4 Ways I Set up my Workspace

September 13, 2024October 14, 2019 by Cassel

Whether you are following a tutorial from the DIAMOND membership, attending a live class in the Campus or watching a YouTube video where I demonstrate various techniques, you might be wondering if we are using the same version, because my workspace and tools seem to be different from yours. Don't worry. The reason they look different is that I have customized it to suit MY preferences. If you want to recreate the same workspace, you can follow the steps below. If you prefer your own, it is totally fine. Neither one is better than the other.

Scrapbooking Theme – Sunset

September 2, 2024October 1, 2019 by Cris T.

A beautiful sunset is one of the most amazing sights you can enjoy without having to spend any penny. It is also among the most desirable subjects that photographers love to shoot. Well...aside from the fact that you can catch it wherever you may be, you can definitely achieve a great photo of it without having to put too much effort. Sunset possesses a charm that enchants the eye and it’s simply cannot be replicated.

We know the sunset is more than just a pretty view or a scientific phenomenon. Most people think of it as a sign that the day is finally over—it’s time to kick back and relax. Some see it as a moment for reflection while others refer it as a beautiful ending and another opportunity to be better and do better. Sunsets also bring a sense of completion, joy, hope, peace and an unexplainable satisfaction.

How about you, what does sunset mean to you? Do you like watching the sun go down? Are you one of those who love taking sunset pics? Here’s a fantastic theme that will help you show off those awesome sunset image collections you’ve got!

Square or Rectangular?

If you have looked through scrapbook galleries, you might notice that some layouts are square, and others are rectangular. Is there a difference and if so, what is it? what are the pros and cons of each size?

The script failed – What is that error?

May 15, 2024September 16, 2019 by Cassel

If you are a PaintShop Pro user, you might have found and used some scripts. They are a series of automated commands to accomplish various tasks for you, faster or more accurately. However, running a script will occasionally lead to an error (and an annoying sound). Most failures will show an error message that will be meaningful to the user, or the one coding the script.

Scrapbooking Theme – Underwater

September 2, 2024September 1, 2019 by Cris T.

Being underwater is one of the purest forms of pleasure. It provides people not just a unique experience but also an opportunity to be mindful and focus on the present moment. No wonder a lot of people crave going to the beach, make a splash or dive deep into the ocean.

Aside from the happiness and calming effect you get from dipping underwater, the sights can also leave you spellbound. There are numerous kinds of coral and marine species that you can find. Some are weird-looking and most are fascinating. It’s truly an amazing world, especially when you get to see what underwater has in store for you!

Do you love being underwater? Why not capture your favorite underwater moments and showcase them! Here’s a cool theme that will inspire you.

Featured Resource – TheFontThing

September 13, 2024August 26, 2019 by Cassel

Most PaintShop Pro users like to find and download fonts. There are so many cute fonts and more and more, we find free fonts so why not download them so we'll have them later when we need something different. The problem is that we download and download and gather a large collection that is just impossible to browse through and we end up using the same fonts. Using a font manager will help tremendously in viewing the fonts and organizing them. The best font manager/viewer that I have found is TheFontThing.

And when you want to use one font, do you tend to revolve around the same ones all the time? You can't spend hours sifting through everything you have, right? It is time to clean up.
