[Jean-Luc]

Seriously, that's your answer? That is not good enough. Not even close. I don't want them there at all.

I currently use PSP 2021 Ultimate and tried the trial of 2022 specifically for the AI background removal featureIt has to be tried to be disbelieved!!!

I dislike that it is NOT posible to put your own backgrounds in map C:\ProgramData\Corel\Corel PaintShop Pro 2022\AI_BR_Preset
Oh, Yeh you can put them there, but PSP2022 do not accept them as presets.

If you don't like the Corel's backgrounds, replace them with yours.
You need to save them with the same name (only JPG allowed):

If you click on the second button in that Select from: dialogue, the one that looks like a folder, a "Browse" button should appear where the "All" dropdown is. You get a File Explorer dialogue and you can choose any file.

Edit: I would greatly appreciate it if the whole Background Replacer (and others) opened in the same size as the PSP window and not start full screen.

1. VERY slow to open on my computer. I have an i5-9400F CPU with 16GB of RAM. It takes much longer than any other program to startup on my computer.
2. Several brushes don't work (such as Smooth or Blur). The mouse pointer stops/freezes almost immediately as soon as I click the left button when trying to use these brushes. And no effect is rendered, or sometimes a minimal amount. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 graphics card. This problem didn't show up when I first downloaded the 2022 version of this program, but now it is almost unusable. This problem also used to occur with previous versions that I have had of PSP.

Oh, no! If what ADonahoo said is true, then I'm going to have to return PaintShop Pro 2022 Ultimate. I was using PSP 9, and it was constantly freezing up, and like ADonahoo, I had to use task master to actually reboot my computer. Of course, everything I did to the file was lost, in spite of the 15 minute back up. Then I heard that they solved the problem in 2021 version. I figured on that bug fix alone, I'd pop for the money. Now I read that the bug has never been fixed.

Test for yourself, don't go on anyone's individual report as that "bug" may be a symptom of mulitple bugs and the one that broke for you might be different than the one ADonahoo noted. Always do the trial before buying to be sure.

Maybe this is something to consider before verdien 2023...

Trst001 - can you post the content of the discussion you're pointing to? Not everyone has (or trusts) facebook.

The Facebook post appears to be in a private group, so can only be seen by members of that group.

The post was about older versions of Paint Shop Pro, back in the good old JASC days.
Fewer bells and whistles with all the work spaces experienced users rarely touch at all. In short PSP was sort of a more focused program... I wish the programmers had used their time on the complete workspace. For instance fixing stuff such as that a double click would set control sliders to zero. ( That's more or less a standard in photo software from DxO, Adobe etc. )

And the fact that old versions 7,8,9 and 10 actually still runs fine under Windows 10 (11) So if still have your CD's you can in fact still use the old versions.

I will have to 100% endorse this post.
JASC's PSP where awesome

I still use 80% of the time my PSP 7.04 on Win11... loads in 3 seconds (compared to 20 seconds of PSP 202x)

The only throwback is that sometimes, color picker makes program to crush

Still using 2020...
wonder if this issues where fixed on 2022?

a) al dialogs are broken on systems with "screen -> 150% scale"
b) Loading time is huge... about 20 seconds (on a fair top-line PC)
c) Text tool is crumpsy: whenever you change any attribute of a text, every component of the workspace redraws itself... scary....

I used to update annually, but I am waiting for smarter masking and selection tools. PSP is falling behind in this important area.
