'''Paint Shop Pro''' ('''PSP''') is a [[raster graphics editor]] and, later in the series, a [[vector graphics editor]] for computers running the [[Microsoft Windows]] [[operating system]] that was originally published by [[Minneapolis]]-based [[Jasc Software]]. In October 2004, [[Corel|Corel Corporation]] purchased Jasc Software and the distribution rights to Paint Shop Pro. PSP functionality can be extended by [[Photoshop plugins|Photoshop-compatible plugins]]. They are listed in the 'Effects' menu, below the built-in effects.

==Events==
Originally called simply '''Paint Shop''', the first version, 1.0, was released in early 1992. Paint Shop was originally distributed as [[shareware]] and is still available at many download sites (4.12 being a popular version). Newer versions are only available commercially. A key competitor is [[Adobe Photoshop]], the commercial market leader in this category. Photoshop’s popularity is in part because Photoshop is available in an [[Apple Computer|Apple]] [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]] version, the platform widely used in the print publication industry, whereas Paint Shop Pro only runs on Microsoft platforms. While Photoshop is a popular piece of editing software, PSP is also widely used due to the lower price, and it was frequently called the "poor man's Photoshop." Corel announced, on [[November 28]], [[2007]], that the office that created Paint Shop Pro would be shut down with development moved to offices in California and Taiwan. <ref>[http://www.startribune.com/business/11902066.html Corel to close Eden Prairie office]</ref>

==Criticisms==
===Pricing policy===
There have been criticisms of Corel's pricing policy that pitches international versions at significantly higher prices than those charged in the US.<ref>[http://dpnow.com/4320.html Features - Critical Focus: Software pricing - it's an international rip-off - Digital Photography Now<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>


*National Eisteddfod of Wales: Chair - [[Edgar Phillips]]
===Unreliability and instability===
*National Eisteddfod of Wales: Crown - [[Simon B. Jones]]
Version XI, in its launch version of 11.00, was criticized for the number of bugs and also for the 'Organizer' function's high CPU usage. Some of the issues were addressed in the patch to version 11.11 but the Organizer continued to attract criticism. It remains problematic when working with large picture collections. The 'Organizer' issue has been fixed in version 11.20.


===Spyware allegations===
Versions XI and X2 install a third party program named PSIService.exe, listed under [[Windows service]]s as ProtexisLicensing. Written by [[Protexis]], this runs in the background and collects licensing information. This program communicates with a remote host{{Fact|date=December 2007}} and is described in some posts as spyware.{{who}} The Corel [[Software license agreement|EULA]] does not reveal that installation of Version XI or X2 will result in the installation and continued background execution of this non-Corel program. Uninstalling XI will not uninstall PSIService.exe; and upon manually disabling the Protexis Licensing service, Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo will cease functioning, stating "This copy of Paint Shop Pro has been damaged or illegally modified. Please reinstall from your original source."


===Limited color depth support===
===New books===
*[[David James Davies|D. J. Davies]] – ''The Economic History of South Wales''
The latest version X2 has an incomplete implementation of 48-bit color. This color depth is limited to a handful of digital image correcting features, but not full-blown photo editing, where the real benefit can be realized. Updating to the latest version 12.01 will not provide full color depth support.<ref>[http://www.corel.com/content/psppx2/1201/release_notes_en.html Version 12.01 Release Notes]</ref>
