Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 Review

by Alan Stafford

- Corel's Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 image editor, with its darker interface, looks better than previous versions did, but the new shade is the only visual tweak. What the interface needs is a complete overhaul--it's so jam-packed with overlapping options that it's hard to wade through.

User Reviews for Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2

Reviewed by: *petunia*

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: HDR Photo Merge is awesome, makeover tools are easy to useand Selective Color Replacement is amazing. Compatible with many Photoshop plug-ins and filters.

Weaknesses: None found so far.

Overall Evaluation: I love the different effects--especially the frames. There are also several tools that allow you to improve the quality of your images. It took me a little time to get used to the software because I have been a Photoshop CS3 user for over a year; but the techniques are very similar. PSP X2 is an affordable, full-featured image editor that is very easy to use overall. Also costs MUCH less than PS CS2 or 3.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: A very complete product, loads fast

Weaknesses: None that I have seen yet. I am still old fashioned and like a preprinted manual, or even a quick start version.

Overall Evaluation: From my initial look at the program it appears to be full featured and probably will do a lot more than I will ever use. However, it is an excellent program and will enable me to enhance and work with my photos. I especially like the ability to "clean" up the background. I have used other products and have been partially satisfied with them.
