Is this the latest upgrade from Corel Photopaint 9? Just curious if this is the latest upgrade to my current one or if this is better than what I am using?

And to amplify the previous response a little, Paint Shop Pro (PSP) was for many years a shareware program, actually the best image editing shareware program available. PSP was purchased by Corel in 2004. PSP is a competitor to Photo Shop Elements, in the same way that Photo Paint is a competitor to Photo Shop. The difference is that Elements is an extract from Photoshop whereas PSP is a completely separate product from Photopaint.

I know the lay out a little bit already after learning some of the Photoshop Elements layout. I haven't found it too complicated and here is the reason. I watched about 20 hrs. of Tutorials on You Tube and adobe TV. Anthony Morganti, Tim Grey, Robert Rodriquez Jr. (make sure it's Jr.) and others I can't remember the name of right this minute. There is a lady on Adobe TV (free too) that goes through the whole program, one thing at a time. B & H puts free tutorials on You Tube to promote sales. I just sat and watched them "develop" their pictures and enjoyed it. After awhile I became familiar with the program tools for developing and can do quite a bit with it just from watching other people work. It's a great program. Photoshop will do a lot of stuff that Lightroom won't do and Lightroom does a really good job bringing out the best in your photo's. I would say you probably are going to need both programs eventually. If you shop around you can find Lightroom for around a hundred and Elements for a little less. Both compliment each other nicely. Lightroom was the most important for me and it's not a pixel editor so it is non-destructive to the images. Photoshop Elements will allow you to play with the photo's, copy and past thing form one picture into another, edit badly damaged photo's and a whole lot of stuff. Lightroom allows color manipulation, sharpening, all kinds of enhancements to you pictures. I think it was pretty easy to learn the way I did it. Just watching videos until I understood the basics, then playing with it, then going back and watching specific tutorials on certain things when I need to.

Not familiar with Jacs PSP7. I picked up what I liked to work with pretty quickly after switching from Corel Paintshop Pro x2. Found a lot of neat interface changes as I got used to it. Very flexible program. Although I haven't worked with the areas you mentioned, I know they are supported in the program. I love all the special effects and play with them using my photos in designing for fabric. Hope this helps a little.

It did not come with paintshop or trend micro. It came with a trial version of Norton. I assume most versions of this computer come with "trial" versions of such software and I'd rather not have my PC bogged down with software, trial or not, that I don't want. But the computer itself is solid, fast, and a great buy. I'm very happy with it. I hated windows 8 at first but now that I'm use to it, it's amazing, and I enjoy although the PC isn't a touch screen. I hope this helps, but before you buy a PC with those programs you want to make sure they are not trial versions because you can download them yourself. It did not come with paintshop or trend micro.

There is a world of difference and improvement between LR2 and LR4. That said, Lightroom 5 is now in Beta testing and will be released sometime in the next very few months. I would wait for that. LR5 will contain some actions that currently have to be accomplished by going out of LR into either Photoshop, Elements, or some other program. For the price, Lightroom is so far superior to anything else I can think of that I'd certainly upgrade. Besides, you'll get a price break since you already own LR2.

According to tech support, the education edition always puts a watermark on the graphics you create, because Corel doesn't want you to be able to make any money on your student drawings. If you use want to use to sell your graphics, you have to buy the full version. Again, this is what tech support said when I called them.

Yep, it woks great for me in Windows 8. It actually works better than in Win 7 because it doesn't flicker when starting up, since it wasn't Windows Aero compatible. PSP9 is still a great photo enhancer, I still use it today. I wish Jasc was still creating it.

I'm not real sure but when I upgraded to a 64 bit computer I had to buy a new Photoshop because my original was a 32. Check out the other answers and also where you bought your program

Well, I upgraded to PSE 6.0 from PSE 5.0 a few months ago, really without thinking about it. I just wanted the latest software. Unfortunately, I have had quite a few problems relating to the uploading of RAW files, i.e., the program doesn't seem to be able to handle them. After I've uploaded them from the built-in card reader in my PC (running Windows XP), the thumbnails in the Organizer appear as "broken links" and usually the program crashes shortly thereafter. I've seen complaints about this on various forums but Adobe seems apparently unable or unwilling to do anything about it at this point. It does seem to be limited to this one feature (i.e., uploading .CR2 files) but that is a drag because that is the format I usually shoot in. Otherwise, it's a terrific program. It certainly has lots of great features. But I'm spending too much time trying to keep it running. I should have stuck with PSE 5.0 until Adobe came out with some fixes for this.

Hi Phil (again) just wanted to tell you that there IS a setting to change on the printer list to change the paper type CANVAS. Although I have never done that so I am not sure what the quality would be. I will say that the quality of all the photos I do on glossy photo paper are outstanding. Hope this helps. I have also NEVER had one negative issue with this printer like some of the other people below have said. I have owned it for over 3 years, and I love love it.

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.

I've used Picasa with this machine and it works very fast. It easily applies the included fixes (contrast, hue/color saturation, etc. ) with no lag. Picasa is a lot less resource intensive then photoshop though. I take pictures with a 7.1 megapixel camera - the average photo is about 3.5megs.The mousepad takes getting used to when you want drag and drop things but you get used to it.

I have a HP Laptop with quad core AMD Radeon graphics and Windows 7 (reading off of the laptop) and it works great with Corel PaintShop Pro 6. It doesn't work with the old Microsoft program called, "Paint".

Hey guys, so alexander miller was actually right. You can upgrade to version 10 for free you just need to follow the instructions alex gave above. I hastily returned it though without realizing. Yes, this is a good deal but I ended up getting just the mbox 3 without the full version of pro tools since I've yet to even open pro tools lol. (Still doing everything in ableton live)

Thanks for your review and great job on the research. I need your opinion on something. Although, the current price of the XT and and XTi is less than $200.00. difference, the List price is the XTI is twice as much as the XI. I kind of agree that the XTi isn't really much of an upgrade over the XTi and some of the superior features of the XIT I'm not really to concern about except the 8MP and 10MP. I'm not a proffesional or anything like nor I plan to do large prints, but should I pay those extra bucks just for 10MP? Please help anyone.

I can't find any difference at all besides on the top banner after Coreldraw X6 it says "Not for Commercial Use" ... otherwise it is exactly the same for all intensive purposes.

It is compatible and does work with previous versions of printshop. The problem I found with it so far is that it does not allow you to make tables and does not permit you to acquire scanned photos directly. Both were part of previous versions. I find transition from earlier Printshops is much more complicated. The format has changed and has more moving parts which is time consuming. I kept version 23 on my other computer which is much easier to use. I am trying to return 3.5 but have had no response after filling out return form. Bottom line I am not happy with 3.5.
