I have tested X2 quite a lot and decided not to upgrade. You can use the magic wand to delete the black background, but if your image has black on it, then you're SOL.įailing to address the business environment (proxies), and failing to address basic bugs leaves me no choice but to rate it a 2-star. If you open a GIF with a transparent background, it doesn't work. Also, you have to download updates manually.Ģ. However, Corel checks for updates each time it starts and if it can't go through the proxy it locks up for 10 seconds before starting. Registration is required and you can't go through a proxy? They at least fixed it in this version so that you can open up a seperate web browser to register. The software doesn't work through a proxy and there's no setting to add it. Bugs that they've failed to address in numerous releases.ġ.

However, there are a couple reasons I'm not going to rate this a 5 star. I feel like the interface relatively OK and easy to use. I've been using it since about PSP 5 or so and has added several features. However it is much cheaper and easier to use than Photoshop. Paint Shop Pro is a good program for doing somewhat advanced photo/image editing, though not on the level as Photoshop. To me it is very important because I am so angry. I can not believe that this action of theirs is lawful. Of course it is not expensive to meet their demand but that is an unthinkable way to do business. "I smashed your window but I will not repair it." said the ball player. They will not support it but they are the ones who created the problem by shutting it down. They say that they will not support the program which is on the older computer. The tech people acknowledged that I have the right to put my program on two computers. It is like breaking in to someone's home.

I am outraged that Corel is able to barge in and make such a demand.

A large dialogue box appeared stating that I needed to buy an upgrade in order to UNLOCK my Paint Shop Pro. Today I selected a photo on the desktop and used a flash drive to move it to the laptop to be printed. To complicate matters I recently bought a new wireless printer. I have Paint Shop Pro on an old desktop and a slightly newer laptop.
