Scrapbooking Theme – Trees

September 2, 2024September 1, 2020 by Cris T.

Trees play an important part in our world. They are like the vacuum of our planet as trees absorb harmful pollutants and release oxygen for every living creature to breathe. They also provide us food, shade, shelter, timber for construction, and many more. There are many types of trees and their sizes can be small to large depending on the area and environment.

You might have encountered lots of different trees. You might even have a bunch of them in your own backyard. Whether you’re a tree lover or one of those people who are just beginning to take interest in trees, we hope that these layouts will make you admire trees even more and give you ideas for your next awesome project.

What’s new in PSP2021?

January 9, 2023August 24, 2020 by Cassel

As for the last several years, this is the time when a new version of PaintShop Pro is released. Each version brings in new tools, new features, and new discoveries. In this version of PaintShop Pro, a lot of focus was put on AI tools and functions. Let's have a look at this new version.

Writing on different surfaces

January 9, 2023August 17, 2020 by Cassel

When adding text, designs, or even brush strokes on a digital layout, there is no difference in whether your element overlaps more than one surface. However, in real traditional paper craft, that would not be the case. First, you would be unlikely to write from one surface onto another one, and second, if you did, the result would show something very characteristic: a disruption in the continuity of the element. Here is how you can recreate that detail in digital projects.

Edit History in PaintShop Pro

March 22, 2024August 10, 2020 by Cassel

Do you ever work on a project in PaintShop Pro, and after many steps, you are wondering what setting you used about 20 steps back? Or after trying many different commands, you wonder which one you finally chose? PaintShop Pro stores that information and you can retrieve that information!

Scrapbooking Theme – Paper

September 2, 2024August 1, 2020 by Cris T.

Unlike newspapers,

People all over the globe use millions of metric tons of paper every year. Luckily, it is one of the most recyclable materials. Paper, typically made from wood pulp, is a sustainable product because it can be easily reused, recycled, and renewed. Although not all paper products can be considered recyclable, there are still a whole lot of them that can be reused such as magazines, newspapers, and office papers.

Have you tried recycling papers? Do you collect paper scraps simply because they’re too pretty to throw away? Or maybe you keep some papers because they hold memories you don’t want to forget? Whatever it may be, we hope that the layouts featured here will spark your interest to put those papers into good use and flaunt them in a scrapbook project.

Using overlays in PaintShop Pro

September 14, 2024July 27, 2020 by Cassel

Among the various supplies that one can use with PaintShop Pro, overlays are not native or specific to the program. You will not find a tool or a command to use overlays. You use them "on their own".

Featured Resource – Clip to it

September 14, 2024July 20, 2020 by Cassel

If you are pressed for time and need to complete a scrapbook album for a particular event, you might want to use a template. That will ease the work of deciding where to place this photo or that element or that paper. Templates can definitely be time-savers. Once you have chosen the template and the photos you want, you can go through the creation process even faster with a simple script called Clip to it.

Selective focus in PaintShop Pro

September 14, 2024July 13, 2020 by Cassel

Photographers have been able to adjust their camera settings to take great photos with a focus on their subject while the rest is purposefully out of focus. However, we don't all have a camera with that capability or we just happen to have a photo that could use that effect, but it is too late to take it again. With PaintShop Pro, we can recreate that selective focus (a feature available since version X4).

Using “reversed” shadows

September 14, 2024July 6, 2020 by Cassel

In creating digital projects, we have to be well aware of the power of shadows so we can replicate their effect and avoid a flat digital look, especially if we want to have a realistic layout. You already know that shadows will indicate the source of the light, the thickness of the element, and its distance from the surface the shadow is cast on. However, there is another way to use the Drop Shadow command in PaintShop Pro to mean something else.

Scrapbooking Theme – Shoes

September 2, 2024July 1, 2020 by Cris T.

Shoes are intended to protect and comfort our feet. Sometimes people buy them for decoration and others use them for fashion purposes. You'd be surprised at the variety and styles of shoes available today, even though they're primarily designed to keep our toes warm and covered. There are ones that are ideal for working. Some are great for walking and other everyday activities while others are perfect for special occasions.

Are you fond of collecting shoes? Do you pick a pair of shoes because you like the style or do you usually go for comfort and durability? Whatever the answer may be, we hope that you’ll be inspired to showcase your favorite shoes on a scrapbook page after checking the beautiful layouts featured below.
