Stop the ads?

[OldNick]

I object, in a paid-for programme, to seeing continual product placement, such as when I change the brush shape in Clone, or whenever I open a RAW file I can't even install the free/demo version of Aftershock, let alone want to buy it..

I have turned messages off in Help / Message preferences and I HOPE that stops the pop-up ads I am seeing from time to time at the BRHS of my screen.

As I say, I paid for this. It is not some demo or freeware on my Android that I accept comes with ads.

Any help appreciated.

The fourth sticky at the top of this forum has more advice.

Hmmm...which seems not to work for a lot of people, but I will give it a go, thanks.

Sucky behaviour, Corel. Sad. I had not seen all this garbage, because I stuck with X2. It may alter my thinking about a photo editor in future.

I PAID for this! I have been a PSP user since Jasc days, back when it was not commercially priced. No ads then!
