Replacing Text in a Graphic

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

When you have an image that contains text, the text may or may not be all that readable - especially if you have resized the image from its original size. Provided that he text doesn’t overlap anything too complex in the image you should be able to remove hat current text and replace it with new easier to read text as this Paint Shop Pro tutorial illustrates.

If you have a copy of Paint Shop Pro then keeping all of the image folders on your computer properly organised will be a lot easier.

Creating a Thumbnail Image

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Another Paint Shop Pro tutorial, this one covers the best way to use Paint Shop Pro to create thumbnail versions of your images for inclusion in your web site (or anywhere else you need thumbnails for that matter). On rereading what I wrote in this tutorial I have realised that I have not necessarily been using the right option to create recent thumbnails and that I might have been able to create better quality thumbnails had I reread the tutorial earlier.

Capturing Screen Images

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

When you are writing about how to use computers the way I do you will frequently have situations where it is useful to provide an image of what the screen or part of the screen is supposed to look like so that people following your tutorial can see where the menu options are that you are telling them to select, what the effect of doing what you told them to do is supposed to look like and so on. Of course to be able to include these images in your tutorial you need to be able to capture the screen images in the first place.

In this tutorial I discuss how to use Paint Shop Pro to do screen captures of part or all of your screen. You can even use time delays to do screen captures of screen savers.

Graphics

Yet another area of the site that doesn’t get added to much is the Graphics section which has some information on PhotoShop and Paint Shop Pro as well as some more general information about graphics.

When I find the time I may consider adding a section on either Irfanview or the GIMP for people who prefer to use a free graphics editor.
