Even if you own both PaintShop and Photoshop, this little gem is more than worth the ticket. You can even record and save actions as macros. Symmetry mode creates amazing kaleidoscopes, and the best Dispersion effect I have ever seen. Its highlight features include custom brush nibs called Nozzle tips, which modify the shape and size of your lines as you draw them.

But my all-time favorite feature is the Picture Tubes, similar to Photoshop’s custom brushes, but in full 16-bit color. The Film effects are spectacular, the new SmartClone feature is amazing, and the Refine Brush, which finely details selections around difficult outlines such as hair and animal fur is superb. It provides hundreds of excellent features such as Capture, which is much better than Photoshop’s Snipping Tool.

I’ve used it since version 5 and have continued to upgrade through the current versions. PaintShop Pro ( $79.99, or $99.99 for the pro version) I also appreciate that GIMP works on multiple platforms, uses minimal system resources, and is super-easy to use. I especially like the Borders Sparkles, Reflections, and Gradient Flare effects and the Whirl and Pinch features. See Alvin Alexander’s blog for all the cool stuff GIMP can do.
GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) offers 130-plus amazing filters and special effects.
