Scotty 0 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 This is for all you techies out there. After checking out the many posts here regarding Paint Shop Pro 9, and everyone's endorsement, I figured I'd go buy it and try and educate myself. Unfortunately, it appears Pro 9 is no longer being produced by the company. I even called them today and asked. The newer version is Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. I did check around the web today, and some people seem to like this new version, others don't and say it takes up too much space on their computer and that it is very slow. I was wondering if any of you have used it, and if so, would you recommend it? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kcsheperd 13 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Not sure..I use Paint Shop Pro X.. but I also love Adobe Photoshop, and they both do about the same thing. So if you don't like the PSP, you might try the adobe and see if you like it.. Good luck! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GizmoHappyKitty 1 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I have Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 and I LOVE it. I have never tried any of the other versions so I have nothing else to compare it to other than the old Picture it program I had on my older computer. I think if you go to their website that you can probably try a trial version of it to see if you like it or not. http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/...t/1152796555406 Michele and the pups Quote Link to post Share on other sites

janemin 5 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I just downloaded the trial version.I have PSP 9.I haven't had a chance to see if there is any difference in the two.Has anyone compared the two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FairyTail Josette 14 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 A friend of mine has every PSP version there is....from the very old to the new. The newer versions are more user friendly, but, you are more limited in what you can do, versus than with the older versions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scotty 0 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Thank you all for your input. I think I'll definitely give Photo X2 a chance. I've never worked with any other product, so this will be a challenge, but I think it'll be fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's much more user friendly than some of the older PSP versions. Hope that helps. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LondonGirl 3 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) I am still using PSP v8. I looked into the later ones but they didn't seem to offer more bells and whistles, occasionally fewer. Neecie if you want to dip you toe in without splashing the cash after the commercial software trials, there are some very good free editing programmes listed here : http://dottech.org/headline/12196 and there are thousands of options for making siggies on imikimi.com. If you want to 'play around' with some of your pictures, try picnik.com. The last two are pretty idiot proof :imstupid: Edited November 23, 2009 by LondonGirl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sannajae 0 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Lorraine, Suzi thank you both soooo much for the info, im now onto it!! xx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cackle 144 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 You can dl a trail version of Paint shop pro. I think it lasts about a month. I don't think you get animation shop with the latest versions so look around for a download for that if you want to be able to animate your tags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
