What Software Best

[Lindy Lops]

I love Lucille's background papers and although I have followed the tutorial on how to design them, can never get them as good, just wondering what other people use to design background papers, I use 20/20. Linda

I've got 20/20 but can't get it to install it on my W7 computer so I use Paint Shop pro.
OOPs just tried to install it again and voila it's done it, no it hasn't LOL

[DJG]

You can use MCS but there isn't as much choice of what you can do compared to PSP

[Lucille]

More often than not I use 20/20 to make the tile, then I use PSP8 to make the papers.

Hi Linda, I'm new to the site, & I use MCS & also have Coral Paintshop Photo Pro, but what's the 20/20 you all mentioned? Carole

[Lucille]

I fond PSP8 does what I need a program like that for which is only repairing old photos and making the odd paper, I think I paid £30 for it about 4-5 years ago, it might even be cheaper than that now.

This was a free programme I'm not sure if it's still available the date on mine says 2001

You can still get it, I downloaded and install about a month ago.

I installed the one I downloaded about five years ago (or so I thought) this morning but it just kept saying 20/20 has stopped working. I looked for it on the net this morning to see if there was a later version but I couldn't find it at all Lucille. Maybe it's my computer that's the problem, it's W7 64bit

[Lucille]

I'm running Win 7 64 bit and it installed and worked fine, so I can't see that's the problem.

[DJG]

It must be my software that's got a problem then

[Lucille]

You could use CCleaner to remove it, then check the folder has gone and run the registry cleaner, then download it again and reinstall.

[DJG]

Just found it here if anyone wants to try it, I've installed it but it must be conflicting with one of my (many) other programmes because I get the message below. I think I'll stick with PSP.

[Lucille]

It might be worth doing a Google search of the problem, surely if there was a conflict it would say more than that. I get that same message from all sorts of programs on and off, but I just ignore it as none of my programs have stopped working permanently, it seems to happen a lot, not every time, with Inkscape when I open my font manager, too many fonts for it to load and it just gets

[DJG]

I did have a look this morning but couldn't find anything so I just uninstalled it. i haven't used it since I got W7 nearly 2 years ago and had forgotten that I had the programme saved on a usb pendrive (till you mentioned you'd used it the other day) so I won't miss it
