Review by carol irvin

I’m an artist so although I used this product extensively for a year or more, the day dawned where I needed to upgrade to the industry powerhouse of graphics’ programs, Photoshop. Photoshop is a very difficult, expensive and challenging program though and unless you are a photographer or an artist, you can probably do as well or better with Paint Shop Pro 7. It is easier to learn and operate and does an enormous range of image editing tasks. I’ve produced excellent original art work on it. I also have edited or manipulated images with ease. It comes in at 1/6th the cost of Photoshop and for a vast pool of users out there, it more than does the job. For my own students, for one, who are going to image edit digital pictures they take of houses, this program is more than enough.
