What version of Paint Shop Pro do you use? I, personally, use seven, although I've tried other versions such as 10 and 11, but seven just sticks with me as my favorite.

I love my PSP 7 that is the one I am uber comfortable with but I've been upgrading gradually to using 9 more often..that's what I'm trying to get used to because it gets hard to find 7 compatable stuff anymore..

I honestly can't use anything but my Paint Shop Pro 7. I love it very much. I tried nine, but I wasn't fond of it. I tried ten, but everything was in funny places. Eleven, well, I'm just not fond of that program at all. It is kinda hard to find 7 compatible stuff anymore, but there's a list on http://www.fallen-rose.com/ of all sorts of websites for Paint Shop Pro 7 because well, I use Paint Shop Pro 7 more than I use any other program. So yeah...if you're looking for brushes, than the list provided on that site should help you quite a bit.

I prefer to use PSP 8. I have tried the other versions but I just prefer to use version 8. Guess I don't like change too much. I have been using this version for around 4 years.

I think that happens with everyone. Depending on what version you start off on, you just tend to stick to the same version. I do the same thing. Since I started off making graphics, seven years ago, with Paint Shop Pro 7, I just fell in love with it. I'd rather use it than any other advanced program. Although, I'll admit, taht other programs are a bit more useful when it comes to text than Paint Shop Pro 7 happen to be. When it comes to text, I'll pull out Adobe Photoshop CS2, because I like the text options on the Photoshop program a lot more than on my Paint Shop Pro 7.

What other things can you do with text on Photoshop than PSP? I have wondered what the differences are in the 2 programs. I had Photoshop at one time but never opened it to use it. I know that I feel like I am forever learning about the program though--I seem to find new things all the time.

I agree with you. I'm always learning something new about Paint Shop Pro. It's fun - it's like a constantly new learning experience. Either way, Photoshop has a lot more options with the text. Under just one window, you can add bevel, drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow, satin, color overlay, gradient overlay, pattern overlay, and stroke. PSP doesn't offer too many of those options in a PSP equivilent, and especially not just in one window. For PSP, you have to hunt in different places in the program to find most of those options.

I have been using PSP 7 since it first came out. I tried 8 and didn't like it. A few years ago I started using linux as my operating system. Sadly I obviously couldn't use all my windows graphic programs anymore and I especially missed PSP 7. Then I found a commercial linux program call CrossOver (http://www.codeweavers.com/ ) that allows me to run PSP on my linux computer (they also have a version for Mac users) and the only version it will run is 7! I am a happy camper now!
