    I don't know about 7 but v. 5 is what I usually use. I bought it
    for $100 back in the late 90s. V. 5.01 at that link looks like the
    right size. I also have 8, but found it bloated and hard to use.
    And I have PSP16, but that's very bloated. I mostly only use it
    for things like picky editing of RAW photos. For most things I
    still prefer PSP5. It's got almost all the tools with none of the
    bullshit.

    I have one of the free versions of 7.02 and I could put it up on my
    web site if anyone wants it.

    That's what one get for being greedy and tries to download the latest
    version. Greedy ones are always the easy victims.

    That link used to be fine. Several of the old version sites
    are legit. Though I had trouble with all of them recently. The
    downloads were not working. I don't know why.

    I just tried downloading PSP5.01 from
    the link above and unpacked it with Universal Extractor.
    Everything looks legit, tthough I didn't actually try running it.
    I didn't try 7. I think that was the second version I bought
    and it was a mess. Confusing junk likeGIF options on the
    toolbar menu. Try to draw a rectangle and I had to chose between
    numerous shapes... Lots of things that little kids might like,
    but that are not part of a graphic editor.

    And who the heck is Brad Renford, for that matter?
    Responding to a 1 1/2 year old post, from Google
    Groups, with a false, paranoid warning. It looks to me
    like someone who resents freeware. Maybe an Adobe
    shill or some such. Though probably just a loner. I can't
    imagine it's worth the trouble for the likes of Adobe
    to market paranoia to a small band of old men. :)
