Summary: Corel service is terrible
Comment: I used to have Jack Paint Shop Pro 9 which I upgrated to Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2.
I like the software, but it leaves dregs all over my screen. I have searched their database for help on this matter and they mentioned a graphic card that need driver updates, but it was not mine and my driver is current (I tried an update). Although I can use PSPPX2 on my machine, it is not pretty because it messes up its outer border and surrounding windows.
There is _NO_ way to get in touch with Corel. I have an account and tried email, but for some reason my account does not work. I tried creating other accounts, but they don't work either. Their web site gives no phone numbers for contact and you cannot email Corel unless you have an account which I cannot enter or create.
Based on this experience, I would very much recommend not doing business with this company unless you are absolutely sure their products work on your machine and you will not need support (I am not addressing their pay-for support which is an unknown entity, but their free email support).

Summary: Overall a wonderful product
Comment: This software has great effect filters that make for wonderful results, however my wife wanted software with red-eye reduction filters. Although this does have red-eye filtration, it is not automatic, it is very tedious to use, and gives questionable results.

Summary: PSP XII
Comment: I have all the PSP/Corel Porgrams... I sure do like this one and got it for about half the price that Corel is offering it.

Summary: Great program at an even greater price!
Comment: I'd been thinking of purchasing that "really expensive photo program" (Adobe PhotoShop) so that I could work with my photos in RAW format.
I've been using PaintShop Pro products for many years, and hated the idea of learning a whole new photo program. Paint Shop has always been quite user friendly without the need to spend hours and hours learning how to work with my photos.
I googled "RAW format + Paint Shop Pro" a few months ago and found this product. I'm more than happy with it and I'm glad that I don't have to spend tons of time and money learning a new system of working my photos.
I went to a photo shoot this past weekend and was able to download over 2,500 RAW format digital photos in no time!
Don't let the low price fool you - this program has a lot of capabilities. It's well worth it to try for those who especially don't have the time to take a class on how to work with PhotoShop or try to decipher the instructions in a book!

Summary: A Great New Version of PSP
Comment: I'm an old time PSP user, going back to the first version and I always reluctantly upgrade this program, because working with a familiar version of PSP is like wearing a comfortable pair of old shoes. And I was perfectly happy with PSP9. But after I downloaded PSPX2 to experiment with the new features, I was instantly hooked. I love the new photo and makeover features. It took me a few days to get used to the difference between version 7 and 9, but going from version 9 to this version was easy and comfortable as they left the integrity of the earlier version intact without moving too much around.
I see that someone said in another review that this is a bloated version. That's incorrect. This is a greatly improved version with a lot of features that are useful to photo editing and other types of graphical work. I know that I will use these features every day in my work. And I believe that previous and new users of PSP will love this program. I can't recommend it highly enough.
