Paint Shop Pro Talk

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

BBB- Those are awesome eyes!

I have a question, has anyone tried using photofiltres for making icons? I cannot see a way to resize icons, or to make them except for in the default size of 32x32 pixels.

I'm not sure, but I think apple computers use only one size icon. Could it be that the photofiltre team are really avid Mac users?

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

I think you are probably right......in fact, I can't even open these 'exported' icons in any of my apps to resize them??

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

OOH, that last one is good, Buck! I like that green mysterious stuff you did! A filter?? The one in #794, I am still trying to figure out what all is in that pic! It looks a little different everytime!!

Uguel, I liked your drawing of ....you! LOL! How does one draw themselves? By memory or holding up a mirror and drawing at the same time??

I will try that drawing tool, not just yet, need a subject I think I can make recognizable, Hey Me!! Then BB can add it to her thread of pics! LOL! Yea, that's what I will do!

Glad you told us how to save it, Brad, are you and Soph feeling better??

Look in your mail soon, for that pic of Jimi too!

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Hi HandsOff!


....yes, I did.

Right, *the most usual way to create an icon in Photofiltre is by resizing a pic to 32x32. but let say you want transparent icon with no straight edges around it....you can open a transparent .gif in Photofiltre and export it as an icon. If you want it smaller, you can re-open it again in the program and you go to Image> Image Size and then you can change the dimensions of it.

But you must export it as an icon again. it will work but the image
will lost a bit of its quality after resizing it.

See screenshot...two icons I made from a .gif in PF.
One is 32x32 and the other was resized to 22x22.

* you can also draw it in Photoshop but there is no eraser tool, only the
undo feature.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Hi everyone
I just now installed paint shop pro 8
I have looked it over some. I plan to learn the whole thing. I would like to know if I can add sparkles to pictures, and animated (moving) words with paint shop pro 8, or do I need animation shop?
Thanks for any help. I wanted to ask here instead of starting a new thread since you all know these things. LOL Thanks

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Hi Sonya & welcome to this thread.
Best to do is start reading from the beginning and work your way through.
Try different features and above all have fun.
If you need to know something, just ask here.
For the moving pictures you do need Animation Shop or another program which allows to make animated gifs.
See you later.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

HI Sonya, I am not one of the ones that know all this stuff!LOL! But, most sparkles do need animation, there is a free download of Microsoft Gif animator, or go here for a 30 day free trial of Animation Shop...

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Thanks all !!! I am off to download the free trial.
Yes I may have some questions. I am on the learning part now, reading and getting examples. You can all look for me to come back here with more questions, LOL
Thanks everyone !!!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Oh gosh, LOL
I forgot a while back I already used the Animation Shop free trial, so I can't use it anymore. The only one I own is the Photo Shop Pro 8, LOL
Is there an online one I can use besides gifworks?
I am adding an example attachment, that I am wondering how it is done. Not the picture, but the words. Is this done with Animation Shop? I am also wondering if gif works online can do this. I don't think it can, I have used gifworks alot.Thank you all so much for helping me

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Well, if you don't like MS gif animator, there is a prog called ULead gif animator, here is where to get a trial download...I got an older version free on some UK site... Iceni60 knows it...I will look for it, just in case here is ULead's

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

If you upgrade your PSP version, you'll receive Animation Shop for free.
Otherwise I still have Gif Animator which I downloaded (free).
If you want it, send me a PM with your email address.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Thanks !!!
Eldar, I PMed you with my email address.

Marja, I may have to give the ulead one a try, thanks

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Eldar!!! I have a problem trying to use the background eraser, do you have time to get me going in the right direction??

Thanks! Marja

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Received, responded and send to you by SendIt.
Gmail invite is also on his way.

First when you use a picture, you've to promote it to a background layer (Layers > Promote Background Layer).
Afterwards you can use the magic wand to select sections you don't want.
Just hold the shift key while using the Magic Wand. It should expand your selection.
Did you make a mistake, hold the Ctrl key and deselect your mistake.
When done, just press the delete key to erase your selection.

Have a look at this lesson for the Background Eraser.
You'll have to find the right settings for the Eraser, as well as the background eraser.
Keep practising.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Thank you very much Eldar ! I am learning it now. It seems pretty easy. I really like it too !!
As far as the Gmail account, I am trying all these passwords until it accepts one, LOL
It won't accept any I have tried so far. But it will eventually, LOL
Thanks
Sonya

Hey Marja!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

LOL! It's Dag's cat!! Kahlua, that is sooo KEWL!! The ELECTRIC KAT!! He has just got to see this!!

Is that a ..got to be a filter, right?? That's tuff, Brad!! I am seriously jealous!! Wish I would have thought of it, but you got the eye.....somebody grab this guy for their ad business! LOL!

NOW, what about JIMI!!!?

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

I am gonna PM you for the datails on this one!! Be prepared to be tortured for the info!!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Eldar, or someone who can help. I downloaded the ulead full version. I am having trouble with the add banner text. When I make the text "roll" the text background is not transparent. I have "merge with background" checked.
When I try to choose a color, like transparent, that isn't an option anywhere, only colors are an option. I read on the help menu that some browsers wont support that option. Does anyone know what I am talking about?
thanks

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Ok I think I figured it out ! When I open a picture using the animation wizard is when it does what I said above.
But if I open a picture from file/open gif, it opens and works the way I want it to.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

GOOD! Now can you tell me what you did? LOL! Did you get the kinda of text you were posted the picture about?? That was something I hadn't seen - what is it- rollling text?


Yes, I think you will be going to the head of the newbie class.....me and BB will copy off your stuff.... LOL!
Seriously, PM me and tell me how it went! I had some issues with ULead animator too!
