Edit:Nov25 2015 - I am now using this on a new computer that has Windows 10 and it still works well!

Edit 5/10/2015: Just wanting to update my review to say I've had this over a year (almost two years now) and I am still in love with it. I used it almost everyday for my drawings and I have not had any problems with it. Just so someone knows I use Windows 7 and it works fine (see a lot of people asking about that.).

I love this program. I use it when ever editing pictures, making pictures and line art. I've used it to make a design for a T-Shirt for a group of girls I help run. It is fun to get the creative side out with this. Even though I'm not as good as some people, still fun to use. And it isn't too expensive compared to other programs that are similar. This works good on my Windows computer when most of these programs don't work well on them.

I recommend it to anyone wanting a not to expensive illustrator program. Good for kids and adults alike :)

4.0 out of 5 stars I still prefer this edition over the newest ones.

This was the last edition in which Animation Shoppe was packaged WITH Paint Shop Pro. That was a big mistake on Corel/Jasc part, in my opinion. I recommend this program for anyone who wants to work with digital graphics, make avatars/signature banners, book covers, business cards, etc. It does what Photoshop does, and without the excessive bloat or price tag of PS.

I do wish the book came with this. I have the book from when I originally owned this, before a former partner's grandchildren decided that busting someone's belongings and not telling them was okay. If you are willing to sit down and just play with PSP 9, you can learn it. I do recommend figuring out the keyboard shortcuts. All these years of using this program, and I just found out how incredibly handy the KB shortcuts are.

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of CRAP software!!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2006
I recently bought this item. I knew it was the "old" version and that that they had recently released a new version. It didn't matter to me since I only wanted to do fairly simple things in terms of photo editing anyway.

That being said, you would think that a program with a history as long as Paint Shop Pro, and with a version number of "9" would be fairly well tuned and usable. Well, that isn't true at all!

I spent DAYS (I'm not a moron. I use all types of computer software) trying to figure out how to do a simple thing like crop an image with a fading edge, and paste it onto another image as an inset photo. After I finally figured out how do to it, I executed the command and it went off for 5 minutes grinding my hard drive. As I speak I just terminated the program becaue I was tired of listening to the hard drive grind on my 1 GHz Pentium computer.

I've used picture editing software before and very sophisticated CAD software also. None of it has ever ground my processor to a halt like this piece of CRAP.

Don't even waste $10 on this software. Buy something simple that works.

I would be ashamed to work at a company who writes such pathetic software.......

Works ok, but when selecting printer only default is shown. Also the program does not run well in Vista 64 bit.

I thought I had to replace my old psp, but it turns out it just isn't compatable w/ Win10. I wish the seller would have stated that, but alas... I bought the darned program again, only to have the same problem. Corel has a version 9 that is compatable w/ Win.10, but it's more expensive, of course.

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.
