Have been using PSP for over 10 years and love it. PSP X6 is fabulous and can make you very lazy as it does most of the work for you.

While I agree that it is much the same program as it was under Jasc, I've kept buying the new ones - generally when they go on sale. There is rarely much of a penalty for being a year out of date and just before a new version comes out the previous year's version's price is at rock-bottom.

A recent version came out with a selection brush which is a great tool when you need it. Also, I recently noticed that there is support for saving images in loss-less JPEG. I'm not sure when that JPEG support was added.

The user interface has evolved more than anything else since Corel took over the product. You may or may not prefer it over the much simpler Jasc approach.

Interesting. Thanks for your info. I keep considering upgrading...and the years go by. I wasn't happy when Corel bought Jasc out and have been stubborn about it.

Why weren't you happy? I started with it under Jasc and I have only experienced positive changes since it was acquired by Corel.

I knew the guys who created PSP, used to talk to them on the phone. I was glad for them that they sold to Corel, but didn't like the idea of a corporate behemoth taking over the program and changing it. I gave the first Corel version a try, felt that they had screwed up the interface, and got the run around from them when I tried to give input about it. So I got stubborn about it. Not saying that any of this is rational LOL.

the new interface with the full editor, the browser and the express editor seems awkward sometimes but it is more of a visual appeal thing to me than anything. the express editor seems like a waste because it covers up so much. one of my more curious acquaintances investigated a bit more and says it is possible to modify the express editor and add back some of the menu selections and buttons so you can create a custom pared down version of the editor with only the feature you use regularly and that in theory should speed up a lot of your common chores. I have not tried this or verified it, so you mileage will vary. I have not been that curious because I never saw the full editor menus as cluttered in the first place.

So far as deals, you can search for coupon codes that are good for free shipping, free or reduced cost books or access to online training resources, and my favorite is to check the Amazon gold box deals. the X6 ultimate version I have, I bought from Amazon for all of $27.95. thanksgiving is coming up, and before and after there are pre-pre- Black Friday deals, Cyber whatever days sales and any number of specials. At least 4 times a year I find some version of PSP for under $40 and often with some kind of freebie added to it.

I have a buddy the does commercial video production and lots of editing for a production firm. I asked him about video editing, and his answer was get Corel VideoStudio Ultimate and take the savings and invest in a good microphone system. Sound seems to be the Achilles heel of DSLR video.
