While the program lets you choose to apply the settings to the full-size original image for more accurate proofing, there is no way to move the dialog box out of the way so that you can see the full image. Instead, you have to slide the dialog box around the screen to see the underlying original. Some of the larger dialog boxes obscure almost the entire image, making this a tedious process. An alternative to such fumbling is simply to click OK to close the dialog box and accept the current settings. Paint Shop Pro 7 also suffers from a few other interface anomalies.
Balloon help shows text labels after a second's delay, but the hunting is slow.
The program's toolbar icons, such as the subset shown above, can seem cryptic. Unlike its Adobe and Corel competitors, Paint Shop Pro doesn't let you dock or align palettes with ease. Instead, a Paint Shop Pro palette rolls up into its title bar when not in use, expanding only when the mouse cursor passes over it. This does reduce clutter somewhat, but you still need to move the palettes off to the side manually so that they don't unexpectedly pop open when you don't intend for them to. To be fair, I have the same complaint about many other such applications, including Photoshop.
