Paint Shop Pro instead of Photoshop
I am much more comfortable using Paint Shop Pro. Is there a way to get Encore CS3 to open Paint Shop Pro instead of Photoshop to edit menus, etc.?
Graeme,
Thanks for that info. Not having PSP, I had no experience to share with the OP.
I *guessed* that there might be problems, but really just did not know.
One thing I've been meaning to do is see how close Painter's PSD's come. I've used it for doing work on my backgrounds, but have never tried to do more with it. I just do the work, bring that image into PS and go from there. Matter of fact, I do not know how Painter handles bringing in a PSD with Button Layer Sets. It might muck them all up, though it (now) does a pretty good job with Importing PSDs. Was not always the case back with Painter 3 - 5.
Appreciated,
Hunt

Color Shift using Paint Shop Pro files in Photoshop
I'm TRYING to move over into Photoshop after a happy ten years with Paint Shop Pro. I was doing fairly well finding equivalent tools and techniques in PS until I hit a brick wall. If I work on a file in PS the colors will shift and no longer blend into an existing PSP design. What's happening here and how do I compensate?
Hi Linda,
As Chris says, Photoshop is a color managed application. One approach is
to grab on and ride the bear, which means learn about color management.
For example, you can assign your monitor profile to your Photoshop images,
and the colors will match your existing images in PSP and on the web.
Another approach is to turn Photoshop's color management off in Color
Settings (ctrl-shift-K to open the Color Settings dialog, then select
"Color Management Off" in the settings drop down list at the top of the
dialog.
This will make your colors match those in PSP, after which you can learn
about color management if and when you have the time. -
Photoshop menu locations for Paint Shop Pro users
I am new to Photoshop after using Paint Shop Pro for many years. I am having trouble find things in Photoshop that I would have expected to be somewhat basic.
For example; If I wanted to view the palette, in Paint Shop Pro, I would simply click on “View” then “Palette”. In Photoshop, I cannot seem to find the command or menu that would show this to me. The help system is equally useless in the it will tell me everything I want to know about the palette, except where it is hidden.
Another example of drawing a circle around an object in a photo. I can easily draw a filled circle to blot out the image, but just try to draw an empty circle around an item to highlight it. It just does not seem to be possible.
I am looking for some type of basic instructions that I can use to look up where the basic features of Photoshop are, and how to use them. Does anyone know if such a reference exists?Hi there
I'm not familiar with Paint Shop Pro - when you say palette, do you mean the Tool Menu? (shown below) You can access the workspace setup by going to the Window menu in Photoshop. Here, you can select which palette menus are visible, or organize your workspace according to what you mainly use Photoshop for. (If you are indeed looking for the Tool Menu, you can hide or show it by going to Window > Tools)
For drawing a circle, use the Elipse Tool (by default, this tool is located under the Rectangle Tool - just click and hold to select the Elipse Tool). With the Elipse Tool selected, you can change the fill color, stroke color/weight, or even change the stroke to a dashed line using the Elipse Tool setting bar, shown below.
Quick tip: hold down Shift when dragging your circle to make a perfect circle. This applies to many shape-based functions of Photoshop including crop and selection tools. You can also use this when scaling objects to keep their original proportions.
There are a lot of great resources for learning Photoshop. Below I've listed several for you to check out. And never underestimate the power of a quick Google search when you're looking for help on a specific tool or menu!

Encore Menus editing in Corels Paint Shop Pro X
I do not have Adobe Photoshop, rather for years I have been
using Corels Paint Shop Pro.
When I right click on the Menu it does bring up Paint Shop Pro with the menu in Paint Shop.
I can make some alterations but not all on Buttons. Has anyone had experience with this?Does PaintShop Pro fully support the Adobe PS PSD format? If not, there is not much that you can do. If it does, you will have to explore the limitations. I just do not know that program.
First thing that I would do is open one of the Encore Library Menus in PaintShop Pro, and see how it handles that .PSD file. Also, make careful notes of the naming and Layer Set conventions for your Buttons.
Good luck, and please report on how well, or otherwise, that PaintShop Pro works with .PSD's.

