Photo Editing Freebies from Creation Cassel and Scrapbook Campus
Photo Collage Template
This freebie consists of a layered template allowing space for 12 photos (one per month) to summarize the year 2021. Each photo spot is a mask group so you just have to pop the photo inside the group and adjust the placement and size. Add details as you want. Change the color of the digits (or replace them if you want to showcase a different year).
Masked Digits
Since masks have become the new daily accessory, why not have some masked digits? With these digits, you can write any year, or anniversary (celebrated during these challenging years) or even counting days, weeks, months, tests, etc.

Thank you for the downloads! I did notice unfortunately that some of the links don’t work, like the Christmas clipart, the snowflake brush, watercolor snowflake tube, the holiday letters and more. Is there any chance of fixing these links?
Hi Veronica,
Our apologies and thanks for letting us know! The links have been fixed, but please let us know if you have any problems with them.

Hi, I fell in love with the Christmas clip art from the Merry Christmas Photo Card. Is it possible to get it as a file with a transparent background? I would love to use them on all my Christmas cards. Or can I buy them?

I updated my PSP from 2018 to 2020 and then uninstalled 2020. With 2018 I had used the basic black picture frame to display my photos in various print sizes with a custom mat on my web site so people could see what they would look like framed. I went to do the same thing on 2020 and there is no longer a basic black frame. Is there any way to get that frame back that was on my 2018 version without reloading 2018 and copying the frames over to 2020?
Thanks,
John jwhaidephoto.com
Hi John,
Here are the frames “Black Torn” and “Thin Black”, hopefully one of these is what you are looking for. Download the zip file to your computer, extract the frame files from the zip file and save to C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\2020\Picture Frames. They should then show up in your list of picture frames in PaintShop Pro.
https://learn.corel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/PSPBlackFrames.zip
I no longer have 2020 installed on my computer so I can’t troubleshoot this myself. But there are a couple things you could try to get the missing content like picture frames that were not automatically included when you installed 2020.
1) Go to the Store/Get More section of the welcome book, select the Creative Content option in the Filter by list. If you scroll down to the bottom there should be some free content packs that you can install. 2) Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Corel\Corel PaintShop Pro 2020 Setup Files and double-click the file Autorun.exe. This will open a window where you can install any of the program components that you may not have installed when you installed 2020. Check the list of components and see if there is a creative pack or bonus pack to install.
Hope this helps!

Hello,
thank you for the nice freebies that Corel gives us weekly.
I have an info about the zip archive of the 4th freebie of October with the Halloween frame. This will not unzip and brings up the error message that it appears to be an invalid archive. I have tried several times with downloading and opening, but always with the same error message.
I hope this can be replaced. Thanks in advance.

