Software Reviews of Paint Shop Pro Photo X2
Customer Review: Paint Shop Pro Photo
Summary: 1 Stars
Does a lot of things but is not user friendly. Help doesn't actually help much and you are left to trial and error as to how to use the functions ie; change background.
it is probably a very good program and after I finally learn to use it ( a couple of years) I will let you know.
Customer Review: Have gone back to PSPX
Summary: 1 Stars
I've used PSP since the good old days of Jasc (V4) and upgraded with each new release to PSPX - missed X1 and decided to go to X2 mainly because it offered RAW support and HDR. I was disappointed that RAW support isn't available for my camera - not a rarity an Olympus DSLR, and the HDR conversion is very poor. That would have been OK if everything else had worked but it's disgraceful that Corel can sell a product as bad as this. It is so-o-o-o slow. The help files were an illegible mess on-screen, sometimes my plug-ins were available - sometimes they weren't. The new crop tool is a JOKE, there's no ability to move/copy files within the program, deleting a file took forever, rotating multiple files resulted in the program crashing, the screen would go blank for no reason, the program froze so often I thought it had hyperthermia, meaning losing work and having to restart ... I could go on. And as for 'help' - I have another four-letter word that applies to Corel customer 'support' and it doesn't start with 'h'.
If you're thinking of 'upgrading', don't bother. It may look pretty, but it's an ugly beast - stick with PSPX and avoid the risk of a nervous breakdown
Customer Review: Stick with Paintshop pro 9 if you can get it
Summary: 1 Stars
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 Corel Paint Shop Pro 9 [OLD VERSION] which was one of the later ones before Corel ruined it
Customer Review: Corel service is terrible
Summary: 4 Stars
I used to have Jack Paint Shop Pro 9 which I upgrated to Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2.
I like the software, but it leaves dregs all over my screen. I have searched their database for help on this matter and they mentioned a graphic card that need driver updates, but it was not mine and my driver is current (I tried an update). Although I can use PSPPX2 on my machine, it is not pretty because it messes up its outer border and surrounding windows.
There is _NO_ way to get in touch with Corel. I have an account and tried email, but for some reason my account does not work. I tried creating other accounts, but they don't work either. Their web site gives no phone numbers for contact and you cannot email Corel unless you have an account which I cannot enter or create.
Based on this experience, I would very much recommend not doing business with this company unless you are absolutely sure their products work on your machine and you will not need support (I am not addressing their pay-for support which is an unknown entity, but their free email support).
Customer Review: Overall a wonderful product
Summary: 4 Stars
This software has great effect filters that make for wonderful results, however my wife wanted software with red-eye reduction filters. Although this does have red-eye filtration, it is not automatic, it is very tedious to use, and gives questionable results.
