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.

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.

Strengths: Easy layering tools. I do a 7 layer file with no problem.
Weaknesses:Slow load time. Do not use the program as your default image viewer.
Overall Evaluation: I've had very little problems with this photo editing software. I've just starting to paint my own car skins for PC racing games. I own games such as Rfactor and ARCA Sim Racing. I've been able to use this program to create the skins with little trouble and it was very easy. I prefer this program over the open source program GIMP as well. It seems to work well for a beginner or moderate photo editor.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Low price (I paid $45), easy to use
Weaknesses:Doesn't have the features an experienced photographer needs.
Overall Evaluation: I'm attaching a screen shot of Corel's Paint Shop Pro X2. It's a perfect companion to a casual photographer taking pictures of a vacation. It allows basic editing such a noise removal, brightness/constrast, cropping, sharpening, blurring, and more. It also has a one click photo enhancement button for those who want their photos touched up without a learning curve.

Strengths: Stable and full featured
Weaknesses:Memory intensive
Overall Evaluation: I was very unhappy with the performance of PaintShop Pro XI so I decided to take advantage of a very attractive 2-day promotion to get this version. I'm very happy I did: although I don't see a lot of new features, this version doesn't freeze up on me all the time so I'm using more of those fancy features.

Review:
Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2
Powerful image editor is overstuffed and cluttered.
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.
