PSP Preset Shapes - product details
Convert font into PaintShop Pro shapes
All the PSP shapes sets on the site have their origins as fonts in one way or another. PSP is an unusual application in that it does not make it easy to import vectors into the application - you can only import them via fonts unless you use PaintShop Pro preset shapes format. All other formats are rasterized on import into PSP. To create my presets in psp, I use a pre-created font and then use a text file with 100 characters pre-defined which can be selected and used with the text tool in PSP - each PSP text field is then converted into a set of multiple character shapes - there is a slight error with the conversion of the font and psp with psp 8 so I often use PSP X3 to do the right click convert of text to preset. I then save the entire file of all 100 converted character designs down to the lowest format I wish to use, such as psp 8. All the layers / characters are given a unique name otherwise psp might display a duplicate error. I then save all the designs individually via the export to psp shape format (I have a custom palette set up for this as that makes it a lot easier than going back and forth between menus). All the font characters for the arc are now in pspshape format and can be used with the various tools in PaintShop Pro.
PSP shapes format: PSPshape / JSL for Paint Shop Pro
The shapes are all in PSPshape format (for most of all of the shapes packs). The shapes are stored in the earlier JSL format for the collection set. The pspShape format stores a single shape vector design, the JSL format stores multiple vector shapes. Both formats can be opened in all the recent versions of PSP.
The artworks are now created in PSP shape format 8, and can be used with all versions up from 8
How to install the preset shapes in PSP
To install the PSPShape files for use in Paint Shop Pro, you must first find the location of the install folder for your version of Paint Shop Pro, this can be found via the PSP file menu and preferences command and file locations (preset shapes). You can either use the existing file location for the PSP shapes or you can create a new folder for the files, it is up to you. Once found, place the PSPShape files in that location and then re-start PSP.
You can also click the file location button in the preset shapes palette to set the location for the shapes
Access the PSP shapes files via preset shapes tool - below, see the tool in corel PaintShop Pro X5 but the same approach for X4 X3 to version 8 (before that, the format changed)
Re-coloring preset shapes tutorial in PaintShop Pro
The designs are vectors and are stored with an arbitrary color (in most cases though some of the sets have bonus itemsand other color effects attached to the PSP shape design). Before you apply a preset shape to a document, set the color to be used by the preset PSP shape via the materials palette.
You will have to de-select the retain option so you can override the original preset shape color.
You can also change the color (or the other color options as well as adding a grain to the PSP shape) via the object selection tool. Click on the vector properties button on the tool options palette, the dialog will allow you to modify the color (though sadly not in real time as it only changes after you click the OK). The fill and the stroke can be modified, and unlike many software, the stroke can also be a tile as well as including grain information.
Adding a grain to the vector design allows for a wonderful range of distressed and grunged vector designs.
Saving the preset shape as a new vector PSP shape
You can use the design as supplied but if you wish to save the current vector shape as a new PSP shape (PSPShape format), say you have added a new stroke or tile to the design, then you will also have to modify the name in the vector properties - the reason being that PSP will complain if it finds a duplicate layer name in its loaded shapes (though different versions handle this better). Change the name via the vector properties or via the layer panel. Once you have changed the name, you can then go to the file menu followed by export command and shape option and give the design a new file name (unless you want to over-write an existing file) and you will then see the new shape in the shape palette.
PSP shape and layers
If the shape is created as a vector then it is created on a new layer, though subsequent added vector designs are added to the new vector layer.
To create a new vector layer without an actual vector design then go to the layers menu and select new vector layer
Crop tool and the PaintShop Pro preset shapes
If you crop the document, the vector shape layer remains untouched. The vector design can be still moved and rotated and the vector design is not reduced down to the size of the remaining document
PaintShop Pro preset shapes and organizer
You can also use the organizer feature of PSP to scan through all the shapes you have, simply point to the folder and small thumbnails will be generated of all the shapes found (PSPShape format) - the quality of the image generated is less then desirable though. It does mean that you can sort and print out all the shapes designs found on your machine, something the PSP shapes browser cannot do.
Font shapes for PaintShop Pro
In the last year or so, there has been no more pspshape sets as the font sets are basically the same and work in the same way in Paint Shop Pro - you can also turn the font designs into PSP shapes by right clicking the font / type designs. There are now over 150 additional font sets all work perfectly in PSP.
PSP shapes > Fonts
The preset shapes sets are only a small small selection of shapes on this site for use with PaintShop Pro. The fonts are also a great source of designs for use in PaintShop Pro. It is very easy (and quick) to convert the text tool designs into pspshapes - just right click the text designs and convert to preset shape. The fonts, though, can be used as preset shapes anyway. You can add gradients, solid colors, patterns, textures etc to the text designs in the same way as the preset shapes. To see the 1000s of shapes, check out the font section. This is also a solution if you are using PaintShop pro 7 or psp 6 or 5, simply use the text designs as shapes instead of JSL files. Likewise, the brushes sets for Photoshop mainly all contain PNG files which can be used as PSP brushes; the patterns for Photoshop generally also include PNG files which can be used as PSP patterns.
Preset shapes browser - Paint Shop Pro
You can display the available preset shapes via the tool options (you might have to go to the view menu and palettes menu to display the tool options, though by default the toolbar is displayed). The tool options will show all the shapes. You can also change the category but the third party preset shapes are only displayed when the category is ALL or PRESET SHAPES. You can also specify the file location for the shapes from this palette as well as how the thumbnails are dispayed. Select a preset shape from the palette.
Drawing with the preset shapes tool in PaintShop Pro
Use the preset shape tool to draw the vector design on the current document. There are a number of options available via the presets tool bar and these include anti alias, retain, create as vector. If the "retain" is checked then the preset shape will look as stored in the preset shape file (depending on the color at the time of creation)
If you wish to change the color of the design, then set the "retain" to OFF and then re-draw the shape and the shape will then take the current material color. You can also modify the color any time via the objects menu 'properties...'
EPS shapes are included in later sets
The latest packs of PSP preset shapes also include the designs also in EPS format, the EPS format files can be opened in PSP as a layer or image, the EPS files can also be loaded into many other software applications
Layer effects applied to psp shapes
Go to the layer palette and click the button on the right at the top of the palette
You can then add bevels, emboss, reflections, outer glow, drop shadow and more
To re-edit the effects such as bevel, click on little f in the layer palette.
PSP Preset shapes and scale, rotate
The preset shape can be re-modified / scaled via the psp preset shapes tool
To rotate, use the shape tool - goto the close to the corners and the rotate cursor will appear. Pass over the top of the corners and the scale option will appear. Hold the shift key down when you pass over the middle edge points and you can skew the shape up and down OR left to right. Hold ctrl and shift to skew in both directions.
ctrl shift and alt and click the corners - apply perspective transformation as below
PSP Preset shapes - editing shapes
Select the shape and then click the pen tool - it is just below the psp preset shapes tool. You will then see the points for the vector shape, you can now edit the actual design in countless ways. Below you can see some of the points modified by the pen tool. You can also export this shapes via the file export shape menu command.
PSP Preset shapes and manage option
You can also use the preset shapes with the manager and adjust section but you need to save the file with the shapes. You can apply cyantope, BW normal, pencil, retro soft effects via the manual section to the artworks (as below)
You can also use the adjust section in PSP to manipulate the shape designs - control the white balance, brightness, contrast, fill light, crop, clarity
