Consistent snooping got lucky. Bumped across a forum which gave links to all 5 of the patches for PSP X3. These patches were no longer available on the Corel site. The links were direct downloads to Patches 1-5, and they worked. They are all downloaded, but not yet installed. I will do so and report the results. They are supposed to make PSP X3 work on WIN 8.1 A link to the forum which has the 5 links is below, in case anyone else has a possible need for them.

Oh my gosh I finally figured it out. I had to check the show brush out lines. Good thing I got it because u probably had no clue what I was rambling about. LOL Any way watch out because I will be back. I need to learn about the new stuff in psp x since I did buy it. Thanks, Terri

Hi Jen, I have 7,8,9,X, & XII. I absolutely hated 8 and uninstalled it as soon as 9 came out. Can't say I gave 9 a lot of time as by the time I got it X was available. I really liked X but always looking for something better I decided to upgrade to XII. Love it!!! I like the dark color of the workspace better than the others. I checked and all versions after 7 have the feature you are looking for with the different size image templates, new image, presets. Urlee is right about the time it takes to load the later versions, PSP 7 is really quick in comparison. Here is what XII workspace looks like. [ Carol

Nonnie, look at all of the posts/replies on this Forum. With few exceptions, all were done with PSP (different versions, but same program). Joy Here is a link that might be useful: Corel Paint Shop Pro X
