What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

I actually did not seek out this product. I was creating a brochure for a nonprofit company and needed to change the background color of the main image. I did not have enough time to fully learn PhotoShop, so my peer suggested this product and it was great. Somewhat easy to use (after a few tries) and I was able to easily covert the background color to be exactly what I needed. Additionally, I liked how I could change specific images to be transparent if needed.

This is a versatile tool that someone with a little Paint experience can use, and does not require hours of training like PhotoShop. Although it is not as robust as it's counterpart, I definitely benefited from this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

The only thing I really disliked about this product was the lack of instructions. The old fashioned Paint product is very easy to use, and you can still do a decent amount with it. I began using PaintShop Pro with the belief the product was just as simple. The knowledge base does not compare to it's competitor, but to accomplish any tasks, you really need to have some idea of what you're doing with graphic/image software.

I also didn't like how the buttons were not intuitive. Just by looking at a button, I could not tell what it's functionality was, and I had to do a little digging to get my answers. This product would be much better if it offered a high level overview or tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

Make sure you have an idea of how to use editing software. This is not TOO in-depth, but you need some base prior to using PaintShop Pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was able to easily edit and adjust multiple brochures and marketing material for a small nonprofit company. The budget was very tight, so I didn't have the ability to spend to much time learning PhotoShop or hiring outside agencies. I was able to easily and quickly complete the edits, and the results were great! PaintShop Pro is fairly easy to use, a free online download (big positive), and can be used to achieve in-depth tasks. Overall, a great buy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the way I can create the artist feeling through editing my photos with Corel Paintshop Pro Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

Nothing much, except that there seem to be so many editing options that I can't seem to locate them as easily as I would like. But I am learning. I just got the product and am using the free trial. Had it for close to a month. It's not expensive. I do love editing with it. It has the HDR, which I needed and the way I have repaired photos has been exceptional quality. I am able to produce the photo as I recall seeing it, and how it made me feel! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

It's worth purchasing after the free trial. It's an excellent product. Producing wonder photographs. Be sure to watch the tutorials, as it offers many options for editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a lot of photography programs this one was easy to use. This program really is for the beginner. I loved starting out and working with this program. Paintshop Pro has the basics that is needed when it comes to working with different images. I will say that the simple to use aspect is the main thing that I loved about it. As I moved on with my work I can say that I outgrew the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

There was nothing that I did not dislike. It was something that was easy to use and learn photo manipulation on. I did move on and out grew the program, I wish it was something that would grow with you adding in different things about the program. However it is not and a downer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

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

Currently I have no real business problems to be solving. I as a professional photographer and owner of my business have found that I really have to keep up with the different programs and find what is best for me. It is something that is a little difficult to figure out when it comes with photography. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The feature-set is very rich but some of the functionality can be a little overwhelming if you're just trying to quickly edit a photo for a web site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use PSP primarily for web development and it's an ideal tool to allow me to quickly and easily create and edit the graphics that I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

While not as well known or used as Adobe Photoshop, Paintshop Pro offers many similar features at a lower costs. From advanced font implementation features to some very smooth photo editing tools, the program is very versatile for many needs. I remember using the program when it was a limited shareware program before being acquired by Corel. Today it features some of the most robust feature tool sets available for editing still media. In my usage, it really works well with photo editing and management purposes. It has many of the same tools found in Photoshop and is even compatible with Photoshop plugin tools. Perhaps one of its best features is the ability to work with a large number of different image file formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

Its not Photoshop. For some purposes, Photoshop still shines as the best image editor on the market. Some of the tools can be a little difficult to use, especially when compared to Photoshop's tools. The interface is a little clunky at times and can be slower than more streamlined editors. Then again the same could be said for Photoshop. Some users complain the Paintshop Pro has a steep learning curve and this can be true, especially if one is new to image editing. Other issues can include the program's overall preview speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

When looking at purchasing Paintshop Pro, take a detailed look at its handling of fonts. Some users may find its font system to be highly usable while others prefer the system used in Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Currently I used Paintshop Pro to edit photos, create images, and design illustrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
