For those who don't know all
three of these do something of the same thing. They are
pre-cut out images, also known as tubes, that you can
use to make graphics with. Now tub or psptube is Paint
Sho Pro's version, PSD is photohops version and PNG is
Portable Network Graphics. Now PSP comes with some tubes
but you can use any of these formats with paint shop
pro. You can export the images to your psp tubes folder
if you want but I would suggest against doing this. I'm
sure you are asking why at this point. If you start
collecting these images (and there are many sites out
there that have them for download) and you export them
all into your tubes folder to use with the picture tube
wand it will bog down. Loading all those images takes
time after all. You are better off making your own
folders and just opening the image in your paint shop
pro and copy/pasting it in.
So
now lets say you went to a site and downloaded a tube
and you wonder should you keep it in tube format or
convert it over to something else? Or you have
downloaded one that is in png or psd format, should you open
it and then save it as a tub. I would recommend, if you
can, switch them to PNG format. Now I'm sure you are
asking why. When you save in TUB or PSD you save the
parts that were removed as well as the image you see thus taking up a lot of
room. Now this is for single layer tubes not necessarily
for templates or tubes with many layers. If they have
layers and you want to keep the layer then leaving them in PSP
format is best.
Below you should see an image of
Queen Amidala from the Star Wars movies. Now this is in
PNG format, as you will notice it works in html pages
and will load in emails unlike TUB or PSD, where to show
these off you have to make a jpg of them separately and
use a zip file to make them downloadable. (If it is not
showing I suggest you upgrade to the newest form of IE).
Here are the different sizes for the same image in the
different formats:
PNG: 177 KB
PSD: 515 KB
TUB: 232 KB
If you want you can
download all three to compare image wise how they view.
For the PNG just right click below and do save as, for
the others click on the links above.
