Working with Dialogs

Dialogs are windows that open when you choose certain Paint Shop Pro commands. Use them to select and preview command options. All dialogs remember where you last positioned them on the screen and re-open in the same location.

Most dialogs have the following features in common:

Preview windows Zoom and navigate to see before and after views of changes. See Using Preview Windows.

Presets Saved settings, or scripts, that you can use to make quick changes to images. Use the presets that come with Paint Shop Pro or create your own. For more information on creating and using presets, refer to Using and Creating Presets.

Numeric edit controls The controls that you use to select a value. See Editing Numeric Values.

Color boxes The box you click to select a color. See Using Color Boxes.

Randomize parameters button A button you click to try out random settings in the dialog. See Randomizing Parameters.

Resize Handle A handle in the lower right corner of the dialog used to change the size of the dialog. See Resizing a Dialog.
