What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

I'm a really long time user, and thus have developed muscle memory skills that speed my work with photos. I most enjoy automatic adjustments, cropping and the swift ability to enhance contrast and brightness.

"Quick Fix" is really powerful and almost always results in an ideal image. The Adjustment Wizard walks you through several enhancement steps, offering three image choices at each step. Or you may manually adjust virtually all aspects in an easy-to-use panel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

There no semiautomatic method for eliminating backgrounds or outlining people so that head/shoulder photos gain a white background that can be made transparent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

Easier to master than Photoshop and offers equivalent or better image manipulation power. I think PSP is ideal for non-graphically-inclined users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a content writer and curator, PSP delivers good quality photos to my writing, swiftly and dependably Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seems to be a memory hog - a lot of times, there is not enough memory to complete some tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

The photo editing abilities with this program are amazing! I do all of my photo restoration and alteration projects on this platform! No excuses! It has beautiful filters and unique tools to alter/restore almost any picture you throw at it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

Outside the photo editing abilities, I haven't had much use or success with this program. From a graphic designer standpoint, the use of this program stops after the photo is complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

Don't go into the program looking for a Photoshop alternative... but it has great potential in photo editing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

Great online community with lots of videos, tutorials and ways to connect with other users. Online topic/user guide that is easy to navigate and has search options to find solutions needed easier. Lots of customization options from everything to workstation color to toolbars and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

Hard to navigate. Features are hard to find. Free downloadable content can only be used on the 32-bit format. 32-bit format doesn't work on my computer. Slow to update bugs. Hard to import new content for program such as brushes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

If you are familiar with Photoshop or are wanting to learn how to edit photos on your own, Paintshop Pro is great and affordable with lots of easy to follow videos and tutorials! Can be frustrating to navigate at first, but does get easier with time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Paintshop Pro is primarily used for business purposes, but is used for some personal as well. I am able to edit photos fairly easily, and the smart fix is great for abstract photos. Used for correcting color in images and logos, as well as create new logos. Great for creating marketing content that I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
