I am pretty sure (as I have a copy) that PaintShop Pro (by Jasc software) is not free anymore. I know that a long time back it was shareware, but to get a current version you need to pay for it (just checked their site and this is the case).

Maybe someone has an older version floating around?

As far as photo editing, PaintShop Pro is pretty good in that it does all of the basic tasks (and some of the more complex ones as well) very well. For the price it is one of the better ones on the market (hmm, this might sound like an ad... I'm just a user of the software and have no link to the company).
