RIP, Paint Shop Pro

A picture is worth a thousand words. Since I probably won't be updating this blog any more (I doubt PSP will ever be improved or made open-source), I thought I'd leave you with a nice little picture, which captures PSP's fall into obscurity throughout the years. Enjoy.

this is absurd, photoshop was heavy and photoshop was the most complete, psp was light and it had sufficient features

now photoshop is the lightest and still the most complete, psp is now the heavier and still have the same features.

lot of things makes me lol... the brushes, very cool, yes, but i think doesn't exist any cpu that can make them working smoothly.

corel, thanks for killing OUR software

I hung onto PSP8 for years and years and decided to see what the most current version was. I was surprised that it was now Corel? PSP was definitely the program to use in the late 90's when working on homepages and we needed nifty graphics to spiffy them up. I miss those days and the people that showed me all the tricks and tips to make backgrounds and banners.
