Reviewed by: CNET Staff
With a smrgsbord of tools for working with digital photos and creating illustrations, the latest version of Paint Shop Pro hits the mark, but longtime users may be disoriented by the transformation.
The once-cluttered UI now features a straightforward, sleek interface that offers more automatic options for the most common photo-editing and organizing tasks. Novices will rejoice about the new Learning Center that provides clear instructions on the tool they're using. Unfortunately, to install the trial version and test Paint Shop Pro's powers, you need to create a Corel account on the company's Web site. In return for registering, this program offers about every tool you'll need for illustrating and perfecting your digital photos. Besides the standard assortment of drawing implements, you'll find such new additions as the Smart Photo Fix and Makeover Tools.
New tools and palette options help users quickly and easily retouch the subjects in their photos, remove objects, and add special effects. The all-encompassing feature set makes Paint Shop Pro a great bet for pros or anyone else craving a fine degree of control over digital images.

Version: Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI
Pros: A great program to use to make, edit and correct graphics and images. Althought this isn't my favorite version of PSP, it's still a good one... any version from 7+ is great! This one is a bit tricky to use, but you'll get used to it after a while and much practice with it.
Cons: Only a 30-day trial. A bit tricky for the novice with PSP, but, a great program!

Version: Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI
"Each Version Better Than Previous"
Pros: I've been using PSP since version 3.
This 11 version is definitely oriented to photo management.
There are new tools specifically designed for photo acquisition,retouching and sharing.
There are some new filters (like the "Time Machine") but they are only regarding photographic images(I think because Corel devoloped Corel Painter for artistic purposes,however PSP and Painter can be used together)
Some controls have a different interface but almost all function are still familiar.
The Browser function has been changed (again!).It was explorer-like (with all files and folders in the same page to navigate within),now you have a "collection" of folders (which of course you can add as you want).Being now PSP photo dedicated,browser has tagging and calendar tools to organize better your albums.
Cons: All cons for me are related to the new browser.
I preferred the previous explorer-like version.Moreover i can't find a good place to put it without covering the opened images (i must close and open it each time)
