Software Reviews of Paint Shop Pro Photo X2
Customer Review: Lots of options
Summary: 4 Stars
Having used the old Jasc PSP, I thought I'd give this new version a go. I haven't been able to anything in depth with it yet, but I've noticed it loads fast and has clean lines/easy menus. They tried to make it more "user friendly," presumably because of all the new bells and whistles and how many there are to choose from.
I would say this is not for the beginner. Too much to choose from, but it looks to have promise. No software issues as of yet.
Customer Review: Lots of features
Summary: 4 Stars
This product has many great features. Digitial photography is my hobby and I love to do many things to my pictures and this program lets me do that!Customer Review: Paint Shop Pro Photo 2x
Summary: 1 Stars
Very disappointed in this software. When I open the software and use it, then close it down I have to reboot my computer to get it to come back up. This is a hassle. I have and use Paint shop pro x and it works great. Would not recommmend this as an upgrade.Customer Review: Step aside PhotoShop
Summary: 5 Stars
I have already used six versions of this program and always described it as the "Poor Man's PhotoShop." I conclude that even the rich man needs the useability of this fine program. All my photos eventually get run through PaintShop Pro.Customer Review: happy with performance and features
Summary: 5 Stars
I used photo editing software before, mainly free ware like "gimp" or software that comes with your digital camera. I'm not a power user, I still have to learn how to work with "layers" but so far I've found the basic options, layout and editing tools to be easy to use.
I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium Service pack 1. Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz with 3.00 GB of Ram, video chip accelerator and 90 GB free space. For other users running vista; my pc has a rating of 3.4
I read other reviewers said the system does run a bit slow during certain operations, the only time I noticed the software to run a bit slow (average 2 seconds) seconds is when I'm making overall changes, changes such as changing the color of the picture to black and white. (also keep in mind, I'm working with 2816 x 2112 or 2+ mega bite size pictures)
The best things about this product are (price and features) I only paid $34.00 with free shipping. I check a local store ad they are selling this software for $90.00.
I never had adobe photo shop, or adobe elements so I cant make a comparison, but I've read people to have problems with elements 6 and for my personal use photo shop is way to costly to consider.
The one thing I could improve is the instructions, the tutorial "learning center" is good, but I wish it had a "show me" button, but I don't know if this is a common feature either.
Everything considered, I give this a 5 star rating, for value and features, features, features. It will take some time to understand how how everything works, but right out of the box I was able to work with the software and fix a few pictures.
