Not sure if this could be your issue, but...with regards to PaintshopPro...

If you buy brushes from the store and not from within the application, you will get an installer, but they won't show as "purchased" within the app. I don't think they come with a serial number though. They are on my other machine so I can't check right now. If you purchase brushes from within the app, they will show as purchased within the app. But if you purchase them in PSP, they won't show as purchased in Corel Painter though. Or Visa vera. Just the app you bought them in.

If you buy them from within the app, and you need to re-install from within Painter, then is a menu option to re-install past purchases. I think it is under the Brush menu. I haven't had to do this in PSP so I'm not sure if there is the same option there.

In Painter, they changed they way this works for the newer brushes. The re-import option didn't work. But they showed purchased within the app, and I clicked on it and it asked me if I wanted to re-install.

The was one stinky change that I didn't like about how this works now. The brushes used to work in Painter and PaintshopPro via ParticleShop regardless of how you bought them, although getting them to show up in all the apps was sometimes a challenge. But I bought the new brush pack from within Painter, but they didn't show up in ParticleShop. I contacted Support and they said there is a different installer for both which means I would have to buy that large brush pack twice. I figured I wasn't going to buy the same brushes twice just so I could have them in all my apps.

I'm pretty sure I bought them and installed them in Particle Shop. I haven't got Painter although Particle Shop appears in a sub-menu called Painter. PSP has a "Restore Purchases" option in it's help menu but this doesn't work. I can't find anything in Particle Shop to do this.

I've opened a ticket with Corel, I'll see what they come up with.

Yes. I found that and I was going to come back and add that. Do your brushes show purchased in the panel where you buy more content? If so, have you tried clicking on the word "Purchased". Painter 2018 started crashing at start up and I had to reset it and all of my brushes were gone. I did the restore purchase but only part of my brushes came back. Not that big brush pack that I had just purchased. I was upset and I contacted Support, but while I was waiting to hear back, I clicked on the word purchase and it re-installed my brushes. When I heard back from Support, they sent me the installer for them. So I'm covered either way.

Ron Deviney ROCKS!

I own lots of his brushes (and want more). I started with GIMP but now subscribe to PS CC. I have upgraded PS versions twice since I started the subscription, which I figure would have cost me much more than the $120 bucks per year that I spend on the subscription.

They don't show up under purchased and the All Brushes panel wants to sell them to me. I tried clicking on Buy Now to see if it would remember that that I have already bought them, but it just comes up with a box asking for credit card details.

Ok yeah, that's it then. Not in US. I don't like to download software either. I like an actual cardboard box in hand. I noticed a lot of popups yesterday when I installed PSP 2018. It kept trying to get me to buy brushes, Particle shop and other things. I have to keep clicking the x to close the box. I mean I paid for the program outright, so quit having popups in my face each time I open it.

I'd think when you give them your serial number for your PSP, they'd have no choice but to give them to you. Do you have a confirmation emai from when you bought it?

...yeah, here you have to pay extra for extended download coverage and/or a hard media backup (which is still on DVD [that can become corrupted with time] instead of USB).

I also find the popup after closing to be annoying. About the only thing I use PSP for anymore is adding text to graphics or doing minor edits/changes to textures.

I tested a programme called Exposure X3 which has much nicer preset filters, including ones that mimic actual film brand/historical types, and effects (it also allows for creating your own custom filters as well) and includes two applications, one for enlarging images without loss of quality and another for more "artistic" effects.

As it is, I have been using Gimp which does support .abr brushes for PS (not sure about the backgrounds as those are a different format). I can't have them all loaded so I only have the ones I use the most permanently loaded and then swap from a master folder where I keep the rest categorised.

Does anybody know the compatibility with Corel Paintshop? Asking for a friend...

...and because don't pay subscriptions for software. The only thing I rent these days is beer, water, tea, coffee, and the Oxford Comma.

I have paintshop pro 2018 and several previous versions installed too

...I quit with PSP when they went to download only. Don't mind direct DL for "freeware" but if I pay 80$ for a programme I want backup media with an installer as well for no extra charge should I need to do a clean install after a system upgrade or repair.

In 2016 I bought PSP Ultimate X9 that came to me in a box, and a couple months ago I got the PSP Pro 2018 delivered to me in a box. I don't know if you're in the US or overseas, but here it comes in a box.

I'm in Australia and if you buy the full version not just update you also get two options of either 2 year redownload option or a copy of the full programe plus an extras that were offered on disc for about another $10 once or twice I only went with the update but others like this 2018 version the full version and extras were so so cheap massive discount went that way which I prefer and got the back up disc as well

Yes, I can use all Ron's brushes, but even PSP2018 won't install any newer ones from Giltter going forward. I bought Glitter and somethng else and had to return them both. I complained because at the time, the product page said they would support CS. But clearly they didn't. I told Daz they need to change that wording because it's misleading. Tells me my program doesn't support it. And I have PSCS2 which is ancient and it works with all Ron's older brushes, but won't work with Glitter and newer and I get the same message about the brush format is newer than my program will support. I don't want to keep converting to png just to use them. Sad? Yes I am, but I can't justify (or afford) a PS subscription, and I don't have need for any of the other stuff that's offered with it.
