Customer Reviews

Better than Photoshop CS3 Extended
I bought this a few years ago for graphic design. It works much betters, and is a lot faster, than Photoshop CS3 Extended. It is easy to get used to, and can be used for photography, graphics, web design, etc. I highly recommend this product.

Great Product, Great Buy!!!
I am a professional graphic artist and I have been using PSP 9 since December 2005. I use to have Adobe Photoshop, but I found it to be far too complicated. PSP is simple to use! You don't need to know much about it to use it. If you are completely clueless there are tons of places to find tutorials and additional burshes. You can even make your own. It does everything you can think of and I find very resourceful, it can even do screen captures which I found particularly useful. I was a beginner to this program and found my way around very quickly. I strongly recommend this program to current or aspiring Graphic Artist. It really is a wonder. Whether you are organizing pictures or blending images, Paint Shop Pro 9 does it all!

Not all RAW formats are the same
I bought the software ( Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9 ) before I bought my camera - to be ready to process the pictures I was going to take.
A BIG MISTAKE.

I bought a Canon 30D camera and record my images in RAW format (*.CR2).
UNFORTUNATELY, not all Canon .CR2 RAW files are the same. So, even though the software says you can edit .CR2 RAW images, it depends on which Canon camera made the image. So far, there have been no update patches or upgrades to make the RAW images from my 30D useable by this package.
