cannot think of any.

"No Longer Works with Windows 7"
Version: Corel PhotoImpact X3
Pros
It is an outstanding program worth much more than it is sold for. Free try version works great for 30 days
Cons
Coral's activation code that you buy will not work. Contacting Coral you just get an attitude that they no longer longer support PhotoImpact X3 on Windows 7.
Summary
It works on Windows 7 for the 30 day free trial. After that you can not purchase it.

"Easy to use"
Version: Corel PhotoImpact X3
Pros
Simple easy to understand even for kids!
Cons
You have to click double when Save as is in use till you get nameimage.ufo or when you need another of the same image again nameimage.gif click till the .gif is showing after the name. Otherwise it doesn't work and it will leave a blanc on the filetype. To correct it open with Ulead Photoimapct again and do the steps Save as nameimage.(filetype you need)over!
Summary
I use it for several years now and you don't have to take classes for it ;-)

"Limited in the file types it supports."
Version: Corel PhotoImpact X3
Pros
Lots of automated fixes.
Cons
It does not support any raw fikes other thah DNG. Also will not load TIF fikes if they're layered.
Summary
Sorry, but i have no desire to convert my library of raw files nor am I willing to convert my TIF file to something else like PNG or JPG. I tried to do that and i lost the layering in the TIFs and all the meta data when I converted the TIFs. It just wasn't for me. Fortunately Corel refunded the purchase price with no hassle, and refunded quickly.

"Great program but..."
Version: Corel PhotoImpact X3
Pros
The program is intuitive, easily mastered without tutorials. Good for beginners... way easier to understand then Adobe Illustrator.
Cons
Customer support, memory hog (but most Design softwares are)
Summary
The problem is Corel... they don't support any product that isn't Corel. Don't expect any decent customer service and this program is being discontinued says 'Kris' from Corel customer service (2/4/11). It won't run on Windows 7 and they are not going to make any patches. Corel bought ULead and has planned on phasing out the PhotoImpact software.
