PSP Help

LOL - it is a lot what you are comfortable with. Tutorials are a good way to get to know the features and I know Corel has several on their site. I guess I feel just as intimidated in PS (I still have v.7) -- and with the price of Photoshop, I can own a new computer and the newest PSP and extra memory for my computer. It is nice to have each to take advantage of their specialties.

Here's a link to Corel Tutorials (there's a navigation bar to the left).

Also - newer link at Corel
I just "poked around" their site and this is newer but there's still a lot of information at the older one too.

In PS when I want to write a paragraph, it allows me to create my rectangle and then the type will fill that as I go. Can I do this in PSP? All I can do is create a single line, unless I keep hitting Enter. Please tell me that there is a better way.

You can type you text in Word and then cut and paste it into PSP. Otherwise, no you have to add line breaks manually. Believe it or not, this gives you more flexibility on how you format your text.

But its so annoying!! Awww well, patience is a virtue, right?

Text is one of the things I hate in PSP for a few reasons...one is it bogs down my puter sooo bad (biggest one) it will also crash my puter if I hit enter and have to go back to do adjustments...I have to save alot and hope I don't crash before saving!!! I will usually do it in a few different entries when doing alot of journaling. and sometimes I will dup my text and then convert one of the layers to raster. just so I at least have everything I journaled, if I don't have it in a word doc. I find that copy and pasting from a word doc is harder for me and it actually crashes more often. Maybe I am not doing it right ??? but alot of times I figure out what I am gonna write in a word doc and then type it into PSP. as far as doing what is it called where both sides are even...Stacey taught me about that...you use the kerning...PS has PSP in my opinion beat on this by far...this is one of the reasons I like PS is for text!!! OH and doing text on a path eek....well it isn't that bad I guess, it's more when I go and save it...that is when I defineately dup my text layer and raster it so that I don't loose the path in the saving mode and save save save!!! LOL!!!

You know this is an awesome thread!!! and I was wondering what you all think about putting it in the members area...it has some great tips on programs!!!

[Amy Eileen]

We should. I might do just that.

Chris - I find PSP's kerning capabilities far superior to PS's. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in PS. But I seem to have more control when I'm typing around shapes in PSP. Of course, if I change font or font size, then I say dirty words.
