Lost a selection I was editing

Post by czbill »

PSP 2019 Ultimate, after an update I cannot find a selection I was editing. Nothing in recent files or in history. Did I lose it all? Where does PSP store these, I had saved it several times over a few days.

Did you save the selection to Disk or to an Alpha Channel?
If to disk then it should be in
C:\Users\*username*\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\2019

If you saved it as an Alpha Channel then you should also save that as a .pspimage to keep the Alpha channel and the selection.
You just have to reload that pspimage and then load the selection from the Alpha Channel.

Had saved them to disk. They were exactly where you said, thank you.
