ST-2000XM and Paintshop pro problems

I have a new SBIG ST-2000XM.

I had been doing some DSLR imaging and processing the images using Paintshop pro with some pretty good results and did not have any trouble with finding and processing my images.

Well I am having no luck finding my images using the ST-2000XM and using the Paintshop pro, when I finally do find them they are not a supported file?

What do I need to do, HELP!!

Any kind of info will help.

I have tried saving my images in a TIFF AND jpeg format with no results, and of course the SBIG format will not work with Paintshop

David,
Together with the camera you should get two softs - CCDOps and CCD Soft. Those are basic softwares for aquisition/correction ( darks, flats etc)/registering and combining RGB images. You can easily store the image in TIFF and finally JPEG format and use them for final processing in Photoshop, PixInsight or probably Paint shop ( sorry I dont know what kind of software it is).
Regards
Maciej
