The organizer has suddenly become unstable. When I try and open PSPX3, the organizer shows the spinning blue circle, and that just stays there forever. At the top of the program it says "not responding". I have to force the program closed. I've had PSPX3 for about six months, haven't had any problems before.
Is there something like a main thumbnail catalog file that can be deleted, so that that PXPX3 will rescan the hard drive. It acts like that catalog has become corrupt.
I haven't installed any patches in the last six months, and I can't tell you what version I have, because the program won't open.
Just purchased and downloaded the upgrade to X6. During install, the license information is presented, but after clicking the "agree" checkbox and slecting "NEXT", nothing happens. No error message, the NEXT button remains bold as if it has not been selected. Repeated download with same results with 2nd download. Turned off real-time virus checking, same result.CorelPainterLite (free with X6 upgrade) fails in the same manner.
Dell XPS-8500 with i7-3770 CPU, 12GB Ram, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 with Vista Home Premium with SP2. I have the new Paintshop Photo Pro X3. I attempted to install from the CD and the initial banner loads with the three installs (Painshop Photo Pro X3, Paintshop Photo Project Creator, and Painter Photo Essentials 4). Clicking on any of the 3 installs the Installation Wizard starts up with a progress bar and the text "Please wait". Then the progress bar disappears and nothing happens. The installation window is now just black with no text or options and only Cancel button shows. There is an inactive "Next" button. The installation process just stops or hangs.
I did install on my other PC loaded with Windows 7 and all the programs installed perfectly. I have attempted more than 10 times on the other machine with the same hanging results.
I've recently reinstalled Windows and PSP. In the organizer, the cataloging doesn't seem to be working - at least from a tag standpoint.
My photos have tags on them and windows explorer sees all the tags but the tag list that is in the organizer only sees ones that I update with existing tags or add new tags to them. It does not seem to catalog the existing tags on photos.
On the Manage page. Either in Thumbnail mode or Preview Mode I get no images.In Organiser at the bottom all I get is a row of light grey boxes with a X in it and the filename beneath but no picture.
I have associated all file types with PSP although that should not be necessary to get a thumbnail image as I tried the trial version before buying version X4 and it worked as expected.
Is there a tool missing from Organizer? A "create new folder" tool button?
Also when returning to organizer, the program doesn't remember where in the folder it was browsing and opens at the TOP of the list. Can Organizer stay running in the background? It can be slow on older machines. Good thing for fast RAM and CPU.
All my pictures are in folders by date, not by events...! How can I create virtual folders (like albums in PSP) to group photos from same occasion but from different folders?
It has to do with the organizer. I use my desktop for dropping photos too temporarily then delete them. My organizer is always left viewing that at the bottom of the X4 UI. When I delete those photos it still shows their placeholder when I hope X4 again and it freezes. As if its trying to find them and can't so it just stops. I can obviously work around that... somehow I'm sure. But anyway to stop it form doing that? ( I tested it by putting back all the photos it was trying to find. Opened right up without any hesitation.)
I use PSP X2 ultimate. I cannot find the palette mode organizer. I am having to use the document organizer which I do not like as well. I have tried the "View" tab and I have the organizer on and I have also switched to "Palette Organizer" but the only one that works is the "Document Organizer" I tried the Palette tab in the upper right corner and have it detonated to organizer and that doesn't work either. is my palette organizer gone?
I recently installed PaintShop Pro X6 and started playing with it. Somehow I ended up with a bunch of pictures in my Organizer Palette. (I don't know how.) How do I empty it? I opened some pictures after these initial ones were in there and they DIDN'T show up in the Organizer Palette.
While working with some photos taken this summer, I noticed a strange issue where Organizer is sorting pictures by Date (using Date Created/Oldest) and showing a few pictures at the top under the correct date section (for example July 19th 2011), but then breaks to a new date section indicating July 28th 2011, in which the rest of the pictures in the folder are displaying - even though these pictures are still all from July 19th.
I've attached a link to a screenshot to make it clearer to understand: [URL]
In Manage, when I drag photos to a Tab I created in my Organizer Palette it always opens that tab rather than staying on the screen where I'm browsing pics and choosing. Is there a way to make it stop jumping to that Tab when I drag something to it? X4.
I have found, that when setting up the Organizer in the Edit workspace, which then has a number of images displayed, if I close PSP, and remove an image using Windows Explorer in the folder that the Organizer had displayed, that when restarting PSP, it freezes immediately after loading.
As I have the Edit workspace set to open first, and because the Organizer was displayed when closed down, it tries to open it with the missing images displayed as gray boxes, and every option in the program locked.
Because it locks immediately, it doesn't allow any changes to fix this problem. The only way to close it is the windows task manager, End Process. So consequently, the only way to access the program is to either uninstall and re-install, or find the original image with the same file name and copy it back to that folder, so that it matches what PSP has displayed for that folder.
Not sure this is a bug, that PSP, when loading, doesn't recognize the changes within the folder it is displaying by the Organizer, or a problem that has a fix?
I generally have ½ a dozen graphics minimized in the full editor where they dock from the bottom left by default. When switching to the Organizer and back to Full Editor the minimized graphics have moved to a position relative to the top of the Organizer’s lower view panel. This generally leaves the minimized graphic’s behind the currently open graphic.
I see no way to lock the minimized graphics and the only work around is to manually dock them at the top of the Full Editor’s workspace, which is a time consuming hassle.
