(More customer reviews)Corel PaintShop Photo 2010 has one absolutely unforgivable, fatal flaw: IT OVERWRITES YOUR ORIGINAL PICTURE FILES WITHOUT WARNING. This is ridiculous. You can't experiment, or try out features to learn the program without running the danger of ruining your pictures. As soon as you switch from one picture to another, the first picture is saved with all the modifications you made to it. No warning, no chance to change your mind. Corel knows best.
The solution, of course, is to hit the "revert to original" button before you change to another picture. But how often are you going to remember to do that? ANY DECENT PROGRAM will ask you for confirmation before destroying your original file.
The installation process is similarly constructed, making multiple changes to your OS without once asking permission.
So never mind the SLOWNESS of this thing (pack a lunch to get you through the installation process). Never mind the extreme (or so it seems to me) hardware requirements. Never mind the cutesy-poo non-standard user interface. Never mind that you really don't get very many tools to work on your photos with--if Auto-Fix doesn't do what you want, you don't have much else you can do. (And some of the tools are ridiculously worthless; for example, under Effects you get change to black and white, change to sepia, "antique", and soft focus. Wow. Frames and Edges are cute for about 5 minutes. And the Picture Tube function [more accurately called 'rubber stamp'] has no reason for existing that I can think of.) The fact that this thing overwrites your photos without permission completely takes it out of the running.
Luckily, I destroyed "only" 2 pictures before I realized what was going on. A simple confirmation dialog box would be all it took to fix this fatal flaw. It's insane that it doesn't have one.
