I used JASC Paint Shop Pro 4.14 for years, liked it very well. When my old computer bit the dust, I (finally) upgraded to a Windows 7 machine... and PSP 4 wouldn't even install on it, because it wasn't compatible with a 64 bit system. Doing some searching, and seeing all the comments people had made about the Corel version, I hunted around and found this. Despite its age (18 years old now), it installed on Win 7 and runs well - the only problem is that after you close the program, Windows pops up a warning stating that the program didn't run properly, which is nonsense. Having used PSP for years, it was easy for me to use this updated version, though it will take some time playing with the filters, etc. in order to get used to them. I would highly recommend this to anyone running Windows 7 or 8, and it is definitely less expensive than Adobe Photoshop, even though a lot of the features are the same.
