Using Custom Workspaces in PaintShop Pro

The workspace in Corel PaintShop Pro consists of palettes, toolbars, and open images. You may find that the way you arrange the workspace while editing photos may differ from the arrangement while using the Web tools. Fortunately, Corel PaintShop Pro lets you save and use any number of workspace arrangements.

Important! Workspace files do not include an actual copy of any open images. Workspace files only reference the name and location of an image. If you delete an image from your computer, the image will not appear in the workspace.


Saving custom workspaces

When you save a workspace, Corel PaintShop Pro saves the information in a PSPWorkspace file. The following information is stored:

You can load a custom workspace. Tool, menu, and palette positions change to reflect the workspace you are loading.

If you had two windows open for the same image when you saved the workspace, they both open again. If an image from the workspace is already open, Corel PaintShop Pro applies the workspace settings to the open image.
