PaintShop Pro (PSP) is a raster and vector graphics editor for Microsoft Windows. It was originally published by Jasc Software. In October 2004, Corel purchased Jasc Software and the distribution rights to PaintShop Pro. PSP functionality can be extended by Photoshop-compatible plugins.
From 2006 to 2011 (versions XI to X3), PaintShop Pro was marketed as "Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo". Having dropped the "Photo" part of the name in version X4, Paintshop Pro X5 was derived from Ulead Photo Explorer after Corel's acquisition of Ulead.[8]

Hi Larry - not sure what you mean by "reset my preferences" but there are a couple things you could do prior to a reinstall.
You can reset the clone tool by clicking on the tool and then click on the Presets icon on the Tools Option Palette and then click on the curved arrow icon to reset to default.
The second option is to reset the entire program to default. Here are some instructions from Corel. It references PSPX6 but works for all versions.

hi guys, i am totally in love with the look of these two pictures but i cant seem to work out how to achieve them? i am using corel paint shop pro x3, was wondering if anyone can give me some pointers?
I don't want to log in to Facebook either but generally speaking you can usually do things in PSP without plug-in as you often need with Photoshop. However if you start posting photos here that are not your own copyright then you are breaching site policy ... so try and find equivalent examples elsewhere and give us links to them
Another way to organise a vignette would be to use an adjustment layer which darkens the picture and then paint out the centre or other area you want to be revealed ... AL/brightness/contrast or levels or curves ... then a soft low opacity brush so you have to make several strokes to get the effect you are after. When painting an adjustment layer you can also use tones with the brush between black and white for a partial removal or replacement of the adjustment layer. Yet another way might be to select the area with a very large feather and then flood fill the adjustment layer with various grey tones until you get the result you want ... many ways of skinning a cat as the saying goes.
I use PaintShop Pro 7 instead of Photoshop; it's cheap and it does what I want it to do; but it's more directed towards "photoshopping" - digitally adjusting photos, fixing blemishes and removing power lines, creating art with layers, etc; it's not a good photo cataloging/management program IMO.
Such misinformation. They are both alive and well. Version 2 of Aftershot came out in spring or summer of '14 and is frequently updated. Corel is currently working on version 3. A new version of Paintshop comes out just about every year.
I suppose, when you come right down to it, I like Photoshop a little better than PaintShop but it's a close call for most actions and if a person is using Photoshop Elements they'll find PaintShop quite a bit more advanced and feature rich.
Whilst it cannot compete with full Photoshop, PaintShop Pro is miles ahead of Photoshop Elements, particularly in its support of 16-bit images.
16-bit support is very poor to non-existent in Elements.