I have been a very pleased and devoted user of PaintShop since before Jasc sold out to Corel many years ago. After upgrading to every version since, I now have the 2021 version, as I was lured in by the descriptions of the miracles that the the new AI tools could perform! Aha! I have been most disappointed to discover that those tools are so intelligent that they accomplish very little if any effect, and that is if they choose to work at all. I get better results with good old, less “intelligent” tools. The AIs are, however, very adept at freezing the program often for no apparent reason, always a treat! And now, we are barraged with tantalizing requests to upgrade to PSP 2022, with even more AI tools. It would seem to me, from a business and customer satisfaction point of view, that it would be wiser for Corel to quit turning out new editions that don’t work before they have fixed all the bugs in the previous ones that don’t work either. Silly Me! I have returned to using my 2020 version, which – while not perfect – is at least an improvement over later versions. And… I have taken a very solemn oath to purchase no further “Upgrades” from Corel. It is so sad to so often witness greed winning out over quality in today’s world.
I totally agree with everything posted
Thanks, Len. At least there are 2 of us!
As another long time user of PaintShop pro, I’d like to concur with Annette’s feedback and provide some specific examples. In previous versions of PaintShop Pro (e.g. 2020 and earlier), the JPEG Artifact Removal feature actually did something noticeable, and users had the option to choose various strengths (low/normal/high/max) and sharpening/crispness. Now that this feature has changed to an AI tool – it does nothing, and there are no options that would allow users to experiment with different settings that might yield better results. Because of this poor design decision on Corel’s part, I am forced to keep multiple versions of PaintShop Pro installed in order to keep using the older features that actually worked.
However, giving credit where it’s due, when Corel decided to add AI functionality to the Resize feature, the AI functionality was added an an OPTION, and users were able to choose a different resizing method if the AI features do not yield acceptable results. What Corel SHOULD have done for features like JPEG Artifact Removal was to make AI an option, as they did for the Resize feature, thereby allowing users to get the best results for their situations.
Lastly, I would like to echo Annette’s feedback once again that the most-frustrating part of the AI tools is that – for the most part – they lock up the PaintShop Pro application when in use. PaintShop Pro needs to do a MUCH better job of showing users what’s going on and allowing users to cancel operations. (FWIW – I’m using PaintShop Pro on a new machine with a blindingly fast video card that was built for gaming on a system with 12 CPU cores running at 3.2gHz; this system should have more than enough power to handle any processing, and it works great when rendering complex video jobs with other software, yet PaintShop Pro sill manages to lock up the application when using the AI tools, which is a VERY frustrating user experience.)
I agreed with the comments posted in this thread. And I want to add some others comments. There are others functionalities that Corel should add if they want to keep PSP as a competitive photo editor. PSP should allow for color spaces like Adobe RGB and Pro Photo RGB. They should add for non-destructive adjustment for several of the options under “Adjust menu”, like a non-destructive Gaussian blur. A few years ago PSP was on par with the best photo editors in the market. Please, stop making a new version every year with additions that do not work very well. Rethink your future and add functionalities that an amateur expects and functionalities that a more advance user or professional photographer expects. There is no need to bring a new version every year. Take your time and bring new versions that make us said: “Wow, this version have new options that are really wanted. Sure I am buying it.”

Hi
I’ve been using paint shop pro for so many years now. I’ve never had a mac computer and didn’t realise that PSP is not supported on it 🙁 i was so disappointed because i’m now having to find an alternative which is no good because it’s not PSP – and i don’t want to download windows just for PSP because it defeats the whole purpose of going to apple. Why are some of your programmes supported and PSP is not? There are so many people out there with this same problem. Is it ever going to be supported on mac?
Maree
Agree! I love the Mac but some software is not available for it. I run a virtual machine on the MAC which runs Windows 10 and all the software that I need to run Windows. P.S. The Mac runs Windows faster than Windows machines. Files are available on both machines. I use Videostudio and Paintshop Pro in that manner. The program I use to do that is Parallels.
Thank you Bill 🙂
I also run PSP in a Windows virtual machine on my Macbook Pro. I use Parallels which is a purchased program to do it but you can do it with BootCamp with comes with the Mac.
You may install the Windows Interface into your mac and after that using PaintShop Pro as you want.
There is the tutorial to do it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4seoZzDsit0
Yes, I just moved to an iPad and was also surprised…and disappointed the PSP isn’t available.
I’ll check out running Parallels. Thank you.
I wanted to say since I have been in lock down isolation for a year on a crime I never did My teacher Carole Cassel ScrapbookCampus for learning my paintshop 2020 and 2021 and Corel Discovery Center You.

I did call the suicid hot line one time but I dont think for sure I could of made it being alone like this over a year now without You 2 and my 3 kids droping off food for me. I have lots of health cond which make me a post child for cov death. Thank you and Thank you to my Teacher Cassel shes the BESt. ty https://scrapbookcampus.com/
I’ve been trying to contact official support, but I haven’t gotten any response at all, so I’ll ask here.
I would like to know more about what kind of scripts are included in the “14 scripts bundle” that can be found in the PSP2021/ULTI software by going to HOME→Store.
If anyone knows, please let me know.
Hi KoY,
The current offer with PaintShop Pro 2021 Ultimate includes a free Artistic Effects Script Bundle. You can find more information about the Artistic Effects scripts here: https://shop.learn.corel.com/products/artistic-effects-script-bundle.

