The picture in v7.02 DOES have something to do with Adobe. It's the infamous "Atomic Dog" from v6.0 holding the cat from PhotoShop in its teeth! If you've seen both easter eggs before, this one is really quite funny.

This can be a tricky one, to make it work in psp 5x goto help, About, The window with the palette and JascSoftware will appear. hold down the right [CTL] [SHIFT] keys, and keep them pressed down while you double-click the JascSoftware logo and type in "paintshoppro" An "atomic-dog" eating a dead [A]dobe cat will appear. cute.:-)

I got it to work in v7.02 by doing this: 1 - Start Paint Shop Pro. 2 - Go into "Help\About Paint Shop Pro...". 3 - Hold down "Right-Shift" & "Right-Control". 4 - Double-Click the "Jasc Software" logo at the "top-left" of the about screen. 5 - While still holding down the "right" shift & control keys, type "jascsoftware" (no quotes). You should now see the about screen change to the "Atomic Dog holding the Cat in its mouth".

Finally got it to work. It mildly gave me the creeps when it suddenly appeared. An eerie picture indeed. In a creepy sort of way.
