Hi,
is there a portable application for PaintShopPro or another comparable program?
You are here
Paint Shop Pro?

GIMP
Paint Shop Pro isn't Opensource so there won't be an official PortableApps version of that program. Maybe you'll find a version from someone who made it on Google or you use GIMP which is available from this site.

Check it:
Simeon pointed out GIMP to you, which is a Linux-native app that's been ported to Windows some years back. This is a "comparable program", as you requested.
However, it's also a tad balky for us Windows users, due to its quirky interface.
For better compatibility w/ PSP, try looking for a version of GIMP known as "GimpShop", which is GIMP packaged in a wrapper to more closely mimic the interface of Windows Photoshop/PSP-type apps.
Bon appetit.

As said before
You can simply use GIMP Portable.
However, over at PortaSoft.org we made a portable version of Adobe PhotoShop, however due to trademark restrictions, we had to delete it.
However, if you have Photoshop, I/Deuce (?) can send you a copy of the launcher.

Well...
It may've been said before, but GIMPshop is a better implementation for those of us who are offput by GIMP's quirky interface.
Only, what I unfortunately *neglected* to say before was that GimpShop is ALSO portable.
As to Photoshop launcher, how can I get it from you?
I have a version of Photoshop 5 LE that I got as part of a promotion - will your launcher work w/ that?...

I don't think so
It's for Photoshop 7, however, it might work.
Mail me at cubegames[at]gmail.com
Anyway, AFAIK, GIMPshop is unmaintained, as we were going to do a version.

Yeah,
I looked at doing it, but the instructions that they gave for compilation didn't work, I might look at it again though over the summer (June time), as I would love to be able to get it to work.

@ rmccue:
1) Okay, I'll mail you at cubegames[at]gmail.com, but first, pray tell - how big is this package? I'm one of them "dialup dinosaurs", and can't download large files very well (at least, not ones that are e-mail attachments).
2) "unmaintained"?...
D'you mean that it has to be an active (meaning, "maintained", presumably) project to be able to do a PA version of it?

===================
@Steve Lamerton
What "doing it" did you look at?
D'you mean you looked at *trying out* Gimpshop?...
If so, there's no need to compile, as it already comes in a Windows flavor (if not, then plz Xplain what it is you "looked at" doing).

- 43kb
- As in, it uses an old version of GIMP, so it's not really worth it.
- WRT Steve's comment: He meant updating the base version of GIMP it's compiled from so it uses a more recent version.

Have a look at Gimp 2.3.x
For those of you who don't like Gimp's interface, have a look a the developer builds of 2.4! The latest version is 2.3.14. I have been using 2.3.11 for quite a while now and IHMO the user interface has been cleaned up considerably. It is considered unstable, but I haven't had any problems. Just copy it in over a GimpPA build and it should work. Thats what I did with 2.3.11. Been going to do 2.3.14, but got lazy.
