Corel Paint Shop Pro vs. Photoshop.

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2007

I'm a full-time photographer. I've used Photoshop 7 for years and never even touched the capabilities it has and I just couldn't justify spending hundreds of dollars to learn it. When reading reviews on PSP, and reading it's capabilities, I decided to try it. It exceeded my expectations! The ease of "one click" fixes and effects is second to none. I will say this, though, the "one-click" fixes aren't perfect but, in my case of only needing them to make the proofs look pretty good before doing any major adjusting, it works tons better than PS7. Is there a learning curve? Of course. As with any good program, to get the full benefits, there are learning curves. The MAJOR thing I like about PSP is the step-by-step help they have by clicking the "Help" button. Anything you want to do, and the program is capable of doing, will be spelled out in easy-to-understand terms. Would I recommend this program? If you're a serious photographer and want easy "quick fixes" as well as having complete control for major fixes, this would be the program for you. If you're just a weekend family shooter, I'm sure there are less expensive programs that would do you just fine. M. Miller

Keeps My Hard-drive Humming

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2007

I've been using PSP since it was a free program. At least 10 years. It is my favorite, and this program allows for almost all the fun stuff that I've come to expect. Still, as soon as I find my PSP 8 CDs I will revert back because this version isn't my favorite.

1) This version is keeping my hard drive humming. What is it with computer programers these days? They don't seem to be happy unless they can get 55 processes running in my CPU. I have the fastest computing machine I've ever owned yet this version of PSP is slowing down my computing like never before. This has nothing to do with the images I'm working on. It has to do with the programming choices they made. One thing I've yet to figure out how to get rid of is the Yahoo Toolbar integration.

2) But they got rid of other cool programs. There is no animation shop. "Dear Santa, Please tell Corel to put Animation Shop back in PSP."

Corel PSP11

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2007

I started using PaintShopPro when it was shareware and finally got around to upgrading. In short, it is everything old PSP was, plus all of the bells and whistles for modern graphics editing. PSP11 is being marketed as a photo editing tool rather than a graphics editor, but it does both functions very nicely. My package came with a trial photo upload/download program called Snapfire which is a convenient way to manipulate and share photos. I have little use for it, but it installs easily and provides a convenient interface for such tasks. After installing PSP11, I could not stop an upgrade notice from appearing on my startup screen, but the tech support people held my hand through an upgrade/download process which corrected the problem quickly. I highly recommend PSP11 for any basic graphic and photographic editing tasks. It includes drivers for most digital cameras and scanners, and can simplify everything you need to do with digital images. For example, I use it to refine and print digital images of census images and other scanned documents. It's the best tool I've ever used for that purpose.

Worst product and support out there !

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2006

I have been using Paint Shop Pro products for well over ten years. I started with version 3 and have upgraded through every version up to the current version XI. Jasc software, the original manaufacturer sold out to Corel after version 9. Version 9 was wonderful as every version before it was nearly perfect and sold at a very competative price. At version X, Corel took over from Jasc. I upgraded and was very disapointed in almost every aspect of their new program. Well it's been almost a year now and once version XI was released I purchased it hoping the problems with version X were corrected. Not only were the original flaws and bugs still in the latest version but major new bugs were there as well. The loading and transitioning through various folders to view and work on images have become extremely slow. While you await the program to load and then transition from one folder to another (you can wait up to 2 minutes for this to occur every time) if you click on anything at all, the system can lock up where restarting the program is the only fix. Calling Corel support is useless, they tell you this only happens the first time you start the program and will not happen afterward. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program at least three times with no improvement at all. I have a new PC that is used mostly for photography and it fast enough to handle any other program out there including video media and other photo software. My PC is not at fault as Corel likes to say each time I call.

Corel, you have lost a long term user of this program and I am quite sure many more will follow suit. You have had almost two years at working with Paint Shop Pro and it is obvious that you can't resolve the bugs you have added to this once very fine program. The current version of Paint Shop Pro is absolute GARBAGE......DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on this product.
