PSP was never really a Corel product, it was a Jasc Software product which they acquired when they bought the company. Corel initially promised to maintain the Jasc office in Minnesota, where all of the development was being done. Eventually, just 3 years later, they closed down the office and fired most people. That essentially gutted the culture and destroyed any chance that PSP would ever be as successful as it was in the early 2000s.
- Stratoscope 7y agoAh yes, thank you for bringing back bad memories! ;-) Although I was only involved as a long-time paying Jasc customer, I remember the acquisition vividly. It was Jasc's PaintShop Pro that I used and enjoyed for several years before Corel bought them out. It really went downhill after that.
