1.) Create a new image and make it 800 x 400 pixels in size.
2.) Add a Picture Frame to it, inside or outside the image.
Presto! You have a FAR-OUT looking Picture Frame with UNEQUAL width
sides!
What's that, NOT UNEQUAL enough? Well, that's simple to FIX! Just create
a 800 x 200 pixel image, add a frame to it, and you'll have a Picture
Frame that's four (4) times wider on two (2) sides than it is on the
other two!!!!!! The possibilities are endless!!!
Simply amazing - brought to you by those "The Power To Create" people,
Jasc!

No, Joe, the ONLY way to get a "perfect" Picture Frame is to work with a
SQUARE image, such as 640 x 640 pixels. A 640 x 480 pixel image will
yield a 1.333:1 ratio width Picture Frame.

So, what you're saying is, if I WANT perfection, then DON'T use any of
the Picture Frames included with PSP, but rather, MAKE MY OWN?

Well, as usual, a two minute search on the 'net and I found an
application which CAN DO Picture Frames correctly. Heck, I can twist,
flip, stretch them and even create my own Picture Frames. Probably some
kid in high school created this application, Joe!!! No wonder why it
works correctly! :-)
Here's my examples:

Yeah, Joe, but YOU had to CREATE YOUR Picture Frames, which is very TIME
CONSUMING and BORING.
This little app DOESN'T CARE how wide or how tall the image is. It will
ALWAYS create a symmetrical Picture Frame.
Maybe Jasc can hire this fantastic programmer to fix their PSP Picture
Frame blunder. However, I think they'll have to pay him with something
other than the typical bananas!!!
Joe, we're NOT talking about Photoshop, we are talking about Paint Shop
Pro! Paint Shop Pro CAN'T do sparkles w/o a plug-in, which you PROBABLY
HAVE to purchase. The Gimp does it ALL for FREE!
I can make ANYTHING sparkle, NOT just TEXT!
And furthermore, a lot of these BORING Mini-Tuts that Jackie is DISHING

If you are so unhappy with PSP why not move on to Gimp, Photoshop or

As for other software, with each version of PSP many of those other apps
have come off my machine. Maybe with PSP 8 I'll be completely happy, but I
doubt it. If and when PSP no longer fills a need, it too shall come off of
my system as quickly as any other unused application. I have no particular
loyalty to any company and rarely recommend products. However you won't see
me beating a dead horse about its short comings as I voice them to Jasc
directly and find a work around method.
You are correct that PSP has short comings in many areas, on that we can
agree. Now as for my specifics, not yours, since I don't have your needs.
Frames I've never used them in my work, completely unimportant/useless to
me. I did however make some based on requests I received from other users.
Sparkles are again useless and not a worth while feature like page curl and
frames to me. I rarely do photo editing so I also don't need the majority of
the photo editing tools in PSP 7. I do however understand why they are
included and are a high priority for most users that don't have my needs in
an application.
PSP will handle most of my basic printing needs, however when it is
important I use professionals to do my printing (poster size printers are a
little too expensive for me). I find most of the effects plugins/filters or
what ever they are called in PSP useless/junk period. If you are going to
build a page curl, bevel or lighting filter at least make it as good as what
is available else where or spend the development on another real
improvement. I don't want nor need web page code writing, I have better
applications to do that with. I find that PSP 7 is extremely slow in some
areas and chocks on very large images (windows problem really).
The painting engine is now too slow for really effective painting, hence I
use painter 6 (soon to be Painter 7). In addition brushes need some serious
attention, including angle and size changing as well as a better method of
organizing them. The clone tool though good in its day needs to add more
features (ala PS 7). Tubes I do find a great tool and a lot more powerful
than most users will ever know. You will see hell freeze over before I ever
make a tube of a teddy bear.
I don't really see much need for enlargements since I use PSP for the web
which means downsizing. If I need to do serious printing I open Photoshop,
serious logos Corel Draw or Illustrator (though I would like PSP 8 to have
more vector capability), 3D, I open 3D Max, Lightwave or Simply 3D, and I
don't want 3D capability in PSP.
For serious painting I open Painter period. If I want something fast and
easy for the web I open PSP. It is also simply the best at handling plugins
which will even add many of the features you complain about missing. Which
by the way are missing in the high priced spread as well, hence the plugins.
For most users PSP fills their needs to be creative, fix and print snapshot
of their family, make buttons and logos for their web pages. It is also very
inexpensive by comparison to many other applications out there that have the
same capability.
Comparing a 2 year old application to one that is a month old isn't a far
comparison. Some features such as your photo image information wasn't
available at the time of writing of the older application. Now that should
be easy to understand by most, but not others it seems. Beside it will
probably be in the next version, under my list of useless features, but then
I'll never need it nor miss it.
I wouldn't use Word to publish a company news paper but would use Publisher
or some other dedicated publishing program. I really don't believe in the
one app fits all mindset, and don't like it when they try, as they usually
screw it up. Corel is a living example of this mindset of all in one
thinking. Would you try to kill ants with an elephant gun, I think not.
Ranting about PSP short comings based on your needs isn't going to make it
happen for you any more than it would work for me. You want improvement,
post what you want to see done and wait for the next version, as no company
will spend time to add feature to an existing program. No one forced you to
purchase PSP and you sure had plenty of time to evaluate the application for
free before you bought it. It isn't like you bought a pig in a poke now is
it.
Disrupting this group with ranting about how bad JASC products are, isn't
going to get you much. Most of those with the power to make changes won't
even read your suggestions, as they have probably just turned you off by
now. Perhaps if as much time and energy was spent finding better ways to
complete your work rather than just bitching about a program's short comings
you would get more accomplished. This is all my opinion on the subject and
you are entitled to your own. It is obvious to me based on what you have
written you just want to piss and moan about JASC, so be it knock yourself
out.

