The screen on my PSP 2020 is not the PSP X6 screen in the tutorial. So, I am not any further ahead after watching it than I was before.
Hello, it sounds like you may be using the Photography or Essentials workspace in PaintShop Pro 2020. Go to File > Workspace and select Complete. The Complete workspace will have the same layout as seen in this tutorial.
