"A Budget-Friendly Alternative to Photoshop"
What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

I love about PaintShop Pro is how easy it is to get started, even if you’re not a pro editor.The tools feel straightforward, but you can still do advanced stuff like editing RAW photos, removing backgrounds, and working with layers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

The only thing I dislike about PaintShop Pro is that it can feel a bit slow when working with very large files or multiple layers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use, great licensing but simply not powerful enough"
What do you like best about Paintshop Pro?

The software is very easy to use, with little to no learning curve required. This has always been a key strength of the product from its earliest iterations.

Another key positive is the licensing. Great to see a continued commitment to lifetime purchases. I do wish more software packages would do the same. Frequent users benefit from a one and done payment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paintshop Pro?

The software itself still lacks some important features. For example, it doesn't handle automation, a feature that can be found in the free Gimp 3.0

I would like to see more powerful tools added to the suite, and a reduction in cost of the plugins. Should not be paying for some of the more rudimentary features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
