PaintShop Pro 2019 My First Look


Got PaintShop Pro 2019 for $29.99 as a super good upgrade deal. Had an issue actually buying it as there was no place in the popup window to buy it - I talked to the chat person on Corel's page and she added it to my cart for me and I processed the payment. It came with a bunch of content as always including some cool photos and a wonderful pluging that turns images into paintings as you see in the screen shot. It's slow as hell to process the painting, but it works.

 One interesting note is there are so MANY tools in PSP 2019 they don't all fit on the tool bar LOL. I picked the ones I will use most and left it at that. You can use the menus to get the other tools anyway when you need them.

 This is the first version of the app BTW and it does have a strange bug. Seems every new version has issues with selection tool and the cropping tool to some extent. 2019 when you try to move the crop tool a small amount under zoom will jump and move it a great deal of distance. As well when moving the crop tool to the bottom of the page it will NOT scroll, but scrolls in all other directions automatically when you hit the edge.

 The default color scheme is not acceptable as it's hard for me to see things when it's all very bright - so I set it to the dark mode. You have several options of how light or dark you want the interface BTW.

 There is however NO place to set file locations in the settings and this is a right bother as it's hard to find in the world where it put's things (it's in the program folder). This makes it hard to use all your old presets and content as you have to move them to the new folder. That is a bother to say the least.

 The normal price of this app is a bit much I think and I would never have upgraded if the discount price was not so low. That being said It's a wonderful tool.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
