Paintshop Photo Pro X3 Ultimate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used many photo editing programs, and - while this does not have the power of Adobe Photoshop CS5 - that is not a financially similar product. This is more a rival of Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 (Win/Mac). I use Elements a lot, and find it robust and powerful, but also a complete computer systems hog with a huge learning curve. This program, Paintshop Photo Pro X3 Ultimate, is much more user friendly and computer resources friendly.
I was easily able to make the most common modifications to photos and do batch edits without any trouble at all. The program is smart, fast, and good a predicting what I want to do next. I especially appreciated the comprehensive RAW editing tools.
I intentionally loaded this on an underpowered system to see how it would handle a slower XP machine, and it did great! Install itself was a bit slow, but running the program was fine. I then installed it on my main machine, a powerful Win7 Pro computer, with extensive graphics support. It ran just as flawlessly.
This is missing some of the very high end effects tools available in Elements (such as tons of plugins), but has 99% of what most people will use are in there.
I would recommend that anyone considering purchasing Photoshop Elements, also give this program due consideration. Both give a lot more functionality than free versions of many photo programs, including Picasa.