how do I add more than one line of text to an image in ASP3
I have downloaded the freebies and unzipped the files. I wanted to use the Holiday Card Templates so I copied the files to the Corel/PSP2021/Print Templates folder in Documents and then selected Create and Create from Template in PSP2021Ult. Nothing shows up except the templates that I have to buy. I note that the so-called template unzipped as a *.pspimage file. Is there a special place to put these so-called print templates so they show up in PSP2021Ult?
Hello Ron,
Did you have PaintShop Pro open while copying in the templates? PaintShop only checks for new content on launch – once you are done adding content be sure to restart PaintShop if it is running so that you can use it.
Otherwise, it sounds like the default template folder may have changed! You can view the current file locations for all additional content in PaintShop Pro from the File > Preferences > File Locations window. This window not only lists current locations, it also gives options to add additional folders for PaintShop pro to scan for content and lets you move and remove file locations from here if needed as well.
Discovery Center Team
Hi Adam,
I have tried downloading the template and adding the file location as you specified but when I try to create a new card from “File>New from Template” the template is not displayed in the list of available templates. It only shows items that have been purchased and installed through the program. It seems that because the free templates are not “installed” by the program the only way to use them is to locate the template in windows file explorer and double click on the template.
Yes, this is correct. The only files you can access through the New from Template feature are those that have been purchased or downloaded from New from Template.
Best regards,
Discovery Center team
I have sownloaded several Cards and would like to know where to put them. I have also downloaded a template or two but have no idea where they should be located so I can use them .Please help.
Hello Mike,
Templates are stored in different folders by type, so it depends on what kind of template you are looking to save! Users can also change where these folders are, so the easiest way to check where your template folders are is to open PaintShop Pro and go to File > Preferences > File Locations. This shows the location of all your template folders, and also gives you the option to add new folders or change their locations if you prefer. Then, you can either navigate to the appropriate folder and copy in your templates, or you can add the folder where you already have them saved as an additional folder.
Either way, once you are done, restart PaintShop Pro to make sure your new templates show up – PaintShop Pro scans those folders’ contents on startup, and may not detect anything added after it is launched.
Discovery Center Team
Thanks you very much Adam, I will give it a whirl and see what happens
Merry Christmas,
Mike
Thanks very much for the holiday-themed freebies !!!
I downloaded the Winter Pulse Red script. I put the gradient file in C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\19.0\Gradients and the script file in C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\19.0\Scripts-Restricted. The script runs, but it uses the Aqua Hues gradient which is the first gradient found in C:\ProgramData\Corel\Corel PaintShop Pro 2019\Corel_06. Can anyone help me with this?
It look like that for example 2 out of 5 scripts are available for download.
Same problem applies to some other freebies too.
Could you check those because it is annoying that you find something, but it is not available after all.
Hi Mikko,
We’re very sorry about that and thanks for letting us know. The broken download links have been fixed so you should be able to access them know.
Thanks,

Oooops my query is missing a word ie; script file: I expect you have worked that one out so sorry!
I recently purchased wood frame scripts, and as with all scripts before I can’t seem to access them when I am under the impression I have zipped them to the correct they never appear in the script folder, please can anyone shed some light on this form I am using PSP 20 ultimate.
Did you follow the instructions in the README file? It should state which folder to place the files in.
I couldn’t figure it out, either. I didn’t have a README file so I just winged it. I don’t think I did it correctly.
Hi Susan,
The majority of scripts that you download should be placed in your Scripts-Restricted folder. The folder location is “C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\2021\Scripts-Restricted”, replacing YOURNAME with your user name and 2021 with whatever version of PaintShop Pro you are using.
Once you have downloaded and opened the zip folder, extract the script file to Scripts-Restricted folder.
Exceptions: Rarely, some scripts will need to be placed in your Scripts-Trusted folder. And some script downloads include other PaintShop Pro elements like picture tubes, shapes, gradients or textures, that are required for the script to run properly. In these cases, the zip file will include a README document that tells you where to place these elements.
I hope this helps, please let us know if you are still having difficulties.
Best regards,

