Paint Shop Pro (PSP) is a bitmap graphics editor and vector graphics editor for computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system that was originally published by Minneapolis-based Jasc Software. In October 2004, Corel Corporation purchased Jasc Software, and with it, the distribution rights to Paint Shop Pro.


Originally called simply Paint Shop, the first version, 1.0, was released in early 1992. Paint Shop was originally distributed as shareware, but is now sold in the United States for US$99.99, or US$59.99 for an upgrade from version 7 or higher, which is considerably lower than the price of its main competition, Adobe Photoshop. International prices vary but there is always a price advantage over Photoshop.


Its functionality is easy to learn and its user base is large due to the fact that many mid-range scanners come with PSP as their acquisition tool and image editor and many OEM have been, or are, bundling it with their systems.


rom version 5.01 to version 9, Jasc bundled Animation Shop, an animated graphics editor, with Paint Shop Pro. Animation Shop is now available separately for US$40.


With version 8.0 of PSP Jasc made some major changes to PSP. The most obvious change was the new look of the program through the use of all new GUI elements. Version 8.0 also introduced the ability to control most elements of PSP via scripts or macros. Some changes, however, were not welcomed by all users. Some users complained that the time to start version 8.0 was tens of seconds, whereas the previous version started up in a few seconds. Some users also complained that the changes made to the brush and other tools rendered them much less precise than in the previous version. This has caused some users to stick with version 7.0 of the program. Version 9 later solved some of those issues.


Major changes in version 10 included a revamped Learning Center that helps new users to get started, Makeover Tools (Blemish Remover, Toothbrush/whitener, and Suntan Brush), IR film simulator, and a Black and White film converter that includes color filter effects. One of the most anticipated additions to version X was 48Bit (16bits per channel) color support, which unfortunately was not completely supported. In version X, 48bit color images were limited to a handful of digital image correcting features, but not full blown photo editing, where the real benefit could be realized. On the surface 48bit color is merely as good as 24bit color. However when the image is manipulated, 48bit color allows more precise color data to be maintained providing less image artifiacts after significant manipulation.


Since its eleventh version released in September 2006 the program bears the name "Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI". This has introduced a new "Organizer" that replaces the previous file browser and a number of new filters and effects. There have also been new "One-step photo fixes" introduced.


The versions listed below are all trial versions and intended for research purposes only.

From 2006 to 2011 (versions XI to X3), PaintShop Pro was marketed as "Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo". Having dropped the "Photo" part of the name in version X4, Paintshop Pro X5 was derived from Ulead Photo Explorer after Corel's acquisition of Ulead.[8]

Adds face recognition, instant effects palette, graduate filter effect, Retro Lab, single RAW photo, run multiple scripts, Corel guide, photo mapping, support for Adobe Photoshop brushes, RAW/JPG pair filtering, 16-bit supported in 57 additional adjustments and effects, enhanced tools (text, crop, HDR, photo blend), Share My Trip on-line slide show creation[55]

Okay, there are a fair amount of Paint Shop Pro users here and the references have piqued my interest. I just spent the entire weekend doing a clean installation of Windows XP, and since I still have to install my Photoshop plug-ins I'd like to try a version of PSP too since the plug-ins are mostly compatible.

Jasc wanted Paint Shop Pro to be an affordable competitor to Photoshop, and - in many areas - it was. Corel is going for mass-market, down-market users, the people who want to open a shot, click one button, and have it magically fixed. To me, the one-button fixes in X and XI make my photos look worse 90% of the time. If giving your subjects a suntan with a one-button click, or scrap-booking, are more important to you than really controlling your image at more complex levels go for Corel. Otherwise the final Jasc version is probably as good as PSP will ever get.

PLUS, Corel Paint has also been very successful, and let's face it, when you come down to it, THAT's really just ANOTHER high end Photo editor with some extra painting features. PLUS, don't forget the 'editor for dummies' that replaced PhotoPaint V9 in the Essentials package.

Im really disappointed with PSP X5. Its very confusing. The only reason I bought it was becuz my new laptop has Windows 8, and the previous version of PSP is not compatible. I tried to install and after various error msgs, I gave up. Therefore I had no choice but to install the new version. My question, what happened to all the nice picture frames that were loaded with the previous versions. X5 has barely nothing, and the selected few are so unattractive. Can we use the frames from previous versions, or from the JASC "Paint shop Xtras, and Creative Edition DVDs which included pics, masks, and tubes. I don't want to attempt installing if its going to corrupt current version. Also, it is possible, how do I go about installing in proper PSP frame folder. Thanks

Hi Esee, wow thats a great little utility! From what I saw it even provides color selection options, neat feature. Have you found it to be relevant with other paint manufacturers or is it more brand specific?

Compatibility And Performance

 Paint Shop Pro 8, as with any other graphics manipulation software, benefits greatly from a powerful computer. Jasc Software recommends a 1GHz or faster processor and 256MB of RAM. I tested the software on a 1400MHz machine with 256MB of memory and felt that while the performance was adequate on smaller 10-50MB files, the performance on 100MB and larger files would benefit greatly from more RAM. During the review I upgraded this computer from the 256MB to 768MB of RAM. On a 110MB image file, the difference in performance was tremendous. Applying the unsharp mask filter needed almost 2 minutes to complete on this image before a RAM upgrade. No other changes to this computer except the memory upgrade to 768MB whittled this time down to 31 seconds, virtually a quarter of the time. Needless to say, memory will play a critical role in the overall performance of applications such as this. The performance is also directly related to the amount of undo levels specified in the preferences. Regardless of how much RAM or processing power is available, I still felt that the program was slightly slower in direct comparison to Adobe's Photoshop 7, which is generally considered the benchmark in imaging software.

There are lens correction tools designed for fixing barrel, fisheye, and pincushion distortion. Deform warp tools, a warp brush, and a large variety of effects (more commonly referred to as filters in programs like Photoshop) all combine to create a program that offers all the image processing functionality that the average end user should need. Numerous web design tools also make this a very good application for use in creating graphics and preparing imagery for the Internet.

 

 Layers and masking are handled in a simple and logical fashion. The blending modes that control the interaction of specific layers allow the same powerful effects and versatility found in more expensive editors. The built-in scripting support allows users to automate certain tasks and perform them on batches of files, which is very useful for handling mundane tasks.

Summary And Last Words

 Paint Shop Pro 8 is an excellent program for the typical imaging enthusiast. From the rich feature set, to the comprehensive documentation, to the free unlimited technical support, it is hard to fault this program for a retail price of only $109. There is also an electronic downloadable version available from the jasc.com website. Even after repeated testing of files over 100MB, the stability proved flawless. With an installed user base of over 25 million users worldwide, it is plain to see that the program has a wide appeal and a dedicated following. 

 

 As it stands, Paint Shop Pro 8 is too limited for use in professional installations where digital images are frequently processed in larger color spaces than sRGB. ICC color management is rather mature at this stage, so its complete inclusion seems like a prudent decision at this point of the product development. I hope that Jasc Software chooses to integrate a more powerful color management engine into a future release of Paint Shop Pro to take the capabilities of this already powerful and capable program to the next level.

The list price for Paint Shop Pro version 3.12, the first version to support both Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. The software was noteworthy at the time for including many, though not all, of the features of Adobe Photoshop 3.0, a program that sold for $895 upon its 1994 release. 2351a5e196
