Paint Shop Pro happenings

Trevor Frew

You might have guessed that I spend a lot of my life reading newsgroups. I use Forte Agent, because when I download a group of messages, I can read them when offline weeks or months later.

Currently I have these PSP messages:


Scrapbooking 2,229
Scripting 2,761
PSP8 1,829
PSP9 11,837
Photography 54,875

Note that the latest version is not included because when I last looked there were about 30,000 or more for the current version: Paint Shop Pro X. 



The latest message for scrapbooking was:
Recipe of the Month
PSP Scrapbooking.

I like it, except for one small problem (and Lori and Angela are laughing
their butts off right now....) - I don't cook.
You want a recipe for  
popcorn? Toast? Campbell's Soup?

Soup for You
  1. Open can.
  2. Pour in pan. Add ONE can water, cold, hot, doesn't matter as long as it's H20.
  3. Heat at some temperature till it looks hot but not till it boils away or burns to the bottom. If it DOES burn to the bottom, do not scrape pan excessively, and tell yourself those black specks are fresh-ground pepper.
  4. Serve with saltines. If you're having company over, put saltines on a plate so you look half-civilized.
Seriously - it's a good idea, and I have an idea that I've been working on that might work real well with the concept!

EXIF Header

I did get a response from Corel:

Only a couple fields in EXIF can be edited using Paint Shop Pro. They are Artist Comments, Image Title, and Date Taken. These can be changed in Image Information and are recordable in a script.

Not what I wanted to hear, but I appreciated the reply.

Is there a reason why PSP can only change three fields in the EXIF? Besides the fact that there are many fields, and PSP doesn’t want to support a massive (camera specific) dialog with it all.

I have found some python code that decodes EXIF. Google EXIF_py.