Au contraire, I think it is quite likely that your suggestions

I used to feel they were superflous, until I had to develop a website for a
client who produces framed floral bouquets. Now the client has a number of
frames to choose from (created by me in PSP) which are interchangeable with
images of different floral arrangements.
This means my client can show her customers how different frames suit
different floral arrangements, by looking at the results on-screen in PSP
PSP provided a solution unavailble from any other Image editor!!
See the site I refer to if you wish ... here's are URLs to the frames

The only thing I rarely use them for is a rubber stamp, though they are good
for that too. A good example of great rubber stamps are the Jungle series of
tubes. Want to paint a perfect tree or add grass to a screen, just learn
some basics of psp layers, tubes and go to it. It sure does come as close to
giving one talent they don't have as can be done. I even saw, much to my
amazement, some recent posts in the Photoshop group, by some of their most
ardent users, discussing the idea of tubes and how they wished PS had them.
Really a remarkable tool when you get off the teddy bears and cartoon ducks.

Oh, geez, now you're having one of your hissy fits, AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
Go ahead, Joey. Show me HOW FAST you CAN produce a beautiful sky or
precise GRIDS in your Heaven sent Paint Shop Pro, like I can in The
Gimp!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ONLY REASON YOU enjoy PSP is because it accepts your PLUG-INS!
Without THEM, it and YOU can't do a heck of A LOT!
Why would I care how long it takes for me to paint a sky, I'm not in a
hurry? Well if you are really interested which I doubt, on average it takes
me several hours to paint one sky. Now that might be a long time for you
however it isn't for me. This is how I like to spend my time which shouldn't
concern you. But you did ask..
Making a grid is so easy in PSP that it is a waste to even download a free
plug-in to do it. I'm embarrassed for you using grids and sparkles as
example of where PSP is lacking. God if that is what your dislikes have come
down too then take your hero's advise and hire an artist to do your
graphics. Perhaps he will give you a special rate, but don't bet on it.

Hey Joe,
You know, MS Photodraw has that capability. It uses something like
PSP tubes I suppose. It lets you draw lines like rope, chain, bamboo,
telephone handsets with the cords, etc. etc., as vector.
If PSP could do that, I bet it wouldn't take long to come up with a hair
setting.
You can do text in vector with those fills also
The artistic lines and the text tools are the only thing I like about
the program though.
(Hey Kris, maybe that something to be added?)

