Paint Shop Pro Image
Paint Shop Pro is similar to Adobe Photoshop and contains many of the same features, but the Paint Shop Pro application is offered at a more competitive price. The PSP files that are created by this software contain color bitmap images that have been saved in the Paint Shop Pro file format.
These images can include image guides, vector paths, metadata, layers, and other image objects.
The Paint Shop Pro application was originally created by Jasc Software. In October of 2004, the application was acquired by Corel.
