It also makes a HUGE difference in the zip documents if they are created in 200dpi.

What type of Script would I be searching for...as I said I am a total blonde when it comes to puter lingo...I have been trying to resize my kits and it just takes way too long.

Arrrrrrrrrrgghhhhhhhhh...puters...you can't live with them ... you can't live without them!!!!

What about the templates...the templates are showing up as 8x8 at 118 dpi...but when I try to copy and paste into my file that I want to build...they are much bigger than the 12 x 12 at 200 dpi that I scrap at...

I am just dang frustrated!!!!

check that's not 118 pixels/cm instead of pixels per inch. 118 pixels/cm = 300 ppi.

Well...what ever it was I lost that template...cause I don't know what I resized it to...and the whole template is messed up now...cause I accidentally saved it...and now I am just in tears and afraid to do anything to any of the kits for fear I will loose them too!!!

Christine - contact Debb Cozzi via PM, maybe she can help you get the particular template replaced.

I'm very careful about using the Save button, but what you can do is as soon as you unzip the kit, copy it to CD/DVD or another folder on your hard drive (although I would recommend an external hard drive so you don't fill up your computer hard drive). That way if something happens to your kit while you are using it, you have a backup copy that you can then COPY (not move) back into your working directory.

you also could have too many PSP temp files saved....go to
my computer>C: drive>documents and settings>your documents folder>localsettings>temp>corel paint shop pro x temp files
you can delete anything that does not have a blue title...

PSP automatically saves what you are working on and this is where they end up!
you can't view the files here, but if you open that folder through PSP you can view them and see what they are! That may help a little bit. I clear it out about once a week!

Kryss - thanks for the information - I didn't know that tidbit.

Now, if I could just solve my blend mode problem!

Thanks, I didn't know that either....

Me thinks you all need to switch to PSE!!!!

WOW I didn't know all the troubles I wasn't having!

I just cleared out a bunch of psd files yesterday.........( to my external hard drive)

It's like house cleaning.........a never ending project-

I hope you gals are finding some solutions!!!

Donna - I tried PSE, didn't like it. PSP had more functionality on some stuff. So I gave up speed for functionality.

Same here, downloaded the trial version and liked PSP so much better....although it's frustrating to see so many PSE tutorials out there and not as many PSP. I am learning to adapt the instructions though....
