Paint Shop Pro :: X7 - RAW Conversion Mechanism
Sep 9, 2013
I think it would be useful to start a new discussion thread as to what we feel about X6 Camera RAW Lab and (hopefully) it's replacement in the next PSP Version - X7.
Personally I need to say that I abandoned trying to use Camera RAW Lab and instead use Corel's AfterShot Pro ASP (or else Canon's Digital Photo Professional DPP). My stance is that Corel should aim to reproduce as much as possible of ASP within PSP. Fundamentally this means a new RAW Conversion mechanism for PSP.
In the meantime, I do RAW Conversion in ASP or DPP and then use the External Editor facility (Ctrl+E in ASP or Ctrl+B in DPP) to pass the image as a TIFF file that is automatically loaded into PSP.
From the RAW Conversion in ASP, I believe that we would want the following features in PSP:- Exposure Adjustment. This is essential and is something Howard Dickson has pointed out, together with Shadows & Highlights sliders. Highlight Recovery and Blacks. This is important to adjust for over/under-exposure and has to be done in RAW. RAW Noise adjustment including features comparable to Noise Ninja or whatever Corel plan to use.
At this stage, it is possible to use all the normal PSP Editing facilities on the resultant image.

I shoot with the Canon 40D. The Raw processor in PSPX4 is showing an anomaly when converting my 40D files raw files. When I initially load raw images, and when the image is displayed, it is shown at one setting. Then in 3 seconds, its updated again showing a 1 stop darker, desaturated and less sharper image. Each time I click on another image on the bottom column, same thing. The new image is displayed, then 3 seconds later the same thing happens. There is a noticable difference when I view the same photo in Canon DPP. The PSPX4 Raw File just looks terrible. This does not happen when I edit a JPEG that has already been converted.
How do I stop PSP4X Raw from doing the second update?

Whenever I open the batch conversion window a file always appears in the main file list window; I have to manually remove it (pressing clear) before using the browse button.

I would like to know why is abr conversion still restricted to 999px ? I have bought a lot of high res brushes and would love to be able to use them in PSP but 999px is just way too small.

I have a set of around 100 images which I need to edit for hue and saturation. All are similar. Can I batch convert these with PSP X3?

We have to animate a part of a really complex clock mechanism, and there are all kinds of gears inside the mechanism.we got all working beside this one.we really need thats all is working like in reality and we have alot of such sector gears thats only covering some degree with teeths.
Have a look at the attached pic... [URL] ....
so if the big one rotates 360 degree the little runs 360 also but only when the big ones hits the little one of course, if not it is still and waiting for the new round...

Just came upon an error I had not seen before. Though PSP no longer supports Animation Shop, up until PSP X4, the user has been able to export frames back to PSP from Animation Shop. Now, this no longer works! There's still some communication there, because an error message - which, incidentally, makes absolutely no sense at all - is generated in PSP X4:

I installed PSP X4 today on a new PC with Windows 7 and noticed that it has no Animation Shop. Can I install Animation Shop to this machine? Will it work without PSP 9 or does it need certain dlls from PSP 9 ? I really want to be able to use Animation Shop again.

I want to use the paint brush for editing a photo I have, but the only color available is black. No matter where I've looked in PSP, there was no option to change the color of the paint brush. I've read online that you need to change the pallet to material pallet, then go to "Foreground & Stroke Properties" and set the color box to the color I want, but the only colors I get are different hues of black and gray.
Even in Paint it's just a matter of clicking the desired color to use different colors. Why isn't it so simple in PSP?

Morphing space! I would like to do what other advanced programs do by assigning points to an image and then morph/transpose those points to another space with the same number of defined points.
As a very crude geometric example if I have a 5-pointed star and want to transpose those 5 defined points onto an ellipse with 5 similarly defined points, what might be your approach be to execute this function. How to create and application/extension pack, or write the code for such a function? Any method of steps to create this transition process? (See Two Accompanying JPEGS) .
A vastly more complex situation, but one that continually is used it graphic arts applications would be to morph or transpose the spacial dimensions of one image into those of a second image which is assigned the same set.

Ok, either I am totally loosing it, or it just ain't happening.
I cannot get the Nik HDR module to work with my PSP X5
It's installed, it shows up in my Effects menu, but it only imports one of the photos I have opened in my edit tab.
What am I missing??

