Is Studio 64 v11 less than, equal to, or superior than the Max version of Portrait Professional?

It is an earlier version of the program. V12 is the new one. The Max version comes with more automated features like auto sex determination and the ability to edit more pictures with standard settings at one time. I have V11 Studio and it works great, but when I upgrade will get the V12 Max it looks like from what I have read.

If you qualify, get the Education Edition. It has all features of the standard edition. The Home and Student Edition has *almost* complete versions of CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT but some features are missing. The Home and Student Suite does not include many OpenType features or color management options. The Home and Student Suite does not include VBA / VSTA or Macros. The Home and Student Suite does not include PrePress, PreFlight, several of the file formats in the other versions. Note that if you are already a Paintshop Pro user, PSP cannot read the .CPT files generated by PhotoPaint and vice versa. Corel has about the best file format translators in the industry. This file format shortcoming is the only one I've found in the entire Corel lineup and it is disappointing.

You are better off using live view. Why? At f/1.4 the depth of field is razor thin for portraits.

Without a doubt, unequivocally, YES!I had photographer friends who thought I was insane for buying the new version (they had only seen the old), and after they saw mine and what it was putting out, I know a few of them who are seriously considering buying one.

I haven't used Manga Studio, but it has no problems with Photoshop. However, I don't use it in an intensive way, so my usage may not be typical. So far my only complaint is that Windows 8 is terrible and I strongly dislike the charms menu that keeps popping up when I don't want it to. The keyboard is also somewhat clunky but passable, I'm sure I'll get used to it in time. Other than that, awesome laptop.

Hello, I had a demo version for Photoshop and I had no problem with it so I think you're good:)

Oh yes. You will notice the difference in a heartbeat. Forget photographic work... Even outlook and other desktop applications are washed out

To Pat and J.Crosby, In my opinion, do youself a favour and don't go anywhere near Photoshop Elements 6 (PSE6). I paid for an upgrade from an earlier version and have wasted my money. The program crashes continually to such an extent it is unusable. From my googling on the internet this is the experience of numerous other people. There are no solutions I can find on the Adobe site and although these complaints seem to have been posted since PSE6 was first brought out there are no upgrades or patches to fix what are a myriad of problems. A number of people have complained that the program worked initially and then started continually crashing and that has been my experience. I won't be buying more Adobe products until they show a bit of customer care and isuue fixes for this mess. I have downloaded and installed a trial version of Pro Photo X2 and so far it seems stable. PSE6 may have more bells and whistles but that is not much use if they are unusable due to continual program crashes.

I am not sure, but I have studio 15 and 17 on the same computer.You should know that from version 16 it is no longer studio program, instead they are selling something else, Some of the menus do not work anymore, and their support do not even know why, or how to fix it. Terrible

I have versions 16 and 17 installed on same pc with no problems. This link might help from Pinnacle's website. http://corel.force.com/pinnacle/articles/en_US/Master_Article/If-I-purchase-Pinnacle-Studio-16-should-I-uninstall-my-previous-Studio-version?&page=1&topicCategory=INS&keyWords=compatable%20with%20previous%20versions&sb=new&source=kba

Can't remember. It didn't do what I wanted so I returned to for Project Pro. Double check the features you want, standard vs pro.

Sadly, no.It was my go-to photo editor up to this point but not no more. I'd say I hope this helps, but I have to assume it disappoints. For what it's worth, I have found PhotoScape to be an alternative satisfactory enough to keep me going.

Depends on what you need. 45mb/s works well for just portraits. And even fine for speed as long as you shoot in jpeg. But I was shooting fast in RAW on full frame and 45 was not doing it for me. But if it says 45 then it is. But if you have no problems no need to upgrade

If you are spending $439 USD for it, then it should be the Pro version, not academic. This looks like the full version to me. I say go for it!

Yes, the extra 4MP are not an advantage (except maybe at ISO80), but the larger CCD is. In theory, that means if you use the 8MP setting on the G9, you'll have a little less noise. You summed up the other pros and cons well, though - pretty much what I was processing when I chose b/w the 2. Finally, I decided to go with RAW, though. At least the QA problems didn't affect me except for 1 mildly hot blue pixel on the LCD.

Since I really dislike the printshop 3.0 I haven't really looked into buying another version. The old version I had (I think it was 6.0 but back in the 90's and it was GREAT but not compatible with my newer computer). 3.0 is a big waste of money as you can see from the reviews.

NO, do NOT get a MAC. Overpriced and WAY over-hyped. I can edit 60p with ZERO chop on one of my meager core-duo laptops at 1.8ghz, with effects and PIP's, etc. no problem. You probably are not optimally configured both in hardware and software. What kind of hard drive do you have? This is a very likely culprit. I typically only edit on RAID0 configs because of their awesome speed, and this is where the bottle-neck is really. Also, get some real editing software. I've been using Edius for 10+ years now, and it is simply THE BEST NLE software I have ever used bar none (Vegas, Avid, Premiere Pro through CS4, and yes (sigh) Final Crap Pro). It is incredibly fast, stable, and supports mixed formats and more on a single timeline. Best wishes in any case.
