I think the evaluation copy came free on a cd in some computer magazine a friend had bought.For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.Im firmly in the last two camps, and while I will use older versions of say, Skype, so I dont fall prey to Microsofts irritating advertising, the oldest program I still have in use is Paint Shop Pro 7.We both found it to be an excellent tool, powerful for its day with a great, easy to use interface, and introduced us to the concept of layers (basic stuff, I know, but back then.).
Turtle Beach Cd Master Studio Edition Tbs2050 Free On AWhen version 6 came out, we upgraded to that, and then again with 7. Jasc Software, the developers, redesigned the interface for 8 and 9 and we didnt like it, so we stuck with 7. Wed already dismissed 8 and 9, so we just ignored what Corel was doing with PSP and kept using 7. Why do we use it Well, theres the great, minimalist interface, which is very easy to learn. Were both self taught, which should tell you all you need to know about how easy it is to learn and master. While everyone else used Photoshop or Gimp or whatever, we stuck with this old program. I have used it to repair some old photographs for my mother, getting rid of scratches and restoring colour, as one example. Probably the biggest reason I love it, though, and the function I use the most, is its image browser. I tried moving on and using other programs a few years back, but they either had a seperate browser in a different program or didnt have one at all. PSP drops a small file called pspbrowse.jbf every time you browse a folder, and it helps the program to remember the order of the images you browse. This means that, whenever I browse my documents folder, which is years old, all the images are in the proper order from the dates they were added. Screw having to learn a new program with a browser that will wreck the nice order PSP has been giving me for well over a decade now. A friend of mine got irritated when I mentioned this to him, and he said I was asking for too much (how could I be when PSP has been giving me what Ive been looking for in a newer program since the late 90s I have it installed on both my desktop and laptop (Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8.1 x64, respectively) and it still works with no problems, despite being designed for Windows 9x way back in the 90s. I just checked the build date and it is from September 18th, 2000. I remember working a lot with Paint Shop Pro 7 too, is it even sold these days I would prefer it over Photoshop. I prefer adding music albums into the playlist by folders, or just opening a playlist I created earlier. I tried to use Foobar 2000 once to identify and catalogue my music folder, but it just saw everything as being from the Changing Lanes OST for some bloody reason, and changed the id3 tags accordingly. Im also still on Lion on Mac (I think), I need to use it daily for work so I dont have time to upgrade or troubleshoot if therere problems.
