paint shop pro is an image editor with an intuitive and easy to use interface, without losing the possibility of professional work.

It has very good options such as one step photo fix, which in only one step can improve your photos, the browse option is very effective, being able to preview all the photos you have in a folder, you can work with layers, add a lot of effects and supports many raw formats.

The help tutorials are pretty easy to understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

I liked that it felt like Photoshop in some ways interface wise. I liked that you can choose which tools were visible and not visible from the tool bar also was alphabetized. There are many simple photo editing tools. It offers RAW photo editing and felt pretty simple to learn. More affordable than photo shop, i prefer to own programs oppose to subscriptions to products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

Did not see any options to save in CMKY Color modes which can be annoying if you plan to print images in this color mode. Way too many changes in shortcuts that you maybe adapted too in many other photo editing programs such as CTRL & + in windows does not zoom in. That shortcut felt like a reflex in many other programs to get you zooming into objects but not here. The program also kept glitching out with many pixels or sections of photos randomly vanishing when adding changes. There are many other better options out there if your a more advanced user in photo editing. Mac is also not supported with this program as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

Give the program a try with a free trial before purchasing to give you time to learn the program. Though i would prefer Adobe Photoshop over this program as someone who used Adobe Photoshop since Photoshops 7 release. Unless you prefer to pay once and not have to pay yearly which Paintshop pro not forcing a subscription only option is a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paintshop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Basic Photo Editing. Pretty easy to learn after watching tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

It is a software whose price is cheaper compared to other similar programs. A very complete and easy to use program. Corporate technical assistance It offers priority telephone access to the most specialized technicians and resolution of problems following an order of priority. It supports more than 250 RAW file formats. It also uses the same plugin architecture as Photoshop, allowing a high degree of expansion. offers numerous functions in a menu or in a tool window that allows us to perform functions such as darkening and lightening an image, automatic corrections, the colorkey technique enhances some motif of the image by giving it color in a gray background. The images can be modified by means of filters, the image can be given a special effect, such as movement, seen behind a glass with raindrops, mosaic type, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

Its reaction capacity is slower compared to other programs or it is heavier for the computer. It is not as well known as other programs. It is not compatible with Apple Macintosh. At the beginning it may be a little complicated to learn how to use it, since on the internet it is much easier to find tutorials about other similar and better known programs than this one. For me an excellent program and at a price much lower than Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

It is a simple image editing software with professional features that facilitates the creation of amazing photos and creative designs, in most cases photos or scanned documents. These images are modified to optimize them, manipulate them, retouch them, etc in order to reach the desired goal. One of the goals may be to eliminate faults that may have occurred during scanning or when photographing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paintshop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has easy to use tools, with which we can edit or restore photographs. Large amount of instant effects and option to create layers to achieve photo compositions or dynamic designs. It allows us to share photographs on different social networks and allows us to locate the photographs on a map by organizing photos by location. We can open and edit larger files at the same time and the program has more memory management. It has a sharpness in lines and colors. It has a fairly simple tool design. It really allows us to process images without much complication for projects within our company, where we have to carry information through networks through images, post, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

Paintshop Pro gives me the tools I need to create vibrant images and allow me to store them in more file formats than I've ever seen offered in other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

I feel like it's going to waste, because there are several more functions available in the program, that I'll likely never use them all. It's saddening, really. Perhaps there should have been a "lite" version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

Where to begin? As with any other software, there WILL be a learning curve when you first start using it. However, the curve isn't steep. There are many useful functions, however, I recommend turning off the splash screen, setting thumbnail size to no larger that 96 for file browsing, and last, I very highly recommend setting Paintshop Pro to be your default image editor for ALL the available image file types, with the exception of "GIF", which should remain deselected, so that Animation Shop (Paintshop's companion program) can handle those types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paintshop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Paintshop Pro lets me create the images I need for website design, document illustration, clipart based letterheads, and small animations to go into software I write. What I've been able to accomplish with it over the years, has saved me the cost of it's original purchase, many times over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

Paint shop Pro will appeal to you if you want simple software that is not confusing. For us it is a very comprehensive tool that I find easier and less complicated than other comparable photo editing programs. You can easily reach the goal from online videos about tools you don't know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

New features in PaintShop Pro include several selection tools that automatically track the curves of objects in photos. Since the Photoshop Elements Quick Selection Tool has been the same feature for years, it's a great tool, but not very revolutionary. In addition , the 64 operating system png files in the background selection is a problem.I would also like to update to change icon sizes and styles so that I can customize the icons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

If you are looking for a cheaper Photoshop, my advice would be choosing Paintshop Pro. Paintshop Pro can do much of what Photoshop can do. It has a simple operation and can see your basic needs. A program you really should try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paintshop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

If you are a first level user, piantshop pro will do the trick. but may not meet your expectations at later levels. After crossing the learning curve, I find Adobe as easy to use as its competitors. Photo editing tools are as good as Adobe, perhaps a bit more cumbersome, but I think it's better than the older versions of PaintShop Pro and not superior to its alternatives.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

I like that it offers devices I have to make dynamic pictures and enable me to store them in more document designs than I've at any point seen offered in other programming. I know it's not the famous one for creators to utilize, however I truly feel good with it. I truly like the UI. It's straightforward, yet successfully arranges the mind boggling apparatuses incorporated into Paintshop Pro. The interface is anything but difficult to explore, and even a learner could learn it in a brief timeframe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

I abhor experiencing the oversee tabs to get to my work space and the moderate dispatch time of the product when all is said in done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

Paintshop Pro is extraordinary and moderate with bunches of simple to pursue recordings and instructional exercises! Can be disappointing to explore at first, however gets simpler with time. It is anything but difficult to learn alone and for fledglings for some imaginative tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paintshop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Paintshop Pro for planning book covers, business cards, web illustrations, and general picture control. I use it for the most part to make free work area backdrop and pre-made book covers on my PC when I need explicit channels that Photoshop and my Mac won't deal with. The channels I can use here are the greatest draw and truly help with the imaginative stream. I've utilized Paintshop Pro for everything from cleaning up photographs, wireframes, logos and full introduction illustrations and outlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
