Review by Jerry Palmerino

I have been a long-time user of Paint Shop Pro. I have been using it since the Jasc days (version 4, if I recall correctly). With each release, it got more complex, taking on new features and focusing on the photo-editing aspects to stay competitive. This pretty much describes the history of this product.

As it stands today, I still find Paint Shop Pro to be my favorite photo-editing software on Microsoft Windows. Practically everything you expect from Adobe Photoshop is built into Paint Shop Pro, for a lot less money. I ofter turn to Paint Shop Pro instead of Photoshop (which is on my Mac), when I need to do a fast edit or mockup some design. The features seem to have always be easier to access and grasp in Paint Shop Pro than in Photoshop.

I recommend this to everyone trying to decide between Photoshop and Paint shop Pro.
