Paint Shop Pro 9 TM is a very powerful graphics software and is easy to use once the basic concepts are grasped by the user. Oct 23, 2019 The links given in this forum triggered me as I' was also searching for the Dutch updates of JASC Paint Shop Pro 9 So for those whom it might concern: JASC's website was transferred to Corel's when they acquired JASC somewhere in 2004. But; the website was transferred 'as is' so without adjusting the original sites links.

The X-numbered editions have been sold in two versions: PaintShop Pro, which is the basic editing program, and PaintShop Pro Ultimate, which bundles in other standalone programs, additional artistic tools and/or plugins. The particular bundled programs have varied with each numbered version and have not been sold by Corel as separate products.
PSP comes with an interface for automating tasks with scripts written in Python.
History[edit]
Paint Shop Pro 8 Free
Originally called simply Paint Shop, the first version, 1.0, was a basic picture converter between BMP, GIF and PCX formats, conceived by Robert Voit [3][4] and developed by Joel DeRider. It was released by Robert Voit in August 1990. Paint Shop was originally distributed as shareware and is still available at many download sites (4.12 being a popular version). Most newer versions are only commercially available although some have been distributed in the United Kingdom in computer magazine CDs after they became obsolete.
Paint Shop Pro 5 added support for layers as well as CMYK and HSL colour modes, included JASC Animation Shop for creating animations and in fact was marketed as 'Paint Shop Pro 5.0 with Animation Shop'.[5] PaintShop Pro X6 was the first to be available as a native 64 bit version (purchase includes both versions).[6] PaintShop Pro X7 includes content-aware features such as 'Magic Fill' and 'Smart Edge' as well as support for XMP sidecar files that preserve edit settings for raw formats.[7]
From 2006 to 2011 (versions XI to X3), PaintShop Pro was marketed as 'Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo'. Having dropped the 'Photo' part of the name in version X4, Paintshop Pro X5 was derived from Ulead Photo Explorer after Corel's acquisition of Ulead.[8]
On November 28, 2007, Corel announced that the office in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, where Paint Shop Pro was created, would be shut down, with development moving to offices in California and China.[9]
Picture tubes[edit]
Picture tubes are graphic images with no background. They are often used as a starting point for complex images; that is, they are combined with other image elements to produce a final work. Tubes can also be regarded as graphic brushes based on a pre-created image; this was their original use.[10] Instead of leaving a trace of color on the canvas, they would leave a trail of images. Popular tube subjects include alphabets, humans (also known as dollz), animal and toy figures, flowers, love messages and seasonal symbols.
The tube system originated with PSP Pro version 5. Native tube files may be in .tub, .psp, .pspimage, and .psptube formats.[11]XnView, IrfanView, and TubeEx are separate graphics programs that can convert tube files (.tub) to .png.
Ultimate edition[edit]
PaintShop Pro Photo X2 Ultimate was released towards the end of life of PaintShop Pro Photo X2, in September 2008. It included 150 additional picture frames and Picture Tubes, the programs Background Remover, Corel Painter Photo Essentials 4, and Photorecovery, as well as RAW support for 250 cameras and a 2GB flash drive.[12]
Subsequent Ultimate editions were released contemporaneously with the basic version. PaintShop Pro X4 Ultimate included Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0, a voucher for 21 images from Fotolia at high quality, and additional Picture Tubes. X5 Ultimate included Reallusion FaceFilter Studio 2.0, NIK Color Efex Pro 3.0, and 'over 100 unique brushes, textures and royalty-free backgrounds'.[13] PaintShop Pro X6 Ultimate includes Athentech Imaging's Perfectly Clear and Reallusion's FaceFilter3 Standard.[6] PaintShop Pro X7 Ultimate includes those same two items.[7]
Jasc Paint Shop Pro Free
The bundled extras cannot be installed unless that version of the PaintShop program is already installed. However, once a bundled extra such as a plugin has been installed, the installed files can be copied to other versions, e.g., a plugin installed under X5 can be copied to X6 and even if X5 is then uninstalled, the plugin will continue to work under X6. Corel releases a new X version roughly annually, so this ability to copy means PSP users do not have to choose between updating or continued use of Ultimate add-ons from previous versions.

