Wannabe designers - now is a chance to escape the ravages of editing your hi-res pictures in Microsoft Paint. If of course, for some reason, you would want to. After all, if you can't solve it with a heady mixture of rectangle and the spray can tool why bother?

Anyhow you have until the 31st August to purchase Corel's (formerly Jasc's) Paint Shop Pro at an especially bargainous price. Until then, you can purchase it for under half price - a most reasonable £41.

No, it doesn't have the word "Photoshop" in its title, but nor does it have its (literally) above £500 pricetag.

It does however include a huge pile of reassuringly-meaningless-to-the amateur capabilities to "adjust, retouch, create, collage, add graphics and effects, organise and share" all your dodgy old photos. It really is most likely more than enough for your average web designer. It works with pressure sensitive tablets for maximum artistry, and has plenty of "one click fix" buttons so you can gain kudos for effects you have no idea how to do. If a mere five billion menu options isn't good enough for you, you can install Photoshopesque plugins.

Get it now and you also get free tutorials from Lynda.com, Corel Photo Album and Pixmantec Rawshooter Essentials, whatever they maybe. It even comes with the one thing you can't steal from the Internet - a manual, albeit not the most comprehensive.
