of the plugin menu. Going to search for the help files now. To use a GPU with Vision FX it needs to have more than 12Gb of VRAM (is that a top of the range GPU as mine only has 4Gb and will not work)

F = Flowers placed on a grave

I have now downloaded and installed the bundle and it is LARGE. Took about 5 Hours to complete the whole process of registering, paying, downloading and installing. (My broadband connecting speed is about 30Mb/sec which give approximately 3.5Mb/sec of data received) . The biggest files are the Fx files , one of them is 9.5Gb . I am posting this as information to any member who is on a monthly limited connection or a connection slower than mine. Now starts the long process of learning how to use the programmes. I normally download the pdf help files onto a memory card and view them on my tablet ( I am 'old school' and like to have a book to follow)

Tutorials are available at the Corel Discovery Center. You can sign up for the Discovery Center newsletter that gives links to new tutorials for Corel products, regular free templates and links to other offers. I am also looking at the offer and the chance to also get Painter with all the add ins.

Z = Zorbing. Rolling down a hill inside a ball like suit.

X = Xenotoca Eiseni. I had to lookat scientific names for aquarium fish on Wikipedia to find more starting with X Xenotoca Eiseni more commonly known as the Redtail Splitfin or Redtail Goodeidae is native to Mexico

Q = Queen Anne Cherry

I have read these posts and have found many suggestions, but I have not seen a suggestion of an early question that should be asked. What is your Digital Scrapbook / Page for? How will it be Dislayed? If I were to print a traditional Scrapbook page 12 inches X 12 inches I would need an A2 size printer. My printer is size A4 (letter size USA). Should I make my page to fit my Printer? Am I going to display my page on my computer screen or send it to my Tablet / IPad / Phone ? ( So many different sizes and shapes ) If I am making a Scrapbook (instead of just a page) I could send it for printing and to be made into a book. How about displaying it electronically ? Many of us will have received a copy of Corel FastFlick with our copy of PaintShop Pro Ultimate. Has anyone used this to display their Scrapbook ? I have Scrapbooked a title page for a series of photographs that were made into a video with background music using Fastflicks.

Q = Quince Known more as a fruit but has a light pink blossom.

The last UK Solar Eclipse on 11th August 1999 occured whilst I was a Cub Scout Leader. I had set the Cub Scouts a challenge to write a " newspaper report" of the Eclipse and their experience of it. The main memory they had of it was of the sudden drop in temperature ( 8 - 10 degrees if I remember correctly) , and we where located over 200 miles away from the totality zone and only saw a partial eclipse. I remember the changes of the wind as it went darker and then lightened up again. I also wrote a report but cannot find it or the pictures from a weather satalite showing the shadow on the earth.

Thankyou Carole I missed the typing error of the date

No not a drawn one. The one of the Sun. I have just read a report that advises of a Total Solar Eclipse on 8th April 2024. The area of totality travels from Mexico over the USA to Canada . Sorry Carole it looks as though it will miss you by a couple of miles !! I am too far away in the UK to see any of this Eclipse. To find the track of the Moon's shadow just search Great American Eclispe 2024 on the internet. Will it touch anybody else ?

A= Apple Pie with Custard or Cream or Ice Cream is always the question.
