REDUCING
ARTIFACTS
A saved JPG image often contains artifacts--little ripples and
specs that take away the clarity of an image. Here's a way to
reduce the appearance of artifacts in Paint Shop Pro 6: Simply
click on the Image menu and choose Noise, Median Cut. Doing so
will clear out some of the artifacts and smooth the overall appearance.
Paint Shop Pro 7 includes a built-in Reduce JPG Artifacts filter,
which offers much more control. |

When
you're working with the Shapes tool, you can switch from one shape
to another simply by employing the Shift key. For instance, if
you're using the Ellipse shape, and you need to create a circle,
there's no need to switch from the Ellipse shape to the Circle
shape. With the Ellipse shape selected, simply hold down the Shift
key to get a perfect circle. You can switch from the Rectangle
to the Square in the same way. This technique comes in handy when
you need to create various shapes in composite drawings. |

somewhere on your hard drive for the new ones you are downloading.
If you save all of the tubes, frames, patterns, shapes, and so
forth into the existing Paint Shop Pro folders, Paint Shop Pro
7 will become sluggish in creating a cache for them and will sometimes
crash. You can create as many folders as you want to organize
your PSP items. Then in Paint Shop Pro got to File/Preferences/File
Locations and point PSP to the new folders You made.
