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.
Whether you need glasses or you are just getting older, you might find your display looks smaller and smaller. There are simple ways to customize your PaintShop Pro to see better despite those challenges. Let's look at a few ways.
Picture frames are commonly used to display beautiful pieces of art, photography, documents, and treasured mementos. Using them is a nice option if you wish to personalize and fill any empty space. They can add character and a sense of style, making any room look more unique and interesting. What’s even cooler about this popular home accessory is that it comes in many forms, colors, styles, shapes, and textures.
Do you like putting your photos and keepsakes in a picture frame? Do you enjoy collecting picture frames? Or do you include frames on your layouts? If your answer is YES, then these sets of lovely layouts may give you more ideas for your next project.
In version X7, Corel added a new feature to PaintShop Pro called the Magic Fill. It is meant to get rid of elements on a photo and replace them with something that would come from the existing background. Let's explore this tool a bit further.
