Product Description

Amazon.co.uk 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 organised. Gone are the cumbersome floating palettes, a feature of earlier incarnations. The tool options palette, for example, is now a context-sensitive ribbon under the menu bar. As in the CorelDraw handbook, the colour palette and several others have been rearranged as dockers on the right-hand side of the screen.

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 dialogue, for editing on the left and preview on the right. After highlighting each eye in turn and selecting the colour and hue of your choice, 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, thus working particularly 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 if you want to convert a batch of files from one format to another or resize a series of images. --Simon Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars Why spend more, 17 Mar 2004
I had cut my teeth in the world of pixel pushing on the Amiga with Deluxe Paint (for those who remember). I had long intended to find a package to use on the PC and had expected to shell out for Adobe Photoshop. But after using Paintshop Pro at work I discovered this covered everything I would want to do.

You can achieve pretty much any aspect of digital graphics from vector constructions to photo touch up to web site graphics.

Now in version 8 this package is really coming of age.

I'm happy to recomend this and at the price it's a bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars A serious rival to Adobe photoshop, 29 April 2004
By Mo "mo79uk" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
  
With the Power Suite Photo Edition being marginally more expensive thanPaint Shop Pro 8 alone (though I managed to get it when it was listedcheaper!!) you'd be mad not to get this if you're looking for both a greatgraphics and photo editor plus more!
Photo Album is the perfectorganisational and presentation accompaniment to the main program which isbeefed up by Animation Shop and two sets of extras. The RRP for thissoftware is marked as £160, and many retailers are selling it for£130.
This suite is simply the most intuitive, easy to use and mostrewarding stills visual editor (and extra) for most people. This packageundoubtedly overshadows Adobe Photoshop Elements by miles!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very powerful photo editor, 22 Jul 2004
I have used photo editing software for around 10 years, using Coral, Micrographix etc, and I think Paint Shop Pro 8 is extremly good. I started to use it without reading the manual, and was rather disapointed with it. But on reading the manual I found it was far better than any of the previous programs I used. Features that stand out are- the intelligent background remover, a must for serious photo editing. Skin tone correction. Perspective correction, etc. I don't know how it compares with Photo Shop, but it doesn't realy matter because Paint Shop Pro 8 does more than I hoped it would, and it does it well. But you do need to read the manual.