License management software[edit]
Versions X through to X8 install a third party program named PSIService.exe, a Windows service called ProtexisLicensing. Written by Protexis, this runs in the background and collects licensing information. This program communicates with a remote host. Manually disabling the Protexis Licensing service may cause Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo to cease functioning.[citation needed]

External links[edit]
Paint Shop Pro started life as a no-frills shareware program for no-frills image editing. These days it costs more than $20, but it’s also more than the cheapskate’s alternative to Photoshop. Paint Shop Pro 9 is a mature and very impressive application. Combining an extensive range of bitmap-editing tools with some nice vector drawing and animation features, this program is a steal at $119. There’s something for every PC user in here — general image editing, photo touchup, Web art, and new natural media tools for the artistically inclined. The list of additional features in version 9 runs four pages long, making the program a serious competitor to Adobe Photoshop. Now that Corel Corporation has acquired Jasc Software, Paint Shop Pro’s developer, perhaps the application will get newfound respect.
A Minor Facelift
Major improvements to the interface include a History palette that records every action you take while editing an image. Photoshop has had this feature for years, and it’s nice to see this addition. With the History palette, you can step backwards and forwards through your actions and save everything to a script to replay at another time (see Figure 1).
Another new feature that I really like is the ability to arrange open images in tabs at the top of the workspace. You can easily scroll through the images with the backward and forward buttons — a much nicer way to wander through multiple documents than using the Window menu command.
Paint Shop Pro has 10 palettes, and the workspace can become so cluttered with little boxes that it becomes impossible to do any actual work. Version 9 adds the ability to roll up palettes and pop them open or closed via a single click to save valuable screen real estate.
A few minor improvements, such as the ability to associate a script to an icon and a more convenient Mixer palette for creating and mixing colors, make the interface easier to use.
We admit to being bewildered by one change listed in the docs: “What was labeled the Layers palette in previous versions is now called the Layers palette.” Sounds like an improvement that originated in the Department of Redundancy Department.
Fix Those Pix
Frankly, I was awed by Paint Shop Pro’s digital photography features. Some photo buffs will be pleased to see support for Raw camera formats (unprocessed, uncompressed data), but the collection of filters for touching up and reviving flawed photos are worth the price of the program. You’ll find filters that: remove noise; remove chromatic aberration; add fill flash and backlight; and correct distortions such as pincushion, barrel, and fisheye. Other functions will fix color; correct faded photos; improve clarity and contrast; and repair defects such as speckles, JPEG artifacts, scratches, and redeye.
To give you an idea of the how good these filters are, look at the two images below (See Figure 2):
On the top is an unretouched photo of a stingray taken in the murky waters of Thailand last summer. The photo on the bottom shows the result after running the Clarify filter twice. Notice that the edges show none of the pixelated artifacts you would see if you used a standard sharpening filter.
After you’ve tweaked your image, you can add captions and frames, arrange batches of photos in a template, and prepare images for Web graphics via image maps, rollovers, and slicing.
Brushes and Pencils and Chalk, Oh My!
The biggest news in Paint Shop Pro 9 is the addition of natural-media brushes and surfaces. In reality, most serious digital artists use Corel Painter, usually in conjunction with Photoshop — a costly combination that’s complex to learn. Paint Shop Pro’s new art media tools are an inexpensive way to experiment with digital artwork. It supports basic media types such as oil, chalk, pastel, crayon, pencil, and palette knife, and all were surprisingly responsive (see Figure 3).
Unfortunately for Paint Shop Pro, I was reviewing Corel Painter 9 at the same time I was writing this review, so although I thought the new features in Paint Shop Pro were nice, they just couldn’t compete with Painter’s astounding breadth of features and exquisite sensitivity. Paint Shop Pro lacks a watercolor brush and its cloning — that is, morphing an underlying image by painting with natural brushes on a layer of “tracing paper” — wasn’t very easy to work with. However, for simple effects, the new tools are pretty good.
Learn by Reading
We don’t often comment on documentation, but the manual that ships with this package is exceptional. Unlike many manuals that simply give the steps required to carry out a task, this one tells you why you might want to use a feature and explains in detail exactly what you need to do and why. For example, The Chromatic Aberration Removal section describes what chromatic aberration is, what causes it, and where you might be likely to notice it in your digital photos. Each option for the filter is clearly explained so the user can understand exactly what the parameters do. The book is also filled with little sidebar nuggets that make for interesting and informative reading. The 502 pages might seem daunting, but beginners will find the contents provide a complete and enjoyable short course in bitmap and vector editing.
In many ways, Paint Shop Pro is more versatile than Photoshop and we found the program’s easy accessibility and flexible vector/raster capabilities a treat. You won’t find good vector drawing tools in Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro’s array of picture-fixing filters make the program much more useful to the casual digital photographer than Photoshop.
In fact, with a single major exception (working in CMYK), Paint Shop can do just about everything Photoshop can and quite a bit more. We think this program is a terrific alternative to Photoshop, particularly for digital camera buffs who want to quickly fix pictures, add captions, and rig up simple Web pages.
