Paint Shop Pro 9

[Felix/FFDS]

Is out in 70-day timed beta from the JASC site.

I've found it to load much faster than PSP8/ and when I get it, PSP8 will be off my system.  Most work I still do in PSP7.

This is one program that gets better with every release (although I think that PSP8 was a "hiccup")  Am I biased in favor of PSP?  yes, I've upgraded every version since PSP1.0 in 1993, and I haven't even scratched the surface.

I take it that you like it?
I have been using PSP8 for awhile and like it but maybe you can help me with something.

Everytime I try to resize a photo (to post here or whatever reason) the photo is real bad quality, "pixelated?" .
But when I resize a photo with Ifanview it is just fine.
Is there some setting that I have yet to find or is it that PSP8 sucks at resizing?

Also why is it when I crop a photo (which would make you think makes it smaller) it increases in file size?
And I'm not "touching it up", or modifying the picture in anyway, just taking a photo fresh from camera, crop out the unwanted and then saving it, always comes out bigger in file size than the original.
