(Original )Information
What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

The best thing is the flexibility of use with a vast array of filters, easy gradient use, and color correction/adjustment options that are available. I also love the wide variety of file formats that one can save as and open and the fact that my files can be saved on the PC with PSP and then opened in Photoshop for extra tweaking and usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

I have used PSP since version 5. As a freelance graphic designer, I loved the ease of use. With the last 3 upgrades, it's been a bit more challenging. I hate having to go through the manage tabs to get to my work space and the slow launch time of the software in general. I would also like to see the masking feature move a bit faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

This is great for beginners who don't have the money to commit to Adobe Photoshop or the Creative Cloud. There are a plethora of tutorials online and they are one of the best ways to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use it mostly to create free desktop wallpaper and pre-made book covers on my PC when I need specific filters that Photoshop and my Mac won't handle. The filters I can use here are the biggest draw and really help with the creative flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

The simplicity and ease of use. Despite having a wide variety of features, the program is not overly complex like some other graphic editing programs. It's easy enough for a beginner to use and has most (if not all) of the features that an expert would want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

I've had some sporadic issues with images not displaying correctly while editing. This might be related to my specific computer build and how RAM and temporary files are allocated though. There have been a few times where it has crashed on me when I was doing something overly complex, but it does offer a feature that allows for recovery of recently editing files. I rarely have any issues with the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

It's a bit different than using Adobe, but it has an easy learning curve. Way less expensive than competitor products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I utilize Paintshop Pro for designing book covers, business cards, web graphics, and general image manipulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

I was able to pretty much teach myself everything there is to know about using the program in a short period of time. I've been using it for years now and though I have tried other programs, I always go back to this one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

The initial setup of arranging all the tools on the toolbar the way you like them is the only issue I have with it. You kind of get used to having certain tools in certain spots, so when you get a new computer, have to reinstall it and have to start over with it, it can be kind of annoying to get everything back to where you like it to be. 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 the majority of the graphics on my website - the main website design, photographs of my products, etc. I edit literally everything with Paintshop Pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

We've used PaintShop Pro for a long time and have found it to be very easy and straight forward to use, with lots of great features. While I've never used PhotoShop I feel that this is a program that is more suited to the basic/medium skilled user while PhotoShop would be for the expert and a bit more complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

The only issue I've had is with occasional crashing of the program while I'm working on it, but it usually recovers what I'm working on when I restart it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

It is great if you want something that you can just install and get started using with the minimum of fuss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allowed us to edit images in a quick, professional way with little training. Speeding up the training of new staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

Lo mejor sin duda de Paintshop pro es su relación calidad-precio: Sin duda no puede compararse a otros softwares más avanzados tipo Photoshop, pero posee una gran parte de las mismas funciones, más que suficiente para un nivel medio y a un precio mucho menor. Sin duda, una gran elección para iniciados en la edición fotográfica digital. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

Quizás sus funcionalidades se queden algo insuficientes para un nivel de retoque digital profesional, siendo necesario pasar a otros programas más avanzados. Además, resulta algo difícil de manejar al comienzo, algo que puede solventarse con el magnífico manual de usuario online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
