Review by LunchWithLions

This version of PSP is not much different from the past couple of versions. Most of the functions are still in the same place and thee is not much new to mention. If you can make the adjustment from Photoshop, this will definitely save you money. You can do most of the things Photoshop can do– just with more or different steps. As mostly an amateur artist my two favorite functions in PSP are the object extractor and the ability to import Photoshop brushes. You can also get PSP actions and shapes around the web. This software has been marketed as a photo editor for too long and not as the budget Photoshop competitor it should be. It would be better with more online tutorials and an active online community with better online help and education. Instead of spending money moving stuff around and calling everything new, they would do much better to market it to compete with Adobe and to show customers how anything Photoshop can do, PSP can do better. If it can’t, put THAT into the next edition instead.
