Load Paint Shop Pro files

[TechHiker]

I sure wish there was a way to load Paint Shop Pro files.  I've tried a variety of conversion tricks through other formats but have yet to get anything to work well.

If I could get this to work I would dump Paint Shop Pro in a heartbeat.

Absolutely agree: I have a lot of files in PSP format that are the only reason I've not yet moved to Photo (I own both Publisher and Designer).

Thanks in advance!

As a former long time user of PSP, (x3 - 2019 -- always PSP Ultimate) what I do is export the PSP images as PSD images. Then they will import to Affinity with all layers intact.

Dumped PSP when their TOS changed, limiting me to 2 computers (of which 1 must be a laptop). Price is much more than Affinity Photo (3 times as much right now with the ongoing Affinity sale).

Is Affinity Photo perfect? No, but it is way ahead of PSP in quality.

Hope this helps.

Sure, this is one possible workaroud but it would require to export all the images created in the last years to PSD, definitely not feasible.

Affinity Photo is a great product, much better than PSP, and when integrated with Designer and Publisher is unbeatable for me, no discussion.

I only export the keepers myself. However, if that is the case, PSP has an excellent macro feature that would allow you to batch export. If space isn't a problem that is the way to go. If space is a problem, you can batch export to PSD / batch delete PSP.
