║ PaintShop Pro ║
║ for Windows ║
╙───────────────╜
by Tony Curro
I have been using a scanner to scan images. I could not resize or
otherwise manipulate the image. PSP solved this problem for me.
PaintShop Pro for Windows (PSP), is a full featured image utility.
Anything you wish to do with just about any type of image, PSP can
do it.
In writing the magazine, I have been wanting to capture the actual
screens of various programs. PSP can do it. Once you capture the
screen, you can use PSP to further manipulate this image. Save it in
a myriad of formats including: BMP/DIB/RLE, GIF, IMG, MAC, MSP, PCX,
PIC, RAS, TGA, TIF, WPG. You can save BMP, and DIB in Windows or
OS/2 format. Or save it to several formats, or convert it from one
to another.
Many times I capture the whole screen, and then decide I want a
portion of the screen. No problem since PSP will allow you to trim
the image, or to resize it from 320x200, to 1024x768, or you can set
your own custom size. When you go into capture mode, you can capture
the whole screen, or using the mouse draw a box around the area you
wish to capture. In this mode, you see the size of the image as you
are creating the box.
In addition, you can enhance the image or turn a color image into
greyscale. PSP can increase colors from 16 colors (4bit) to 16
Million colors (24 bit). Color can be decreased from 32K colors (16
bit) to 2 colors (1 bit). You may adjust RGB, Brightness, Contrast
and so on. There is the ability to mirror, flip, or rotate an image;
apply filters to sharpen, smudge, soften images, or create
user-defined filters.
Installation is very quick as there are only a few files. On-screen
help is always available. Another great feature is that PSP is
Shareware. You can download it and try it before you make up your
mind.
I was very satisfied with the product, and have awarded it an
Editor's Award for 1992. It is powerful, and yet reasonably priced.
Look for PSP102.ZIP, on many BBSs. This was the current version as
of this writing.
