Paint Shop Pro

Review by Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder

Paint Shop Pro, by Corel Corporation won the People's Choice Awards in the Best Graphics Program or Utility category. This is a program I've used since it first came out back in the early 1990's. It's won both the People's Choice Awards and the Shareware Industry Awards multiple times, and with good reason. Over the years the program has changed quite a bit and it's gotten better and better. You can create graphics for your Web pages and Paint Shop Pro gives you lots of tools to make those graphics as fancy as you want. For most people, this is the only graphics editor or paint program you're ever going to need. Create banners, borders and lots more. In this day and age of digital photos, you can also use the program to enhance your pictures. Lighten them, change the contrast, resize them and much more!

Paint Shop Pro is perfect for both home and business use. And it's also relatively easy-to-use and comes with really excellent help. You can use it to convert graphics files from one format to another -- either one-at-a-time or in batches. It's lightning fast too. If you want to get creative Paint Shop Pro comes with over 75 special effects you can apply to your graphics and pictures. It can also do screen captures, let you fiddle with colors, layers, and even put borders and frames around your pictures.

Paint Shop Pro, by Corel Corporation, is a totally impressive graphics program. And I could have dedicated pages talking about all the things you can do with it -- both great and small. It's wonderful for creating images from scratch as well as modifying existing graphics. You can use it to improve your digital pictures, convert your graphics between different formats, and create graphics for the Web. It's one of those programs that everyone should have on their computer and it's easy to see why so many users, like you, voted for it. Take the time to check it out for yourself.
