I couldn't be happier with PaintShop Pro 2020 Ultimate, Amazon exclusive version! I'm a long time user of PSP since the days of Jasc, and I couldn't be more pleased with 2020 Ultimate. The price is fantastic... $84.52 for not only the original software but also for the bonus pack from Amazon! Before purchasing, I read reviews that weren't very flattering, mostly related to download/installation issues. I took a chance anyway and it was a flawless process.
I made the purchase last night and even though Amazon indicated I'd have the disc in my hand by this morning, I was impatient. :) So I downloaded the trial version of PSP Ultimate from the Corel site and was able to play with it last night and set all my preferences. The first one I changed was the color of the workspace to dark gray. It's a very attractive and streamlined workspace. In my opinion, it just keeps getting better with each new version of PSP.
When the package was delivered by Amazon first thing this morning, it was very simple to enter the serial number that's on the CD sleeve and the purchase was complete. The next step was to put the CD in the computer and install each of the "extras" one by one. The setup is simple and easy to follow... choose which software you want to install first, accept the agreement by checking a box, and choose installation options (there aren't many, very easy to do), and enter a serial number. I read a review that said the numbers are too long. It's not a big deal... 28 digits with hyphens along the way to make it simpler to copy the code. Someone else was unhappy that the extras weren't built into PSP. Also... not a big deal. Shortcuts can be placed on the desktop automatically during the installation process. And the extras are very cool and fun! I was amazed by the one that will animate portions of photos. While it was being installed, a sample was shown on my screen and it was very cool. Can't wait to try it! Move down the list of software choices and install one by one, then you're done!
I highly recommend PSP 2020 Ultimate, especially the Amazon exclusive version. There's nothing else out there that's of such high quality for such a great price.
I promise I don't work for Corel lol I'm just someone who was almost scared away from purchasing because of negative reviews. But I'm so happy I took a chance. Now I'm going to go play with PSP and see what all I can do with it :)

There's not much difference between the pro version and the ultimate version. With ultimate you get a few added programs. They're not necessary just fun little extras that I rarely even use. But every so often I like to upgrade to the ultimate version just for fun.
I purchased this 2020 version for a extremely low price, unbelievably low. I'm not sure if it was a return that they sold as new, or just a damaged case. But it works perfectly. I noticed others complained that the program wasn't included on the disc. That is not accurate. I installed the full program off of the DVD ROM that came with it. If you have any issues installing it. It might be that you're computer is not new enough to run this program or you're just doing something wrong. It is a extremely large file and even though my computer is one of the fastest ones I've ever seen, it still took 30 to 45 minutes to to install off the disc.
I highly recommend this product. If you have any concerns about it check out some tutorials on YouTube. It's a very easy program to learn. It comes with multiple versions of the program for different skill levels. There's the professional photographer version as well as a amateur or beginner version. There both installed at the same time in the same program. You could access either version through the startup window.
This program is good for graphic design and scrapbooking, but don't let that fool you it is a unbelievable program for professional photographers as well.
