I can't believe that I'm running two versions of PSP side-by-side, one of them new and one of them 10 years old, just because there have been changes that break compatibility. There were probably also changes to the registry with the patch, so it would likely be a nightmare to go through and only a last resort. But from what I remember, PSP 9 was quite unstable until the 9.01 patch, so I'd like to install it.ĭoes anyone know if it's possible to get hold of the patch? Any kind Corel staff member reading this who can dig it out of the archives? (NB: It's the US English version, not the International English version.)Īn alternative, given that I have the old PSP 9.01 installation backed up, would be to manually move the files that were updated with the 9.01 patch (EXE's and DLL's) to try and patch the new installation, but that would be cumbersome and risk breaking PSP9 completely. Unfortunately I don't have the 9.01 patch installer anymore, and with it being ancient (and dating back to Jasc) neither does Corel have it up for download. So, I had to install PSP 9 to go along with PSP X6 as a workaround, for opening anything that ends up butchered by PSP X6. It means that old files that use Curves as an adjustment layer don't look right, nor do my existing Curves presets, and it's virtually impossible to make curves that are actually curves and not filled with bumps. and the deal breaker is the way the Curves command works now. I've upgraded to a new PC from my ancient one, and in doing so also went from PSP 9.01 to PSP X6.īut, some of the changes that have happened in the decade since PSP 9 was released are not all that great.
