Software Reviews of Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 Ultimate
Customer Review: Well done
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used many other programs for editing and printing photos, this by far has been the best and easiest to use. It has a quick mode for rapid review, selection, minor editing and adjustment, and quick printing of photos that is better than most other expensive programs. I plan on deleting everything else.Customer Review: Perfect for my needs but keep an eye out for the new version Feb 2010!
Summary: 5 Stars
In college I learned Adobe Photoshop, but I found it frustrating and hard to use even though I'm usually pretty computer savvy. Now at 29, I wanted something with similar capabilities that was easier to learn and use(and a budget friendly price!), and this fits the bill exactly, since I got it on an Amazon Gold Box Deal.
Be forewarned though, a new version is being released 2/24/10!! The x3 version, which also looks awesome, but was a bit out of my budget.
For me Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo x2 Ultimate has a very logical, common sense approach. I easily figured out the basics without looking at the manual. For years I've really enjoyed doing photo restoration from my family's extensive collection(going back to the early 1900's). Then I recently got a Nikon D5000 SLR, and wanted a better program to manipulate my photos. I was able to do all these things and more with Paint Shop Pro. Great "smart fix photo" step, to see how the program chooses to change your photo. Then you can adjust from there to your liking. Otherwise, do everything by hand to fit your wishes. Great hue/saturation, brightness and contrast, flash fill, and noise reduction.
I also took out some Corel Paint Shop books at the library. Both were great in giving step by step instructions for common photo problems(low light, distracting objects, etc). One of those books recommended using this program with the a Wacom Pen Tablet. A-mazing. With this pairing, I feel I can do wondrous things to my images. I chose the pen and touch model, and it turned this program into pure heaven. I have great control over scratch retouching, etc. I don't know why I waited this long to get this, but I'm so glad I did. Awesome program for the photography buff on a budget.
Customer Review: Great deal!!

Much easier to use and much cheaper than Adobe PhotoShop. Can find almost all the same features as PhotoShop and have the money left over for more stuff!!
Enjoy!!!!
Customer Review: I love this better than photo shop

I love my Paint Shop Pro, I have been using it since Dec.25,2009. I have a great laptop but the photoshop really crawled along. This program is easy to use, has great features: thinify, suntan, skin smoothing, frames and auto adjust. I am so glad I read reviews on Amazon before buying, it was a great investment!Customer Review: Bugs, Patches and Poor Service

I just bought this and downloaded the program. It is advertised with several other plug-ins, etc.
One of them is Photo Painter Essentials, and the is Media One Plus
They DO NOT WORK on Windows 7. To be fair - if you dig hard enough on the Corel website - it does tell you that they are NOT supported.
Wait until they upgrade to a real windows 7 version - before buying this - or at least justify your purchase based on the core product - it does seem to work
