Those of you might not know of a successful Windows program called
JASC Paintshop Pro, not to be confused with Adobe Photoshop. I had
become *ed to its featureset and ease of use over the years. Now,
however, I'm on Red Hat 8 Linux and I need the same thing as I am a
Java web developer. Gimp can do some things, but in my opinion it is
not as user-friendly as Paintshop Pro. I often get confused in Gimp on
how to carry out a task, such as how to increase the canvas size
without stretch the image and without creating a transparent area in
the new canvas space.

Has anyone considered making a clone of Paintshop Pro for Linux, or
perhaps ported the source?

You could try running PSP with WINE, or ask about particular gripes you have
with GIMP and use it.

Have a look at Sketch, it is easy to draw lines and shapes and if you need
any special features you can always save the image and import it into gimp.

Thanks. I tried the latest WINE which I picked up from:

http://www.winehq.com/

I had to put the files under /usr/share/wine-c/Program Files/PSP and then copy
all the MSV*.DLL and MFC*.DLL files from a W2K system into the
/usr/share/wine-c/system directory.

Then, from command-line, I was able to use "cd" to change to that directory
and then type "wine Psp.exe" (case-sensitive) in order for it to launch.
