Hi everyone I am reading this and awaiting an answer if we can get our own challenge set up and going where we can post our efforts and what we created with each other.
As most of you know I use PSPX, I unfortunately skipped 7 & 8, but used 3, 6 & 9. The good thing is PSP tutorials are easily transformed for use in other versions then which they were written for. The only thing that will be harder to do is a tut written for PSP 9 or X in PSP 7 & 8, as Both 9 & X have new and different setting for some of the tools.
But I think this would really fun and a good way to all become better aquainted with fellow PSP users!!
We can also incorporate this in with the "Ask the Expert PSP Chat" on this coming Sunday night at 10 Eastern. Using the term "expert" lightly here ok. I just know you girls are going to come up with questions that are going to make me go hhhmmm ! LOL
This is a open chat for everyone to attend and it would be a great place to discuss the challenge and using PSP. I am going to be cutting my Memorial Day activies short to be in chat and would love to have your company and not be sitting there all alone!!

Until then I thought of something that I personnally would like to see all PSP users do, CUSTOMIZE your WORKSPACE!! Make PSP work for you, make it yours!!
This one ability is probably one of the biggest work time savers there are while working with PSP is having your menus, Palettes and tool bars set to your needs!! This is the first thing I have done everytime I upgrade to a new PSP program.
Here is a screen shot of my workspace
Here is a link to a tut for Customizing PSPX, very close to what you have to do for other versions also.
Here is a link for PSP8 customization

It might take you a couple days to get used to your new workspace, but once you do you will never go back to the default locations of the tools.
You also can control the way the Main dropdown menu animation works, View>Customize>Menu Tab...Menu animations (I have None) selected and if you want your Menu Icons to show up in the menus click the little box.
It would be fun to see everyones workspace and to share a little why you like it the way you do!
Of course all of this would depend on which size montior you have and how much stuff you can have on your workspace!!
Ok done rambling!

OMGosh, it would take me WEEKS. I want to look into doing it, but it'll definitely slow me down at first!

I used PSP 5, 8 and now X, still can't get over the fact that upgrading to X I lost a lovely utility from 8: when you throw dice to have unusual colour effects. I had a few interesting photos thanks to it. Please, count me in, too

Me too. I use PSP9 and it seems that like there is not as much out there for PSP. I would love challenges/more tutorials for PSP.

No not yet, due to circumstances beyond my control on Sunday night I was not able to get home to my computer to make the chat. I didn't even have access to a computer to post any sort of a cancellation since I left my house on Friday, but I had planned on being there right up too just two hours before life went haywire!!
I am sorry to all that showed and I was so excited to start this and plan it that night in chat.
I have gotten permission from a few PSP tutorials writers and that we can use their tut's as guides. If any of you know of a tut you would like to do as a challenge let us know.
