Dave,

Thanks for the reply. I tried .wmf, and the angles of the curves are
all messed up.

I also tried pasting out of Paint Shop Pro into Illustrator, Freehand,
and Corel Draw. All of them translate the paste into a .bmp image.

I also tried a piece of software called ImageConverter Plus to try to
convert the .psp to a .pdf. I thought maybe I could preserve the
vectors in a .pdf, but of course Corel can't export as that....

Thanks for the link...

What does this software do when I get the website to come back up?
The name of the software is "Vector Magic"?

Does it convert raw .psp files to vectors?

Another suggestion:

There is a newsgroup dedicated to Paintshop pro, which does contain some
expert views. You will need to set up a new newsgroup account:

cnews.corel.com

and then add the newsgroup:

corel.PaintShopProPhotoX2

John,

Thanks for the suggestion, I had actually been to Corel's website and
saw they had newsgroups.

But, I view these groups through groups.google.com. When I go to
this link;

http://support.corel.com/scripts/rightnow.cfg/php.exe/enduser/std_adp....?p_faqi

And click on any of the newsgroups, it wants to open my Outlook
Express and read all of the messages that way. I don't use Express
for anything, do people typically get a Newsgroup reader....or is it
possible to read them on Google's Groups....I couldn't find them
there....or can I read the newsgroups in regular Microsoft Outlook? I
see it is some sort of .dbx extension.

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

Outlook Express >is< a news reader, in addition to being an e-mail
program.
