PSPP X3 - Help file? Recommendations for videos/guides?

Post by SyncroScales »

Hi.

I was going to read through the help file of Corel's PaintShop Photo Pro X3. But It doesn't open properly.

I get this file path first that opens in a web-browser: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Corel/Corel%20PaintShop%20Photo%20Pro/X3/PSPClassic/Languages/EN/Help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Corel_PaintShop_Photo_Pro_Help&topic=0x2007F&single=

Then the closest I can get to is this: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Corel/Corel%20PaintShop%20Photo%20Pro/X3/PSPClassic/Languages/EN/Help/

But it does not open into anything useful when I click the links.

Is there a Pdf or was to access the products help? I don't need the user guide. I have the book and the pdf already.

Also, are there any recommendations for videos or guides?

I found these even though the products are PSPP X1-X5:

- Corel PaintShop Photo Pro - https://www.youtube.com/user/PaintShopPhotoPro
- Corel PaintShopPro - https://www.youtube.com/user/CorelPaintShopPro

X6
- Corel Discovery Center - https://www.youtube.com/c/coreldiscoverycenter

Thanks.

Manual is available at this website- seems legitimate, downloadable as pdf.

If you can't get it private message me and I will e-mail you a copy of one I have on my computer.

Hi rondo.

I already have the User Guide. I thought there was a more in-depth help area. When I click on the help link in the PSPPX3 program, it only has the graphic. But no links or menus to browse.

Before there was choices online and offline. What happened?

Thanks.

Sorry about that. Checked the Help in my X3 and got a Page Not Found error online from Corel- guess they took it offline.
I think X2 was the last version to have an in program help guide rather than online help.
Plenty of video tutorials on YouTube for X3- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... AAD2C2EA6C

I have Windows XP and Vista on a multi-boot system.

Windows XP opens up a help/htm guide I can see offline. I can access it in there.

Maybe Vista support was dropped?

Please see the attachment screenshot. The Vista version is blank with only a Corel PSPPX3 logo.

After attempting to manually open up the help file, I got this link and pasted it into Internet Explorer, it worked. It also worked in Mozilla Firefox and Lunascape6 when I had to change the file path and go back one directory at a time until I clicked on or typed in wwhelp.htm at the end. But I couldn't get it to work in Google Chrome or Opera browsers. It seems to be a java script problem, Lunascape6 said about loading java script in the sidebar that is blank.

But I had to input this so Firefox and Lunascape(Gecko)notices the file path and makes the menu buttons available, without them there is nothing to navigate: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Corel/Corel%20PaintShop%20Photo%20Pro/X3/PSPClassic/Languages/EN/Help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm

Again, for the screenshot:
