Graphics Software

We use Corel PaintShop Pro to not only correct pictures we use in our business but also to manipulate those pictures for various uses. The tools that PaintShop Pro has have developed significantly since it was an independent product many years ago. The addition of the new AI tools while they take some getting used to are fantastic. Love the product, love the tools it offers, it is our go-to for editing photos for all uses in our company.

AI photo correction is an excellent new addition
The before an after side by side feature we use everyday
The undo feature is one I particularly like

I would like to see better smart cropping, we have the need for use in our carrying and travel cases for foam cut-outs. This requires a picture to be taken of the product and then outlined. The latest Apple update does a much better job of it than Corel. A definite need in our business

Our website is better because of Corel PaintShop Pro
Our brochures for tradeshows are much better due to PaintShop Pro

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, Microsoft Powerpoint

Product Photo Retouching
Website design
Product Photo importation

Scalability
Integration with Other Systems
Ease of Use

We only looked at one other option and it was Adobe, and there were questions about ownership rights of pictures etc., so we did not move in that direciton

We did not encounter any major issues minor implementation issues with a user who was used to Adobe. BUT IT WAS MINOR

AI removal tools need to be enhanced need it to be more automated for areas that are complex retouches

President and CEO

My business currently does a good bit of work for a local funeral home - which includes making memorial videos. Many times, photos come in from families basically in a shoebox. I'll scan the stack... then use Corel PaintShop Pro to crop, straighten, cleanup, retouch, etc. I find myself using a variety of tools in there. They're quite straightforward, and also quite extensive. It's nice that I can do everything that I need to right there in one app.

Crop
Straighten
Scratch repair
General retouch

It would be nice to see some additional keyboard shortcuts added - and one that comes to mind is Ctrl+W to close an open image.

Editing speed - I can really get thru alot of photos in pretty short order
Ability to retouch/restore photos - people seem quite pleased with damaged photos that I've cleaned up with Corel PaintShop Pro
Batch processing is terrific - time saving, and helps IMMENSELY with file format conversion, which can be an issue when I'm receiving digital content from others

Corel VideoStudio Pro, SplashID, Visual FoxPro (Discontinued), QuickBooks Desktop Pro, TeamViewer

Processing photos for memorial videos
Processing graphics to be included in our products
General photo manipulation

Nothing that we're not already doing - simple, effective photo processing

I don't think I would change my evaluation and selection process. PSP hit the mark right out of the gate. It did what I needed it to do, it was very intuitive and easy to use, and it came in at a great price point. It continues to do all of these things.

No issues - just use it on a reasonably powered machine and it works great.

The program was very easy to learn without training. All that it really required was a ballpark knowledge of what we needed to do in the first place... just general photo processing. Start (typically) with a scan. Crop it... rotate it... maybe even clean up damage to the original photo... that sort of thing. Knowing what was possible in the first place is the first step... figuring out how to do it within the program was the next - and it's quite intuitive. Further, the help file(s) and video tutorials are extremely helpful.

I would say that the bigger (more powerful) the machine that use, the better the program performs. Give it the processing power that it needs.

Some - we have done small customizations to the interface

No - the product does not support adding custom code

No, I have not purchased premium support. I haven't had a need to. So far, without exception, when I've had questions about the program, I've been able to get answers from the existing help file(s) and online video tutorials. Collectively, those have been a terrific resource.

I have not had to contact support for anything.

Cropping
Smart photo fix
Image rotation
Saving as different file types

Nothing in particular - maybe just wish there were more keyboard shortcuts for very common functions

I've not had a need to integrate it with anything else - for me, it's a standalone product.

No - Corel has been top notch in product availability and pricing.

I can use it to correct documents when other applications won't help me.

I can create digital copies of artwork I collect
I like the fact that I can create transparent backgrounds.
I can edit and clean old photographs.

I have had difficulty getting full features out of images made on Macs.
I've had difficulty properly opening vector graphics.
When saving .jpgs I find random pixels will change color on their own.

Being able to modify images has helped me recreate packaging for displaying and selling vintage toys.

Publishing
Visual Representation
Instruction figures

updating vintage files
discovering old data

Integration with Other Systems
Ease of Use

Very much so. I'm of the mind that anyone who applies themselves can learn it.

So far, I've been able to resolve nearly any issue using the help function.

accessing all features of old file formats

more intuitive use and commands
new features

better manipulation of older Mac files
support for older formats to make updating them easier

I use Corel PaintShop Pro to produce content for landing pages and other web content for my main line of work which is Internet Marketing. I have also used it to design artwork for t-shirts, mugs, stationery, and other print-on-demand merchandise for an online shop while pursuing a side interest.

An extensive range of image correction and effects tools. I found I could be very precise with exposures, color balancing and other aspects of fixing-up photos.
I like the fact that the original image is saved in a seperate place in my file system so I can easily revert to the original when I make a mistake
The "batch process" feature is an excellent feature for reapplying a learned series of changes to a batch of photos. It has saved me time.

I have the 2018 version and every now and again upgrade ads will pop up in the bottom right of my screen which I find rather annoying
How to save your work and where it gets saved is confusing. It took me a while to realize that projects were saved in "pspimage" files. The knowledge base article “The Basics Of Saving Files In PaintShop Pro” did not mention pspfiles. They also have the concept of workspaces, but I eventually realized that this is not where your work is saved.
I find that a tool called paint.net is massively easier to use, but, then again, paint.net has far fewer features. I think an option in PaintShop Pro for temporarily switching down the functionality and interface to resemble paint.net would be a useful feature, so users do not get blinded by the extensive interface.

The ability to work in layers is perhaps the most important feature, but that is expected of all middle-weight and upwards image processing tools.
We find image correction, which is well supported, to be something we frequently use.
Occasionally we use bulk processing on multiple images and this saves a lot of time.

Though I can not quote any figures, Corel PaintShop Pro has had a significant positive impact on our business as we use to jump around between quite a few tools to get a job done. Now all the tools are under one roof.
