FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jasc® Paint Shop™ Pro® 8 'A Photographer's Dream' Voted Best Consumer Software
Eden Prairie, Minnesota (July 28, 2003) – Jasc Software, Inc. today announced that the Technical Image Press Association
(TIPA) Jury has voted Paint Shop Pro 8, digital photography and imaging software, the Best Consumer Software 2003/2004.
Paint Shop Pro 8 combines automatic and precision photo editing and graphic design tools with an integrated learning system to
help users produce superior results. By introducing industry firsts that streamline workflow and simplify complicated photo and
graphics techniques, Paint Shop Pro 8 makes powerful professional tools accessible to users of all skill-levels.
To win the TIPA award a photo, video or digital product has to be the best in its categories, be user friendly and offer smart
solutions, and a good price-value rate. TIPA awards are voted on by a jury of editors from 31 independently published magazines
in 12 countries. TIPA editors judge software on quality, performance and value criteria that are important to end-users.
"Paint Shop Pro 8 is a major upgrade of this popular image editing software which brings it up to par with professional packages
costing five to even ten times as much," The TIPA jury said. "Paint Shop Pro even offers some functions not found in those
packages, such as easy correction of lens distortion. That makes Paint Shop Pro 8 a photographers dream, for a very affordable
price indeed."
"TIPA is respected as Europe’s largest independent organization for photo imaging magazines," Kris Tufto, President and CEO