Whistles and bells don't make good quality artwork nor commercial work in
themselves. The best work in these areas is always that which shows the hand
of the maker, the human imagination.
Look at videoclips, listen to pop music: it's not the technology which
speaks to us most. It's how our mind puts it to good use. Your quickly
produced sky would look dead to me.

If a flaw/weakness/shortcoming is pointed out as existing in a piece of
software, the source of the information, or how the information is
presented, shouldn't really be of concern. First, verify that this
flaw/weakness/shortcoming does indeed exist; and, if it does, then rectify
the situation. But perhaps not flame the messenger just because the

You can do vectors with pattern fill in PSP now.

I wish we could use a selection as tube in much the same way that
current selections and images can be used as Patterns.
I also wish that single cell tubes were treated as a special case.
Consider the Pointing Hands tube (with Placement mode: Continuous
and Selection mode: Angular.) The image in the first cell is rotated
by a fixed increment in each of the remaining 35 cells. Creating
such a tube is a rather tedious affair. I'd much rather create
a single cell tube and set Placement mode: Continuous, Selection
mode: Rotational and Rotation Steps:36. (The last two parameters
would of course be limited to single cell tubes.)

Nope, anyone can say anything. Not everyone can ensure what

make other judgments too. Then maybe it's a suggestion for
a future version of PSP. You should not assume I will
somehow always find the most stupid way to deal with an
issue. If it seems like I'm doing something stupid, check
for a misperception on your part.

You make the assumption I don't filter posts. I do filter
posts from time wasters. Maybe they have good suggestions,
I don't know, because I never see them. There is no messenger
bearing bad news to me. These are turned away before they
even ring the doorbell. They aren't turned away because I
can't deal with bad news - plenty of people offer criticism
and I listen carefully. (I recall you had some a while back.)
They have turned off their access to me by their behavior
and the choices they have made. I just don't have time to
extract bad news (or good) from piles of manure and hose it
off to look at it. Bear in mind that I could leave this
group for good and still get useful input from customers
about flaws in the product or things that work well. There
is nothing magic about some self-selected group of posters
or lurkers. They are not uniquely representative of customers.
I answer their questions, though, because they are customers
or potential customers. On balance that's worthwhile for me,
but I streamline the process to exclude the irrelevant.

This is *exactly* what I'm writing about, Kris. You are effectively turning
away criticism, not because of its validity, but because of its source.
As you yourself have just written, perhaps you should back off from this

Kris is a private citizen, just like you or me. Is there some law that
requires him to work 24 hours a day and be available and totally submissive
to a complete moron? I think not. The moron's wasting our time, and Kris's
time, and I wholeheartedly support Kris kf'ing him. Not once has the moron
offered up any valuable information that isn't recycled from other posters.

I'm sure his intention is not to alienate you, but that's for him to say.
He sure as heck will sell more products by ignoring the moron, than catering

Oh and I didn't attack PS just used it for an example, as you have

I know it is, Joe!!!!!! You're just not good enough to learn HOW to use
it. You had to seek something that's more on your intelligence level,
like PSP!
And EVERYONE knows Adobe has MANY applications which ARE USED by

Come on, Joe!!!! You couldn't get ANY other operating system to work for

YOU CAN'T!
I used The Gimp for about 2 hours so far and discovered it's LOADED with

How do you know what thought process I apply? I'm getting
a bit irked by repeatedly being taken for a fool. Do you
really think, for instance, that none of your suggestions
occurred to anyone at Jasc until you mentioned them? Your
comments just got recorded as another "yes" vote. Nobody
outside Jasc knows how that election will come out.

You're participating in a thread that, at the time of writing,
is composed of 30% posts from trolls, which I haven't read. You
seem to be telling me that I should waste my time reading
trollery. That's not the way to best use my limited spare time

The Gimp is a sweet little tool in its developing stages. And your sky still

Thanks, Joe. I must admit that I found it tough designing the gradients;
they kept changing to colors other than the ones I thought I was using. I
like the point-to-point vector tool for drawing and tracing because it's so
easy to adjust what you have done in Node Edit.

