4 stars (I was amazed what I could do with this product) - I have no background in graphics or art and the extent of my PC graphics experience stopped at MS Paint. I found myself in a situation where I needed some graphics done but didn't have budget to get them done professionally. So I purchased PSP and had a go. I was amazed at what I could produce in such a short period of time. Within a few hours I was applying fading effects to images and making montages out of several images. Very cool. I did find the product a challenge to use though. A big part of the problem was that I didn't know the terminology. I would think of an effect I wanted to do, like "fade", but wouldn't know the correct terminology to search for e.g. "mask". But if you are a little more patient than me (not hard) then this shouldn't be a problem. The help is pretty good but I found that more often I used some of the many PSP "how to" web sites out there. There are lots of good sites out there if you are in a hurry. The program also seems to be a bit slow to load but I'm not sure how this compares to other graphics programs. Overall, I'm very impressed with PSP and consider it a great bargain. 5 stars (PSP is great!) - I have never had the full version, but I have had a trial. I've also had a photoshop trial, but I find that psp is much faster to learn and is easier to use. With photoshop, however, I believe it is sometimes slow. I do think that paint shop pro is a great program to use than photoshop. Sure, photoshop has a few extra things psp doesn't, but some of you may not use it. so psp is the best program I can recommend. MSPaint is another great program, but you can always edit those images made on there in psp! :) 4 stars (Great program) - Love computers and love photography and this program is at a good price with some pretty high tech tools. It is amazing what can be done with an even average photograph. Now looking to go to a higher end Canon digital 20D because of the ...
