Mask programs that work with psp x3

[humblejohn38]

Having trouble with topaz remask plug-in. Is there another program that works with PSP or am I out in the cold?

BTW: I hear about patches and updates to PSP. Where do I get these? Thanks in advance.

It's a known issue that patch #3 to PSP X3 broke the ReMask plug-in. For that reason I went back to PSP X2 where ReMask works just fine. Corel is very much aware of the issue and we are all waiting on a new patch that will hopefully correct the problem.

In terms of patches, you can try updating through your Help menu in PSP or click on the Patches & Updates link at the top of this forum. If you used the link, click on Paint Shop Pro X3 when the page loads.

Hope this help.

Edited to add: You might want to try the GML Matting plug-in. It's free and I just double checked to see that it does work in PSP X3. It's not as good as ReMask but it's better than nothing.
