 Go for JASC Version, not Corel November 9, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I am very surprised by most of the reviews here.
I can't tell you how disappointed I have been with PSP X. I have used version 7 for several years with no problems at all, it has been reliable and powerfull enough for my requirements ( I am no artist ), it is the reason that I bought X.
My experience of PSP X is that is is slow, especialy with pathed vectored text, it crashes so often that I have gone back to 7, the interface is cluttered by comparason, less intuitive with more eye-candy styling and less usability.
The version I have may be X1, though it has patched itself with downloads from the Corel site.
Overall .. I will not be using this product again.
 Upgrade from Paint Shop Pro 8 July 2, 2007

Well worth the upgrade ( I bought the full version and not the upgrade - it was cheaper). I avoided Version X1 after reading the comments on its performance but I think this upgrade is well worth going for (especially at 15 - a steal). I particularly like the Smart Fix feature
Excellent Photo Software February 21, 2007

Superb value for money. Certainly for someone who started using this software with no experience I would recommend this. It comes with a basic instruction book and a good range of training tutorials which were an immense help for a first timer.
It does everything I could probably wish for and much much more!
 Excellent software but... January 3, 2007

Why oh why no printed user guide? Previous (full) versions came with an extremely useful manual which described in detail all functions and how to use them.
Now you have choices; you can access the in-program help files and search the rather non-intuitive index where basic explanations are found but no real practical advice is given on how to apply the explanations to the application. (Try searching the index for the new high-pass sharpening filter - an essential item if you are serious about photo processing).
Next option is to read/download a pdf file from the Corel website. This is a 113 page document where you learn on page 1 that it is only designed to get you started on the basics and to accompany the in-program Help, as well as other material available from the Corel website.
There is also the learning centre which is useful but limited.
It seems difficult to find clear and detailed information amongst the hodge-podge of tutorials and help files. Not everybody wants to connect to the internet every time they need help with something and I do believe that help should come included in the form of an easy-to-browse book when PSP is purchased.
I suppose the reason for no longer including a printed user manual is simply one of cost. But it is regretful. The old type manual was comprehensive, detailed and easy to understand. It helped me tremendously when I first started using PSP some years ago and I have always bought full versions of PSP as it has been updated purely in order to get the new manual. Newcomers to this excellent software have been deprived of a very useful learning tool.
Best version for a while October 6, 2006

I've been a long time user of PaintShop Pro and have always liked it's power and simplicity. That said, to get the best out of the application you still had to delve deeper into the app.
I stopped upgrading at PaintShop Pro 8 because it simply wasn't worth upgrading. The upgrade from 7 to 8 was disappointing the move from 8 to 9 simply wasn't worth.
The feature list on PaintShop Pro X looked good and I was tempted to upgrade. I'm glad I did. The new version is a definite improvement over previous versions. More powerful and yet easier to use. I've gone back to older photos I'd already edited and stated again with great results.
