[Sticky] -- Creative Content: Number of Brushes

[Ken Berry]

These tables for both PSP X9 and PSP 2018 were provided by one of our regular users hartpaul. He comments:

As for the changes in content this comparison may help you to locate any changed numbers. Note the numbers were obtained by selecting the main folder and doing Properties so it equals the number of files rather than the total number of brushes. Some brushes consist of 2 files.

Note that this list includes not only PSP 2018 but also X9 and X8.

This is a sticky thread and is meant to have very few posts as, if it goes to pages and pages, very few will search through those pages.
I cannot and will not try and help until you make a separate thread using the New Topic, as any explanation and added questions may make this thread useless.

Same here ... but absolutely nothing anywhere in the forum to explain why it does not show up when installed --- if it exists, I must be typing something incorrectly.

Fussing because someone asked a question here only frustrates members ... link please if there's an answer.

Personally, I've installed X3, x5, x6, x8, x9 and 2018 and only have the brushes that come in the program even though I've installed each creative content.

How many brushes do you show that you have for each of those versions?

I only have x9 and 2018 installed. Not sure about x9, never counted but 2018 has 70.

I purchased the PSP2018 Ultimate Upgrade and received an email giving the following information along with some downloads. By installing the items highlighted I finished with the 70 brushes in :
C:\ProgramData\Corel\Corel PaintShop Pro 2018\Corel_01

and Properties of Corel_01 showed 125 files and 3 folders.

- note that there are some brushes in X5 that are not included in 2018 (the musical notes)

So to have all of the brushes that Corel have ever released you would need to have installed all the ultimate versions of the PSP X+ series and their respective Creative Collections. However you may also search for many other free brushes and also convert many photoshop brushes so it is probably not common that everyone will have the exact same number or types of brushes.

Email Info:
Installation Overview: You will find a number of executable (.exe) files below. Here’s what they do and why you need to, or want to, install them:

PaintShop 2018 Ultimate (PSP2018_Ult.exe): This is the main PaintShop Pro program itself, you must install this program first.

Corel AfterShot 3 (PSP2018_AfterShot3Installer.exe): Edit and enhance RAW photos, and save time with powerful batch processing tools.

Painter Essentials 5 (PSP2018_CorelPE5_x64.exe): Turn your photos into works of art with photo-painting tools.

Corel Creative Collection (PSP2018_Corel_CreativeContent.exe): Get more creative tools, including dozens of brushes, textures and 100+ royalty-free backgrounds.

Perfectly Clear 3 SE (PSP2018_Athentech_PerfectlyClear.exe): Apply robust, one-click image corrections with award-winning intelligent photo correction technology.


So these are the files that you download and install from the email sent to you.

PSP2018_AfterShot3Installer.exe 641 KB
PSP2018_CorelPE5_x64.exe 230 913 KB
PSP2018_Corel_CreativeContent.exe 204 590 KB
PSP2018_Athentech_PerfectlyClear.exe 67 339 KB

By registering and logging in to the Corel Site you can get these downloads:

Corel_KPT.exe 83 692 KB
Corel_CreativeContent.exe 135 311 KB
there is also a scripting guide if interested as well.

On the Corel site in Support > Patches and Updates > Paintshop Pro you can also download :

From the post near the top of this page :

http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=52337

you can download:
PSP2018_Cleanup.exe.zip 675 KB

During installation of PSP you get a downloaded zip file:

psp2018_ult.zip 400 620 KB

and this unzips to give you a folder :

psp2018_ult and Properties gives you 443 MB.

It contains all the setup files to be able to install PSP2018 possibly on an offline computer.

Hope all that information helps - just need to do a little searching.
