The Power to Create®

Posted on by

Weee!! I just installed my new, official and licensed copy of Paint Shop Pro 7.04, and I’m absolutely impressed by all the things you can do with this new version. I had the 6.01 version, thanks to a friend who sent me the file a while ago, but I was always worried about getting in trouble or losing it in a crash. I’m SO NOT into cracking software and stuff like that… call me a prude, or blame my father… ha ha! He wanted everything with the correct label.

Anyway, this thing is amazing and I just installed it, haven’t really played with it! I think PSP is a great option for those of us who want to get all graphic in a non-professional way and don’t really have the money to buy the most cool PhotoShop right away. I have a LE version of PS that came with my Wacom Tablet, but I’ve never really used it; I have been playing with PSP since 1998 and I’m completely happy with it. And well! I even upgraded the useful Acrobat Reader, plus I get a rebate… Weee!!

Question: Does anyone know if I can install my old tubes and brushes and make them work?

  1. Can’t wait to see all your creations Bea! Remember, you still have to teach me how to make those link .gifs :wink: That magazine you mentioned sounds like a good one btw :tongue: André has a friend who just got the newest version of PHOTOSHOP and guess what? He’s giving me the last version. I’ll let you know how that goes :wave:

  2. right on Bea. :thumb: I love PSP even if I don’t get much of an opportunity to use it much. and yes, you shouldn’t have a problem getting your tubes and brushes installed.

  3. I’m not to certain about the brushes. :sad: I upgraded from PSP 5.01 to 7.x so I do know a bit about the tubes. You can’t use the tubes in the format for 6. There is a tube converter that came with my copy of the program. Try looking in your PSP directory for a program called TubeConverter.exe. That will covert your tubes for use in 7.04.

  4. I have PSP 7 and love it…can’t afford Photoshop, either, but that’s okay! :smile:

    Right now I mostly use it for photo-editing…much more versatile than the software that came with my digi-cam. But I have used it to make some of the graphics for my site, too.

    BTW, I feek the same as you do…I can’t bring myself to use unlicensed, unpaid-for software. Besides, I like having the CD around just in case I ever need to re-install it!

    Have fun with it! :wave:
