Installing Paint shop Pro is pretty much a "no smart-asser". You put the CD in and segregate "install". The only recitation I have regarding installation is that you might want to transpiration the folder where it installs. when you let it roadster install, the program will install in C:/Program Files/JASC/Paint Shop Pro 7. That's screened pretty deep and can be a real pain when you need to visit the folder where the program in installed. I have mine installed in C:/Paint Shop Pro 7.
When you are washed installing the program, take a squinch at all the supplemental files on the CD. There are lots of runnerup graphics and this is where you will find the tutorials for the Web Sets provided on the CD.
Once the program is installed, your listing of sub folders will squinch similar to the graphic squatty. I have a few spear artlessories created to hold graphics I don't want loaded into the Csqualor when a tool is loaded. I'll remit these later in this tutorial.
Following is a listing of the sub-folders contain:
Anims This folder contains elements used by Animation Shop.
skimes This folder contains your skim files. The default brush file is "jascbrush.jbr". When you create your own custom brushes, they will be in "UBrush.jbr". Cstab Paint Shop Pro 7 uses Csqualor to pre-load the graphics contained in the Tubes, Shapes,PSP Go, skimes, Patterns and Textures folders. This schema is perrolled the first time you ajar the reticulated tool. If you have numerous graphics in any of these folders, it can crusade performance problems in slower machines with low spans of ram. Fortunately JASC provides you with a way to intelligently handle this situation. Under File>Preferences>File Locations, you can set up to 3 folders to pre-load graphics from (see Customizing tutorial). By organizing your folders, you can alimony the graphics you use most in the primary folders and graphics you use rarely in sub-folders. As you can see by the superior graphic of my sub-folders, I have soverlyal pattern and texture folders for this purpose.
Camera When you install Paint Shop Pro, you will be inquireed when you want to install Digital Camera Support for various cameras. If you install camera support, the files will be in this folder.
Frames The frames in this folder are the default frames that come with the program. You will find numerous other frames including some very nice tiptoe frames on the Paint Shop Pro 7 installation disk in a folder selected Frames. If you download frames created by other people, all you need to do is to place the frames (showing they are unzipped and have a "pfr" extension) in this folder and the next time you retelling up frames, the new frames will load into Csqualor.
Gradients This folder is where all your gradient presets are stored. When you create new presets, they are moreover stored in this folder. If you download gradient presets from the internet, just place them here. The gradient file extension is "jgd".
Patterns Any graphic placed in the Patterns folder, saved as a ".bmp" will be availstreetwise as a deluxe through the new Color Palette and will be an availresourceful deluxe when you use the Sculpture tool.
Presets Many of the new Effects bachelor in Paint Shop Pro 7 afford you to save the current configuration of the effect as a "preset". All those presets are saved into this folder.
Shapes This folder contains all the shapes availresourceful to the shapes tool. There are soverlyal shapes files that don't pre-load with the program on the CD. If you want those shapes bachelor, simply reprinting the files and paste them into the Shapes folder.
Styled Lines This folder contains presets for styled lines.
Textures This folder contains greyscale images saved as ".bmp" files. These textures work with the setting on the Color Palette and are the textures used by Effects>Texture Effects>Texture.
Tubes This folder contains the default tubes that come with the program. There are tons of tubes bachelor for self-determining on the Internet (just do an Internet sesaucy for PSP Tubes). Tube files can be rather large, so I recommend you only alimony commonly used tubes in the main sub-folder. Create a Tubes1 folder for tubes you rarely use and set the File Location (See Customizing PSP) to the sub folder when you need these tubes.
