I was sent here by a representative of the Corel website as they cannot answer my question about Paintshop Pro. But I do not see this specific software mentioned here. Can anyone elucidate, am I in the correct place? Thank you.
Thanks for the link Ariel. Are you indicating that this site is not suitable for my purpose? Or are you offering this link as an alternative?
I find that site lacking, I use PSP X9 all the time what do you need to know?
Hi David, thank you for your reply & offer.
I have downloaded the trial of X9. I am a photographer with much experience of Lightroom, but none of Photoshop or similar softwares. I have a product shoot, which is outside my usual sphere of photography; the shooting I can do, but the client wants more: I need to isolate the area around the subject(s) in each photograph, replace it with white & then apply a false shadow. I am into my 3rd day of trying to isolate the appropriate area in an image & change it to white, but so far, after about 14 hours of work I have not succeeded. I thought it would be a simple process, but no. The Corel website techs are not at all helpful & I can't find any suitable video tutorials. Also nothing in the manual. I have tried isolating the area from the subject with a path of nodes & then filling, but the fill also affects the subject. I have also tried the opposite; isolating the subject with a path of nodes, then inverting the selection & affecting the inverted negative space with the fill tool, but, in this case, am prompted to change the layer to a raster which then no longer recognises the nodal pathway & the fill affects the whole image, including the subject. I have never worked with such frustrating & counter-intuitive software, though I have been informed that Photoshop works on similar principles. If you could help I would be very grateful.
