Complete graphics editor for all levels of ability
PaintShop Photo Pro is the new name of Paint Shop Pro, one of the most popular and powerful photo editors out there. The newest version of PaintShop Photo Pro includes all the tools you need to view, manage and edit your images, plus a vast collection of filters, effects and other elements that let you go creative with your photos.Maybe this generous selection of editing tools is responsible for PaintShop Photo Pro's lengthy installation process. PaintShop Photo Pro features a sleek, dark interface that can be quite confusing during the first few minutes of usage.It has so many different windows, palettes and toolbars that it feels a bit overwhelming. Our advice here is to spend as much time as necessary customizing it to your needs and, of course, trying out all the program’s buttons and menus.
Once you get the knack of it, you’ll start realizing PaintShop Photo Pro is actually a very powerful image editor. You’ll be able to adjust photos with simple rotation, cropping and straightening tools, or retouch them with the Fix Red Eyes or the Scratch Remover tools.
PaintShop Photo Pro also includes utilities to create collages, add text and graphics and insert frames and borders, among other possibilities.We especially liked the Express Lab, a special tool to quickly fix common image glitches. PaintShop Photo Pro is a fully featured photo editor that takes a while to get to grips with, but which includes a wide array of powerful tools.

X2 Better than X6 for me.
I like X2 a lot better. I try to resize an image on X6 and it always changes from what I have it set for. I had to go to my old computer with X2 on it in order to resize exactly like I wanted to. I would like to get X2 for my new computer.

Miss It So Much!.
Guess I was too quick on the delete button in Add/Remove Programs as somehow my Paint Shop Pro 8 disappeared. I was devastated as I quite liked it the best of any of my graphics software programs! I have Corel Paint Shop and HP Photosmart Premier but Paint Shop Pro beats them all. I use it to work on my photos for my two websites and it far outperforms, in results and options, the other two!

Lost interest a bit.
I used to love using Paint Shop Pro and found it a very friendly program to use for creating web graphics or tinkering about with my photos. Now though I think it's a bit long in the tooth and there's other equally good alteratives, like the GIMP which are free.
Pros:
Easy to work with a lot of nice features
Cons:
Don't think that people are prepared to pay money for a program like this anymore innit More
