PSPX9_Corel_CreativeCollection????

[Aharon Dayan]

Hello all!

Forgive me for my very stupid question but hey although I am heavy and frequent user of PSP X4 Ultimate, I am totally new to PSP X9 Ultimate and PSP 2023.

I installed PSPX9_Corel_CreativeCollection and it did installation stuff automatically and announced successful and complete installation. But when I checked PSP X9 Ultimate, I cannot find or do not see evidence of presence of PSPX9_Corel_CreativeCollection. I am pretty sure I would be wrong on this and it should be there in PSP X9 Ultimate.

Can anyone please explain to me on PSPX9_Corel_CreativeCollection and where to find that installed feature in my PSP X9 Ultimate? I do not even see in Windows directory or folders?? I must be missing something and probably overlook or fail to spot it.

I do see PSPX9_Corel_CreativeCollection's natures, flowers, sunsets, and textures in picture folder of public folder but I cannot find any brushes that come with PSPX9_Corel_CreativeCollection??

Thanks,

Aharon

I see in the cool spreadsheet chart saying there are 175 brushes from Creative Collection for PSP X9

I have PSPX9 CreativeCollection installed in my PSP X9 Pro Ultimate. Although I do see textures, flowrers, sunsets, nature, and designs as well as about 30 brushes in Presets section in toolkit in my PSP X9 Pro Ultimate, I do not see 175 paintbrushes that the spreadsheet chart says that PSPX9 Pro Ultimate should have. Creative Collection gave me about 30 extra brushes.

Please advise??

A couple thoughts. First, did you note the statement above the spreadsheet that said it represented the number of files; not necessarily the number of brushes as some brushes consist of two files?

Also, be sure you installed both the Creative Collection and the Creative Content. They are two separate exe files with very similar names but they are different.

ahhh ok thanks

Creative Collection came free with my purchased PSP Pro X9 Ultimate but Creative Content did not come with my X9 software so I guess I am not eligible for Creative Content package. The X9 Pro Ultimate came with free extras: Creative Collection, Attentech Perfectly Clear, Corel Live Screen Capture, After Shot 3, and PSPX9 PF (I do not know what PF software is).

You are very welcome.

Kathy,

Funny thing is that your suggestion for download more content took me to Nik Collection which is 64 bit that I have been looking for long time for my 64 bit version of PSP Pro X9 Ultimate and the new PSP Pro 2023 Ultimate. That solved my problem and allowed me to avoid using Plugin Bridge from Mediachance which allows 32 bit plugins to work in PSP 64 bit.

Also your suggestion took me to KPT Collections for use of 32 Bit PSP Pro X9 which I installed while overwriting the previous KPT Collection which solved the annoying problem of KPT Collection asking me for user name and serial code numbers meaning I can use KPT Collection without having to see KPT Collection asking me 45 times a day for user name and serial code numbers

Only if I can find 64 bit of KPT Collection...... hahahahaha

BTW, I also downloaded Creative Content and installed it but I seem not to see any evidence of Creative Content stuff in my PSP X9 or in my Windows directory. I am sure I am making goofy or stupid question asking you where can I find Creative Content stuff in my PSP X9, please and in Windows directory for purpose of copying and pasting into PSP 2023 directory

At least it is NICE to have 64 bit of Nik Collections for X9 and 2023 considering that I am heavy user of Nik Collection sfor my PSP Pro X4 Ultimate

Thanks,

Aharom

Still unable to find any evidence of Creative Content in my PSPX9. Please advise. I seem not to see any evidence of Creative Content stuff in my PSP X9 or in my Windows directory even though the installation was successful.

Thanks,

Aharon I don't know how else to help you. If you installed it, it should be there. I can only point you to this thread where another user compiled a list of what you should have. https://forum.corel.com/viewtopic.php?t=62261

Keep in mind, many of the resources (brushes, etc.) can be downloaded for free online so if there is something in particular you want or need just do a search for it.

Good afternoon Kathy,

What I mean is what is Creative Content supposed to feature so that I can verify?? I can verify success of Creative Collection because I know and can verify in my PSP X9 that Creative Collection features flowers, sunset, nature, and design textures which is clear indication of successful installation.

As for Creative Content, I have no idea what it is supposed to feature therefore I am unable to verify success of installation of Creative Content.

The cool spreadsheet presentation via your link tells me the numbers of features for Creative Content but does not tell me what features are. If I know the features of Creative Content, I can verify and see in my PSP X9.

Personally, the best I can offer will probably annoy you more than anything. I can make a script that creates a full list of all files that PSP can find for resources, run it once to create the list. Then you install all content and creations. Run the script again and it'll tell you what's different between the original list and the new list.

But for this to work you have to uninstall everything and start from scratch. It also won't track anything that isn't included in the file locations folders. Such as the Background file saved to the Public Pictures folder.

Levi,

Thank you for your reply. I think my question is not understood.

All I need to know what is Creative Content consisted of? I cannot find anywhere on the Internet or on Corel website that says something (for imaginary example) like Creative Contents offers snowstorm textures, rainstorm textures, full moon textures, heart shaped brush, and so on. As for Creative Collection, I can see on internet and Corel website telling me specific features of Creative Collection such as flowers, sunset, nature, and design textures which allows me to verify and find on my PSP X9 and PSP 2023 that is clear indication of successful installation. However, as for Creative Contents, I have no idea what it is supposed to feature due to lack of info on internet and Corel website.

All I am asking is what Creative Contents is supposed to feature.

Regards,

Aharon

I fully understood your question. It's why I said I can only offer this. This would tell you two things: 1) That something was added. And 2) What was added.

I don't have the collection so I can't analyze the installer to see what it's trying to install.