Is there a video for “Tag Scripting”? I enjoy making tags but adding names one at a time is very time consuming! Looking for something easy!
Suggest you join the group eztaggin on groups.io They have a tag script (a few) and will help you with it.
I used PSP X8 for a long time but it has been even longer since I actually got to use PSP. I’ve not gotten a new laptop and decided I wanted to have fun with PSP again so I have downloaded the 2020 version. I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to get my filters to work in this new version. I can’t even find where I need to put them. I have a few that will work with the 32 Bit version if I can figure out how to get them in the right place.
Commenting on my own that I meant I have NOW gotten a new laptop.
Make sure you use the 32 bit version to use your filters like Eye Candy. They will not work in the 64 bit version.
I only use the 32 bit versions of PSP. Mostly use 18, have 19, tried 20 and didn’t see ANY advantages so sticking with 18/19
Almost all my plugins work with the 32 bit versions. I’ve had to use Plugin Lite to convert some 8bf’s but again, most all my 100’s of plugins work with 32 bit versions
Can you tell me about the Full, stand alone version? Is it a subscription or will it work forever unless I buy an upgrade? The Subscription price is higher than the past upgrade to stand alone versions.
Hello Cyborg,
Did you mean CorelDRAW? If you choose to purchase a license, the license is for a specific version of the program and does not expire. Subscriptions entitle you to a license of the most current version of CorelDRAW as long as your subscription is active.
Hope this helps,

Hi, I use PSP 2020, edit photos changing backgrounds etc, but I need tubes rope stitching etc, can someone tell me the site can I find these freebies? I anticipate my thanks, I am new here,
Did you download all the Creative Content supplies? You might find some in there.
For stitches, some of the different lines might work for you. Cass has some really nice tubes to make rope and decorative strings. Most of these are for sale, but are very reasonably priced. A google search may give you some sites to check out.
can any body suggest me how i can export x avc from my time line any system requirements ? special?
I just bought 2021 paint shop pro. Ive been using version 9 forever so have a new learning curve. Can someone tell me how to get the original color pallette back like shows in the version 9 ? I hate having to go through so many different pallets for normal black/white/bright colors
Hi, Bonnie, maybe you have go to settings preference full color palette
no mac version, ugg
There is a workaround though, https://scrapbookcampus.com/2014/12/getting-paintshop-pro-up-and-running-on-your-mac/
GIMP is compliant with Mac, if you want to embark on the road less travelled…
First I want to thank you for the freebie as well as the wonderful photo editing program you offer. I check every week and download the freebies even if I can not use some of them at the time. I was a little disappointed in this weeks. After I downloaded it I discovered it is the same pack that was offered in July last year. (Week 2: Summer Clipart Mini-pack )
I am used to using Paintshop Pro 4 but, having had to move onwards to Windows 10, is has been necessary to ditch that version. I am using the trial version of the 2020. On line instructions appear to suggest that there should be colour pallets available plus numerous other things like there used to be in PSP 4. But there also seems to be no way of accessing these in the trial version, so how can you evaluate it before purchase??
Is it therefore ‘safe’ to purchase the full copy?
Thanks!
Hello Edwin,
What workspace are you in? If you are in the Essentials workspace or another task-oriented workspace, some tools may not be displayed. To switch workspaces, use the File > Workspace setting. The Complete Workspace will show all tools and settings available in PaintShop Pro.
As for purchasing a full copy, the trial version has everything included in a base installation of PaintShop Pro. If you would like to purchase a copy to continue testing it after your trial, we also offer a 30-day money back guarantee on our purchases.

