Thought's on Paint Shop Pro 2018?

[Mydnyte]

Anyone have Paint Shop Pro 2018? After using Paint Shop Pro 9 for many computers and many years I guess I've gotten all of the mileage that I can from it. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 10 installed and I just can't find any compatibility setting at all that will work with PSP 9.

PSP2018 is on sale for $39 at the moment. Thinking about giving it a try as I really need some kind of paint program. Thought I would ask here first and see what some of you might have to say.

That what I have, I like it, seems easier for me than PS5, I've had PSP for a long long time, started way before x3, so, I give it a good score.

Curious about why PSP is easier to use than PS.....

 

[garrett1127]

Just never learned how to manipulate all the tools and things very well. PSP is pretty much straight forward to me.

Hmmm....Well to each his own....I get along pretty well with what I was given....

I also use PSP9, the only program I have ever used. Tried Adobe Photoshop CS5 and found it very confusing vs PSP9.

Also I use Windows 10. I had to delete PSP9 and than re installed it and it works fine.

I'm getting that update ad for the 2018 PSP a lot now. Thinking about it...

I've used PSP since, I think PSPv3 I've upgraded several times, I'm using PSP X9 now and I remain happy with it. I use CS6 for some sims templates just because they have that different layering system that doesn't completely open in PSP...

I also use PSD for working with .dds files since I can't seem to get that NVidea dds program to work with PSP...

What I have on my pc ic PSP9, PS4, PS6, Paint Net and Gimp I do not use Gimp but its there if I need something I can't open in the others

I use the X7 version, which should have been the last one released before 2018. There wouldn't be much difference, just a few new things in the 2018 version. It's worked well for me over the years to use PSP instead of Photoshop.

I have PSP X1,X2,X3,X4 and X5 but they are not installed

I downloaded the demo. Mostly familiar to what I've used before. Probably go ahead and buy the full version as I do need a graphics program for lot of stuff I do.

Thanks for the input.

I use GIMP.

I switched to photoshop after psp 9 being the last psp version I used. Photoshop pen tool is the biggest challenge to get used to, but worth the time. I started painting using psp for many years.