Using PSPP X3 Ultimate.
I have some Tif files and jpeg files that are 600dpi and 400dpi. I scanned these images with my Canon CanoScan LiDE 700F scanner. Can i use my version of PSPP X3 Ultimate to change the dpi value? Is this stuck? I wanted to be able to get the 600 and 400 dpi image files (I have some 300dpi's too) down to the 100-250 range if I needed to. I see there are different export options and compression in PSPPX3Ultimate, but I'm not sure if this will do what I want.
I want to export as Tif and Jpeg again.
Are there any good third party photo and or video editors that I can batch edit this with? It's ok to mention pay programs and I'd prefer good quality freeware if there is such a thing. I am sure that my Corel program can do the trick though. I just don't know how and don't want to rescan multiple dpi's every single time. I only need the archives and then get the smaller dpi when needed.

I was using a trial version of paint shop pro x5 and still had 11 days left of my trial when it suddenly stopped working. When I click on the icon to start paint shop pro it starts up and then freezes every time when it is loading in the spot that says "initializing color swatches".
I haven't changed anything on my computer- it just suddenly stopped working. I uninstalled it and tried reinstalling it, I also tried restoring it.

I installed PaintShop Pro Ultimate X3 several months ago. It worked fine initially, but then stopped running and gave me an error message pertaining to a language error. In an effort to fix the problem, I have completely uninstalled the application and removed all of its registry entries. I then reinstalled the program, which appeared to be successful, however, now it simply will not run and gives no error message whatsoever. When you click the desktop icon, it tries to load momentarily, then does nothing more.
I have removed my virus protection and my User Account Control.

When I open a jpeg in X4 it always says it is at 72 dpi. Even when I resize it so it is at 220, when I open it again and look under image information it always says 72 dpi. If I open the same image in any other editor, including X3 it reports the correct dpi. This coupled with the extreme compression is making X4 useless to me unfortunately.
I'm not prepared to sit and do the math to try and figure out what it is really at.
I have reset the number under preferences/general program preferences/units and it doesn't respond to that either.
For me, this version is problematic and not worth taking the time to learn. I need to be able to depend on and trust the information I'm getting from my software.

I normally upgrade every other version. I currently use X2 on a Windows XP computer. My primary uses are photo editing. My key interests are:
- processing 16 bit per color files
- use of layers and blends
- stereo photography (combining and aligning stereo pairs)
- use of various tools such as cloning and healing.
- Color management and Printing
Reviewing the product page, I haven't really found anything that shows a list of upgraded or added features. Most of the things mentioned appear to be in X2 already. Looking at the thread calling for future features, it appears that the things missing are still missing. X2 is serving me well, but there has to be some reason to upgrade?

I have a trial version of PSP X6. I'd like to move and use my workspaces from X5. I've tried everything I can think to do: point to the X5 workspaces folders, copying the X5 workspaces to the X6 folder, adding the X5 folders in the File Locations Preferences, etc.

Using RAM Disk to speed up performance in Paintshop Pro? I like what I've seen so far except the program seems very slow. I have 32GB of RAM and have created a RAM Disk. I can manually copy images to the RAM disk, then work on them, then save them to the hard disk when done. Is there a way to make this automatic. I've set my temporary files to the RAM - trust this does not mess things up for Paintshop as those files disappear when I shut off the computer - but ain't that the intent of "temp" files. I'm going to try to set the Cache to this RAM as well.
Tried going to preferences and enabling the Scratch to my RAM disk (R:) but would not let me do that.

I am a beginner with PSP and would like to get some hints on the following two tasks:
- When I have two .JPG files, how can I form a PSPX3 picture with the contents of the two files arranged side-by-side which I can then store as a single .JPG file (this is the kind of picture I want to show at a presentation)
- When I have one .JPG file, how can I construct a PSPX3 picture that consists of the contents of this file (say, in the left half) plus a free space of the same size right adjacent to the loaded picture where I can add some text items?
Maybe even a suitable hint to where I find the steps to perform these tasks in the user manual (and how they are called in PSP terminology) would be a first step to find a solution (you need not copy the user manual!).

I need to put a title into a book which is not "face on". With the freehand selection tool I´ve found out that after using "pick" and pressing Ctrl I can play around with the text. However, I want to be able to use a parallelogram shape but haven´t got a clue how to arrive at it.
