Paint Shop Pro :: Unwanted Update Screen
Jun 24, 2012
I downloaded and installed Service Pack 2 for X4 some time ago. It created havoc with my highly customized workspace and I reverted to the System Restore point set before installing SP2. So, no SP2 on my system.
Corel Guide>Settings>Messages, both messages UN-ticked.
Clicked on Check for updates using the Corel Guide and also under Help>Check for updates, to see what happens.
Nothing happens, they just stop running I then close X4 and (quite a while later, usually when doing something else) a screen appears "An important update is available for PSPX4 Download update now!

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.

I can open PSP X4 and edit and process images as desired. My workspace opens to Edit, as I've located that menu selection. I do not have any saved workspace configurations/files. Based on what I've read in the few hundred messages so far, I'd like to avoid a full reset of the program defaults, but if that's the only option, so it goes.
What is happening is that in as-yet undetermined situations, I get an automatic load of an old image. I've been able to recognize that the image that happens to load is the first one in the tray on the Manage tab. I don't use the Manage tab at all and only ventured over there as part of the preliminary diagnostic process to posting this message. Once I discovered that, I renamed the image in the tray and the sequence repeated with the next image in the tray, which repositioned itself to the first location.
I can "force" an auto-load in the edit window simply by starting with an empty edit window, clicking on the Manage tab and then back to the edit window. The first image in the tray magically appears. This magic also happens when I've closed another image that's been loaded. Of course, now that I'm posting this, I can't make it happen other than in the manner described above.
I'd like to have it so when I close the image in the edit window that I'm left with a blank edit window on a consistent basis. If I can determine how the image auto-loads in a manner different than described above, I'll add it here.

I just installed PSP X3 Ultimate on my second data drive on a new computer and it will not take the updates.It says you have to have PSP installed first because it's trying to install the update on my operating system drive and not the drive I have PSP installed on.What can I do?
Also where is that Corel uninstall tool as I can't get this mess uninstalled.

my prior editing program was Serif Photoplus x5 and ACDSee Pro 5 for management.I purchased PSPx4 to see if I could get photo editing and photo management in one program .I've been able to figure most things out but I have a problem with the following:
1. Tags: my keywords are embedded in the file but when I looks at PBP tags they only show a couple of photos. I did notice if I selected one of the photos it was added to the tag list. I even tried selecting more files (at one time) but no luck. So, my questions is, how do I update PSP tags?
2. explorer view: is it possible to select the parent folder and view the contents of the children folders?
3. in ACDSee you can select the parent folder and it give you a count of the keywords (beach = 50, lake = 30, etc.,) in all folders. Is this possible in PSPx4?

I have Corel PaintShop Pro X6 v 16.1.0.48, both 64 and 32 bit versions installed. When I click the check for updates in the help menu, I get 2 blank dialog boxes. I cancel out of the last one by clicking the red X in the upper right hand corner and I get a dialog box that asks me if I want to cancel.

when I close PSP X5 I get this blank white nag screen telling me I can get some free tips for being a better photographer and then in the middle there's a checkbox to tell it that I don't want it to appear no more so I tick it then click "close" nothing happens and clicking the red X doesn't do anything and I've checked process explorer and its linked to Corel PSP X5 for sure and to close it I have to kill the process every time.
Is this addressed in SP2 for X5? Or do I need to reinstall?

I have been using Paint Shop Pro for around fifteen years now and have always been very happy with each new version. I tended to upgrade every other version and have been using X2 for the last couple of years. With the recent announcement of Corel's service pack to fix some of the problems of X4, I decided to upgrade.
I uninstalled X2 and rebooted ready to install my shiny new copy of X4. All went well until I tried to start it up. The splash screen appears and starts to load up the components but every time it gets to "Initializing Palletes" it crashes and I get the "Paint Shop Pro has stopped working" and the options to close or go online and check for a solution!
I've tried uninstalling it, repairing the install, and also uninstalling it using the RevoUnInstaller as recommended by df but it didn't work. I also tried installing SP1 to see if it worked but didn't.
I can't even get this thing to start up at the moment. I need it for a few projects I'm working on and am beginning to wish I had left well alone!
I'm also dreading trying to re-install X2 as I can see that having problems if X4 has screwed up any deep-seated settings.

I've used PSP for many years and used the screen capture many a time. But I can't get it working fully on Windows 7 x64. I usually have it configured to use F10 to start the capture of an area. It was working a bit (but never with IE8) about 30 minutes ago but just isn't working at all now.

Is it possible to have more than one picture (preferably 2 or 4 and maximum 6) on a full screen at the same time. So that choosing which picture you want to keep is made easier. Now I increase zoom of thumbnails but this leaves a lot of unused space around them including the different tool bars.

I'm a longtime user of PSP 8 and just downloaded the trial version of PSP X5, thinking to buy it. With PSP 8, if I wanted to edit two images on the screen at the same time, I loaded them both into the program and then used the minimize button at the upper right hand of each image to switch them out of full-screen mode and put them next to each other. PSP X5 no longer has the minimize buttons attached to the images. I can tab back and forth from one image to the other, but I can't figure out how to put them both on the screen simultaneously. Is this feature still present somewhere in PSP X5? How do I access it?

