Just found out that the new version of Printmaster are totally incompatible with files created in PM 18.1 and earlier. Has anyone found a software publishing program that can import PM 18.1 files without losing anything?

Are you using Windows 8.1 or 10 and upgraded to PM 7?

If your older program supports rendering your project as a JPG image, then you can bring those images over to PM7 and overlay additional graphics as necessary.

PM 18.1 is not supported on Windows 8.1 or 10 but if you're feeling up to it, there is one solution that may allow PM 18.1 to run: http://support.encore.com/technicalsupport/kb.aspx?kb_id=2038&product_id=2644

Unfortunately, there is no Win 10 program that can import project files created in PM 18.1. If you can still run PM 18.1, start exporting projects as high-res JPG. Those JPG files can then be imported into ANY graphics program.

Tip: Delete any text that you do not want to be permanently part of your JPG (such as dates). You can always add new text with whatever program you use to import the JPG.

This blog article describes the exporting as JPG process for PrintShop 23.1 which is essentially the same program as PrintMaster 18.1.
