 "Better than Photoshop CS3 Extended" | 2008-01-25 |

| I bought this a few years ago for graphic design. It works much betters, and is a lot faster, than Photoshop CS3 Extended. It is easy to get used to, and can be used for photography, graphics, web design, etc. I highly recommend this product. | |

| I am a professional graphic artist and I have been using PSP 9 since December 2005. I use to have Adobe Photoshop, but I found it to be far too complicated. PSP is simple to use! You don't need to know much about it to use it. If you are completely clueless there are tons of places to find tutorials and additional burshes. You can even make your own. It does everything you can think of and I find very resourceful, it can even do screen captures which I found particularly useful. I was a beginner to this program and found my way around very quickly. I strongly recommend this program to current or aspiring Graphic Artist. It really is a wonder. Whether you are organizing pictures or blending images, Paint Shop Pro 9 does it all! | |
 "Not all RAW formats are the same" | 2007-01-01 |
| - Reviewed By tbrady16 | |
| I bought the software ( Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9 ) before I bought my camera - to be ready to process the pictures I was going to take. A BIG MISTAKE. I bought a Canon 30D camera and record my images in RAW format (*.CR2). UNFORTUNATELY, not all Canon .CR2 RAW files are the same. So, even though the software says you can edit .CR2 RAW images, it depends on which Canon camera made the image. So far, there have been no update patches or upgrades to make the RAW images from my 30D useable by this package. | |

| I used Paint Shop Pro since version 5 and now version 9 (and all in-between). Since then I learned a lot of features and there's still some to learn (which is a good thing). When ever I want to edit a photo, this can get it done easilly and quickly. Don't upgrade to the new version X (10). Corel bought out Jasc and version 9 was the last that Jasc made (and best). Corel made version X worse. Trust me this one is better than version X (and not to mention is cheaper). | |

| The first graphics software I ever used was Paint Shop Pro 8. After many downloads of various software, Painter, Paintshop, even PSP10, I bought PSP9. It's simple to get used to if you have a rough idea of how to use the software, even if you don't, there are tons of tutorials on various online sites such as Livejournal that can teach you how to use it to get results you like. I use it mainly for fan art and graphics such as banners and icons, and it serves that purpose very well. Brushes and Textures, Gradients, all transport from other programs into PSP9 with ease - via image packs in my case usual. If you're a beginner to graphics design, and just want a proggie to putter around with, PSP9 is a program designed just for you, with the look and feel of something a professional would use. | |
| "Uncomplicated and Easy To Follow" | 2006-01-10 |

| Being someone who was completely new to these types of programs, I received a free trial of this product when I ordered my laptop. After a couple of days of messing around with it, and reading a few easy brief tutorials, I was a regular graphic pro. I made a ton of graphics for my graphics journal, and found it easy to make even the most complicated graphics using this program. I recently received another similar graphics program, and found it way too complicated and hard to figure out. I decided to go ahead and just buy this one because I liked it so much, and I get a lot of usage out of it. | |

| Paint Shop Pro 9 is my first professional photo software. I desperately needed it, seeing as I was struggling with MS Paint to make graphics for my website. It's easy to use, and self-explanatory most of the time. What little problems I had were either explained in the help section of the software or found on the internet. It's so much like Photoshop or earlier versions of Paint Shop Pro that I use tutorials for them on PSP 9 most of the time. One small problem, though, is that brushes on the internet are mostly for PSP 7 and 8. It took me months to find a forum that explained how to convert them to PSP 9 format. Other than that, this is better than any other program I've used a trial for and worth the money. | |
 "I was amazed what I could do with this product" | 2005-10-20 |
| - Reviewed By ethann | |
| I have no background in graphics or art and the extent of my PC graphics experience stopped at MS Paint. I found myself in a situation where I needed some graphics done but didn't have budget to get them done professionally. So I purchased PSP and had a go. I was amazed at what I could produce in such a short period of time. Within a few hours I was applying fading effects to images and making montages out of several images. Very cool. I did find the product a challenge to use though. A big part of the problem was that I didn't know the terminology. I would think of an effect I wanted to do, like "fade", but wouldn't know the correct terminology to search for e.g. "mask". But if you are a little more patient than me (not hard) then this shouldn't be a problem. The help is pretty good but I found that more often I used some of the many PSP "how to" web sites out there. There are lots of good sites out there if you are in a hurry. The program also seems to be a bit slow to load but I'm not sure how this compares to other graphics programs. Overall, I'm very impressed with PSP and consider it a great bargain. | |
 "NOT AN IMPROVEMENT!" | 2005-06-02 |

| I'm a professional graphic designer, and I've been using PSP (and Adobe Photoshop) since the early versions, and I am very disappointed in this version. I bought the upgrade from 7 to 9, mainly because I was interested in the scripting ability and the new paint brush functions. This new version is more complex than it needs to be, extremely awkward to work with, and it has been heavily "Corelized" (in case you don't know, recently Paint Shop Pro was purchased by the Corel Corporation). One of the most frustrating things about this version are the docking toolbars and palettes--enough to drive one mad as they are difficult to position and they take up too much space if they're docked and are constantly in the way if they're floating. The browse display screen now takes up the whole work area and you have to move the floating tool palettes around if you want to scroll the thumbnail folder up and down. I also dislike the changes that they made to the text functions--again, more awkward to use, and now you have two palettes to have to bother with, and I'm still trying to figure out the changes they made with the alpha channel functions. I used to be able to delete them with the click of a button. I can't now! Despite these and many other shortcomings, I can't deny that the new version has a lot of cool features, such as the one button auto photo enhancement and scripting ability. I wanted this scripting function that could automatically do some of the repetitive things I do to images. This feature saves me a lot of time. So I guess, PSP 9 is not all bad. But they could have added these new features seamlessly to the old layout. Instead they had to go and change just about everything. I just wish that Corel would have left Paint Shop Pro's integrity intact. I used to use Corel's Photopaint extensively--and it seems to me like they've tried to make Paint Shop Pro 9 similar to that program, which was also hard to use and not very intuitive. I believe that Corel overlooked the fact that one of the great things about Paint Shop Pro has always been its simplicity. I've always appreciated the fact that it takes me fewer key strokes/clicks to accomplish the same thing in PSP that I could do in one of the other graphic programs, which is why Paint Shop Pro has always been my primary design tool. So, I'm sorry to report that I'm giving this version two thumbs down. And believe me, I'm going to keep PSP 7 on my computer. | |

| I have been using this software for a very long time. I used to use multiple versions. I will say that for a time it started to look too much like Adobe but I think that the past few versions have moved away from that and I am very glad. Adobe has some precision problems that annoy me very much. With this program you have much more control as well as creative help. I have loved this software from the first version but even more today. I have experience with Adobe and over all I would chose this program for the following reasons....
1. It is much cheaper than most of the major brands. 2. It is made with the artist, student, Random kid, and graphic designer in mind. 3. At every job I have ever had I was able to find use for it. 4. Versatility of the software itself, it can be used for many different venues The only down side that I know of is that it does not come with the animation shop anymore. I have gone, as far to take classes for Adobe and still I cannot see any reason to spend so much more for it over this software. | |