When I open up an editing box. ie Local Tone Mapping, Adjust Brightness/contrast etc etc, the box that opens up is only partially on screen, you cant drag it into a different position because the top part where you click to drag is off screen, even if I semi minimise the window it is still off screen. Is there a way when these are opened to dock them to one side or to a permanent position. Windows 7 64bit - PSPP X3

I've been a PSP user since PSP 7.
I've got a question about x4. When I do multiple screen captures and then I click on the minimized x4 icon, it doesn't just open back to the workspace like it used to in psp 7. It always opens this pop up of all the captured files I took and I have to select one in order to re-open the minimized x4. It's so irritating because I go back n forth a lot taking screen caps but it always has to force me to choose a file.
If there is a setting to skip it and just re-open x4 to workspace when I click on the minimized icon after taking multiple screen caps?

Image with resolution larger than monitor size, view in PSP set to 1:1...Ctrl+Shft+A for full screen view.
PSP switches to full-screen with move (hand) tool present for moving around the image. However, when the move tool is used it behaves like the Esc key and defaults back to preview view within PSP.

I am not sure how this happened, but using PSPX3, when i need a new layer, the dialogue window is way to the top. The values and all are accessible but when i am doing live presentations or recording tutorials, this is an annoyance. It is so high that i cannot grab the top of the window and pull it down. It is only for that one dialogue window and only for that one PSP version.
I tried resetting the workspace to default, i tried reloading an old workspace, but that one stubborn dialogue window is still there on top.
I tried changing the screen resolution temporarily to see if i could "grab it" to move it back down, but it still is "ungrabbable".

Version 1.5.0.12 (the SP2 patch was installed). But I'm unable to figure out how to setup screen capture because that option is grayed out. I'm unable to complete Step 1 due to the latter issue. That is: File | Import | Screen Capture | Setup; I can never reach the fourth selection.

I just haven't found the setting, but I can't seem to make the cursor disappear during full screen preview in PSP x4! Is it something I'm not selecting?
I have searched to the ends of the internet for an answer, but have come up with nothing, however I noticed that there was an ESC key bug with full screen preview in PSP x3, and having a visible cursor would allow one to exit full screen without having to press a key. Could this be why the cursor is now visible? Now that I think about it, I've always been able to exit with either the ESC key or a mouse click. Still, this is something I've never seen before in any version of PSP.

After installing the latest fix/update/patch Paintshop Ultimate X6 crashes continuously. After startup it goes for a minute or so and then crashes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it without any change. I've emptied the temp directory.

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 am new to Corel PaintShop Pro X4, and am attempting to enter text into a template I found online. I was successful in entering the text, and when I try to print, the print preview shows a template full of text. However, when the page prints, only some of the text is there! The text that prints doesn't even seem to correspond with the layers. I tried to save the file as another type of image to print it (all text shows then with no problem), but it is not a very sharp image. I have searched the manual, but am not finding an answer. This is time sensitive

I have just installed PSP X3. I have 2 questions that I could not find answers to when searching the forum (though admittedly I found searching through here very confusing at times)
First the Service Packs. Do I need to install each on of these in chronological order? Or, will installing Service Pack 5 include all the prior service packs, so I only need to install that one alone?
Secondly, Screen Capture. I have clicked on Import/Screen Capture. However, Set Up and Start are grayed out and will not allow me to do it. On my old computer the prior version of PSP worked beautifully with screen captures and I never had to do any tweaking to make it work. What do I need to do in order to get Screen Capture functionality?
I'm not a pro at any of this by any stretch of the imagination. I'm a journalist and I use PSP for the pictures that are uploaded to my column. I need this screen capture capability in order to grab important pictures that I need on occasion.

I do a lot of screen captures mostly using Vdub to move frame by frame when I want a screencap. I don't get any problem with vdub but when I use other programs like MPC HC or sometimes even in WMP, the size dimensions sometimes gets captured with the image like this:
It gets quite annoying because I have to recapture the frame again and try different techniques to get it without the box or size dimensions showing up in the capture.I'm using Corel PSP x4 to do my screen captures. How to capture clearly without those box dimensions getting in the way?

I wish to report a bug that has been present in x4 and x5 regardless of SP or updates installed. Due to this bug I use X3 as it was the last version that worked for me.
The bug is that several menu buttons on the Edit screen will not display correctly, it is as if the icon is corrupted. This happens with the free trial version as well as with a registered version with updates installed.
See the attached screen shot as it explains this much better.
Computer Specs:
Win XP Pro w/SP3 32bit
ATI video 512M w/latest drivers
2G Ram
240G HDD
Intel 3.01Ghz CPU
X4 & X5 Button Display Bug

When I started to use the preview releases of AMD's Catalyst 11.10 drivers, PSP Photo X3 would hang every time on the splash screen with the "Initializing Command Manager..." text. I have to kill the "Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo.exe" process. I did a clean install of AMD Catalyst 11.9 drivers, and no problems again. At the time I though it a 11.10 preview behavior. Maybe something about being unsigned drivers (not WHQL/signed).
Well. Today 31oct2011 the AMD Catalyst 11.10 WHQL/signed drivers was released. No change, with 11.10 final X3 hangs on splash screen, back to 11.9 it works.
I know there might be other ways. Reinstall Windows, test out PSP X4, and probably more. But I'll run X3 on a virtual machine before I do a reinstall, would take me one week of work And from reading about X4, Corel have missed their target audience by a mile Why can't they understand that some of us, me at least, would pay full price for a major upgrade that did not give a single new feature. Just put all the work into tuning/bugfixing the ones already there. I'm serious about that angle.
Little more about my setup:
» Win7 Ultimate 64bit (SP1, patched up)
» AMD HD 6950 x2 (AMD Catalyst 11.10 WHQL drivers, with CAP 4)
» Corel PSP Photo X3 13.2.1.32 (Patch 5)
