Good for an older version

Strengths:

Editing capabilities are quite comprehensive for the price

Weaknesses:

No manual and a less-than-perfect help system. Leaves itself in memory after you've exited the program at times. Animation Shop 3 that comes with it doesn't support PSP version 8 files.

Posted Mar 30, 2006 - Make absolutely sure you're okay with just a CD. No documentation other than the help files, and they leave some things out. Also make sure you don't mind rebooting now and then - either that, or using a Task Manager-type app to terminate the program from memory when it doesn't close itself out completely.

Strengths:

Does most everything that Photoshop can do for about 1/20th of the price.

Weaknesses:

Interface takes a little getting used to after Photoshop.

Posted Jul 18, 2004 - I've been a long time user of Photoshop. I recently purchased PSP8 for home use after reading about how it stacks up against Photoshop. I find both programs to be worthwhile. It took a little time to get used to the PSP8 interface but now I feel it was well worth paying so little for a program that does so much. I miss some of the ease of Photoshop but it just takes time to adjust to a new program. I cannot say that I was ever an expert at Photoshop so I don't know exactly how functionality differs between the two programs. As for PSP8 on its own, I have had the opportunity to use it on various occasions recently and it is growing on me.

Strengths:

The abundance and use-ease of filtering tools.

Weaknesses:

Nothing-it's great!

Posted May 17, 2004 - I bought this software after reading PC WORLDS'S Camera guy, Dave Johnson's column, that I subscribed to about a year ago. I was just a complete novice with photograph editing. You know the routine-"quick fix" and you're done. I noticed that he used Paint Shop Pro in his teaching tips. I really didn't want to spend $100.00 for the software, but with all the rebates I received, it was a real BARGAIN. I really should be thanking Dave for this; I have learned, with his teaching, to use all of the filtering tools with ease. All in all I am completely satisfied with this software. In fact, about a month or two when they put out an update, Jasc sent me a new program disk for it. Great company. Check out Dave's column over at PC World.

Strengths:

don't know how to use it so don't see any strengths yet. HELP???

Weaknesses:

following the directions.. figuring out how to use the product.

Posted Nov 18, 2004 - I tried to leave a review on your web site but it won't let me write anything. I recently purchased a Paint Shop Pro 8 (Full Product, PC). I find the manual almost unuseable.. too technical for me unfortunately. It is very hard to find things and to figure out how to use them. I'm not sure about layering things etc. I would love to have a video or someone to look over my shoulder to tell me what to do step by step. HELP !!!! I love what you say you can do.. just don't know how to do it. I also use Print shop deluxe and it works great and is user friendly. I wish your product was as easy to use. Mr. Pitcher

Paintshop pro version 8

Strengths:

Very flexible. Able to do most anything the higher priced boys can do.

Weaknesses:

None encountered.

Posted Feb 26, 2007 - Well worth the money. I have had the same program before and was just replacing it due to a lost computer in hurricane Katrina. I tried the later version ( version ten by Corel)and did not like the user interface.
