Welcome to Apple Discussions!
http://www.lemkesoft.com/ 's GraphicConverter will open PaintShopPro documents and allow you to edit them and save them as any standard image format the Mac can handle which is TIFF, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, JPEG.

You can get the data over on a flash drive, or via an ethernet network, e-mail, or a FAT32 or FAT16 formatted IEEE 1394 or USB hard drive as well.

What way is most convenient for you?

Hi =Deevo=,

a brody's post on various ways to get files you've created in Paint Shop Pro covers things very well. But if you mean the application itself, you've got a couple of options.

Paint Shop Pro, as I'm sure you already know, is a Windows only program. As such, it won't run directly under OS X. What you can do is use Boot Camp to create a Windows partition on your MacBook and boot to Windows. Once there, you would install Paint Shop Pro per normal. Similarly, you could use an emulator such as Parallels to install Windows on your Mac. This method allows you to run Windows within OS X so you don't have to reboot in order to use it.
