Hello, I am sorry but I just can not find any answers to this and I have tried every way possible. I have quite a few questions all that are related to one another.
I am working on Paint shop Pro 2018 on Windows 10
1. How do you make Preset Shapes and Tubes?
2. Can you make Preset Tubes with Fonts?
3. How can I export preset tubes?
3. Where can I get preset Shapes and Tubes? I already downloaded the free ones that are provided with the program.
4. I tried to export a picture as a shape and it's not giving me the option of exporting a shape what am I doing wrong?
Thank you

Re: PSP 2018 Preset Shapes and Tubes
Shapes and Tubes work the same across almost all versions of PSP. This hasn't changed in forever.
Preset Shapes
Preset Shapes are vector images, the help article in PSP lists exporting a shape as a preset under the Drawing and Editing Vector Objects category. You first select the shape using the Pick tool, then go to File -> Export -> Shape. Give it a name.
If any part isn't a vector, the shapet won't be exported.
Picture Tubes
Here is the the help document for creating a picture tube - http://help.corel.com/paintshop-pro/v19 ... 3ww1818207
And here is a tutorial from Corel on it - https://support.corel.com/hc/en-us/arti ... %20Palette.
You can make Picture Tubes with Fonts, yes. You'd have to choose your font, create each letter, space it properly on the grid, and export as a Picture Tube. You can also export Text as a Preset Shape, you just need to convert it to a path rather than a text object.
There are many places online to download tubes, Corel sells some, CreationCassel has many she sells, there are a few on DeviantArt.

Re: PSP 2018 Preset Shapes and Tubes
Thank you so much. I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong I would make it then go to export it but it would never be with the others. I'll go back and see what I can do.
