We’ll show you how to add your photos to the template, position and resize them to fit, and place them in the proper order in the Layers palette. You’ll also learn how to add your own text to mark special occasions like birthdays and holidays, and how to make advanced creative customizations.  \nFor this tutorial, we are using a Calendar with Notes template but techniques and tools can be applied to the free calendar template available to download above, or templates that you may have purchased from the Discovery Center store or PaintShop Pro New from Template catalog.  \nPart 1: The Basics  \n• Open your calendar template in PaintShop Pro.  \n• Make sure to open the Materials and Layers palettes if they aren’t already open by selecting Palettes > Materials and Palettes > Layers.  \nIf we look at the Layers palette, we can see that we have each month of the year as a different layer. Underneath that, we have an image mask area for adding your own custom image, and a variety of different seasonal backgrounds.  \nNOTE: not all calendar templates will include a selection of backgrounds. But further on we’ll show you how to add your own background if you wish.  \nHow to Select a Month  \n• In this example, the Visibility (eye) icon on the left side of the layer is toggled on for January.  \n• To select a different month, toggle the January layer off, and toggle the month of your choice on.  \nChoosing a Template Background  \nScroll down further in the Layers palette to the “4 Seasons Background” layer group. Here, we have many different seasonal backgrounds. Use the Visibility icon to toggle off the Spring background, and toggle on the background of your choice.  \nAt the top of the Layers palette is the Opacity slider. You can use this to adjust the opacity of each layer. In this particular template, there are varying levels of transparency for different backgrounds.  \nIf you find that the background is too dark, you can lower the Opacity level so that the text is more clearly visible over top of your selected background.  \nHow to Add Photos  \nThe beauty of these calendar templates is that you can showcase your favorite photos, whether you are creating a calendar for yourself or as a gift for someone else.  \nThere are a few different ways to bring your photos into the PaintShop Pro template:  \n1. Using the Organizer and Navigation Palettes  \n• Open the Organizer palette by going to Palettes > Organizer.  \n• Click the Show Navigation icon to open the Navigator.  \n• In the Navigator, locate the folder where you’ve saved your images.  \n• When you click on the folder, all the images in that folder will be displayed in the Organizer.  \n• In the Layers palette, select the image mask group.  \n• Now drag your photo from the Organizer directly into the Layers palette above the layer that says “Drag/place image above this layer”.  \n2. Using File > Open  \n• Go to File > Open or click on the Open icon and browse to the location where your photo is stored on your computer.  \n• Select the photo and click Open.  \n• When the photo is open in PaintShop Pro, go to Edit > Copy (or use Ctrl + C) .  \n• Switch to the calendar template and in the Layers palette, select the layer below the image mask.  \n• Go to Edit > Paste As New Layer (or use Ctrl + V) to paste in your photo.  \nNOTE: if your photo ends up in the wrong layer order in the Layers palette you can simply drag it up or down to the correct layer.  \n3. Using Drag and Drop  \n• In the Layers palette, select the layer below the image mask.  \n• Locate your photo on your computer and simply drag it right into the Layers palette.  \nOnce you have your photo placed in the calendar template you can use the Pick tool to resize and/or reposition it so it fits in the calendar nicely.  \nHow to Add Text  \nYou can use the Text tool to add any kind of text ","cbCaitDLH7m1ZhaQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitDLH7m1ZhaQ","pdf",1126680,"English","# Part 1: The Basics\n## How to Select a Month\n## Choosing a Template Background\n## How to Add Photos\n## How to Add Text\n# Saving and Printing your Calendar\n# Part 2: Advanced Creative Options\n## Changing the Color Scheme of a Template Background","[{\"question\":\"How do you switch between months in the calendar template?\",\"answer\":\"Use the Layers palette and toggle the visibility (eye) icons: turn off the current month layer (e.g., January) and toggle on the layer for the month you want.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the ways to add your own photos to the template?\",\"answer\":\"You can add photos using the Organizer and Navigation/Navigator, by using File \\u003e Open then copy/paste into the template, or by dragging and dropping directly into the Layers palette.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you add special-event text (like holidays or birthdays)?\",\"answer\":\"Select the appropriate layer in the Layers palette, activate the Text tool, click where the text should go, type the text, and apply settings on the Tool Options toolbar.
