Have to agree with the other posters on here I used PSP a lot up to PSP7 then was seduced by photoshop elements, and eventually by CS5. But I managed to get hold of the latest version of PSP through the Amazon Vine programme (for free) it looked great but with Lightroom and Photoshop already on my system it was uneccessary for my needs, so I passed it on to a friends daughter who has been bitten by the photography bug and was struggling with GIMP, she was absolutely delighted with it and her finished images have improved a lot, between PSP and a new Pentax DSLR for Xmas she is loving PSP and its ease of use along with the power that it has available. Always has been a great product.
