Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 - Jasc Software, Inc. released Paint Shop™ Pro® 8 in April of 2003. It introduced the Automated Productivity Scripts™ and Dynamic Personalization™.

These industry firsts leveraged the open industry standards to deliver flexibility and workflow automation, to help drive increased productivity.

Dynamic Personalization gave it's users the freedom and ability to move their favorite or commonly used functions to the forefront, create unique menus, toolbars, keyboard shortcuts and workspaces. Users could also create specific work environments based on the tasks they wanted to accomplish. Automated Productivity Scripts let the users record, edit and replay commonly used commands, brush strokes and photo finishing techniques to enhance single photos or batches of photos automatically, streamlining workflow productivity.

The following tutorials were created using Jasc’s Paint Shop Pro 8. These were the first tutorials produced by Loadboy.com, originally as personal notes and later released to the public.

Paint Shop Pro 8 has been retired.
