PaintShop Pro save as file type

I still use a very old piece of kit for working with images, called PaintShop Pro 9. The last update was in something like 2003.

However, it works.

There has just been one niggle that I have had, and I FINALLY got around to solving it recently. Each time I 'save as' on an image, the programme defaults to a 'psp' file, which is a format that I don't use.

I wanted to know how to always save as a jpg.

And now I know how.

Go to File | Preferences | General Program Preferences | Display andCaching | select "Re-use last type in file save-as dialog".

Once you tick that, when you save the next file as a jpg, the programme will remember. Who knew it was SO easy.

So much time wasted in changing file types for so long!

  1. Wish I’d known this 20 years ago, been using PSP since v7 when you could edit a date in the registry to keep using the trail version.

    1. Ha, ha: yes! I have been using it since v4, and that was even easier to use. The newer versions are much more complicated. Still a loyal customer though :-)
