There are some items here I would buy, most from victorias, but they say psp tubes and I only own Photoshop CS. Anyway to import or convert the psp? Thanks, Marque

There are two programs that I know of:

One is called Tube-ex.

and the other is donation ware at this site called>
PSP Format

http://telegraphics.com.au/sw/ Tube-ex just converts the tub to png and the paint shop format filter allows you to use it directly in Photoshop.

No need to pass, you don't have to buy the filter, its free....you can donate if you want.

Download the trial version of PSP after you buy the items. Open up your tubes in PSP, then save a copy as a PSD file. PSP does handle PSD files V6 and below. I assume CS will open the PSD file created by PSP.

I would ask the vendor if they would provide the "tubes" in .psd format....it's easier to save the image as a psd file than it is to make a tube out of it.... Also I would read the vendor's notes carefully because of lot of them these days say PSP tubes but in actuality they are in psd or png format instead of PaintShop Pro format so that many more users can use them and make their own tubes if they want them.

I just figured she used psp and didn't have photoshop. I will ask her. Good idea. Marque

I open it in PSP and then save it as a PNG. Then open it in PS. From there you can save it in any format you want. (:

She may not have Photoshop but she can save the file as a .psd in Paint Shop Pro easier than it is to make a tube out of it. PSP can save in .psd and open .psd files. That's why so many people have started making "Tubes" that are really .psd files. She would open the door to more customers if she would do that.

She said she will do it later. Marque

Have you tried Kel's tubes -- Outlaw By Design? She always works in .psd format so just about any graphics app can use'em, not just PSP. Info & many beautiful free samples here: http://www.outlawsdesign.com/index2.html. Excellent quality and the service & price can't be beat. :-)

Download link is down the page under "Software". OOps that link is giving me a 404...Here's one that works... http://pircnet.com/downloads/tube-ex.zip

TubeExtractor (or Tube-Ex) will convert the Picture Tube to the PNG format (which is supported by all new graphic applications and web browsers)Tube Extractor will save the image and the Alpha channel into the PNG 32. ( for example Photo-Brush supports loading nozzles from 32 bit PNG) You can also let TubeEx to separate alpha channel and to divide the tube into separate image cells.
