Jasc has just uploaded beta 4 of web designer's favorite graphic tool, Paint Shop Pro.

Paint Shop Pro provides the functionality of professional graphics and photo-editing software to a broad base of users worldwide at an affordable price. However, even the most popular software programs can continue to improve and innovate - and this new version of Paint Shop Pro does so with a compelling combination of creative design flexibility and editing power.

Paint Shop Pro 6 features powerful new editable text and graphic design tools that enable users to easily create, edit and produce professional-quality graphics that were previously only available by importing graphics created in a separate illustration program or by using expensive plug-in products. These new tools dramatically simplify graphic designers' workflow, further making graphics creation and editing an integrated and streamlined process.

The software engineers at Jasc have included many new features and enhancements that improve and enhance web graphics and photo editing projects. These include powerful new gradient options, a wide variety of new image effects and deformations, color adjustment layers, expanded digital camera support, multiple image printing and powerful optimization features for producing high-quality Web graphics with the smallest possible file sizes.
