Download InstantEffects.xml Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying InstantEffects.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory. Corel typically does not release PaintShop Pro XML files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing InstantEffects.xml and all other XML files for PaintShop Pro. An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
