Every time Corel comes up with a update, they change my default jpeg, bmp - all my pictures - to their new camera icon. How can I reset back to default settings? get Corel to stop this practice?

"Because of the limitations of the specified file format, the saved file will be limited to a merged image. Would you like to continue?"
I have been through the Preferences / Warnings & Auto Actions and can see no place to set it. I resolved it in PSPX2 but I can't remember how I did it. I have compared the 2 version's settings & can't see any difference.
I've created a script and bound it to an icon, then added the icon to the standard toolbar.
Everything works, but the script will (correctly) give an error message if it's run when no image is open.
The bound icon on the toolbar is always enabled, even if no image is open. Is there a way to have the icon disabled (grayed out) if no image is open?
How to stop X6 downloading the help file and the User Guide PDF from the internet every time that I want to view these from inside X6?
All these files are installed on my PC so why does X6 insist on conecting to the internet for them? I know that if I disconect from the internet (but why should I Corel?) the help files load off my hard drive but if I click on Help/User Guide (PDF) I get "File not found".
I can't seem to get my scanner to stop scanning documents in PS Pro...I have a letter I wanted to scan and email but it gets attached to the email as a Jpeg and opens only with PS. Not good for the reciever. How do I set up PS so it is not the default for scanned items?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to either add a Close All icon to the toolbars or keybind it? I can't find it in the list of menu items you can do that too. It only appears to show in the context menu when you right mouse click on a toolbar.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn PSP versions prior to X4, when you had the current image maximized within the interface you'd get a standard MDI Document Control Icon appearing at the left end of the Menu Bar. This is a feature common to the most Windows programs built in the default Multiple Document Interface style. The new custom style of X4 removes this.
It's a not a huge deal, but I'm pretty used to doubleclicking that little doodad to close my images, so I figured I'd try to get it back.
Here it is in X2 (on the left) and the little "@" symbol is the version I've recreated to work around its absence in X4 (on the right):
To do this, open any image, start recording a macro, close the image, Save the macro and call it "Close Current Image" or something like that.
Restart X4 because customization changes don't stick if you've had an image open this session. (long standing bug)
Right click the empty space in the middle of the Edit perspective. Choose Customize. Hit the Scripts tab. Find your macro in the dropdown, pick an icon and hit the Bind button. Your script now appears in the Bound Scripts part of the dialog.
Switch to the Commands tab. Select Bound Scripts. Drag your script to the left end of the Menu bar. Even though you've bound an image to it, the image doesn't show (another bug, I guess). Right click your new rather wordy looking "Close Current Image" menu entry and select "Button Appearance". At the bottom of the Button Appearance dialog you can change the text to something nice and short like "@" or "X" maybe. Hit OK, and you've got a convenient close image button that lives visually in about the same spot as similar icons in most MDI-based software.
Restart X4 after customizing and before starting any work otherwise the changes won't stick.
Clicking on the desktop icon provided by the install of Pspx4 has the splash image appear briefly then a 'not going to do it' message box followed by Win7 'there is a problem, progam is being closed' message box.Created my own shortcut from the Pspx4 exe and the same thing happened.Using the listing in the Start Menu 'All Programs' will start PspX4.
There is no problem exporting an image from Lightroom 4 to be opened in Pspx4. That happens without fault.I applied 'run as administrator' to the shortcut I created and now that will open the software as expected.
My lasso tool icon has disaapeared in PSPX4?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAssume I have to increase oftentimes but not always the brightness of digital photos by a certain value (e.g. 20). The contrast should be 0.Ok, I could go now (in PSP X2) to menu
Adjust--->Brightness and Contrast---->Brightness/Contrast
then manually adjust the values and click OK.However these multiple steps is somehow unhandy. Even if I put the Brightess/contrast icon into the toolbar I still have always to adjust the actual values.
I want to perform this operation by ONE click.Is there a way to put a customized icon into toolbar which (when clicked) performs always the brightness/contrast operation with my pre-defined values regardless which values are set up currently in the "normal" brightness/Contrast dialog?
if yes: How can I do it (in PSP X2)?
In previous versions through customize options there was the option to tick for large icons. It has been left out of X4 or is it there and I can't find it. That option was very good for big screens. Do they intend to bring it back in the update along with the colored icons.
View 9 Replies View RelatedPSPx6 64-bit runs fine on my computer, but a few weeks ago, the shortcut icon on my desktop (installed by installer program) "defaulted" to a generic-looking "document" icon that communicates nothing. The original icon with a camera and "64-bit" in it disappeared, and I can't figure out how to get it back. Deleting the generic desktop icon and re-creating a shortcut from program files/corel/corel paintshop pro x6 (64-bit) doesn't restore the original icon either. Sounds trivial, but a dumb-looking icon in the system tray (when I have a lot of work going on) doesn't work for me find PSPx6 when I have minimized it. Plus, I wonder if the missing icon isn't sign something else is "broken" as well? (diagnosis, PSPx6 32-bit is also on this laptop, as is PSP pro x3.)
View 3 Replies View RelatedEvery single time I move an image it filters, I have to copy the image to MSPaint and then copy it back to Paint.NET to make sure it isn't filtered, it's so annoying.
Is any way to stop the images from filtering?
So some of you may have used, are using or heard of the Fill from clipboard plugin. Is there any way that you can get it to change the size of the image within or stop it from being tiled? Tiled as in picture next to picture next to picture?

