What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

Paint Shop Pro offers many different options for graphics and photographs. It’s been around for years and it has evolved greatly. I have used this product for 20 years. It has come a long way. I enjoy seeing the evolution of the product. I think it has many benefits beyond just being able to touch up a photograph. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

I think there are not many downsides to Paint ShopPro. Sometimes it takes awhile to load, but it is a bigger program. I think it depends on how slow your computer is also. I’ve found it operates very well on a desktop, as opposed to a laptop. I think overall, this program does not have many downsides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I’m using Paint Shop Pro for graphic design and websites. This program is excellent for building options to market my business. I enjoy the tools and filters it comes with. It seems to offer a myriad of options it did not offer years ago. I’m able to market my small business using this product. I can create flyers, high resolution graphics, logos and more to put on my website or Facebook page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Relatively easy to use software with shortcuts to make quick edits and improvements to photos. A tab for managing your photos helps you organize and open photos simultaneously. The desktop allows for various levels of customization to make it easier to work. A low annual price, with no monthly fees. Lots of helpful videos about how to use th e product is available online and the help built into the program is extensive. Each time you use a tool, a helpful hints box appears. Customer Service is also very responsive if you do have a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

The software is slow to open on older computers or with computers with not enough RAM. I would also like to see more updates to the software to remove bugs and open RAW files from newer cameras. The software also freezes on occasion, but overall it runs smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

The company, Corel, offers a 30 day trial period where you can download the product, with all of its features, for free. It's a good way to see if you want to purchase the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The software offers a pretty fast workflow to improve and resize photos (for publication). The price is inexpensive, and it has many of the same features as the more expensive monthly subscription software. Paying monthly fees each month is expensive, and you never really own the product if you stop making payments. With this product, once you buy it you own it.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

Very professional and well-known graphics editor, it has many tools from basic to the most advanced, this program from which we choose a tool gives us a view with a detailed description of its use, this program allows us to do professional-level design work, everything from an intuitive interface, where in the latest versions it is also focused on touch screens, from its graphic interface it offers text tools, scale shading, effects as well as color tools such as saturation or blurring, the program also allows us to do different imports to accommodate the edition and exports where we can give a graphic different file finishes, which we can edit the quality and weight of the same, it also offers us some tools with preset options as is the case for photo editions where it already offers several pre-configured effects of which only the egir one, it also has rendering and color removal tools for image modifications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

I would like you to put the options to add more plugins and addons to the program, because even if they are paid, this could make everything easier for us when we do professional work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

For this program there are many online tutorials to focus for each special use that we are going to occupy, so the use is greatly simplified for those who are interested in learning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When we work with this program, many things are provided to us since it offers us to have all the design tools at our fingertips, very useful from when we edit simple images to graphics, we commonly add watermarks or graphic design on images or vectors, we can import several images to make a collage or modify a single one among the pre-established options for editing photos, many times when exporting we try to transform the png into jpg and reduce the quality so that the images are lighter for websites Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

Without a doubt, what fascinated me most is that the tool is super intuitive, as a designer I can make the most of the options that the tool has in each space, however, I could also recommend it to colleagues who are not necessarily designers, because it becomes as simple as "click" and choosing the workspace according to your needs, achieving visually more attractive designs and in less time. In addition to that being a lighter program it renders images in less time than photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

Using the workspace “Complete”, when waiting to have a preview of the possible effects it becomes a bit impractical to have to search between sub-folders , or to have to choose one by one among the classifications of the effects panel or to check if it is the one you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

Conforming to the same old programs is no longer enough, now there is the possibility to choose from a huge range, and I consider this an excellent option when making light and pretty edits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main thing is that it manages to optimize the time I dedicate to my work, I can generate quality and impact as if it were the entire Adobe range, but combining the benefits of each program in a single tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

To start off, Paintshop Pro is a tool which provides a free trial which in my book is always a positive besides that the tool has a great number of tools that can be used to manipulate/edit photos. these tools are fairly optimized and the program runs well on medium-end computers/laptops. I also really enjoy its UI and how the tools perform and their functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

I dislike that I cant run Paintshop Pro on a low-end computer since the program requires a lot of processing power. I also dislike the lack of some tools that I deem necessary. This can be solved by adding some open-source plugins that its community has developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

Paintshop Pro is an amazing tool for photo manipulation. This tool is comparable to photoshop but they are clearly different. I would recommend this tool for more expert users and people able to do more complicated work. It is also a great learning tool if you are starting due to how easy it is to find tutorials and courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have developed Promotional material, Branding material, and banners for internal use inside my company. These have brought a lot more recognition to it and have escalated or reputation a significant amount. Bringing us (for 0€) a lot of investment return, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
