Paint Shop Pro Problems

Fri Oct 15, 2004 12:23 pm

I swear by Paint Shop Pro 8, but last night I came across a major problem. :( When I was making a background, I was rotating the brush. Now, for some reason, it won't just paint when I click. I have to click and drag. And it gets better! It automatically, randomly, rotates itself. I don't know how to fix it! :( Anyone have any ideas that doesn't involve me reinstalling since I forget where I got my brushes at?

Hmmm... I tend to get little problems with PSP as well on occasion, generally with the paintbrushes. Lat night when I was using it, the brush kept doing this really weird thing where it would paint normally for it bit, but as I dragged, it would slowly become less and less opaque, eventually fading out so that it wasn't putting down any more color, period. The problem go fixed when I restarted my computer, though. It usually does. If you haven't restarted since that happened, then that might solve the problem. Otherwise, I'm not sure.

Go into your brush file and save all your brushes to a floppy disk. Then you'll have them all safe so you can re-install it^^

I'm a PSE person meself, so I've never really understood you PSP people. Sorry that I can't be of more help.

Apricus: Glad to know I'm not the only one with problems from time to time. I'll restart first, and see if that fixes it. It's weird because it's started going in and out. o_O

Amethyst: We PSPers are a special breed we are :D

This has happened to me before - there's a nice, simple solution, which can be found here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/ic ... 69878.html
