I downloaded Paint Shop Pro 8, and I installed it.

And I swear, my first impression was, "awww, my little photo editing program is all grown up". Hehehe.

(It is, too. New features, new interface, new look and everything. Will take me a bit to dig through it, but since it didn't install on top of PSP7, I can take my time.)

So would you say that PSP8 is significantly better than PSP7? I use 7, and whenever it isn't 100% necessary, I don't like to upgrade software ... though I love PSP and have been using it since it was a shareware program. Just wondering if it was a dramatic enough change to go ahead and upgrade for.

It's a major change IMHO... but try it out, there's as usual the full-features 30-day demo, so you can try it out and see if it's worth upgrading for or not.
