Pasting from IrfanView to PaintShop Pro
Any others here who use both IrfanView and Paintshop Pro 8?
If so I'd be interested to know if you've had the following problem please. I open a JPG in IrfanView and use Ctrl + C to copy a section of it to the clipboard. As soon as I try to paste that with Ctrl + V into PaintShop Pro 8, it closes without warning. Well, on 95% of occasions. Strangely, a couple of times the new image has been opened correctly in PSP8, which may point to some sort of timing issue. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK |

You should be able to drag and drop a jpg straight into Paint Shop Pro and then crop the section of file you wish to retain. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Pasting from IrfanView to PaintShop Pro
I use IV for viewing and I use PSP 5 and 16. But why would
you open the image in IV in the first place if you want to work on it? As Eric said, just drop the file into PSP. I tried what you describe in PSP5 and it worked fine. Though that's the first time I've ever tried it. I don't generally use keyboard shortcuts. I use Edit - Paste as New Image. If you want to keep using the same method maybe it would be worth trying that. (It should be exactly the same thing as Ctl+V, but one never knows.)

Perhaps the Applications section of the Event Viewer would show why PSP is crashing. Could be you need to do a fresh install of PSP (uninstall it, reinstall) to step/replace any corrupted or mismatched files for the program. I don't use PSP but wonder if it has a GPU accelerated rendering mode? That is, does PSP have hardware acceleration? If so, disable it. The video driver may be too flaky to use with GPU acceleration available in some apps. For example, I have an AMD (ATI) video card and every one of its Catalyst drivers that I've tried going back 6 versions had problems with hardware acceleration in Internet Explorer and some apps (don't remember which now). The event log would show the source of the app crash was the video driver or one of its ancilliary software files. Disabling hardware acceleration in the app eliminated its crashes. Just before you drag from another app into PSP, how much free system memory is there? Did you disable the pagefile in Windows or make it real tiny? Is PSP installed on a supported version of Windows (you didn't mention your system specs)? Is DX at version 9, or later (run diagx.exe and look at the "DirectX Version" line to find out)? Is this an old or new problem? Was PSP working before and then it suddenly started crashing? Or did you install PSP and this problem has been there from the beginning of using PSP? What standard troubleshooting have you performed so far? Have you use msconfig.exe to disable all startup programs, rebooted, and retested for the problem? Have you booted Windows into its safe mode and retested? |

Wouldn't that severely limit the functionality of any image editor? How would you get new stuff into the image that you are *editing*? Personally I use layers for composite work. Not being familiar with PSP, I can think of several different ways to do that with Photoshop (PS). 1: Copy the open image to the Clipboard. Open PS, Menu-File-New. Paste from Clipboard to new image window. That just takes the image into the photo editor. 2: If you wanted to add that image to an existing image already open in PS, repeat procedure #1 above. Now you should have two different image windows, the image you want to add to and the new import. Select & copy whatever you want to paste into your original from the new import. Here is a down & dirty demo starting with an image open in PS. I then go to an image already open in Apple's Preview, I copy that image. Back to PS I choose menu-File-New and paste the copied image into the new window. Now I select the Corsair in that image making a quick rough selection with my Quick Select tool. I copy that selection and return to the first image and paste the selected image. I reposition it, and I am done. I am sure that some variation of that workflow is possible using PSP by copying from IrfanViewer to your clipboard and then pasting to PSP. either into a blank layer above your original image, or into its own PSP window. I am sure the PSP users here will correct me if I am wrong. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1295663/FileChute/AddF4U.mp4 -- Regards, Savageduck |

Just open Paint Shop Pro and drag the image icon for the JPG into it. No need to create new images, layers or anything like that. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I just demoed a way it can be dne with SW I am familiar with. However, since he asked, how well does your drag&drop method work to get the new image into the same work space of an image already open & active in PSP? -- Regards, Savageduck |
