draw and had no idea that she could make her own graphics and that in a short time would be making good ones that...

Pros: Great tools, low price
Cons: May take a little time to learn to use all of the options

Jasc's Paint Shop Pro, is a fantastic tool for image editing, and image creation.

Paint Shop Pro is very similar to Adobe's Photo Shop application, however, Paint Shop Pro carries the modest price tag of only $99.00 (USD).

Within...

Pros: Easy to use, great results
Cons: Expensive

I've been using Paint Shop Pro for years. Currently, I'm using version 6 of the software. I have used other image editing software in the past, most notably Adobe, but I always come back to this one, for many reasons. It's easy to use and has many useful...

Heres your examples of what PSP lacks in compared to photoshop.

Pros: Its all in the article
Cons: Its all in the article

If you are on a budget and need to edit or create your own pictures, you should definitely take a look at JASC Software's Paint Shop Pro 5. After using PSP for the first time, I realized that it is an excellent, feature-rich software package for a...

Pros: cheap, all the basic functions for a beginner graphic artist
Cons: photoshop wannabe (still a year or two behind tho)

photoshop is MUCH...much much much much more powerful than psp.
psp is great for the 'do-it-at-home' graphic artists or designers - it will cover all your wants, needs, and demands (and plus some). But when it comes time to take the next step in...

Pros: Low cost
Cons: Fewer features than Adobe

Many of the reviews I seem to read about this product seem to say that it can't compare to adobe photoshop. To truely say that you have to analyze both aspects of the comparison.

First, there is no doubt that Adobe is a better program. It...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: none

If you want to design your own graphics Paint Shop Pro 6 is the way to go.
Commonly know as PSP6, Paint Shop Pro 6 is one of the best graphics design programs out there. Not only is it affordable to most computer users but also can be used easily....

Pros: excellent photo editor, affordable, by mail includes a nice book
Cons: customer service is wretched, download might crash computer, some extras like tubes are a waste

Paint Shop Pro allows most of us to do anything we want or need to do with graphics. Some professionals think that it falls far short of PhotoShop, and I'm sure it does. It SHOULD, given the disparity in the purchase prices!!

...

Pros: Batch Conversion, Image effects ect...
Cons: Locks up once in a while but nothing else...

I like this program. We used it for the CD cover of "Herd of Turtles 2000" released in May. We were able to pretty much do whatever we wanted. We used some of the different fonts that really make words look weird. You can use up to 16 million...

Pros: The easiest program to learn
Cons: Not enough time in the day to create!

Pros: Low price, easy to use tools, simple to understand
Cons: Had trouble getting tubes to work on mine

I would have to say now that after taking a gander at both Paint Shop Pro (version 5 and 6) and at Adobe Photoshop, i see that Jasc's Paint Shop Pro could easily take the "top dog" position from Adobe.
Let me tell you the reasons i would...

Pros: Create's Top Notch Photo's
Cons: None, Yet?

I had worked with Print Shop, Live Pix, an Adobe Photo Deluxe, for quite a while when I discovered a Demo version of Paint Shop Pro. Just the Demo convinced me it was a must have.

I don't use these programs for web sites yet. I create and...
