Amazon.com Review

It's good to see that even mature applications can benefit from innovative thinking--Jasc has improved the latest PaintShop Pro in several areas.

PaintShop Pro is one of the original graphics editors, stretching back over 10 years. This latest version of the program features a new interface, which is more logically organized. Gone are the cumbersome floating palettes, so much a feature of earlier iterations. The tool options palette, for example, is now a context-sensitive ribbon under the menu bar. Lifting a leaf out of the CorelDraw handbook, the colour palette and several others have been rearranged as dockers on the right-hand side of the screen, too.

The painting engine itself has been rewritten, to give smoother control over your brushstrokes and it's now quite possible to do delicate work with the mouse, where before a graphics tablet might have been necessary.

Several new tools have been introduced and others have been enhanced, so they're equally useful to the casual photo retoucher and the professional digital artist. A couple of examples are the red-eye removal and erase-to-background tools. Red-eye removal calls up a two-pane dialog, for editing on the left and preview on the right. After highlighting each eye in turn and selecting the color and hue you want it to have, the result can be a very natural looking pair of irises.

Erase-to-background enables you to paint away any part of a photo and leave just the unpainted parts as a foreground image. It's more intelligent than a simple eraser and detects line edges, so works particulraly well on high-contrast subjects. Other new tools include warp and mesh warp brushes

A major new productivity feature is the scripting recorder, with which you can teach the program a task and get it to repeatedly run that sequence of operations. This is ideal, for example, if you want to convert a batch of files from one format to another or resize a series of images. <I>--Simon Williams, Amazon.co.uk</I>

Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 .......2007-03-18

Good product, but I bought this version and LESS than one month later Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9 came out and Jasc wanted to charge the full upgrade price. Just check to be sure Jasc doesn't have a new version coming out when you buy Paint Shop Pro ( current version is 10) because Jasc will make no allowance for the fact that you JUST bought their older version.

The last great version.......2007-02-07

This is the last "Jasc" version that is not
bloated with megs of usless stuff. Works great
and is easy to use.

Jasic Paintshop Pro 8 .......2007-01-06

The overaall program could be more user friendly. For the price, it is a good buy.
photo fixer is really GREAT. The picture tool is also GREAT.
The scripts are nice.
It doesn't have some of the features similar programs have.
Could have more filters and frames. A lot could be improved with the flood fill tool
