Can I view two images on the EDIT screen at once?

Post by Shezadog01 »

Hello. I am a very inexperienced user of PaintShop Pro. I am trying to figure out how to display two different images of the same thing on the the EDIT screen to compare one against the other. Failing success in that endeavor, I tried to start a second session of PaintShop Pro but that didn't work either. I tried right clicking on the icon on the taskbar and selecting the program but nothing happened. I also tried starting from the icon on the desktop but no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

John

Thank you, Jean-Luc. Your reply to Clive was exactly the answer I was looking for. Unchecking "Tabbed Document" under the Window menu and holding down the Ctrl key while selecting two photos did the trick. Your first suggestion might have made for a decent enough work-around but pretty involved for someone of my limited experience with the program. But, at least I did get the answer I was hoping for and I thank you for that.
