Jasc psp vs Corel psp

18 years ago

As you all probably know, Jasc PSP is now Corel PSP.

I was wondering if anyone has used both and can tell me the comparison.

I just lost Jasc PSP ver 8, when my hard drive failed. I mainly used it for photo editing.

I liked it because it had a lot of options, like re-sizing photos in inches, ability to change resolution, and it provided rulers.

Can anyone tell me if the Corel version is much different that Jasc where I can you resize in inches and see a ruler?

It would be nice if some of the free photo editing programs would provide those options, but I don't know of any. I've tried Irfanview and Picasa but didn't like them.

Maybe someone can suggest another program you like, not necessarily freeware.

you might ask at the forums for that product, it will have to be a version that is built to work with windows 7 64 bit or you will have problems. from some googling I did find this Paint Shop Pro x2 is fully compatible with Windows 7 64bit I also found this where someone has had success by using this method. http://thepluginsite.com/products/picopro/tutorials/makework.htm "The important part is this: If you are using a 64bit operating system, the 32bit system folder is located underC:\Windows\SysWow64\. Do not place Msvcrt10.dll, which is a 32bit file, in the System32 folder of 64bit operating systems like Vista&7 64bit, because this folder is only meant for 64bit files. Once I moved the .dll files to the SysWow64 folder instead my plugins started working in PSP 9. I am still in the process of installing and transfering all my PSP things but I know it worked for at least 6 of my plugins so far." you may want to look at this also in the list it does mention paint shop pro. Application Compatibility Update for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2: February 2010 read this info on this forum there are some that are having luck getting some older versions to run and discuss it.

OT - for Oceanna (graphics software)

Okay, I know I'm not Oceanna, but I saw this and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents, for what it's worth. I only do web/graphic design as a hobby, but I recently started doing digital scrapbooking as well, so I'm familiar with several graphics programs, though I do have to admit, I don't know about Artrage. The first program I started with was Paint Shop Pro, and learned to do a lot with it. Then I was finally able to get a copy of Photoshop 7, which I still have. I have upgraded my Paint Shop Pro to 9 (because, apparently, Jasc, the maker, sold to Corel, and it's changed a lot). I love bothing both. I find some things better in one program than in another, and vice versa. My first version of Paint Shop Pro was purchased for about 80 bucks. My newest version was like 40 (on eBay). You might be able to find it on eBay. Another option is PhotoShop Elements (PSE). It doesn't contain all the fancy stuff on the fullblown Photoshop, but still useful features. I know a lot of scanners and printers come with it nowadays (so you may not need to purchase it). Also, I don't know if PSE works with a Wacom. Anyway, thought I'd share. (Although, for the record, I would love a copy of CS, but I can dream..... ^_^)

???'s about PSP X..............

Finally a question I can answer. The program PSP was sold by Jasc to Corel, therefore a new name. Try opening PSPX, click on Toolbar and scroll to Tools and make sure there is a check there, to show the toolbar. All the tools should show up down the left side of the program including the drawing tool, which I believe is third from the bottom, and looks like a pen nib. There are drop down arrows beside some of the tools, click to see what they are. You must have an image open for the tools to be active. Hope this helps you - new versions are always a pain until you find your way around. Personally, I never quite make it before the next version comes out! Elaine

I did a little research on Corel PSP and apparently for people living outside of the U.S., the price is somewhat inflated. Therefore I cannot find the product in Canada.
I also read that it contained a few bugs.

Does anyone know of a comparison photo editing product that will give me the things I had in PSP?
As mentioned, I want to have:
-the choice of measurement units (pixes and inches),
-be able to select resolution when resizing,
-have the ability to view rulers in my Window

Judy have you ever visited Red Flag Deals? It is a Canadian site where all the younger population (and me) go to post and view the best prices. A valuable tool. 50% of the members are around the greater Toronto area.

You might consider advertising on the buy and sell forum there, you never know who has Paint Shop Pro and no longer need it.

I see Corel want $99 for version 12 yet Amazon.com has used copies of version 9 for $12.99 and up. However they do not ship to the Great White North yet they ship to many other countries.

You can download the free Gimp photo editing program. This is a full featured program but there is a learning curve - as there is with all higher end photo editing software. Or if your aims are more modest you could give Irfanview or Xnview a try. Both are free, both are very versatile. Be sure to grab the plugins if you download Irfanview

owbist-

Sorry to be so long in replying, but I've been away for a few days.

I'll look into Red Flag Deals and Gimp, as my sister needs something that's free. I had a look at Irfanview last year, but found it didn't give me I wanted.

I ended up biting the bullet and purchased Corel ULead. I downloaded the trial version onto my laptop and although it is quite overblown, I really like the options of measurement units and resizing it provided.
I wanted this program on my desktop so I purchased the CD for that. The lesson here for me was-buy the CD. If you lose your hard drive, you've lost your downloaded programs.

Thanks for the info.
