Paint Shop Pro 8 is a fabulous upgrade of the ever popular Paint Shop Pro 7 (PSP). It is one of the best upgrades done by Jasc Software to date.
Paint Shop Pro 8 is a fascinating new update from the original Paint Shop Pro from Jasc Software. It lets you handle your entire graphic and designing needs. It's new features offers faster loading, and smoother handling with control.
After running vigorous tests, such as opening and closing, tube loading and other various tests, the program handled quite well.
It's improved speed, with easy to use toolbox windows, makes finding things a snap. A novice using Paint Shop Pro 8 can quickly become a professional designer. With its in-depth tutorials and great "GUI" performance, learning has never been easier. The New Browse and Zoom in PSP8 has also been improved making the view of small percentages better than ever. No more blotchy or boxy sections to glance over.
All your very own designs can be kept stationary with the new Paint Shop Pro, as you have plenty of options to browse for you work making finding your tubes, and brushes a thing of the past.
Here are some of the improvements and feature enhancements you have to look forward to:
The menu structure has a more refined look, making things much easier to find. (PSP7 left, PSP8 right)
The tools are now grouped which makes finding your favorite brush or tube, easy and hassle-free. (PSP7 left, PSP8 right)
The new Tool Options make using your favorite brush or tube even better. With more detailed options and a more opened display approach, brush modifications are a breeze. (PSP7 top, PSP8 bottom)
The new palette makes picking your favorite color or greatly detailed option delightful. It also comes with a handy docked viewing pane to see your work in progress without being in the way. (PSP7 left, PSP8 right)
Features we would like to see in future versions of Paint Shop Pro:
A new shape feature it's a little under worked and could use better optioning all around.
