Important Notes Regarding Animation Shop PSP X users: "Update Back to Animation Shop" is included in the update/patch 10.02 for PSP X (at corel.com). It is available as an 'Unused Command' that can be restored as a menu item using the Customize dialog. Users of PSP 8 and newer: The .PSPIMAGE file format used in newer versions of Paint Shop Pro is not compatible with the currently released version of Animation Shop (v.3) and users of PSP 8, 9 and X (10) must change the FILE TYPE when saving an image for use in Animation Shop. If you are using PSP version 8.01, select the OPTIONS button, then select the radio button to 'save as PSP7 compatible'. If you have a newer version ...Animation Shop has been added as a 'file type'. Use the SAVE AS command and the dialog box will give you the option to change the FILE TYPE to Animation Shop.
