    Easier than my previous version of PSP

    It was a bit more intuitive to use than my previous version's from PSP 7-PSP 11 ! I was looking for a way to Colorize my photo like a Painting, and this is what I came up with from my August, 2018 visit to Battleship Park in Mobile, Alabama. I really like the intuitive interface better this time, and it always leaves me more room for my imagination to soar!

    This is a complete photo management application. It even has a plug-in for you to upload your photos to SmugMug which is a web hosting service. The tutorials located on the Corel website are numerous.

    A big change

    Prior to purchasing this at an unbeatable price from Best Buy, I was a PS Pro 8 user, which dates back to when JASC Software still had it. I didn't really have a great reason to upgrade, but knew I would be getting a lot of extra functionality (that I might someday use) for a very low price. Well, the additional functionality is there in this suite, but I do miss the speed and simplicity of v8. The new version takes longer to load, and of course after all these years the interface has changed quite a bit. I'm adjusting, and generally have a favorable impression, but it's certainly not perfect.

    What I really like about Paintshop Pro 2019 is the ability to own it rather than renting it. I've had an older version of paintshop pro that I've been using for about 8 yrs, but that now I can't use since it's no longer compatible with the latest version of windows. Paintshop pro 2019 does way more than my older version. I don't like the renting part of Adobe photoshop, which is why I like paintshop pro way more. It's probably a great program too, but I dont have any experience with it. One of the main reasons I bought paintshop pro was to fix my kids flyaway hairs in pictures, I edit them to my liking. It's an easy program to figure out. If I dont know how to do something there are many YouTube tutorials available which I find helpful.

    A lot of bonus features and additional photoshop programs came with this purchase. Still learning the program. Not as diverse as Adobe Photoshop, but a great learners kit.

    I had this program on my home PC many years for managing, editing, printing, etc. of family photos. When I replaced the PC, I decided to get the current version to gain functionality. The new program is very similar to the old version in look and function, but with additional details added. I find this easy to use once you get about 3 hours experience with it. It has tons of options for editing and printing. More than I need for my purpose. When on sale, it is a great deal.

    Corel continues the struggle to pull even with Photoshop and Lightroom. They've released a good product that comes with a fair amount of usable features. Their price point makes it an excellent deal overall. But realistically it's not on the level with these two Adobe mainstays.

    I compared it to the old Picasa 3 that Goggle use to have. PS Ult Pro is just as easy and does more. I can read the EXIF info and easy editing. I did get this also on BB's Deal of the Day too, which was great price. Glad I got it.

    The only thing that I don't like about this software package, is that you can't make the autocorrections in a batch like you can in Lightroom. Otherwise, this is a great piece of software.

    Does a great job for the price. Much easier to use than the full Photoshop, although the full Photoshop, which I have used for years, is still my go-to software. But Paintshop Pro includes Perfectly Clear, which is a very nice plus.

    Works well, there are a lot of things it can do, I HATE the advertisements to buy new things after paying for an "Ultimate" edition. Not as easy to use, for me, as the old MS program but that has been out of date for a lot of years.

    After buying and installing, i figured out how to load an old Microsoft program on windows 10 so never used this program. Am giving it three stars based on the pop up ad that comes up way too frequently. I don't like that. As a deal of the day, the price was worth the gamble that I would like it. Maybe someday I'll try it.

    I have been using Paint Shop Pro for several years in conjunction with Adobe Elements. I use PSP primarily for their border effects and making photos look cleaner. I use Elements for layering, title effects and shadowing.

    I've never had a non-free trial Photoshop like application before and can't wait to spend more time the summer learning how to use it. Over the last 2-3 years we had a few funerals, my daughter got married and they had a baby and my wife and I want to work with those photos to create memories for the future generation.

    I bought this product based on reviews and that it was easy to use. However, I have used this product maybe a dozen times. It does have a great price and does offer a lot of possibilities for those who know the Corel product or have time to figure it out.
