A new version of the popular alternative to Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro from Jasc Software, has just been released. Version 8 includes several features aimed squarely at photographers, including the Perspective Correction, Straighten, One Step Photo Fix and Scratch Remover tools. There’s a free trial version available to download so that you can try before you (maybe) buy, although at a whopping 54Mb this is perhaps only an option for broadband users!
