Is it work well with Photoshop and Light room?

I've used Portrait Professional 10 and 11 with both Lightroom 3,4 and currently 5. Works very well with my workflow when retouching my images. I really don't use it with Photoshop as Lightroom is my base tool from which I start my processing.

It should be able to be used with any program. I have not personally used photoshop or lightroom, so can't say. For photoshop, if that is online (web-based app now, I think), the keystrokes may be messed up if you have specific strokes for your web browser, but not sure how photoshop works. It is a great keyboard supplement but not replacement. I use it synergistically--but it is a great add on.

Yes. It works fine. Even though the resolution is low at 1000 fps it looks good if you use a strong light souRce or work in direct sunlight. If youndo not use that it is very noisy, grainy and disappointing.

I find it works well in photoshop. certainly better than a mouse. It takes a lot of practice to get fine details, but I think it's worth it.

I agree with Wright there. I don't know about flawless as it all also depends on many factors but all the Adobe apps like Photoshop cc 64 bit and acrobat etc., run very well.

Yes its worked great for me. outline drawings are actually the best. color photos n stuff come out blurry usually. but yes for outlines its awesome. I'm happy with the machine. jus make sure ur outline is nice n dark. it comes out perfect every time.

If your photograph is first transferred to transparency it should (in a darkened room-best). I have been pleased with it thus far but have not used photographs.

Yes, Lightroom can do all those things. The cloning isn't as accurate or as advanced as Photoshop's healing brush tool with content aware technology, but it's still very good. Lightroom will also not currently do compositing (combining images together with masks & layers). You can get the both of best worlds with this package: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KNDCCE6/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk (monthly) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O66FYRS/ (Yearly pre-paid) The Creative Cloud Photography plan includes Photoshop CC, Lightroom & Lightroom mobile. Plus you get all the product updates/upgrades (e.g. Photoshop 2014, 2015, 2016, etc & Lightroom 6, LR7, LR8, LR9, etc) for OS compatibility as part of your ongoing membership.

It depends very much on camera, software and LIGHTING. I used it for a school project and filmed with an iPhone. Editing was done on a Mac. With a few exceptions for lighting where it was uneven and it confused the software slightly, I got pretty good results. Try a brightly lit room if you haven't already.

Works for me [though W8 is a little strange from XP], I do a lot of foto editing almost daily. There are many tools that I haven't used [or used much] so glitches may still occur. I would say, if you have your computing power up, go with it.

Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (and previous versions) will run on this computer, however it will run very ineffectively. It will use about 50% of this computers RAM and nearly all of it's processing speed. If you are using advanced tools such as the Healing Brush Tool, Blur Tool, Smear Tool, and anything else that does advanced pixel manipulation, the computer will slow down and the program may crash. I recommend finding a machine with at least 6GB of RAM, and quality performance dual core processor. You might find one for around $350

I'm running PSP Photo X2 under Vista on an HP Slimline with 2 gigs of RAM and I have had no problems. However, I've read about some bad experiences that other people have had running PSP under Vista. I don't know for sure what the problems are, but I'd highly recommend a clean install of the Paint Shop software if at all possible. I'm in the same boat you are with regard to level of expertise (or lack thereof). I do have a lot of photos on my computer and I ran several of my problem photos through PSP Photo X2 and applied the "quick fix" button. The photos were all improved considerably with zero effort and knowledge. I'm pretty sure that with a little practice with the more complicated features I could do more. I have also used PCP Photo X2 do so some web graphics, and the support for layers, JPGs, GIFs, PNGs, and the RGB color model are more than sufficient for my needs (I used Photoshop in college and Print Shop works essentially the same way Photoshop did for the tasks I need it to do). I also tried Photoshop Elements, and the web-centric features of Print Shop Pro seemed far more robust to me than the ones in Elements. In my opinion, nothing even comes close to Print Shop Pro for the price. Finally, if you are interested in doing some detailed research before you buy the software, get Diane Koers's book "Picture Yourself Learning Corel Paint Shop Pro X2" and read it. It will tell you all the things you can do with the software and it's surprisingly inexpensive, especially for a Course Technology book. The best part is that after you read it and decide to buy the software (which I'm betting you will), the book will continue to be useful to you as a reference.

it depends. some are better quality than the others, all depends on the pictures you are lightscribing

PSP is more like Photoshop than Lightroom. It supports layers, which is the big divide. If you are interested in using layers, PSP would make sense unless you decided to do the subscription thing with Adobe. The raw converter from Adobe is better than PSP's raw converter, so you might want to do your initial editing in Lightroom and your more advanced editing, if necessary, in PSP. BTW, PSP supports most (but not all) Photoshop plugins. AIUI, the ones with the .8bf extension will work. I use the Topaz suite and Focus Magic with PSP. FWIW

This works just fine, it just depends what apps you use. I'm running the whole Adobe Suite CS6 just fine while doing multiple things without missing a beat.

Yes, I have The Adobe Photoshop "Lightroom5 book for digital photographers by Scott Kelby... the book breaks the software down and leads you through set up and use...

I am sorry, but I have no clue. It's very much like Light Room. But I will not use Aftershot anymore after my new computer I had to build has Windows 7 Prof. & it will mysteriously not work without locking up on it. Lightroom is far better. I bet Photoshop Essentials will do what you want & so far it's not subscription. Good luck.
