The PSP file is an image file often created with Corel PaintShop Pro, a powerful image-editing program used for graphic design and image manipulation. The file format is based on the popular Windows bitmap format, the BMP format, which makes it compatible with other image-editing programs such as Photoshop, Corel PhotoPaint, and Adobe Illustrator.
The PSP file extension allows images to be saved with layers, metadata, or other special effects that have been applied to the graphics. It also supports transparency in the file and can compress small sections of the image to make them occupy less disk space. Furthermore, it supports a wide variety of text formats such as RTF, Rich Text Format, for easily saving complicated text-layouts. Additionally, subtitle effects such as text shadows can be added onto the images.
File Versions
Most versions of PaintShop pro have their own version of this file type referred to as a version x.y file where x is the major release version and y is the minor release or patch number, This way differing versions of the file can be differentiated. Most commonly this is found in version 9.0 and above. There are also other image formats that are similar to PSP including JPEG, TIFF, BMP, and GIF. Users should take care when dealing with images that require advanced features offers by a specific version of PaintShop Pro.
Common Uses
The PSP File format is most often used in professional environments where high quality images are required without sacrificing too much file size. It is also a popular choice for creating graphics for web applications due to its small file size adjusted for the best quality setting. It’s ability to store layers makes it a strong contender for use in photomontages or other compositing design work.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PSP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PSP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PSP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PSP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PSP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PSP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PSP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PSP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PSP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PSP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
