Jasc PSP 9?

Post by ninagiraffe »

Is anyone out there still using it? Holding onto a copy? I am using a trial version and I find it does certain things that X6 won't do. Go figure. Anyone else find this to be the case?

Cheers!

Such as?

It's true that PSP 9 and PSPX6 are very different beasts these days. They both do things the either probably doesn't, but the question is what? Some things PSP 9 did are hidden inside PSPX6, or replaced by something Corel thought was "better." And others were just removed.

If you tell us what you're looking for we may, or may not, be able to point you to how PSPX6 does it by comparison to how PSP9 does.

Haven't used it for years, but miss the ability to use the Curves Adjustment sampling from an open image in the later versions of PSP.
It's become a file management utility, which used to be separate.
Corel should not have incorporated that into the Editor, it has nothing to do with editing.
Neither has Facebook or GPS, it's all silly nonsense that doesn't belong there.
The Vector tools have been neglected since Jasc was in charge, well explained by Corel adding "Photo" to the title, but thankfully that was dropped.
It didn't help the Vector Tools though.

Having said all that, X6 works well, bar a few dislikes.