Is there a way to get all the creative content from past versions? I recently got the “fuzzy” picture tube from a friend that was from a earlier version. Also just got “neon green” and “neon pink”. I would LOVE to add past content to my current version.

Are there any Xmas banners I could use on my blog?
I downloaded the PSP2020 Ultimate Black Friday offering with all the extras. PSPHolidayMixedTemplates was included. Is there a regular PSP2020 folder where to place all these different templates or do I leave them in C:\Users\ron_s\Downloads\Corel\PSP2020Ult_BlkFri\PSPHolidayMixedTemplates where I extracted them?
Hi Ron,
The location for those folders varies slightly depending on the version of PaintShop Pro you have installed. You can find the default folders for templates, frames, tubes, and other content at C:\Users\(username)\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\21.0
If you have PSP X9 for example, that final folder name would be 19.0 rather than 21.0.
Hope this helps!
I copied what was labeled as templates (at least the folder name was templates) from C:\Users\ron_s\Downloads\Corel\PSP2020Ult_BlkFri\PSPHolidayMixedTemplates where I had extracted them to C:\Users\ron_s\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\2019\Print Templates and C:\Users\ron_s\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\2020\Print Templates and tried to create a project using a template in PSP2020(64-bit). None of the items I had copied showed up as a template I could open. All the files in C:\Users\ron_s\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\2019\Print Templates have a pspimage extension. What kind of extension do templates have?
Did you ever find out where they are because I’m having the same problem? Any help would be appreciated
I just bought PSP but I can’t see how I set the frames in the list on PSP so I can directly put a frame on a photo. This also with the picturestamp.
Hello Carin,
While there are many different ways to add and use frames, a common and simple way to add a photo frame is to copy the frame to an upper layer on the same image, or to open the photo frame as a new image and copy your photo to a lower layer. You can then position and resize the image or frame as needed.
Hope this helps!
Discovery Center Team
Hi Carin,
Many of our free photo frame downloads include a .PSPFRAME file format. If you place this file into the Picture Frames folder it will be available in the picture frame library when you go to Image > Picture Frame.
The file location to save these files to is C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\2020\Picture Frames.
Best regards,
The Discovery Center team
every time i get to the documents part of saving ,theres never anything else there to click on
If you open the frame in Paint Shop Pro, go to file>export>picture frame. Then when you want to frame a picture go to Image>picture frame and your frames will show for you to select one. There are options on how the frame will work like matted, etc. If your photo has the same proportions as inside your frame, you can select the inside of the frame with the magic wand, add a new layer or not, your preference, and paste your copied picture into the selection. If you have added a layer, it can be moved under the frame layer. The frame layer is then still a single entity to which you can add drop shadows or whatever effects you chose.
I have found it best for me to set up folders with the same names as PSP on an external hard drive. I have a main folder called PSP Components. When you set up your preferences, you can choose where to save your files and where your file locations are so the program knows where to find them. Having them on an external hard drive saves a lot of room on your computer over time collecting tubes, frames, etc.
Are there any Christmas photo frames available?
Hi Marilyn,
Our Christmas freebies will be posted on this page on Friday and there will be a couple frames available. We also have all our frames on sale now for Black Friday https://shop.learn.corel.com/collections/templates-printables/photo-frames-overlays
Best regards,

Thanks. I downloaded some Christmas stuff some free and some paid. Thanks.
Marilyn, we just added a few new photo frames 🙂
Thanks. i didn’t notice this until today.
Thank you. I do a lot of Facebook posts for events at my church, and we don’t have the resources to spend money on expensive clip art. Having some fresh pieces of art to dress up our fall pumpkin patch and pet adoption was a nice treat.
I appreciate seeing the different freebies. I have employed some and enjoyed the results. Thank you, Corel.
I really enjoy visiting the Corel Discovery Center to check out other users creative works in the galleries and to see what the current freebie of the week has to offer. And It’s cool that we can come back even if we missed one of the previous weeks freebies and still download it to use in our projects. It’s a great place for inspiration and to share our creativity with others too.
Thanks, team!
