Corel®
PaintShop Pro's Auto-Preserve folder



Information


When working with images, it is highly recommended creating duplicate copies instead of working on the original file. This is to maintain the original images from being distorted from any previous editing. By default, Corel® PaintShop Pro saves the original files from the edited photos in an Auto-Preserve folder once theSave option is selected. By default however, the Auto-Preserve folder is hidden within Windows® and it cannot be seen until Windows® is told that this folder needs to be visible. The following steps in this article will explain not only how to enable or disable the Auto-Preserve folder, but also how to make a hidden folder visible within Windows® in order to be visible in Corel® PaintShop Pro.
