How do you deselect after you make the selection & flood fill with white ?
Hi Bev,
To deselect, use Ctrl + D or under the Selections menu choose Select None.
Hope this helps!

The rain effect is great. I found a small problem after spreading the white square with the noise across the photo. When I deleted the white part, the ‘rain’ was showing but it left he original quarter of the photo that was white. I then found there was a layer that needed to be unclicked to hide it. That wasn’t mentioned in the video, but it’s not a major problem. I appreciate your expertise, Carole.
The rain is great, but how to you make it snow?
Hi David,
If you want to add a snow effect, follow the steps in the tutorial up until the point where you add a motion blur (about 3:20 into the video). To make it look like snow instead of rain, you can reduce the strength of the motion blur to around 10-15% instead of 100%. You can also try out some of the other options under Adjust > Blur to see which look you prefer. I had some nice results using Gaussian blur and Average blur. Another thing I did was to duplicate my “snow” raster layer, then use the Pick tool to resize the new snow layer to be much larger than my photo. This gave me some larger “snowflakes” mixed with smaller ones.
Hope this helps! Let us know how it turns out and we would love to see it posted in our user gallery.

can you make a tutorial on overlays with pictures or guide me to one…thanks much…
We would suggest starting with our Working with Layers tutorial. You can use layers to accomplish just about anything in photo editing, image overlays included!
Hope this helps,

Can your PSP 2018 application Gold text for a script type font?
Are there any tutorials on creating Gold text?
I have an old version of PSP PhotoX2 that I used to create a product catalog. It worked just fine.
Hello Robert,
There are a number of ways to create a gold text effect! The simplest would be to create a quick golden texture (or search one online), and then use the Text Cutter tool to quickly apply it to your text. We have a tutorial on the Text Cutter to get you started!

Enjoy the tutorials very much. Since I’m new, and/or don’t remember very well, could you say where you are selecting with each mouse click? If you move over a field and click, tell what is happening slow enough for the viewers to catch up. Sometimes the mouse goes so fast, it’s hard to see what was selected.
Might see the Corel Pinnacle Studio video training by Maliek. His videos are excellent. He identifies everything he does and each video is not too long.
Thanks for making videos available for us who don’t like to read the manual…
Thanks very much for your feedback Richard and glad to hear you are enjoying the tutorials. We will keep your suggestions in mind when recording new tutorials.
This is a nice tutorial, but how do you make it snow?
Great Tutorial and effect. Cassel is such a brilliant teacher and she makes things so much easier to achieve with the clear instructions she provides.
but how about the river effect after rain fall..?
