Paint Shop Pro :: Working With CMYK Files?

May 11, 2013

I am having an issue as follows.

a) I have postscript (.ps) files for my company's logo which are in process color (CMYK).

b) These files open fine in PSP, and the colors are displayed properly. However, I understand that the files were actually converted to sRGB space, that is, I can't actually make changes in CMYK space, only in sRGB.

c) I need to make some changes to the logo, so I figured I would make the changes, then save a TIF file, using the CMYK space. My printer requires a CMYK file only.

d) Therefore, I simply saved the file opened in b) as a TIF file with a CMYK color space.

d) When I do the Save As in PSP, the file looks exactly like it did when first opened in PSP. (Update - if I close the TIF file in PSP, then reopen it, it does look different - greenish tinge, but not as bad as other viewers) But when I look at the file in other programs (IrfanView, MS Publisher, etc) the image is overly green, for example, my olive green logo components are almost bright green, and almost everything else seems to have a slightly greenish tint.

e) By comparison, if I open the postscript file in Irfanview, it renders correctly.

I thought Irfanview would input CMYK files (and apparently it does for .ps files) but my colors are wrong. Is this a TIF output issue with PSP? Or do I need to find another viewer to properly see the TIF file.

Paint Shop Pro :: CMYK - EPS File For Quark

Sep 11, 2011

I have PaintShop Photo Pro X3 running on Windows 7 x64. I have created artwork for an ad that I am purchasing in a trade publication. The contact person at the magazine tells me that they need my artwork in CMYK format and in a file type of eps. They need the CMYK format in one file as opposed to being broken out into separate channels. They are using Quark software. How I can get my artwork into the format that Quark needs?

Paint Shop Pro :: File Not Transferable To CMYK By Website

Apr 12, 2012

I'm using Paintshop Pro X4 to create images. As these Images are for printing, I need JPG and CMYK. Therefore I use a Internet page called rgb2cmyk.org

But as I upload my files, the dpi is set up from 300 to soething unbelivable high. The Pixel stay the same and so the image gets verry small. If I save them with the old Paintshop Pro 8 I do still have on my Computer, it works perfectly.

So I think, the new Paintshopversion does save a watermark or anything similar on the file and the website can't work with that. How can I fix that??

If i take a look with XN View the Colours looks good. Same problems with JPG in CMYK (MS Paint shows correct colors, PaintShop wrong).

Paint Shop Pro :: CMYK JPEGs Display With Wrong Colours?

Jul 20, 2011

I use PSP X3 for web image editing and am sometimes sent jpeg files which are in CMYK format. Unfortunately PSP does not display the colours in these files correctly. Yellow will display as brown, pale blue as turquoise and pink as purple for example.

If I open the same file in almost any other programme, including the humble "Paint", the colours display fine and my workaround up until now has been to open in another programme, copy the picture to the clip board and then paste it into PSP as a new image. The colours are then fine but it greatly increases my work time, especially when I have many images to process.

Surely there must be a way to get these images to display correctly. It has nothing to do with monitor or gamma adjustment otherwise they would display incorrectly in all other programmes also.

Maybe it is a bug or just something that Corel have overlooked. RGB jpegs display fine, the problem only occurs with CMYK images.

Paint Shop Pro :: KPT Plugins Not Working?

Jul 25, 2011

Yesterday I purchased Paint Shop Pro, downloaded it along with the extras -- KPT Collection, Magic Bullet, Win Zip, etc. -- all of which I was able to load/run, but the KPT Collection of effects/filters are not available. The filters are listed under plugins on the menu, but they are not highlighted and therefore can't be accessed.

Is there something I'm missing in trying to use the KPTs or something else that needs to be done to activate them? I did a search here on the forum, but didn't see anything that related to this problem.

Paint Shop Pro :: MVs Plugins Not Working In X6?

Sep 1, 2013

I have used MV's Plugins for years. They worked fine in X4, started to not work on a layer in X5, but if I flattened the layer, no problem. In X6 none work, I get an error message. I have the latest versions as far as I am aware.

I then pointed the new Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 9 to the same folder (in this case Contrast Mask) to see if it works there. No problem. Ergo: what's happened to X6 to give these errors. MV'sPlugins_not_working-X6.jpg

Paint Shop Pro :: X4 Has Stopped Working?

Sep 12, 2011

I had been using X3 for quite a while, on this ancient machine... yet today, I downloaded X4 to see how much of a difference getting that program would be.

Installation went fine.

Program started up, asked me to put in my email address for registration confirmation.. no problem.

Loading screen: Paintshop Pro X4 has stopped working. I cannot get the program to load at all. All pre-required software and updates installed.

Here's a quick screen:

X3 still runs without issue, though I am also curious as to why that program weighs in at a 1.37GB total, and X4 is only 340MB? What's missing in X4 that takes up 1GB in X3?

Paint Shop Pro :: X3 Has Stopped Working - Error

Nov 29, 2011

repeat error each and every time I use any adjustment on graphics, photos or anything I am working on with PSP X3. Am including a screen shot, edited down to the forum specifics, and I had to edit the screen capture with PSP X2 since to reload PSP X3 will now require my restarting my computer.