The light it sheds for me is that the Vectors and Gradients are both
difficult and confusing to use. Sorry to butt in, but I couldn't help

Ha Ha Ha!!!!!! I saw your three (3) creations and they look pretty good.
However, my clouds look more realistic than yours do :-) Lay a SUN on

May I ask HOW you created the clouds? I assume with a cloud Picture
Tube.

Me too. But there's a lot more under the hood there than one would suspect.

My compliments for openly agreeing on the fact that PSP and a moderately
talented and interested user can indeed do this. They do indeed look pretty
good.

I hope you don't think I just whipped that up in a few minutes to
demonstrate the point. I did it to learn how to use those tools. A lot of
it was trial-and-error, but in the end, I learned something.
Using pattern fill with the vector tool is simple, but getting the
gradients right did take a lot of experimentation.
Just to give you some idea of how I did this, these are the separate layers
(34) that I used:
sea, sunrise, fence, low sky, lower mid-sky, middle sky, upper sky, lower
tower, upper tower, window, top window line, middle window line, bottom
window line, right window linw, left window line, house, grass, shrubbery,
undertop, supports1, support2, side top, light, light line 1, light line 2,
light line 3, light line 4, light line 5, light line 6, light line 7, light
top, light line upper, light line lower, railing, light beam.
If you are a really good artist, then maybe you could do this from scratch,
but for most people I suspect that tracing the outline from a photograph
(this case) or from a sketch that has been scanned will prove easiest.

Kris, I understand what you are saying but it is not quite what I was
talking about.
I posted an example in alt.binaries.paint-shop-pro with the subject
header of "Vector Lines in MS Photopaint".
Create line, add fill (texture or photo realistic art), add shadow, then
you can still make adjusts on the fly if it is still quite not the right
shape or size.
I could be wrong, but if someone can tell me how to do this in one easy
step then I would be eternally grateful. Really.
That is why I brought it up as a 'wish' for PSP. Because it is a b--ch
to export clearly from that program.
Thank for your time Kris!
Danny
Click on object with Vector Selection tool, right-click, choose Properties
and edit thusly. You can also node edit to adjust the shape. You can't
add a drop shadow that is fully editable, but you can use Select from Vector
Object to add a drop shadow on the fly, and if it isn't right, delete and
add again after you edit the object.
That is true, they look pretty good, but I can do better!
I'll be back soon! :-)

Well, you can't actually do it in one step in MS PhotoDraw,
so why insist on one step in PSP? :) Select the object and
edit it (change shape, rotate, node edit, etc.) or change
it's properties, such as fill and stroke. That's all you need
to do in PSP. Take a look at the Help for vector stuff. It
is true, however, that PSP does not support raster effects
on vectors in a direct way.

Those are excellent! I especially like the Eagle/Indian theme in Gallery 3.
Good job.

Gallery 2 are just studies of various methods of doing things and as such
are not complete in most cases or not much though give to the rest after
what I wanted to learn was completed. The wave with the moon is a good
example. Painted the wave and water then used Universe, Lunar Cell to finish
it off. These as also done using PSP, Painter and Photoshop sometimes on the
same image. This is also why it might look off to you. The image named
Balinda is a portrait of my late daughter done when she was 18 and is a
large acrylic hanging on my wall. She died September 13, 2001 at age 31. I
had taken a photograph of the painting to send to her on her 30 birthday and
posted it as a memorial for her after her death. As such it was never meant
to be in the gallery on this site. It was added in error. but I've never
mentioned it till now as these people seemed to want my painting bad enough
to post them. I was very content never to post another painting again.
Gallery 3 are composites, as clearly stated. Spirits has 2 indians which are
photographs, the eagle hand painted with the rest generated by Terragen. All
landscapes on this page are done using Terragen as stated with a little hand
painting done in some. The sea scape water is hand painted as are the birds
the rest is terragen. These where all eventually supposed to be for a
Terragen gallery, though I completely lost interest in putting up a Terragen
site.
