PaintShop Pro has a variety of Selection tools, and even more were added in version X6 with the Selection Brush and the Auto-Selection tool. Although selecting a specific area is simple, sometimes we would like the selection in a different area. That is possible with PaintShop Pro.
People say we should work hard and play harder. We shouldn’t be just working all week long. And we definitely agree to that! There must also be time allocated for some activities that we enjoy and to make that happen, first we need to have a good work and life balance. This will give us the opportunity to relax, explore more, learn new hobbies, and live our lives to the fullest!
We believe making time for your favorite hobbies is a form of self-care. Some people find it entertaining and stress-reducing. Others think of it as a way to improve themselves in another field that they are passionate about. Whichever group you may belong to, all we can say is do more of the things that make you happy and take you closer to your goals.
What kind of hobbies and interests do you have? Are they activities that enhance your skills? Or do you do them just for entertainment and relaxation? Whatever your answers to these questions, we hope that you will get inspired by these fun layouts that we will be sharing in this post which give focus on the different types of hobbies most people love.
When you work with raster layers and draw or extract elements or shapes, you might end up with some pixellated edges. You likely want something smoother for a better finish. Let's look at a few tips and tricks to help you achieve that.
Users have asked for The text-wrapping feature for many years and finally, in version X7, Corel added it. This long-awaited feature was incredibly useful for scrapbookers who could now add text in odd-shaped areas. Graphic designers can wrap text around subjects on their photos. Let's see how to use this fantastic feature.
Can you feel the heat? Yes, summer is finally here! And what better way to enjoy this season than to visit a nearby sea, play with the sand, and have a splash of refreshing ocean water. But aside from that, there are still a couple of interesting things you can do by the beach and some of it includes shells!
Seashells, also known simply as shells, are the exoskeletons of mollusks such as snails, clams, oysters and many others. They are typically composed of calcium carbonate or chitin. Most shells that are found on beaches are the shells of marine mollusks, partly because they are usually made of calcium carbonate, which can endure better than shells made of chitin. A lot of people collect them for souvenirs, decoration purposes, or simply for fun.
Do you find shells beautiful? Do you search for some shells whenever you go to the beach? Or maybe you have some shell collection! Why not make them as your subject for your next project! Here are several layout ideas you can take inspiration from.
Templates can be great time-savers. Having to search for new templates all the time, however, could waste the time you hope to save. Why not reuse the same template more than once? Although you might be ok reusing a template more than once, you might want a little more variation. Let's see what you can do, starting with a single template.
With PaintShop Pro 2019, Corel released an add-on program called Pic-to-Painting. It was separate from PaintShop Pro and could add some unique effects to photos. With PaintShop Pro 2020, a new workspace was added, called Photography, and it included some instant effects that a user could apply to their photos for a different look. With PaintShop Pro 2021, however, Corel decided to include the effects from Pic-to-Painting along with the Instant effects in the Photography workspace, giving the users even more options, right inside the program.
We have seen, in previous posts, that you can set up your PaintShop Pro in different ways, depending on your needs. You can set it up with larger displays if you have low vision, you can clear the clutter when you first start your program, you can set it up in the same way I do when following the Campus tutorials. But there is still a lot more you can adjust to suit your own style.
Conventionally regarded as collective regions, continents are the Earth’s main divisions of lands. Right now, we have a total of seven continents. These are Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. However, according to theory, we used to have a supercontinent called Pangaea which geologists believed existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras and began to break apart about 175 million years ago.
Can you imagine how it would have been like if that supercontinent did not break apart? I’m imagining that traveling from one country to another would have been much easier! Now I’m getting curious. How many continents have you explored and which one would you like to visit again once you can finally travel without any worries?
I know some of you already missed going to your favorite places abroad so for this month’s theme, we decided to show you some cool layouts that represent the beauty of the different continents of the world as well as the countries they have.
If you like to have a finishing touch to your photos or projects, you might like to add a picture frame. Of course, you can find some online, but PaintShop Pro has some, already integrated into the program, for you to use. And even better, you can build your own collection too.
