I will be upgrading from PSP x8 to x9 and want to keep my preferences (mostly custom toolbar) containing brightness/contrast, unsharp mask tool, etc.
Is there instructions on how to do this?

Re: Keeping preferences when upgrading
You are best to do this manually and then save your workspace. It should only take a short time and you only have to do it once per new program.

Re: Keeping preferences when upgrading
I agree with him, but before I discovered this I unchecked the Clear Preferences/Customizations box when uninstalling a version of PSP. Worked. But if you run more than one version of PSP simultaneously you are better off saving a workspace. The one area this does not apply is in new features. Old Workspaces do not contain new features. Eg. -- as happened recently -- a user saved an old workspace, in this case from PSP 2018. She used the same Workspace for PSP 2019. Its dropdown menu did not contain a setting for adjusting a font size. So be careful.hartpaul wrote:You are best to do this manually and then save your workspace.
