"Powerful and complete tool at an affordable price"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

Many options, tools and possibilities. Can compete with Photoshop installed locally on a computer. Licenses are perpetual. Other bundled tools increase power. Image correction, like perspective, panorama, etc., can be done in the tool. Dual help system (online and PDF) has been found appropriate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

Even being able to open multilayer Photoshop files, it does not handle the layers correctly, does not show all layers, only the active one when saving the file. The help system is a little bit complicated but, in the end, we can find the solution to our question. Note that, even in the case that a license of use is purchased (perpetual), the user name is not included in the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paintshop Pro:

The training environment is a very useful tool provided by the company. Video tutorials exploring capabilities are extremely useful. Tips and tricks found in the training environment are interesting. Bearing in mind photo editing from cameras, it works with different formats and also accepts RAW images from different manufacturers, and can provide lens distortion corrections and color profiles from different cameras. Multiple graphics formats are handled, both opening and exporting. Multilayer .psd (Photoshop files) are not handled properly (does not consider multiple layers).

What problems is Paintshop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Edit, correct, crop, and merge different pictures. Recover old photos, restoring colors and creating different images. All of these tasks are oriented to provide documents, studies, and analysis to customers with useful graphical information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
