Lost Picture Tubes.

Post by Barbelfisher »

Hi Everyone,

I have just installed a new pc i saved the folders downloaded with PSPX6 to a seperate hard drive, i installed the new pc and re installed PSP i sent the folders from the seperate back to my documents on the pc.....I have noticed though that the picture tubes that i made are no longer visible within the presets in PSP, I have also just exported a couple of picture that i did and while they are present in the presets in PSP they do not appear in the picture tubes folder in my documents......Any help please?

Have you checked the file locations under menu File/Preferences/File locations?
There you can check where PSP searches for tubes, and where it saves new ones.

File -> Export -> Picture Tube should send it to the destination you specified under File -> Preferences -> File Locations -> Picture Tubes -> Save to
PSPX9 | PSP2020 | PSP2021| PSP2022 | PSP2023 & PhotoMirage installed; PSPX | PSPX2 thru PSP2019 owned but not installed

In your case on an XP machine the address of your Picture Tube folder should be:

C:\Documents and Settings\*UserName*\My Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\16.0

Normally when you make / create a picture tube (object (s) on a transparent background, they will be saved here.
If you are bringing in some previous picture tubes they should also be copied to this folder.

If you want to put picture tubes in a different folder outside of My Documents then you will need to direct PSP X6 to find them there and that is when you use File > Preferences > File Locations to thne browse to that location and Add it.

PSPX6 as with the other versions of paintshop pro comes with some Corel picture tubes. These are in your Application Data section
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Corel\Corel PaintShop Pro X6\Corel_10
These will be the few installed with X6 as well as the Creative whatsit you download separately and install. (Creative Collections and Creative Content - I keep getting them mixed up I wish they would get a distinguishing name to separate them).
Systems available Win7, Win 8.1,Win 10 Version 1607 Build 14393.2007 & version 20H2 Build 19042.867