I've noticed a quirk in X3 Organizer space. With file tree open on the LEFT, and sub-folders open (or expanded), clicking an image thumbnail and dropping on a subfolder (to move it there) causes the sub-folder tree to close up. In order to browse the subfolders again, the user must click the + symbol to expand the subfolder tree. This happens every time. The subfolder tree structure should NOT roll-up after dropping an image on a subfolder.
The organizer in my PSPX5 U only shows video files, AVI, MOV, etc. I will not display JPG or other still image formats. I also have VideoStudio X5 U installed. I removed PSPX4 where the organizer worked properly. I cannot find a setting to disable or activate a file extension other than in the Preferences, where there is no mention of a video format.
I am using a Nikon D7000 and shooting in RAW format. Recently, I took some time exposures of Niagara Falls at night, to capture the colors and the lighting on the falls.
When I view the files in the media tray, everything looks alright. However, if I select a photograph to look at more closely, , some sort of automatic brightness adjustment is taking place which brightens my foreground and washes out the color on the main part of my image. This process changes the histogram of the photo. When I move to Express Lab or Full Editor and choose "Smart Photo Fix", and reset various settings to "Original", it doesn't bring the photo back to its original appearance, so clearly there are other settings that have been automatically adjusted as well.
I've looked into the Preferences menus, but can't find anything that will turn off this automatic adjustment process.
Is there a way to have the thumbnail display on the bottom of the Organizer screen use a vertical scroll bar on the far right instead of the horizontal scroll bar below? Or, can I enlarge the size of the thumbnail display area without enlarging the size of the thumbnails? (Which means, I suppose, being able to specify what size I want the thumbnails displayed.)
I have PhotoShop Elements 8 (boxed DVD) installed on a HP Elite desktop with Intel i-core 7 processor with Windows 7 - 64 bit operating system. The PSE 8 organizer will not load and hangs up. The editior, however, loads. Unistalled and reinstalled the software and the results are the same.
I downloaded the trial version of Paint Shop Pro X3 and I would like to purchase it but I'm having problems with the main reason I need it. I need to open CDR files (read only is fine) but when I try to do that the Corel Draw Graphics Import Filter opens and loads almost until the end but the file never opens.
I had to reinstall my win7.And my X3.Now when I right click on a downloaded tube in it's file the tube won't open in X3.I can only open it from within the workspace.
This was one of the ways I got tubes open.how I can set a preference somewhere so that I can use it this way again?
I have used PSPx7-X3 over the last several years, so I'm experienced at installing new versions.This change to PSPX4 has been giving me fits!
At the moment, only PSPX4 has been installed PLUS the 1st Service Patch.
PROBLEM:When I start, it hangs on the first start up screen with the photo of the girl and the words "Starting Up..."It won't go any further.
I have tried:
1. Uninstalling and re-installing.
2. Uninstalling, running the Corel PSPX4 Clean-Up Tool, and re-installing.
3. Holding "shift" while opening.
4. Running as administrator - although I'm the only user on this laptop. There are not other accounts BUT administrator.
5. I have tried removing the the Corel folder from the app data folders - both in local and in roaming.
Additional Info:I had NO problems with PSP (x3 before Christmas) until Dec. 22 when Windows ran an automatic update which caused HAVOC with my computer. In the next few days, I had to do several system restores and un-stalls of PSPX3 just to get it running to finish up Christmas gifts. I can't just NOT do the critical Windows updates - but I don't know if they are causing an issue with PSP.
I've been given a .cdr file to use. I can't open it in X4, but X3 opens it. Not sure if it's opening it correctly, but it's opening it. X4 just comes up with an "unsupported file type" error. Did Corel drop support for .cdr files in X4?
I have PSP x4 and recently I am getting no images found. The folder shows up in PSP but when I click on it, it says no images found. It is happening on all my recent downloaded images and a few random folders from a while back. It also is stuck on updating cache settings for about 3 minutes when I am opening the program, it started doing this and the folder issue at the same time.
This morning I was editing a photo with Paintshop x5. I rotated it; adjusted levels, and saved. Fine; then I went to resize it to make a smaller version for email. I suddently get a message from Windows (7) saying the program has stopped and that Windows will shut it down and there will be a message as to what might be the problem. Well, it shut it down; no message. Now I can't start up Paintshop x5; it stays open for a few seconds, then I get the same message.
Since it was working fine, I assume something got corrupted? Something I can remove? I am NOT looking forward to having to reinstall the program for no apparent reason.
I can't open files saved in X4 in v9. I couldn't figure out the text tool in X4 & saved the file so I could finish in v9 but v9 says it is not a valid PSP file. This is very frustrating since I need to be able to use v9 until I learn X4. Second, I have 64 bit version of Thumbnail view installed but it still doesn't allow me to see all of my PSP files in Windows Thumbnail view.
I have owned previous versions of Paint Shop Pro, but decided to upgrade again. I really like Paint Shop Pro X4, and it has worked for me in the past on this same machine (Windows 7 HP laptop).
For some reason PSPx4 will not open -- ever -- not at all. The cursor spins continuously. I need to end the program manually. I have installed Corel PSPx4 service pack 3 and this did not work. My computer is healthy.
I have not tried installing and reinstalling PSPx4 because I can't find my disc, but I'm still looking ( I moved recently and I think I misplaced it).
Why did it stop working all of a sudden? I have a bunch of photos to edi.
My Paintshop Pro X4 was working great, until I registered it today, then all hell broke loose. It crashes and also I cannot get the "Computer" tab to open, only the "Desktop" tab will work correctly. Tried restarting it, same results. I use Win XP Pro SP3 and computer does not have virus, nor malware. Hard drive is 500G. Graphics card is updated and more than adequate.
