Interesting Article on PaintShop Pro

Post by csh2000 »

Found this article on Tedium talking about the roots of PaintShop Pro.

"Painting Outside The Lines"
"Adobe was already a big company when it first made Photoshop, but its biggest competitor, Paint Shop Pro, was built by an airline pilot in his free time."

Interesting article- so much I didn't know about PSP history. Corel"s handling of their pledge to keep the Minnesota office open is par for the course.

Thanks for the heads-up :-)
That pilot was a clever chap.

I knew the story, having been a devotee since the early days.
I hope that the current PaintShop Pro thrives and continues to do so.
