Review by S. J. K. Haley
My bottom line on this program is that is a winner when it comes to the average person needing to edit images. It is more affordable than Photoshop Elements, and much, much more affordable than full power Photoshop. I understand that Photoshop is the standard, but Paintshop Pro is pretty doggone powerful, and it’s less money. My install of this program onto a 64bit machine, running Windows 7 Professional was smooth and without any headaches. The interface is pretty consistent with previous versions, this version is no real overhaul, but an enhancement. The learning curve is also easier that stepping up to Photoshop.
One final thought, unlike Photoshop, when you buy this, it’s yours. Adobe’s increasing Byzantine security and connectivity demands and expensive upgrades are a burden unless you are a professional and you can write the cost. If you are looking for a in home program, buy this instead.
