Wish List For PaintShop Pro 2023

[Kathy_9]

You may add your feature requests for PSP2023 here.

PLEASE keep the topic free from discussions and critiques on why someone's idea is feasible or not. This will make it easier for the Corel team to read through and extract ideas.

Discussions will be removed/relocated from this topic.

Has been on my wishlist for many versions:
In the plug-in list:
Right click on plug-in > Remove from list
Remove a plug-in from the list, without removing it from your system.

The most important one - There are a lot of cameras on the market supporting color spaces like Adobe RGB. My camera allows me to take photos in that color space. It is time the PSP allow to edit photos in those color spaces. Right now it only allows the sRGB color space.
Clipping warnings - this one I have asked for a few years.

I agree absolutely. For PSP to move forward, it's all about improving and adding functions in the complete workspace. I doubt anyone purchase and few use the simplified Essential or Photography workspace anyway!

really need PSP to show the dimensions of selections and be able to modify dimensions, especially rectangles and circles.

Would be really nice if blend ranges were available on adjustment layers vice having to put the adjustment layer in a group and then blend range the group.

I am not stating that this does exactly what you want but the custom selection button on the selection toolbar lets you set the exact dimensions for any rectangle or square. This will not help you with circles though

4K monitors, rulers become useless and don't resize like the other items (upscaling) nor is there an option to make them larger, thus on 4k monitors, the ruler feature becomes useless as you cannot read it.

PSP RULER SIZE

I see this has been reported in PSP2021 and unless I have missed an option somewhere, hasn't been fixed in PSP2022.

Thanks for reading.
Have a great day!

Build in something like puppet warp in photoshop.

A Corel in which all filters work. Have now stopped buying because many have no use for it. Because only a limited number of filters work in it even if it is the 32 bits

Lock Toolbars

Adding a place to the Materials Palette to quickly enter a hex code to quickly change colors instead of having to bring the material properties dialog up first would be an awesome addition. Thank you.

1. Preserve thumbnail folders on exit (Corel PaintShop Pro\2022\Thumbs\) or return to old JBF files in the image folders. Thumbnail folders are deleted when exiting PaintShop Pro, and I don't see a Preferences option to keep them from being deleted. I have several very large folders (ca. 1000 images) that I dip into regularly and quickly to present musical score images for classes. Every run of PaintShop Pro 2022 rebuilds the thumbnails, which means a wait of 1-5 minutes.

2. An option to replace the horizontal date dividers with thumbnail-size date divider boxes.

3. Fix Manager hang on lossless jpegs.

PSP is my daily bread since 1992. I use it professionally and private, nowadays for texturing virtual worlds and in web design. I'm still using PSP 2021, because the last update is not attractive enough paying for.

My wishes are:
01) Feature to disable all(!) ads (still receiving ads without a checkbox to disable it)
02) Settings for messages and ads should be moved into the main Preferences/Settings window.
03) Fixing and improving the switch of UI language, without the need of restarting PSP, which destroys a custom workspace. Changing UI language quickly is required on communicating with other PSP users around the globe and creating tutorials.
04) Improving rendering performance massively. PSP is getting ultra slow when having some layers and a bunch of vector elements.
05) Better and more vector manipulation tools
06) More creative and realistic effects, some of the existing effects could be improved massively.
07) The predefined shapes for Inner/Outer Bevel effect are too tiny for modern projects at higher resolutions. The resulting effect is either too small then, or the surface is rough, because these default shapes are just very tiny b/w bitmaps (probably unchanged since PSP 7).
08) Custom shapes for Inner/Outer Bevel effect
09) Bringing back the old basic crop tool as option
10) Generators for textures, materials and normal maps
11) Grouping of guides and toggling those groups
12) One combined export window for web formats (PNG, JPEG, JPEG2000, WebP, SVG, AVIF), with the format stored in custom presets, so we can export faster into target format, depending on the project we are working on. The format settings can be grouped into tabs.
13) Full SVG support, including saving/exporting them. Needed in particular to export vector shapes to make graphics for websites.
14) Exporting of WebP files with all settings possible (currently one can save a WebP file without any settings available)
15) Fixing the bugs and issues I already reported (I don't report anymore because Corel support was very rude to me)
16) A unique version number: PSP 2021 has the internal version number 23.1.0.27, which is confusing (21 vs 23). The internal version number should be the only one.
17) A community-driven Wiki for the PSP Scripting API, but hosted on corel.com
(Current Scripting documentation by Corel: http://help.corel.com/paintshop-pro/v20/main/en/api/)
18) Layer protection, or Selectable/Unselectable flag, to avoid underlying layer are accidentally moved or otherwise modified
19) Drag&Drop of multiple selected folders and files into the batch converter
20) After running batch converter it should stay open without loosing my settings, so I still have a chance to change them, if output is not ok.
21) A tool to generate CSS Image Sprites directly from selected vector shapes or layers in the file.
22) A button to delete the editing history in the image info window. If you keep working on the same file for years, file size is blowing up just by this history. And there is also the privacy issue (remember Transrapid affair). (It is possible to disable history logging, but that is not enough)
23) Tooltips are showing just the name of a control element. Optionally, they should also show a short sentence about the purpose below the name. That would make it needless consulting the online help in many cases, but also help understanding the UI. Example: https://snipboard.io/AYzFdw.jpg
24) Let us download the main PSP installation files directly. Don't give us a downloader which will download just another downloader again! On PSP 2021 the downloaded file was just a downloader, which downloaded a package of the additional tools plus another downloader for PSP itself (like a Matryoshka doll).
25) Information about developing own plugins is required.
26) Locking toolbars via context menu (Right click > Lock Toolbars)
27) Finally, Corel should give up developing PSP and publish the code under an open-source licence. Since Corel took over from Jasc, PSP is getting worse update by update. Changes made in recent years are mostly cosmetic, and development is far behind of what is required.

Friendly greetings

And there is also the privacy issue (remember Transrapid affair).

What is the Transrapid affair?
