PSP X7

[Nickel]

Does anyone has checked it already out?

I have downloaded the Demo yesterday and i am thrilled about the features they have.

LOVE the 'Magic Fill' ... it's just amazing!

To cut out something you don't like on an image, make a selection and use the Magic Fill.

Et voila ... it's gone. It's soo easy!

Had a quick play today ... 


EDIT: i deleted the tag, just remembered no blank tags are allowed. Sorry

I have PSP 7, 8, and 9 and I've never found a tut that I can't do with 9, which I use all the time.
Newer versions have never fascinated me. LOL

I have all three versions on this old pc and it's never slowed it down but another one might kill it.
Glad to see that there's a new effect with 7 though.
Thanks for sharing, Nickel.

[Nickel]

Hey Susy, i am talking about the newest version of PSP 

[Huronna]

what does the before look like

[susy]

Yes, I know that it's the newest version of PSP, Nickel. LOL
That's why I said that I have 7,8,and 9 and have never needed any other.
Can't afford it. LOL

What am I missing here?

As far as I know it's Paint Shop Pro X7.
OK, I forgot to add the X to the X7 when I posted before.

[Betsy (RIP)]

I have X2 on my PC and 9 on my laptop. I don't think I'll get any others. That image looks good Nickel, but I'd like to see the before, too.

[Marcinha]

My last version was X5 but I may take a look on the new one... who knows? I may like it LOL
Thanks for the info Nickel...

I was wondering about that feature. Will it make it unnecessary to tube? I wondered by the description. I'm such an idiot and try each new version that comes along. I'm currently using X5 but I also have X6. In the beginning I had a hard time accessing my plugins but it's working great now. I'll probably wait until X7 gets really cheap or maybe, if it does the tubing for you, it might be worth getting now.

[Huronna]

Well I found the original image and I don't see anything that has been "tubed".
I can see where the background could be repaired to removed the original bubbles and then add the animated ones. All of which could be done in PSP8
Maybe this was a one quick step to so what may have taken longer in a different version.

Wonder what else it can do

[Lainey]

There is a program that takes unwanted things out like people or Telephone lines or birds etc. from a photo and blends the background in.
It is called Inpaint (google it) as the site has a pic of a girl in a bikini so didn't want to put the link here. I know to buy it is $19.99

[Nickel]

Sorry Susy, that was a misunderstanding.

All i wanted to say was that there is a nice new feature at PSP X7 called 'Magic Fill'.
It would make life really easier, because you can remove things of an image with one single step without cloning the background.
This is what i did with my sig preview ... removing the baubles and repairing the background in one step. I'll attach two images to show the effect.

Thanks Lainey for the tipp, but i just wanted to know if there are some peeps who already tried out PSP X7

[mooneyedmarie]

I have to say that it is impressive, but i read in another group that X7 was unstable (don't what that means though) might have to try this version....thanks Nicky

[GramaAnNachos (RIP)]

AWESOME!! I just went to a site that a
video that shows you how to do what Nickel
did in her photos... Like what she showed in
her example ya just use a tool to select what
you want to remove and POOF! its gone 
I used to have a program that did that but
will all the confuzer problems and new 
replacements it got lost in the shuffle...
Thanks Nickel, that certainly looks easy
enough and would be very helpful in 
removing unwanted objects...

[Huronna]

Hmm that is impressive.
I took the two images and overlayed them and it really was amazing

[GramaAnNachos (RIP)]

WOO HOO I downloaded it and tried it, and it works... I took out a bush in one of my photos... Oops gotta' go, its time to help grampa cuss at the news...

[Inge (RIP)]

I have PSP 9 on my labtop and use that most, I also have PSP 12, which I am not very fond off...12 does not feel comfortable to me, so no, did not try 17...this old brain has a hard time learning...I am sure whatever you do, will be fantastic...hope to see some of your wonderful work, Nickelche...hugs, Inge

[EJay]

I'd have to wait and see if X7 is stable, as I had dreadful time with X4 which was the first full programme I ever bought.
I was using a 'free' PSP9 a friend had passed on and felt so guilty because I hadn't paid for it, but X4 crashed every time I accessed Animation Shop -it was dreadful. Then X6 was offered so cheap for about USD 35, I took the plunge, but still have a lot to learn on that, but I like the programme even if I don't use all the features.
I haven't been able to get PSP9 to work again with PSPX6 on my computer, although it worked with PSPX4

[susy]

You can buy PSP9 on eBay.
I was looking for one for somebody the other night and there was a couple there.
Really cheap.....I think it was like 9.99
Considering the older ones like my Anniversary PSP7 was about $100.

I have 7, 8, and 9 on my pc.

[LadyJane]

I have to wait to get PSP X7. X6 seemed a bit difficult for me but I had it on the XP so that could be the issue. The XP is in storage right now, but I may give X7 a try on the new laptop.

[Sonja]

I'm using 9 and X2, I didn't realize they had already gotten to X7. I might check it out.

[Nickel]

I have X2 so far and no probs with it at all (using WIN XP).
Now after installing X7 i can't run both programs at the same time, if i try that my XP shuts down and i have to start over  .
Have to say that i am working with two OS, MAC OSX and WIN XP .. may be that causes the problem.

It's hard to get used to X7 ... so many things has changed. 
I am missing to right click on the layer palette to chose options, there are only a few now.
Also right clicking on top of the image to copy / copy merged is missing, there is no boarder anymore.
Might be it's a settings problem and one can change it. Time will tell ...

There are two more features that i'm curious about, will check them out the next days. 

[GramaAnNachos (RIP)]

Hmmm That's interesting Nickel, be sure to let us know what you find out... I was so excited with the removal tool but haven't tried anything else with it... I guess it would be a lot of money just to have the removal tool... Thanks for the update and lookin' forward to what else you find out...

[Nickel]

I guess it would be a lot of money just to have the removal tool

I agree GB ... let's see if i can make it a bit more comfy.
And of course i will update you
