Creating new vector shapes from existing designs tutorial

Sadly, PSP does not include an import command that imports the design as a vector.

 

The easiest way to create a new vector design (short of using the pen tool in PaintShop Pro etc) is via a font and the text tool.

 

Type a character (via the keyboard) and then use the convert to character shapes command in PaintShop Pro

X3 (X4) and PSP shapes

There are, as far as I can see, no new obvious features associated with PSP shapes in X3 and X4 (compared with 8) - though perhaps there has been changes to the underlying code.

 

PaintShop Pro X3 and X4 does offer some of its own vector tools though, such as the rectangle and ellipse and the symmetric tool and they offer additional ways of creating vector shapes.

 

There also appears to be no way of adding and excluding and subtracting vector shapes (though I stand to be corrected)

Export and PSP shapes

Another feature that would be nice (considering how many formats PSP can save to) would be the export of vector information to WMF, SWF, AI etc but sadly this appears not to be the case and the designs appear only as a bitmap.

 

The pasteboard also offers no vector features it seems as the design on being copied becomes a raster design.
