Reviewed by: CNET Staff
With a smorgasbord of tools for working with digital photos and creating illustrations, the latest version of Paint Shop Pro hits the mark. 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: Paint Shop Pro 10.0
Pros: If you're not using Photoshop and you're an advanced user, you will really want to use Paint Shop Pro X. If you're new to it, you must immerse yourself in its interface and study the Help file for a while, but it will be time well spent. Paint Shop Pro X will let you do virtually anything you can imagine. Better, you can now do some truly sophicated correction and enhancement work with this version. Another thing is that I was surprised Corel kept the price down. That's good!
Cons: If you're new, the learning curve is quite steep, and its text feature, while flexible, is aggravating to use.
