In appreciation for your comments on my graphics software question. (I
didn't realize closing the question meant it closed the comments down
too!)

Thanks to all for the help.

Why thank you so much, einhard. I do hope you enjoy using Paint Shop
Pro and it makes the task of removing backgrounds easy and enjoyable
for you.

I have not personally used the latest Beta (8) but I have heard
excellent things about the new advances in this build and I understand
it will be released shortly. When you purchase 7, you will gain a free
upgrade to 8. And I think you will find this is perhaps 80 or 85% of
the power of Photoshop at 20% of the cost, or less. And most, if not
all of the filters, actions and plug-ins that can be used with
Photoshop can be used with Paint Shop Pro, as well.

Hi,

Had to add my 39 cents...I've used Paint Shop Pro for several years
now.  It's terrific... they also have a members forum if you have
questions.  Free and very informative.

Thanks for the additional links! I've downloaded PSP and have tried it
out on some sample images. I'm getting remarkably good results with
their Smart Edge lasso...not as good as freehanding it, but it sure is
fast. This should be easy enough for one of the staffers to handle.
Thanks!
