Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3 (is getting on my nerves).

As I (think) I said in a previous post somewhere, PSP could be better in some ways - but I'm used to it, I'm not a professional photographer, and I couldn't be bothered taking the time and effort to learn Adobe Photoshop.

But it is *really* starting to get on my nerves now.

YAPB for Wordpress allows you to use IPTC data to automatically name the your blog posts and add tags to the the blog posts.

Which would be perfect *except* when I try to add tags to a .pspimage file - I get a message saying "Storing metadata to the selected filetype is not supported".

What??

What the hell is the point of having a nice 'organizer' view which allows you to add tags on mass and assign them to your original images, when their own filetype does not support it??

Corel - this really beggars belief...

OK - So maybe I can try and save it in .tiff format so I don't lose any image quality on my original image. NO!!!

"...NO EXIF information will be saved. Would you like to continue?"

Arrrrggghhhhh... Now I'll lose the date the photo was taken on and can't automatically use it as a post date in Wordpress..

Doh!

OK - Maybe I should have gone down the Photoshop route after all....
