 Definately not for laptops... November 8, 2008

Paint Shop Pro came to my attention after receiving the latest version of TurboCAD v15 Pro which I use extensively for work purposes, the idea being to import drawings for production into finished presentable artwork. I decided to try the programme out first with Corel's free monthly trial and I'm glad I did - I found the programme to be annoying from the start. The first thing to happen was a long wait on start-up whilst it 'raided' all my photo files and converted them to run in PSP. OK, so perhaps that is to be expected. BUT-
I deal daily with customers who I visit and need to show them information from my laptop, including photos of equipment. Having waited for the computer to load up initially, on selection of a photo I them had to wait further for the PSP to load before showing the selected photo. Previously of course the photo would open in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and would appear very quickly which is ideal, to wait for PSP to initialise to show the photo is not. AND-
The screen kept flickering, stepping to one side a couple of millimetres then freezing for a second or two before moving back. Once or twice you can put up with but this was happening every 5-10 minutes. I don't know whether this is because it was a trial copy or because it is on a laptop but it is not acceptable for it to happen. FINALLY-
Once the trial was over I was unable to open any photo files until I had completely removed PSP from my system. I would expect that once the trial was over the programme would automatically deactivate, but maybe I'm expecting too much.
In short, if you want instant access to your photos or you own a laptop then avoid this programme!
 Start up problems October 24, 2008
First make sure your PC has a DVD reader otherwise you cannot load it.
Secondly it is not compatible with Norton 360.I could not start Paintshop. Corel tell me it is a known problem and Norton are aware.
Norton denied this and after many attempts to solve the problem they deleted Norton 360 and installed Norton 2009 and the problem was solved
 Excellent for A Level Photography September 10, 2008

Calling all photography students. I have had this software no less than a month and it is a dream.
I am currently doing an A Level photography course at my local college which requires software like this to enhance and modify your work to create stunning pieces to show in the end of year exhibit.
It is so easy to use compared to previous versions and runs flawlessly on my computer. If you want something that is reasonably priced, easy to use and creates amazing pictures this is the software for you.
 Stick with Version 9 if you can get it September 3, 2008

This version offers little more than version 9 and is far more memory intensive. I Bought this directly from Corel and have been unable to even activate it as it just hangs. The help is hopeless and I have removed this from my PC and am looking to get a refund.
As I say in the header get Paint Shop Pro 9 which was one of the later ones before Corel ruined it
Does not support Canon 450D September 1, 2008

I've been using PSP since version 4. I have had no problems until now, though. Why, Why, Oh Why doesn't Corel's X2 support the Canon 450D's raw files? I only want to use one photo processor, and that has always been PSP. But its let me down. Corel have taken their eye off the ball, tinkering around with X2, making it little better than PSP11, whilst ignoring Canon users. They have ignored the thousands of 450D purchasers and I for one feel betrayed. How long do they need to come up with a patch for X2 to convert Canon's raw files? The 450D has been around in the UK since May and still there is now fix. I for one am fed-up, and I'm ready to swop to an alternative product. I give Corel 48 hours to get a fix on their web site or I'm off. And I recommend that no Canon user/prospective purchaser should bother with Corel PSP X2; it's a waste of money and a waste of space.
If Corel can't keep up, then Canon users should be warned off PSP X2. Corel cannot be trusted to bring their product upto date with any new Canon product.
