At one time Corel graphics was competitive with PS. It is no longer, for various reasons. That said, PSP has a lot of functionality, and is a good alternative to PS Elements. As of now, the only corel products I use are WordPerfect and Painter.otterTony CooperEric Stevens
First, Adobe sells Photoshop, not Paintshop. A mental error, but it makes a difference because there is a program called "Paintshop".
Sorry about that. I should know better because I've got Photopaint. I always tend to get them confused.Tony CooperEric Stevens
Second, CorelDraw is not a substitute for Photoshop. CorelDraw is a vector drawing program. (I have CorelDraw) It is not a photo editing program. There is a package called CorelDraw Graphics Suite X6 that contains Photo-Paint, but that's US$400.
I wasn't talking about CorelDraw but 'CorelDraw Suite'. That includes all kinds of things. The current list includes CorelDraw, Corel PhotoPaint, Power Trace, Website creator, Corel Capture and Corel Connect.
Corel may indeed have a product called PhotoPaint. But they also have (or had) a product call Paintshop Photo Pro. I am staring at it in a box on my bookshelf. I think I paid $25 for it in a Black Friday deal a few years ago, but never got around to installing it.
