Paint Shop Pro Talk

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Well, I am already finished.
Let me know if there is stg you don't understand after you tried the program.
Here is the menu translated. Hope I did not forget anything....

Reflet Menu


Fichier= file
Ouvrir= open
Quitter= to quit, or close

Options=options
Animation entrée=animation enter
Vitesse=speed
Lente= slow
Moyenne= medium
Rapide=fast
Type de vagues= waves mode
Courte= short
Moyenne= medium
Longue= long
Image=image
Hauteur= height
Perpective=view, perspective
Regulier=regular

you will see a yellow folder, so you can
open your image from there. Next to it, there is the animation signal button, the hands with the signal gadget, and after to the right the export button.

--->see where it is written ''hauteur'' this is the place where you can adjust the animation or the space you want to allow to the water.<---

I also notice that I have better results with pictures that are
rather large than long.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Thanks very much Uguel.....saved me much Babel Fishing! My french is pretty poor....but my spanish has been getting better of late!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Thanks Uguel, it gives a lovely reflection of the water.
Can't wait to try it out.
BTW I speak French fluently, although my writing could be better. Only practice helps.
Excellent translation of the menu.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Eh, merci ! Ça fait plaisir d'entendre cela!
Je suppose que tu li le français sans difficultés, n'est-ce pas?
Oh, pourrais-tu proposer le prochain thème s.v.p.?

Another one I made long ago...

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Je n'ai aucune difficulté de lire ou de parler le français. Ecrire me pose des problèmes, car je ne l'ai pas fait depuis des années. A mon travail j'en ai presque jamais besoin.

I have no trouble reading or talking French. Writing gives me problems, because I haven't done it in ages. At my work I don't need much.

Merci beaucoup pour la proposition Uguel! Laisse moi reflêchir une peu ... Pourquoi pas le feu? Ca pourra m'aider à mieux faire les essais pour Firecat.

Thanks for the proposal Uguel! Let me think ... Why not fire? It could help me with the tests of Firecat.

Splendid, I really love that picture. Reminds me of my wonderful vacation in Switserland.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Just playing....

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Another....

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Well done Brad!

they both look good but I'd say that
the one in post 281 is my favourite.
And, I am sure that the one you posted of Sophie
looking at the water (post 796) in the Angels thread
might be interesting to try. Of course, you might have
to reduce the picture a bit at the bottom not to have
too much water...depending on the result you want to
achieve. Keep on the good work!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Thanks Uguel,
Quick question. Adding frames to animations? Is there an easy method or has it got to be added to each frame individually? I can only get things to paste to one frame (even though all are selected) unlike when you crop...it crops all the frames simultaneously....
Thanks,
Brad.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Okay, normally I add a frame to each of them indivudally before
opening them in Jasc Animation software.

but...

Let say you have a .gif that you like and that has no frames...
and you decide that you want to add a frame to them...


This is my method, I open the .gif in Jasc Animation shop,
then I notify the size of the .gif, if it says that it is
150X80, I will open Paint Shop Pro, create a transparent
picture of 150x80, add a frame to it, and then I will export
it as a .gif on my desktop.

Then I will open the picture with the frame in Jasc Animation shop
and will duplicate it until I get the same number of frames as in the
animations.

For instance if my original animation has 5 frames, I will
duplicate my frame 5 times. What I do is this: I select my frame
(it becomes blue) I go to "edit" do "copy" and "paste after the selected picture". I do it until I get 5 frames .

--->this can be done by right clicking too<---

Then I click on my animation (the one that has no frame yet) go to "edit" and click on "select all", the frames will all become blue, and then you click on the series of frames, to select them, the one that has only frames...no picture inside , you go to "edit" again, and then you click "select all" and then you click on "copy in the selected picture" so then you can copy your animation into the animation that has the frames only.

--->the general priciple behind this is that you copy
the smaller frames, into the bigger ones<---

If there is stg you don't understand or is not clear just tell me.
For I might post you a screenshot by tomorrow.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Thanks! I think I understand. I was worried about adding frames individually...thinking that if they weren't lined up perfectly, they would appear to 'jump' in the animation!.....but your method would solve that. I'll give it a try.
Thanks again,
Brad.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Okay, another one made with Reflet.
I had to cut and re-arranged the picture after I applied the effect
for the picture was about 2 inches too long.
it sure is still long but look at that boat!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Your welcome!

The trick not to have it jump when you duplicate a picture
is to go to "edit" then you choose "copy" and "paste after selected image".


Also, you can also take a frame that has a coloured background
(provide it has the right size), but after you duplicated it and that
you are ready to paste your animation in it, you must make sure
that there is no background showing, so you got to have a very
good sight or you might increase the size of the picture while doing so.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

That's excellent Uguel! You've got the knack for picking the right picture! Boats would be excellent subjects to use with reflet..

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Just playing again....tried a few wallpapers over here too.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

I was quite proud of this one....

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Ooooh! That's beautiful, BBuck!! Really mysterious, I wasn't going to sign in, but, had to tell you and everyone that you are getting so good!

Got my prog, but, I don't have a clue where to start, so guess at the beginning of this thread is good, huh?

Hope to catch up someday!LOL!

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Very nice Big Buck. Verrry nice. Purrrr

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

yep, this one is REAl good!
Keep on the good work Brad!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Thanks guys! I was pretty happy with it......but since I post enough garbage, surely I an bound to fluke a good occasionally!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

lol, we posted so many pics that is is normal not
to perform all the time, eh?
Anyway I enjoy looking at people creations and learn
only at looking at their pics!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Brad I like that picture with the earth setting over the lake at nite. Uguel I like the butterfly #258.

I guess no one has looked at dreamy photo? Oh well. I always used the think the more detail the better the picture. Lately the girls around here like going and getting there pictures taken at this low cost studio. I tell them I could take much better pictures but they dont believe me. I took a look at one, and I got it. The photographer makes the picture all blurry (to erase all the imperfections)

Now I think there are two types of good pictures. good detail and blurry.

anyway that is the point of dreamy photo sort of. they try to blur, but by using a gausian blur. I'm not used to purposely bluring stuff though.

Maybe i will give it a quick try.


-HandsOff

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

okay, I tried dreamy photo on the dog picture. it works pretty good but you cant really tell at this size and resolution.


Handsoff

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Yeah, when resizing you always lose some quality. It always happens to me too. Nice try though.
Tried it with a radial blur and it gives a nice touch to the picture, although you must not set it too high.

Saw that picture yesterday, but no time to congratulate you Brad. Incredible job. Downloading now ...
BTW Did you make the reflection of the moon yourself? You copied the picture, rotated and applied a ripple effect and afterwards pasted it into your design and applied a blending effect? Just guessing the steps of our new graphics master to be.
