 Version 9.01 full of bugs, 2004-12-10
Jasc's Paint Shop Pro was always second fiddle to Adobe's Photoshop. Loaded with professional level image editing features the "working person" could afford. Well since version 8 the quality of this program has plummeted. Coral bought out Jasc and has had a negative influence on the quality level at which there willing to ship a product. The newest version (9.0) was immediately patched with version 9.01. That fix didn't solve half of the problems (but introduce more). The bugs are not just with rare, unused feathers but with things like loss-less rotation, saving a file after red-eye removal. The program is slow to load (about 5 times longer than the version 7). Support forums are full of work-arounds to deal with broken features. E-mail support is non-existent. No reply... ever. This program is so bug ridden it's almost unusable. PSP fans used to be proud to recommend Jasc's image editing software. Now we're looking at Adobe Elements and trying to decide if going through the learning curve is worth it. Stay away from PSP until the quality control problems are solved.

 Paint Shop Pro 9 continues to innovate, 2004-11-22
Paint Shop Pro 9 continues to innovate with new Art Effects brushes bringing subtle color mixing, impasto, and runout effects to a wide range of new brush options. These are brush effects only available in Corel Painter or RightHemisphere's DeepPaint which cost 50-100% more. Yet PSP continues to serve the photo finishing market well with several new photo fix filters including a wild and wooly displacement filter. And Jasc continues to improve the interface with tabs for open image files and new color swatches. Goto Adobe Photoshop only if you need precise color control and infinite layering variations - otherwise Paint Shop Pro 9 will meet all your needs at 1/5th the price.

1st class excellent and easy paint / photo package!,, 2004-11-08
To be honest Adobe Photoshop is the top pro paint/photo package to use because of the amount of extras and plugins that it can use but I find myself turning to Paint Shop Pro very often. Let me list the reasons why.
1. It is quicker than Adobe Photoshop.
2. It has enough functions to do most of the things I need.
3. It is easy to use.
4. The learning curve is not steep.
5. The package is smaller in hard drive size than Photoshop.
6. It can do the vast majority of things that Photoshop can do.
PS has a very steep learning curve but is the only true Pro package out there, however how much of PS you think you will use depends on the type of work you are doing. I would recommend PSP just on the basis that you can get it working right out the box by just learning the basic interface.
I use this package an awful lot. I even do complex composites with it. In short - simple.

Perfect Photo editing tool that combines ease and features, 2004-10-01
The best part of this product is the new tool to remove digital camera noise. I think it is a must have feature for editing any photo taken in low light area. You will be amazed to see the results. The other star feature is the one touch photo fix.
