I've used this product since version 8, before Corel bought it. I have always had great success with it. I'm trying to get deeper into the product and learn more of what it can do. I've used it to touch up lots of scans of old photos to remove spots, tears and blemishes. Works for me.

This is a reasonably capable photo editor. In this price range I think GIMP is the best option. Where it excels is add ons. You can apply canned effects. For actual photo editing it's just so so. The RAW editing capability is almost nonexistent. You can buy an fancier version of the RAW processor for cheap but you'll do better with RawTherapee for free. Basic dark/light and color manipulation are OK if not outstanding. You'll be able to improve the quality of pictures but there are other more capable choices. In packaged software in this tier the 2 best choices are Affinity Photo and Photoshop Elements. You can't go too wrong with the open source duo of GIMP and RawTherapee if you don't mind something on the geeky side.

I didn't want to pay the monthly photoshop fee so I bought this instead. It is a good editing program just wish there were more free tutorials for it. I could spend more money for tutorials from PaintShop but don't want to spend another $200 on that. Might have been cheaper to pay the $10 a month, there are ton of free tutorials on photoshop. I use them and tweak them for PaintShop

I've used Corel Photo Paint for over a decade and have always liked it. It has all the power of the best photo programs, but comes at a great price. Plus it's not requiring a yearly cloud subscription, yea!

I had an older version of photoshop. I got the subscription but didn't like the newer version and it froze up constantly so I didn't update. I had v7 of paint shop but the interface was hard. This seems a lot like photoshop. More intuitive. Add ons that come with it work great.
