I have used PSP since Version 3 on XP. They are now at yearly based numbers ver 2020. I seem to recall using ver. 9 was the 207 version and I had used it on Win 7 with no issues. When I updated my PC to Win 10, I loaded 2019 and now use 2020. Both 2019 and 2020 loaded on Win with no issues whatsoever. I have to wonder if V9 has a Win driver issue. Also, you don't say whether you're trying to load the 32 or 64 bit version.

Typically your town would have a hazmat disposal plan for garbage that is picked up ie used motor oils and such. Our town (rural) has a hazmat disposal day annually where you can take it and they will accept things like chemicals, paints, solvents, oils, etc. Another way is to phone a local Waste Management or Hazmat Disposal entity and see what it would cost to give it to them for proper disposal.

Just my thoughts.

I am a PSP user, perhaps advanced but would not exactly say pro. I love the program and am always learning more. I am using the 2020 Ultimate 64-bit version. I shoot Raw and the 2020 version reads the Cr3 Raw files from my EOS-R.

You can use virtually any PS plugin or even older Nik plugins with the 32 bit version (both versions are included in the purchase). I do find that I'm using more and more Topaz plugins with PSP, but the core PSP product is a great tool. I don't make much use of the Pic to Painter or the Particleshop plugin as I'm not much of an artist, but for the price and what it can do, IMHO PSP can't be beat. It mimics PS in so many ways I would think Adobe would be suing for infringement. If you can use PS, you can use PSP. I put it between Elements and the full PS.

There a ton of Youtube videos out there, Corel also does a tone of webinars. Just register your product. What do you want to know?

Not sure I agree, but each setup is admittedly different. I have 2020 Ultimate and use a wide variety of mostly Topaz but have other plugins. The way to associate them in is something bizarre, but I even use Topaz Studio (which can be used as a standalone) as a plugin.

I've also not had an issue with a complete edit workspace. They did give another workspace for beginners or other users, but you can shut this off in preferences. BTW, that's where you define where your plugins are. Just point to them in file locations. There are Youtube Videos showing how to do this.

Chg_Canon (as usual) gives sage advice.

My two cents as a hobbyist myself, don't leave Corel's Paintshop Pro off your trial list. To me it's a product that is seriously underrated. I believe it falls in between PS and Elements. It is able to use PS plugins and when warranted I use it with Topaz DeNoise AI, Adjust AI, Sharpen AI and Mask AI. It's available for a 30 day trial and a one time cost of $59-79 when they have their sales. I get the updates bi-annually on Good Friday weekend for $29. I'm not in favor of subscriptions, everything seems to be going there today and I understand all the arguments pro and con, but for me I want to buy software once and decide whether or not to update.

I've sold tons of things on ebay, Craig'slist and Facebook Marketplace. Cash in your hand is the only way to gauge a buyer. If you're the seller, it's your integrity that's being questioned. Only the tracking number helps assure you've sent something.

Regardless of who buys, you have to ship it. Take Youtube with a grain of salt, everyone's an expert there, you have to take a step back and ask if you'd be moved by some random video done at the Post Office. Who's going to watch it and how long are you going to waste making it? As Jerry mentions, I'd be awfully angry if you were wasting my time packing a box at the PO counter and other people, both customers and PO employees) will not appreciate being recorded in your personal video. In the end, the hassle of all that isn't worth it and you'd be better off selling to BH. You can also try KEH, they give decent prices.

If you're going to include some statement, I wouldn't be too concerned about saying "all sales final", you're not a merchant and it's a one time sale. It's more that there is "No Refund or Return". In addition I'd put- "Equipment is Sold As Is with No Warranties Express or Implied." These shouldn't scare anyone as they will appreciate it's a private sale. They may ask questions about it or ask you to send a jpg of the gear. Your responsiveness and forthcoming nature will demonstrate your integrity.

Not really a dumb question, I thought the same when I bought some Godox gear. What you may want to consider is to buy the Godox shoe mounted flash that mounts right on your hot shoe and can act as a master or slave to another godox transceiver. They make them for varied camera lines including Nikon and have varied models . Although I don't use mine this way, it can be a master or slave.

While this may be old school, visit a Barnes and Nobel and buy either a book on the basics of PS or subscribe to with PhotoPlus Nikon or PhotoPlus Canon magazine. Those magazines while specifically geared towards the particular camera, have a PS lesson every month and usually include a DVD in them to learn from incrementally. The DVD is professionally produced and geared to one lesson at a time. You'll be surprised how much you will learn if you go at it with a "walk before you run" approach.

While I too watch Youtube videos, they are not for basics, and depending on who is making them, there is only so much information they give. Despite anyone with webcam being a Youtube "star", very few of them are or know how to be a real instructor. Many are self indulgent or all about "me". They're simply there for views and ad revenue. When watching and it's just so so and I hear "If you like, subscribe to my channel" I just fast forward.

To publish a book, you have to pass the muster of content and edit professionals. To me that's the way to learn something.

Not to fuel any type of political discussion, but more to lighten the issue. There was a 1990 funny romantic comedy movie called Crazy People that starred Dudley Moore and Daryl Hannah. Patients at a behavioral institution developed ads for major companies. The ending ad was for Sony and why their electronic products were better than those made by Americans. Enjoy a good laugh.

When you're on 8-10 Zoom meetings a day for anywhere between 15 min to 1 hour for each, you don't want to burn up hours on your nice camera. I have a nice Logitech webcam that I use for work and teaching online for Purdue University. Many try to use cameras on their laptop or cellphones, but like anything else there are those who present professionally and those who are lounging around in pj's or can't hold a stable connection on their cell and the meetings become rather unproductive while we wait for them to connect/reconnect. I'd rather not use my webcam at all rather than present like that.

For home I use a Brother laser and the dirt used in the cartridge lasts for a good long time. Don't have a nice color printer but I have been looking at them. In looking at color printers, interestingly the Canon line seemingly hasn't changed much in years. I am somewhat surprised at the cost to replace ink cartridges.

I really enjoy using mine, I cannot believe the pictures that this camera makes and it is a joy to use albeit a lot of options...

Same experience here. I'm using both DeNoise AI and Sharpen AI as plugins with Corel's Paintshop Pro 2020 with really good results.

Hilarious.

Some people go to one of the quick garages to have this done. I bought an ASA wrench and do it myself. I use a stiff dark card to catch the raw material and experience has taught me to use graduated filter to sort out big to small contaminants and of course a speedy light to see under the dark hood. Many times I even put a bracket around the work so that nothing escapes while I'm working on those ISO bearings.

:)

Ditto here. I also have the older Detail, newer Adjust and Mask AI. I am constantly impressed by how easy they are to use and how well they can help. I have my Topaz products setup as plugins to Corel's Paintshop Pro. The results are great. But like any software there are also those times where you can over do it and the processing is detrimental to the image. Try it, you'll like it.
