I haven't used Paintshop Pro for about twenty years so I'm not familiar with what it needs.

I'm trying to cut down on the images on the hard drives in my computer - backing the full sized ones to external drives. But I can't eliminate any of the photos - I am archiving old family photos with the idea that no one will need to re-scan them. I scan at extremely high resolution to TIFFs, then I convert to full size JPEGs. After that I downsize to smaller JPEGs, edit those and post online.

Between my family and my husband's we have thousands of old photos going back over one hundred and fifty years. Some are the original tintypes, some are the original glass slides, most are the original medium/large format (about 4x5&quot negatives. A few we have the old prints made from the negatives - many all we have are negatives.

Until I started this project most of these pictures had not been seen by anyone currently alive.
