Fixing your workspace
When you work with PaintShop Pro, you have the option to use one of the default display for the workspace or customize it to suit your own needs and preferences. Once you are set, it is important to SAVE your workspace. Follow this tutorial to learn how to do so. However, once in a while, some palettes or toolbars seem to disappear or misbehave. What is happening? And how do you fix that?
Selecting Text to Edit
When working with text in PaintShop Pro, you are likely to need to go back to it, to edit the spelling, to add more text, to change some attributes, etc. But how do you get that cursor to appear or the text to get highlighted? Let's have a look at a few tips that could help you.

10 minutes to scrap – Text and Title
At this point, you should already have your project "almost" done. With the photos fixed, and the papers chosen, layered, and arranged. It is time to add some journaling and a title. Although a picture is worth a thousand words, it does not always convey all the information YOU know about it, so anyone else looking at it won't get the whole story if you don't write it.
Adding glitters to your elements
Glitters can come in many formats, whether they are seamless tiles, papers or brushes. You can use any of those to add a festive touch to any element, text or design. The process is simple and there are a couple of basic techniques that you can use.
How to crop in a circle
Cropping is often used to fit an image into a limited space or to get rid of unwanted parts of a photo. You can typically think of cropping in a rectangular, but you can also use other shapes. The process is similar but has a couple of slight differences. Let's see how you can crop a regular rectangular image into a circle.
Scrapbooking Theme – Movies
Movies are among the top choices of people seeking a way to keep themselves entertained. Some consider watching movies as a hobby while others think of it as a form of bonding and spending quality time with their loved ones.
While television can also be a great source of entertainment, movies can give you more satisfaction and a different kind of experience. Take 3D movies as an example. They look more realistic and even bring the audience closer to the characters. They are really good, addictive and can even leave you speechless at some point.
Whether you watch movies as a pastime or it has always been on your weekend to-do list, we’re pretty sure there have been films that became your favorites. You might also have movie characters and stars that you fell in love with or a story that inspired you. So, we decided to share these awesome layouts and hopefully, you’ll be motivated to create your very own movie-themed scrapbook project.
