Ditto.
Tried the later version though and couldn't seem to make the transision, so stayed with 8.1 .
I've been using PSP7 for over 10 years now - I tried 8, couldn't get the hang of it, but despite using it for all that time, I still don't know half the stuff it does but from what I've seen, the newer versions are quite more powerful.
If you are using Win 7, then you better get PaintShop Pro X. The older versions aren't really compatable with Win 7, however, PSP X works perfect. It has a number of very useful new features, especially if you are interested in creating textures using photo's. Can be bought pretty cheap if you look around. I got mine from an associated vendor on Amazon.com. You don't really need the top end version, which has lots of utilities of interest to professional photog's only!
I use Win7 and PSP8 mainly but after running for some time in one session PSP8 becomes unreliable and does some strange things. I have got in the habit of making sessions shorter and saving/closing/reopening PSP8 quite often to ensure integrity.
Certainly not worth all that hassle, when even on the Corel site you can have it for $30 US. I still say, if you look around, you can get it for a few bucks less than that! http://www.corel.com/corel/product/inde ... id=2500058
