Upgrading from X3 to X5

Post by huxdug »

What is the best method to upgrade from X3 to X5...should I remove X3 first for example?

I have PSP8, X2, X3, X4, and X5 all available on an XP maching and a Windows 7 machine. They can all exist without any problems. X2 and X3 share the same My PSP Files (brushes gradients etc) in My Documents, but the others are separate. You do not have to remove earlier versions to have X5 work.
Some people like a feature in X3 which may act differently to X5. I do most of my work in X2 and then X4 and then X3/X5 and very occasionally test something out in PSP8.

I can also set up for a screen capture in X2 or PSP8 to show a problem or feature in X5 , X4. (I can have X2 and X4/ X5 open at the same time.
Systems available Win7, Win 8.1,Win 10 Version 1607 Build 14393.2007 & version 20H2 Build 19042.867
