Paint Shop Pro 8 Complete package

I have been using Paint Shop Pro for several years now. Version 7 seemed to have everything I ever needed. However, I recently bought myself a new digital camera and having read a few reviews of Version 8 I decided perhaps I should upgrade. -- The package arrived on Monday (from Amazon) There are two packs you can buy, one which comes with just Paint Shop Pro and the "power suite photo edition", which also includes Paint Shop Photo Album 4, Jasc ...
...find inside a manual for Paint Shop Pro, a manual for the Paint Shop Photo Album 4 and a bonus book called Paint Shop Creations, which is a book giving you advice on how to take good photos and edit them in Paint Shop Pro. I am used to receiving software in a big box, but with the manual on the CD which you have to print, so the inculsion of the manuals was a big bonus for me (although where I'm going to put them is a different matter!). Having ...

...8 extremely user friendly. Paint Shop Pro 8`s new painting engine has been rewritten to give smoother control over brush strokes. It is now much easier to use a mouse for fine detail painting and editing when before a graphics tablet may have been required. Perspective problems in photos are no longer a problem with the Perspective options tool. Distorted photos can be aligned by a unique handle placing system to sort out your image. It is also ...
...A line is positioned along an item that should be straight in the picture, the horizon for example. The image is then corrected. If the £85 price is a little high for you, I have noticed Earlier versions of Paintshop Pro being given away on Computer Magazine Cover CD`s. Although they will not have all of the features described above they will give you a general feel for the software and may just wet your appetite enough to treat yourself to a well ...

...around and decided to buy Paint Shop Pro 8 instead. This is also fairly pricey to buy, however I searched around the Amazon Market Place and picked up a brand new copy for about £7! For that amount of money, I couldn't go wrong. When the CDROM arrived, I turned the case over and read the information on the back which was very useful. It explained how you could use the software for editing digital photos, creating graphics, resizing images and web ...
...It had instructions on how to install and register the software. It also gave basic editing tips to get you started. It explained that there were tutorials online which you could access if you wanted further help. The installation was simple, I just followed the onscreen instructions and it was done. It didn't take very long either. I wanted to get started straight away so I began with some of the basic editing stuff like resizing and cropping ...

Review of Paint Shop Pro 8 Complete package

As a teacher of digital imaging I felt I had to go out and buy the latest version of Paintshop Pro 8 in order to keep up to date. I was pleasantly surprised by the latest incarnation. As a PSP user since version 8, I know that this software is not the easiest to master, but the new version has many advantages. I particularly like the new one step photo fix for enhancing your photos in just two clicks. This feature will be appreciated by both existing ...
...interesting. I'm not a great one for gimics, but did like the Painted Carved Wood effect and Pontillist effects in particular. The Product Tour has been enhanced, so that users can see features demonstrated in videos. There are many programmes for digital imaging and Photoshop is the one favoured by professionals. Paintshop Pro costs a fraction of the price and has many useful features. In my experience these two programmes are the ones which have ...

Review of Paint Shop Pro 8 Complete package

Jasc is a well-known and respected manufacturer of graphics software. PSP compares very well with other programmes of its genre. I had been using PSP7 for about two years, and hesitated before changing. I am however, pleased I took the plunge. All graphics programmes need to be learned, tutorials for PaintShopPro are freely available, both from the Jasc site, and many graphics enthusiasts sites online. For anyone purchasing their first graphic ...
...It is a very versatile programme, useful for a variety of tasks, including web design, digital painting, photo enhancement and manipulation. The screenshot facility makes it ideal for creating tutorials too. Experienced users will find some new features in PSP8: Improved browse facility - which now lets you preview effects Seamless tiling - previously to acquire seamless tiles I used an outside programme, now this facility is included Magnifying ...

From its humble shareware beginnings, Paint Shop Pro is practically legendary among PC users. For a fraction of the price, it has rivalled giants of the professional image-editing world. With the likes of Adobe releasing powerful software for the home in the shape of Photoshop Elements and Ulead snapping at its heels with PhotoImpact, is the latest version of the original home imageediting software still the best? All of the the program’s ...
...available in rival software. Paint Shop Pro has never been renowned for its ease of use, trading off simplicity for power and functionality. The screen you arrive at upon launching the software is still frightening but there is a Learning Centre, which offers step-by-step information and handy tutorial videos. We still wouldn’t recommend the program to complete beginners, but intermediate image manipulators shouldn’t struggle to get ...
