Wishlist for Paint Shop Pro 2019

For goodness sake, release the Trial versions in both 32bit and 64bit versions, not just 64bit! The vast majority of plugins are 32bit and PSP users have been collecting them for decades but aren't able to test new PSP versions with their existing plugins. Not a smart marketing move IMHO.

[Ken Berry]

I've also often wondered what happens when someone comes along who has only Windows 32 bit version but wants to test PSP.

I think the download has both 32-bit and 64-bit but it defaults to whatever your OS is.

Answers Ken's question but of course that doesn't solve the other issue about testing it 32bit plugins, which is likely the type of plugin that most people have the most of.

'Soft Fuzz' in Clone Brush! Works so good and so much easier than what Photoshop does! Was able to download it from a Corel site for X7, but can't find it now for 2018! Not happy!

Leave only EDIT part of the program, everything else is useless and only make PaintShop extremely slow on fire up. Everything else, except EDIT is bloatware. Nobody use Manage and all that crap, do you really believe somebody buys PaintShop for its gallery? There are way better alternatives to manage and showcase your pictures, and most are freeware.

The ability to load only Edit already exists in PSP2018.

Many people use Manage, me being one of them. It's not just a gallery, it's a method of browsing image folders with thumbnails that are scalable to the users satisfaction and then selecting one of more files to edit. If other users prefer other methods of opening files in PSP then good for them. But that doesn't mean that Corel should remove the built-in method that many of us use and prefer. And as Kathy said, just remove that tab from your PSP and you're good to go.

Better Art Media, there out dated by far.
Easier Gradient Mapping - instead of using Curves for it.
A Better way of doing duo - tones, and tri -tones, instead of layer properties blending mode.
Better instructions on how the Hue Map adjustments works in details.

Essentials mode for "Manage" also.

For simplicity it would be very useful to have an Essential Mode that sets a simplified approach to both the organizer (Manage) & editor rather than just the editor. How do you browse the photo collection in Essential Mode otherwise?

I don't quite understand what you would like to do to simplify the Manage mode. And I'm also unsure about what issue you are having browsing your photos. I don't use Essentials because it is too limited, particularly when it comes to customizing the workspace, so would appreciate some clarification about what you would expect a simplified Manage mode to look like.

When saving in PNG format the default dialogue does not give any option to save alpha or existing transparency. You have to go to the Optimize button to do so. I would expect that there should be an option to make saving transparency the default without having to Optimize. After all, the main reason for using PNG, other than that it is lossless, is to take advantage of its ability to also save transparency.

I had originally though that the choices I had originally made in the Optimize tab - particularly transparency options - would stick any time I chose to just save as PNG, only to find out that this was not correct. Please make that option available in the default PNG save dialogue.

Alternatively - and at the very least - put an Advanced Options checkbox on the default Save dialogue that, when checked, would always open that default dialogue with the Optimize options also available, similar to the way checking the Advanced options in Resize always keep those advanced options open the next time you use the Resize dialogue.

Support for large files. PSP is horrible at using the available CPU and RAM.

I'm working on a 600 DPI, 6450 x 4740 px, 8 bits. That is not huge. Still just fixing a typo takes a whole hour, as in 60 minutes.

Can we please have GPU support too?
