| Paint Shop Pro allows us
to customize almost anything - interface, tools, materials, etc. This customized stuff can be saved for re-using and/or sharing. On the Internet you can find lots of custom brushes,
picture tubes,
scripts.
Let's see how it works.
1. Customize the program workspace for your needs. Then pull down File > Workspace > Save and save your current workspace under some relevant name. On Windows XP, default path to Workspaces folder looks like C:\Documents and Settings\{User}\My Documents\My PSP Files\Workspaces. So you can find the saved file and send it to other PSP user via email. NB Customizing Paint Shop Pro workspace explained here and here 2. To use someone else's workspace, just copy its *.PspWorkspace file to this folder. Similarly, to use downloaded brush copy the proper *.PspBrush file to ...\My PSP Files\Brushes\; for masks, use ...\My PSP Files\Masks, and so on. 3. Alternatively, you can store resources in some other folders on your computer. Open Load Workspace dialog and click the 4. Now in your Load Workspace dialog there appears PhotoshopSkin item*. Load it. 5. Look around. Surely, it's still Paint Shop Pro. This workspace only mimics the Photoshop menu system, keyboard shortcuts, and palette locations. Some tools and commands work a bit differently; the missing Photoshop functions are subsided with nearest PSP equivalent. However, the next time you find on the Web a cool Photoshop tutorial, try to load this workspace and follow the instructions. 6. Do not forget to reload your saved workspace - the follow-up chapters were composed for Paint Shop Pro :-)
