Viewing PSP files in Photoshop

There are lots of PSP users switching to Photoshop and a number of Photoshop users who admire PSP Tubes and files and each seem to think the program files are not compatible. There is good news! There is a fix to be able to use PSP files, files that are created by PaintShop Pro, in Photoshop. (I first received this wonderful information from Lara Payton, another designer):
To use those psp tubes, you have to get a psp converter plug-in. Relax, it's FREE! Also note that it says for PSP version 5-9, but it works on files created with more recent versions. http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/#pspformat ~ PSP Format is the plug-in. Put it in your Plug-in folder (while PS is NOT open), then open PS & open the file via PS. Works great!
The fix works in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements both. Note: It only opens one layer at a time, so if the PSP file has multiple layers, you'll need to keep opening it and selecting a different layer each time.

My daughter sent me this Flair on Facebook this weekend. LOL
And a fun note for us photo nuts and scrapbookers:
