We have a great Big Project planned for issue 2 of the magazine, that looks at making a scrapbook effect in PSPP. We’d love to hear from any of you who have made your own digital scrapbook – if you’d like to send them in to maybe be featured in the magazine, send an email to pspp@imagine-publishing.co.uk

Mariusz Nalecki takes this week’s Pic of the Week title with this beautiful vector illustration. I really like how it almost keeps some photographic qualities – especially around the eyes and lips – and subtle background makes the image really pop. Excellent work, Mariusz!

Thanks to those of you who have signed up at the site and started to share your images. It’s great to see how you are using PSPP! We are having a few hiccups with some of the links on the site, especially when it comes to linking to galleries, but we are sorting this out now. Normal service will be resumed shortly!

Today is not only the on sale date for issue 1 of the magazine, but it also marks the launch of this website! Register now and in a few minutes you’ll be able to set up your own gallery to showcase your PSPP creations. Maybe you have some photos you’d like to share or perhaps you have dabbled in some digital art. Whatever it is you have created, show it to the world! Once you’ve signed up you’ll be able to comment on other members’ images as well as leave ratings. And if you fancy a chat with other PSPP users, simply click on the forum link for friendly discussion. Use the Competition area to take part in our regular challenges and don’t forget to head over to the Subscriptions and Back Issues links to make sure you don’t miss out on the ONLY magazine dedicated to Paint Shop Pro Photo.