Aperture vs photo shop vs paint shop pro(
I'm a new Mac user..... on my PC I've used both Photoshop (harder to use) and Paint Shop Pro easier but still a lot of options). I'm not a professional photographer but I take a lot of pictures and enjoy enhancing them.... more then just taking the red eye out or slightly adjusting the colors. So I'm looking for some photo manipulation software that is deeper then just fixing your photos but not quite as complicated as Photo Shop is. Is Aperture the way I want to go?
Does anyone have any suggestions for me or reviews I can read?
Thanks, SusanHi Susan. I'm an experienced Photoshop user, but I'm using Aperture 2.0 for more and more of my post-processing of images that do not require masking. My workflow using Aperture for whole-image adjustments is faster and, with 65,000+ photos, the savings in hard drive space vs Photoshop will be huge.
I'm learning Aperture bass ackwards, in the sense that I've been drawn into its image processing abilities before learning how to use it for managing my collection.
Be aware that Aperture really hammers your hardware, especially the video card. Download the trial version to see if it will work well with your computer system. -
Ich hätte mal gern ein paar rein subjektive Meinungen bzw. Ansichten zu dem Thema. Ich möchte keine Verweise auf irgendwelche Testpublikationen sondern Meinungen oder Auffassunegn von Leuten die beide Programme mehr oder weniger kennen, und deren Meinung würde mich mal sehr interessieren. Ein paar Bekannte sagen zu mir immer, warum nimmst Du nich' Paint Shop Pro 9? Das ist so schön einfach und kann auch wenigstens alles das, was auch PSE 3.0 kann. Was sag' ich denen denn? Tun eigentlich beide Programme das Gleiche, nur anders? Oder ist, wenn ich so auf meinen "Bauch" höre, PSE 3.0 doch der bessere Weg ("Königsweg")? Und wenn ja - warum? Bin ja mal sehr auf die Antworten gespannt! KW
Photoshop Elements bietet professionelle Bildbearbeitung vereinfacht an. Der große Vorteil ist vor allem, dass er das selbe Dateiformat wie sein großer Bruder Photoshop CS teilt. Dadurch können die Bilder ohne Probleme auch zu Profis weitergereicht werden - im nativen Format. Das Dateiformat unterstützt auch die aktuellsten Standards wie XMP-Metadaten oder das Camera-RAW.
Eigentlich wird PSE für den Leistungsumfang zu billig hergegeben, sicher weil am Markt viele Low-Price-Anbieter da sind und Nichtfachleute hier nicht die Spreu vom Weizen trennen können.
Außerdem kann PSE auf viele Programmversionen Geschichte zurückblicken, auch wenn es schon zweimal den Namen wechselte. Dadurch täuscht die niedrige Versionsnummer. -
Problem with installing Paint shop Pro photo X2 on with Vista
Trying to install Paint shop photo x2 on my note book but at the end of the installation it freezes and there seems to be some problem with "registering"...
Corel (supplier of paint shop) now advised me to change some drivers but the links I received are for XP or lower versions.
Is there anybody who had the same problem and find the solution?
i have tried already several things (like shutting down norton, msconfig changes etc)....
Thanks for your help!Hi
I have noticed that not all programs and applications are compatible and support the Vista OS. Did you check if this program supports Vista?
I think this should be clarified firstly.
I would recommend contacting the Paint shop Pro manufacture for the troubleshooting.
Good luck -

Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9/Jasc Animation Studio 3 Issues
I have switched from a PC to a Mac not to long ago and I've been trying to install my Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9/Jasc Animation Studio 3 on my Mac. I have had no success. Does anyone know what I should do (other than get a new software)? Is there a place to get it converted or somewhere where I can at least legally download the Jasc Animation Studio 3?
In addition, IE doesn't handle margin: 0 auto; on divs very well. So you have to also add "text-align: center" on the body element, which will center align all elements for IE, then "text-align: left;" on the #wrapper. (It will left justify all elements within the centered wrapper.)
Here's a very trimmed example. Notice that I also put a border on the "wrap" div, this can be removed.

Hi All
I have used Paint Shop Pro on my old PC to 'touch up' backgrounds etc and would like to do this on my mac. At the moment I do the work on the PC then memory stick it but it is time consuming and I am sure there must be similar available I just do not know how or where to find it? Any suggestions?

Printing Problem with Pro-100 and Photoshop
This is my setup: using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6. I have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up OK. First thing printed was a page from a document from MS Word on 8.5X11 plain paper - this came out OK. Next I fire up Photoshop and open a 4X6 inch image (just a snapshot in jpeg, landscape format) to do a test print. I set it up in the print dialog as 4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop manages the color. I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print.
Now, when it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and it starts printing on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out. It does this in Photoshop (any image, it doesn't matter), and it does it printing from Nikon’s Capture NX. I have been able to get it to print on the paper correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good. I was on the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either. I want to be able to print from Photoshop. I have the most recent Canon driver, and Photoshop is up to date. Any one every heard of this or experienced the same problem? I don’t think I’ve overlooked anything. Thanks JMDavis!Hi JMDavis,
