Can't view X3 pspimages in PSP9

[smiledog]

Hello, people.

As you can imagine, I've just upgraded to X3. I just saved a .tiff image as a pspimage, without any editing. When I close it and go to re-open it, I can open it in X1 and in X3, BUT NOT IN Paint Shop Pro 9, which is and probably will remain my workhorse. The browser in PSP 9 doesn't even show the pspimage, only the .tif image. I've tried to open it in PSP 9 via Windows Explorer, but get one of two error messages: "This is not a valid pspimage" or "no preview available". Monkeying around with the File Associations in PSP 9 doesn't seem to help.

The problem arises if I want to do the bulk of my editing/restoration in PSP 9 and then bring it up in X3 in order to use one of the newer tools, such as the Makeover tool. Once I do that, I've lost the ability to re-open it in PSP 9.

Is there a way that you know of to make an X3 pspimage available in PSP 9, or is it inherantly not possible?

Thanks,

Barry

When you save as a PSP image, in the Save As dialog box under Save and Cancel click Options, under Version select PSP 9 compatible file and you should be fine.
