Paint Shop Pro started out nearly 10 years ago as a handy tool for converting image files from one type to another, together with image adjustments such as adjusting colour levels, resizing images etc. 7 versions later, the core features remain the same - the program is still capable of reading and writing most image formats known to man (including Windows 2 MSPaint format, and various UNIX types). It still has a wealth of filters and image manipulation features, too, ranging from embossing an image, to tweaking hue/saturation/luminance, to posterisation. This version of Paint Shop Pro has accumulated all the features of previous versions, while adding ...  Read the complete review

I have been using Paint Shop Pro for photo editing, digital design and composition, and touching up photos since version 3.x. Each time a new version is released I think, "I don't need to upgrade..." but I always do. I always register my software.

This program is getting on a bit now - after 8.0 was released it got sold to Corel who brought out an 'X' version. Having tried version 8, I have to say that 7 remains my favourite graphics program for editing. It's easy to install on one disk, with optional extras to install if you're really keen. So what is it? Basically, it's a much cheaper version of Photoshop, without a lot of its gimmicky 'effect' features (sometimes useful, but it depends what you're using it for). It's several hundred pounds less than Photoshop, takes up less space and opens and closes without difficulty for most computer users - Photoshop tends to crash more ...  Read the complete review
