there are some things that PSP9 wont seem to let me do.
EXAMPLE:

when i duplicate a layer and but a thick Stroke on the bottom one, sometimes THIS happens. notice how it doesnt curve around the shape as it should. it just kinda cuts off and goes straight at an angle.

so i converted it to a raster and thought i could Expand it and fill in the white border. BUT, if you look closely, the expansion selection is ROUNDED and CURVED and not SHARP like the red part.
also, is there any way i would be able to make that matel logo with the vectors? its like a gear with spiles. i dont know if it is even possible to get a perfect looking thing like that with this program.
i wonder if i can tell my problems to the company so they can make better versions with my help.
