    Re: X2 then Ultimate?

    Interesting discussion. Thanks guys and special thanks to Trev for a revealing look at the RAW stuff in PSP.

    I tried Raw Shooter Essentials, Steve. It will not accept my RAF files or DNG files...

    Re: X2 then Ultimate?

    Me too. Corel have been criticised about this before.

    If I could could get an AUD$50 upgrade to X2 that allowed RAW from many images, I would consider it.

    HOWEVER.

    RAW is a funny thing. I...

    Non-Contiguous Magic Wand

    I am using Paint Shop Pro and was interested in trying Xara XTreme Pro. I am mainly into photo work. If I want to select, say, the sky in a photo, in PSP I would use the Magic Wand and ask for it to...

    Steve, thanks.

    I take that all on board and have seen the same sort of things happen in the digital music world (Cakewalk).

    But my main question (and probably gripe) is "Was Ultimate brought...

    X2 then Ultimate?

    Am I right in thinking that Corel brought out X2, then brought out Ultimate (which as far as I am concerned is useful only in that it allows RAW support, which should have been in X2 anyway)?

    Ok. Thanks Keith. That is what I was using. I think it's foreground white, background/fill black.

    As I said it worked in many cases but not so well in "busy" parts of the shot....bushes, water...

    Thanks for the reply, Keith.

    I tried that. It worked on _most_ stuff, but in areas that were complex and high contrast it still was a bit tough to read. These are shots of a trip to show the...

    Arrgh! I need to get this done!

    So I decided to script in PSP :

    I was already downloading the trial before I got your reply! :)

    I remembered Xara as being more paint orientated, so I will be interested to see about what you are saying.

    Re: PSP X2:Text with a white background

    Just to top up. I wanted to do the select last so that it could be made to fit the text, rather than vice versa. Hence the extra steps.

    Ok. Thanks. I thought there may be a straight way.

    However, I will check Xara again. I tried it a few years back and it was buggy and strange. I think it was right at its inception (??) . Ahah! We...

    While I have used PSP for years to adjust photos, I have made very little use of the raster and vector parts.

    Re: .raf files and PSP X2

    Hi Steve.

    I am not sure about the decoder. FinePix Viewer can look at RAF files, and edit them (although rather limited and very clunky and slow) but I am not sure about a decoder as such.

    Re: History Quickscripts. Where are they?

    So does anyone like the idea of being able to link the history to a picture, either directly or by export/import?

    Needless to say I do <G>
