BEWARE OF ADOBE CUSTOMER SERVICE

I have done the first comment before. Download a program called "Everything". It is much quicker.
You could check the Recycle bin but note that there is a limit to the number/size of stuff that will be stored in Recycle. I suspect it is much less than 67M (illion ?).

Try typing "Everything" in google. Where do you go from there??? It is like the rest of this thread---NOT enough correct info.

Digital Processing Hardware-PC or MAC

I am on an HP that can as a WIN7 machine. I started to upgrade the ram to 32GB and then to a 1 TB SSD. All great moves. Then was forced to keep up with an install of WIN10 to keep protected. I started my computing with an Apple IIe, moved to a MAC and then because of software programs to a Gateway PC. As mac is looking at M2 chips and a more closed system. I fear the new PC laptops will be doing the same and will not be able to upgrade but force us to just buy a different laptop because it will NOT be up-gradable. No more DVD/CD drives, C ports vs USB ports, NO cat5 ports. WE will be forced to buy new if we can even get chips into the USA. I am just getting older and farther behind. Yes, I still have a flip phone for talking to people.

Paintshop Pro 2020

John: Open the program and click on "file", scroll down to find the "workspace" title and expand the selection to see the choices of the tools. I click on the "complete" to show all the tools on the screen. You may be seeing only the "essentials" tools upon the start up of the program.

Update Windows 7 Desktop

I purchased a refurbed HP laptop that at that time came with WIN 7. I have upgraded to 32 megs of ram, 1TB SSD hard drive. Now upgraded to WIN 10 PRO. It looks just like the Win7 desktop if you set it up to look like that. Most important is the PRO level of Win10. Look at TigerDirect refurb with WIN10 PRO installed either laptop or desktop units. Hard to beat a desktop for $400.00

Is PaintShop Pro Mac compatible? I only see it offered for PCs.

I believe that you would have to install Win10 as a sub OS on the Mac to install PSP2021. Am I correct UHH's??

I'm not sure what you mean, here. If you never had brushes for PaintShop Pro, you can buy them and they will show up in your "My Library" list. You install them from there. If you bought brushes, before, they may be in your "Download" folder, where you can double-click on the .exe file to load them. If you had an older version of PaintShop, you may be able to use the menu function to transfer plugins, brushes, etc. from that older version of PaintShop to your latest version.

I had gotten Particleshop earlier and some brushes along with a current download of Particleshop with this upgrade. Again I downloaded the three brushes packs sent with this but I can not find the brushes. Where do I find "My Library " list? I did get some free brushes earlier with my purchases, again I do not know where they are.
Thanks for responding to this point.

Thanks for the hint. Now how do I start to add brushes to my PSP if I have not had them in a previous version? Will your suggestion ask for a version to look for or does it look for all versions?

When I looked at the files that PSP2021 would import, I was disappointed to see that Corel has not included HEIC/HEIF file formats. As many here have been discussing the advent of phone photography, Apple has moved to the HEIF file format which PSP does not recognize. There are many work arounds BUT it is just another step/steps that I have to do to get the pics into PSP. Are you listening Corel?

My only influence was my money! Jerry call and cry saying that you are an ol retiree and if it does not work with one customer service call do it again.

Jerry if you already have the Ultra addon subprograms and plugins, then the easy thing is to go into C:\ Programs\PSP and copy and paste the changed files. First, rename the existing Plugin file to Pluginold. Sure beats adding your Topaz plugins one by one or in this case, the Ultr add ons that you already own.

While I have always used PSP procedures to install my plugins from Topaz and NIK collection (about 5 minutes worth of time) to my upgrade but your suggestion makes me think I need more instructions to add more things to PSP. What about adding brushes to PSP, any suggestions?? I am not sure what I am missing.

I've thought of leaving Adobe for a year so I took the steps to enter PSP on Black Friday. The program would not download. I've called and I got a service order number and an assurance that someone would call or email me. I've emailed them twice and gotten more service order numbers. I am now willing to sell my new unusable corel 2021 pup ultimate s/n and 3 service order numbers to the highest bidder. As of now PSP sucks.

I did my usual BlackFriday 2021 Ultimate upgrade. I downloaded the PSP program with NO problems and registered the serial # with a conformation email followup. With my upgrade I got the 5 bonus programs. The Painter Essentials7 failed to install. I sent an email for support, got a service ticket number and within 8 hrs I had the directions and another download link to click on. Followed the directions and installed the program. Thanks to the tech and filled out the service survey that was sent out. DONE and done. I too have been a decade user. I have always like having the disks BUT try getting a computer today with CD/DVD drive. NO more cat5 port, USB going away also and now you need a c-port. PSP2021 is great, don't give up.

Topaz software issue

Jaackil wrote:

The solution actually ended up being embarrassingly simple. I had the HDMI cable from the monitor plugged into the intel gpu not the NVidia gpu. Thank you for your suggestions.

This answer makes NO sense to me. Suddenly things do not open after you downloaded the software. How did you load the software if the monitor did NOT work? You already had Denoise and now it does NOT work? And then you plugged in the HDMI from the monitor to the correct port and everything works. A monitor plug stopped the computer from functioning? What am I not understanding?

Photography Is Evolving Quickly

I suspect you are comparing 12Mp Jpegs against 24Mp Jpegs?

A useful source of information concerning printing and viewing enlargements can be found here:

http://www.photokaboom.com/photography/learn/printing/resolution/1_which_resolution_print_size_viewing_distance.htm

It was my understanding that IPhones saved its pics in HEIC formats. How do you change this format to JEPGs and what happens to the file size between formats?? Does IPhones allow you to save pics as JEPGs at the time the photos are taken?? Some post processor software will accept HEIC's and others will NOT.
