please hit *selections* so it is highlighted,

then on the right hand side hit the *add* button

step 3.

another box pops up

highlight the *my documents*

(do not open it tho)

at the left side of the my documents

their is a plus sign

hit that little plus sign!

step 4.

scroll down the list and find & highlight

the *my psp files* folder

(do not open it tho)

as before just hit the little plus sign

step 5.
scroll down and find the
*selections* folder

(you will do this for every script

you wish to run)

Step 1.

unzip your script,

once unzipped it will look like the screenshot!

*my psp files*

look for the one called *selections*

and double click that open

step 7.

find a gap

and *paste* in that folder of selections

you just copied!

step 8.

now repeat steps 2 -5

again but instead of copying the *selections folder*

you will copy the *script file*

then at step 6

you will now see a lot of folders

look for the one called *Script-Restricted*

and double click that open,

find a gap and paste it in their!

Now Part 3

of  *how to run a script*

(you will do this for every script

you wish to run)

step 1.

open your Paintshop Pro X again

and look for the little arrow

as shown in the screenshot

step 2,

make sure *scripts-restricted*

is at the top of the list!

if it is not, then scroll down the list

hit it to bring up to the top

step 3.

now scroll down your list of scripts and

find the one you want to run!

step 4.

hit the bigger arrow as shown

in the screenshot below

(the No.2 arrow is pointing to it)

step 5.

just follow the instructions that pop up

during the running of your script

along the way!

Note:

you can always find a better place to store

your *my psp files folder*

in case of a computer crash!

BUT remember to re-direct

 everything again or the

 scripts won't run!

hope this little Tutorial wasn't too

difficult for you!
