I just received this request for help:
I am having a problem lately with my Paint Shop Pro and my Animation Shop. I have tried 3 tutorials, (2 for blinkies and 1 for a glitter sig). I am doing fine with the PSP part but when I try to open the PSP file in Animation Shop, it says its not a valid psp file. Is this because I am using 9.0, and all the tutorials are for 7.0? This is something I have been trying to learn for quite some time now. I was wondering if somehow you could help me out? I’ve emailed 5 people.. no one has gotten back to me yet Please reply back at yakidil69@hotmail.com… if you can, and when you have the time! It would help me out very much!
TY!