I take photo's of a particular car & then try to create the decals using the images in Corel. I clean up the images/photo's & when ready downsize the images to basically 1:64th size (matchbox car size) but the image blurs when I downsize & can't use the image.
Is it possible to make the program to stop rounding when I try to set the image size? I'm putting in a size that is like 4.569 and it rounds it to 4.57 and I don't want it to round it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an image of a map and want to create a number of individual images of that map each with a large white dot with a black edge (to highlight different cities).
I have created a separate image of the dot using both transparent background and normal background and then attempted to use EDIT>COPY the image of the dot and then EDIT>PASTE to the image of the map but no matter which PASTE option I use I cannot achieve what I want to.
Also (different problem) I lost my MATERIAL PALETTE. I noted that to restore it I could use VIEW>PALETTES and select MATERIALS but it was already selected. I also used the F6 key without success. I had to start PSP by pressing the SHIFT key when I started it to restore PSP to its defaults and then I could select and display it. So what stopped me from displaying it in the first place?
A client sent me four images taken with his Canon camera - they are in Canon Raw (.CR2) file format. I can't get them to open and then save them as a .jpg or a .pspimage format in either PSP9 or in X3. In X3, when I click on the pic, it brings up the "Canon RAW Lab" dialogue box, showing a black and white image but with a deep pinkish cast to it. And there is no options to save it. What do I do from here?

I have an image which was originally made up of two other images side by side. They are both of similar colours and content but the dividing line between them is quite obvious. I don't have the original PSP files in order to use the selection and layer method of feathering them, so what would be the best way to get the pixels to blend across the join? I thought there was a tool in PSP to do this but can't find anything.
I have learned how to remove a background and how to save the resulting image as a PNG.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 gif images. On image2 I have erased the background so as all you see is the checkerboerd.I want to place image2 (the visible part) on to image1.
I'm sure I have done all the correct procedures but the #2 image will show either a black or white background when pasted on to image 1.
These are the rules I followed. To make one image color transparent
1. Choose Image Palette Set Palette Transparency. If you are prompted to reduce the color depth and number of layers, click Yes to continue and then choose the options for decreasing color depth.
2. On the Set Palette Transparency dialog box, choose one of the following options:
• Set the transparency value to the current background color — makes the background color transparent
• Set the transparency value to a palette entry — specifies a color to be transparent. Click the color in the image, or click the color box to select from the current color picker. If you want to view the transparency, click Proof.
3. Click OK. The color is now transparent; however, it may still be displayed until you hide it.
I have 3 images which I am looking for the best treatment.
a) Dark hair: the woman has an dark hair which is almost blended with the background. What to do to bring more definition to hair and to “separate” it from background?
b) Face light: one side of the man face (and body) is with much brightness, blending with his white shirt yet. Is there any way do correct it?
c) Spot of light: in a slice of a landscape there is a spot with much clarity/brightness. I would prefer to bring more blue from the sky then light. On the other hand, maybe there is any way to take benefit of the light.
Why is it necessary to have an image open before using the "Paste as New Image" function.
I want to be able to copy an image from another program and paste in into PSP for editing. I can only do this if I first open a new or existing image in PSP before doing "Paste as a New Image".
I go-image-resize-resample-unncheck resize all layers-set new value via % (tried 400%)-lock aspect ratio in a jpeg image.but not much happens, I want to try and double the size, where am I going wrong?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have been using PSP since it was free shareware so I'm rather familiar with it. I just installed the PSP X4 14.1.05 When I open an image in the "edit" area and have the move tool chosen the image goes to "Fit image to Window" and both "Fit window to image" and "Fit Image and Window to Screen" are grayed out. I have tried the preferences and all else I can think of but can't get the window to fit to the image as it always has so I can be viewing several images at a time and working with them. I did try reinstalling. This is a Vista machine.

I'm having an issue with loading a photo into PSPx5. When I go to 'Open' and click on a thumbnail in a folder. Some/most times the thumbnail preview loads in a second or two. Then I can open the file. However every now and again I get a very long wait, 20-40 seconds, before the thumbnail loads. All files are approx 90 meg so it's not a file size issue. Just some thumbnails taking forever to load in the small preview window.
