Saving in psp

[shedevil73]

Hello
I have Paint Shop Pro 23.
I do my work and save it in pspimage to my work folder.

If I go to another folder, to pick another element let say, the same image saves there.
It's another copy. So if I go to another 10 different folders, during the same work, it is saves there so I have10 copies all over.
How do I stop that?

Thanks

This doesn't answer your question, but do you really need PSP2023? I know it offers some impressive features but do you really need them. If so, fine. And in that case I'd suggest you re-install it. Nothing to loose.
The reason for my question is that I use PSP9 - really! And it does everything I need and it's fast - most important. Fast to run and fast to power up. And I feel I'm in control.
If re-installing doesn't solve your problem try PSP9 - the best JASC release in my opinion. It may be a revelation!

I must agree with geo3geo... I miss my older versions of PSP. I ended up having to upgrade (from 6 to 2023) and its been nothing but a nightmare for a year now. Like, why did they do away with the ability to right click a layer and VIEW CURRENT ONLY? Any VIEW option really, it's now "upstairs" and takes multiple clicks to get to. And, you can no longer see which layer you have selected without having to hover over the tab. And, they eliminated the tool which was a vector select... now you can select both vector and raster with the same tool but it doesn't indicate what type of layer you selected. You can't pin palettes anymore! Nor is there an option to make the palette (layers and materials mainly) an auto-hide flyout... it's always open or always closed! And I have seen tutorials where the image screen is made smaller so IF you have a palette open, your image isn't always under the palette... but I can't figure out how to resize that! So much more I find irritating, if anyone else wants to discuss...

I'm really hoping someone who knows more PSP23 than me can convince me it's not a piece of cumbersome junk...

I actually downloaded and installed PSP23 to see what what was on offer. What a huge piece of software. And it seems the really interesting AI stuff costs a few hundred pounds extra for the plug-in! The basic PSP23 offering really wasn't that much different from what my my PSP9 does. Initial reaction was that it was overly complex, would take a lot of learning my way round, and was slow. I deleted it after a day! I think moving to this it would have knocked a big hole in my productivity.

As a bit of an aside, but AI related, you can use Udio AI online for free to generate images as part of their AI audio offering. Some interesting results. No doubt there are others (?)

And another aside, the need for old fashioned digital imaging is declining as phone cameras, or rather the software behind the lens, gets ever more sophisticated. I don't use my Canon camera anymore, my Samsung Galaxy A13 phone (quite basic by current offering standards) does a better job!