I have used Paint Shop Pro since it's very first incarnation as a tiny program courtesy of the folks with Jasc, so this is not my first time using the product, just the absolute worst experience doing so.

No matter what the image, file type, or set-up, when I try to make adjustments (even if I make sure to stop and make double sure they are finished processing), eventually the program locks up and I get the error shown and stated.

Paint Shop Pro :: Auto-Preserve Not Working

Sep 8, 2011

I have been using PSP since jasc released version 4. I was a long time user of 7, 9 and then X2.

Beginning with X3 and now X4 the Auto-Preserve function does not work. I especially miss this feature when running batch process. This is my primary reason fro skipping over X3 waiting for X4.

The function works fine in x2, but it never did in the trials of X3 or now the trial of X4. The feature is enabled. I selected "Yes, do this every time" the first edit I preformed. Verified in preferences as well.

Paint Shop Pro :: X4 Auto Save Not Working?

Jan 11, 2012

In earlier versions I was given the option of enabling the Auto Save feature, and choosing the time intervals between saves. I chose every 2 minutes. If it crashed or was shut down in a reboot, the images on which I was working were recovered with their layers intact. Nothing was lost. I do not have that option in Version X4.

Nothing is ever saved with Version X4

Paint Shop Pro :: Script Working Fine With X4 / X5 But Not With X6

Oct 8, 2013

I'm in trouble with PSPSX6.

I have an script running fine with my old PSP (X4, X5). But in X6 the result in not good.

I use the script to insert the date on upper right corner of my pitcures. This data is found in Exif of the picture.

I use an fucntion returning the date, but with X6 , the result it not correct.

The source code is
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

def FormatDate( InputExif, Format ):
''' Use the time.strftime method to format a date string in various ways.
The input exif date is always formatted as yyyy:mm:dd hh:mm:ss, so the first
step is to convert that to a time tuple. We do that by changing the one lone
space to a colon, then using split to give us a tuple that coincidentally
matches the one used by time.

Paint Shop Pro :: X5 In Win 7U Stops Working When Merge Down Layer

Jun 17, 2013

PSP X5 version 15.2.0.12 -- no further update available. -- Windows 7 Ultimate SP1

When I try to merge down (not flatten) the top layer in the attached file, PSP X5 stops working EVERY TIME. I have been using PSP X5 extensively for a while (6 or 8 months) and have never encountered this before. All layers are 100% opaque, so this is not the same as a similar reported error. Also happens in PSP X4. I can work around this by cutting and pasting, but shouldn't have to.

Paint Shop Pro :: X3 Stopped Working / Freezes PC On Uninstall

Jul 10, 2013

I have been using PSP x3 for awhile with no issues, but about a month ago, it simply stopped working. I open the program via shortcut, and the logo blinks onscreen, but the program never opens. No explanation, no trace.

I have attempted to uninstall and re-install, but each attempt to uninstall completely freezes the PC dead and I end up having to physically turn the PC off. I'm detecting no infection on the PC.

Paint Shop Pro :: Custom Fonts Just Stopped Working All Together

Dec 13, 2012

Just today, while making graphics and such, my custom fonts just stopped working all together. Every single one that I have installed just shows up as nothing and is un-selectable when using it. The one in particular that i was using is Bebas Neue. Although all installed fonts are not working either.This happened out of the blue and I don't remember hitting anything or changing anything. Just typing with the font and it refused to show.

Steps Taken:
1. Reset All Preferences
2. Shift Key Trick on Load Up
3. Restarting the Computer
4. Reinstalling PSP X2
5. Using the font in other programs - Which they WORK (Word, GIMP, Adobe Illustrator, etc.)
6. Uninstalling/Reinstalling the Font itself.

Paint Shop Pro :: Eraser Tool Not Working Correctly X5?

Since I first upgraded from PSP X3, 5 months ago the eraser tool has worked great. But just in the last week I have been having problems with it not working correctly. It seems like it is faded and not erasing like it should. The hardness IS raised up to 100 but still no luck. The background eraser is working great, it is only the eraser tool that is acting up. Here is a screen capture of what it is doing.

Paint Shop Pro :: X4 - Stated RAW Support Not Working (Canon S100)

I tried dumping the Temp folder, but no joy. I tried calling Tech. Support and all I get is "Tech Support is not Available at this time." In the middle of the work day?! The About popup says I'm running Ver. 14.2.0.1. I'm not sure the update has taken.

Paint Shop Pro :: Flatten Layers Periodically While Working On Image

Sep 14, 2011

As a very long time user of Paint Shop (back to the early JASC days) and using the program primarily for producing bmp and jpg files with lots of graphics, an irritation in later versions has been the need to 'flatten' the layers periodically while working on an image. In past versions (don't remember how far past) one could set defaults such that you automatically worked in a single layer. I don't specifically remember how this was done (only that it could be done) and have not 'rediscovered' how to do it in my current X3 version and assume it will be the same in my (on order) X4. Is there a way to default into single layer work?

BTW: I strongly second the dislike of the graphite color scheme so certainly hope X4 gets 'fixed' to allow one to get rid of it.

I also note that after using the pop-up that appeared in X3 startup to order X4, my X3 became inoperable and had to reload it!
