6. The Units tab. Here you can set a unit of measurement for your documents (choose pixels if your image is for internet; choose centimeters or inches if you want to print your image). Here you can also set the default resolution for the images (only for the images which doesn't have a resolution value). Choose a higher resolution if you want to print the images.

7. Setting Transparency and Shading preferences - here you can set the size and the color of grid size (see the image below). You can also choose to shade the non-selected areas when using the Crop tool and to set the level of opacity of the shaded area.

8. Setting Warnings preferences - Corel PaintShop Pro displays a warning dialog box when you are about to perform an operation that will result in the loss of information or when the operations cannot be performed. Is recommended to enable all the warnings.

9. Auto Action - you can automate actions that must be performed in order to further edit an image. Sometimes, some actions must be performed in order to edit an image. For example, some commands can be performed only on images with a bit depth of at least 8 bits per pixel. When you choose a command for an image with a bit depth lower than 8 bits per pixel, the Auto Actions dialog box appears with the message that the image must be converted to a higher bit depth in order to proceed with the command. Choose one of the following options:
Never — prevents the selected action from happening. By choosing this option you'll make certain menu commands inactive if the action is required to complete the command. Some items in the list do not have this option available.
Always — performs the action automatically without displaying a prompt box
Prompt — the program will display a prompting box anytime you'll try to perform the action
