PSP X3 is usually very stable but occasionally when I use the Preset Shape Tool to overlay an arrow onto my image, it freezes permanently. Waiting it out in the hope of self recovery doesn't work. I'm running X3 on a Windows 7 Ultimate Dell Studio 17 laptop, 32 bits, 4 GB RAM.
View 3 RepliesHow to create and use new preset shapes in PSP8.
For example, I opened a large arrow, changed its fill color, and followed the instructions to save it (using File > Export > Preset Shape) with the name My Yellow Arrow.
That appears in the small Presets window: But there's no sign of a big yellow arrow in the drop-down list:
(The program won't let me enlarge that window, or list the entries by name.)
Same with my empty circle, 'MyEmptyCircle#1'.
In Paintshop Pro X5 Is it possible to change the color of preset shape like arrows. Or is there another way to make arrows in different colors.

When I go to Custom Preset Shapes to test it, its not in there. I even copied it to other folders in psp.
Where can I find a preset shape of a ogee curve. It's sort of a slanted S. I've attached an image of one. Lacking a shape, how to draw one using PSP X5. I used autocad and converted the DWG to a JPG file.

Im using PSPX2
PSP X5 seems to have fewer default preset shapes than the previous versions.
I understand they are available for download from Corel. Where exactly can I find the preset shapes for download? I really miss some of the arrows, and would like to get them back...
Is it me, or is creating a Preset Shape weird in X5. Haven't made any for years, then attempted to make one in X5. It doesn't work (might be a severe senior moment), the is no sub-layer to name.
This is what the Layers Palette looks like when using a shape made in X2:
I've used every version of PSP since version 4 waaay back when and I'm now using X4. I do like it, however I still have preset shapes in .jsl format that I'd like to use in this new version.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI had hoped to go from CS4 to Paintshop Pro 4 to process my photos. PSP4 is not working as it should. I begin the edit, get almost through and PSP freezes. My pc has plenty of RAM and storage space. CS4 has never done this. I open up to 10 RAW files at once in CS4 with no problems. I have searched Corel and the web for a clue as to what is going on. I want to leave Adobe and am currently looking for a software replacement. I have used PSP in the past. I stopped using it with the X3 release due to the error messages it gave me and went with Adobe.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have lots of vector text objects to add to my graphics. When I add a vector text object by default "Stroke" is selected and the "Fill" color is set to the current background color selected in the Materials palette. Is there a way to change this so that by default "Stroke" is cleared and the fill color is always black regardless of the current background color selection?

The autorun window opens, but I can rarely make it past the licencing agreement, sometimes to the serial number entry, before everything comes to a complete standstill and I have to restart my computer.

I have Paint Shop Pro X5 installed with SP1 on a Windows 8 Enterprise machine. This is not a beta or developer preview of windows 8, it is the final product downloaded from Microsoft Volume Licensing (they do not post betas there).
The installation of X5 was smooth, and the program itself seems to load fine.The first time it ran, it detected an update needed (SP1) which I agreed and applied it.
Next time I ran the program, whenever I click on FILE/OPEN, it does not bring me the windows to browse thru my directories looking for a picture. It freezes completely at that moment until I kill the application with the task manager (as soon as I select OPEN, the program goes into NOT RESPONDING).If I right-click a picture on my disk and select OPEN WITH COREL PAINTSHOP PRO X5, the program works fine and I can work with that picture.
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.
I'm using X4 and tried Local Tone Mapping for the first time. Any time I try to use it the program freezes and I have to use Task Manager to close it and re-start. It does it on any image I've tried. does it only work on specific file types? Haven't had any other problems with the program.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to select an ellipse selection area around an oval shaped logo to create a mask or transparent background. I am trying to use the ellipse selection tool. When I use the ellipse selection tool, it makes an out of control shape that goes off the edges with a marquee and there is no way to adjust it. So then I created a selection shape using the vector shape tool, but I couldn't do anything with the selection after making it a raster object. I tried to flood fill background area...mouse pointer is there with bucket but nothing happens. Nothing seems very intuitive, clear or logical to me. you pick a shape and then use handles to adjust it to the actual shape is what seems intuitive, but that is just too easy.

When I tried to crop picture, I couldn't find option to crop through a rounded (circle) shape (just rectangle seems to be avalilable).
1) How to crop using rounded shape?
2) After crop rounded, how to save just the rounded picture? Its because when I use Photoscape (I come from this software) it crop rounded, but save with a white retangle background? So I just want the rounded picture
I can't seem to export more than 1 shape file in PSP X6. When I open a new 200x200 pixel vector file and use the pen tool to create a shape it will not save internally by PSP x6 under any name but "New Path" no matter what name I give the file or the vector layer name.
Whenever I export a second shape I get a pop-up window titled "Export Shape Library" that asks for a name for my new shape. When I enter a unique file name for my new shape I get another pop-up window titled "Duplicate shape names" with a listing of the supposed duplicate file(s). The only name showing though is "New Path". I have never named any of my shapes "New Path" nor named any of my vector layers "new Path" yet I always get this Duplicate shape names pop-up window containing "New Path" as the offending name to resolve.
Whenever I try to use the one shape I did save as "MyShape.PspShape" is shows up as "New Path" in the Preset Shapes listing. I accessed my only saved shape by selecting Preset shape tool/Preset shape then selecting the Shape list(from the tool options palette) and then select the Category "Preset Shapes" from the drop down. It shows up with the name "New Path".
Is there some setting I'm missing so "New Path" will not be the only name saved internally by PSP X6?
I've tried deleting all the files I've created in PSP X6 with the extension ".PspShape " and then restarted PSP X6 and I still am stuck with the "New Path" problem when I export a shape. The one shape I can export is saved on my hard drive with the unique name I gave it but PSP X6 still identifies the shape as being "New Path".
I am tracing a simple raster shape in a new vector layer and I want to know how I can remove a portion of the content from the center. Picture a shape like a letter "o" where there is shape data comprising the perimeter ring, and no shape data in the center. I trace the perimeter of the the shape making a solid eliptical-type shape, but I need to then remove a portion of the center of the shape so that only the ring of the O has vector data. How can I do this?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get to grips with the pen tool and I have a problem I cant get past. I create on object using the pen tool and then use the pick tool as I want to do a specific rotation buy a certain number of degrees. But I need to move the rotation point. I click on Ctrl and then the rotation point and move it to another location. Now if I want to rotate by hand or 15 degree increment then no problem.
But if I wish to rotate by say 20 degrees then I can only use the Image Free rotate but for some reason it rotates object by the center of the object and just ignores its new rotation point. I just cant see why?
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.
I watched a video, but next to the Lasso icon on the tool bar I don't see a square Selection Mode icon. Also, I don't see a green Apply button.
I was able to remove the object using the Carver tool. However, I had to reduce theTif file to 8 bits. I'm not sure what the difference is. (The photo is for publication in a magazine.)
BTW, when I go to the Corel help page, the top of the page is cut off so I can't get to the search box.
