I recently bought Paint Shop Pro (along with my new dual core computer). Has anyone used this? What do you think? I tried it yesterday and it seems really good and less complex that Photo Shop.
Nikon D3100 with Tokina 28-70mm f3.5, (I like to use a Vivitar .43x aux on the 28-70mm Tokina), Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye, Quanteray 70-300mm f4.5, ProOptic 500 mm f6.3 mirror lens.

Before I learned how to use photoshop I used Paint Shop Pro. I liked very much because it was easy as you say. Those days PSP didn't have so many tools as it has today for photography. That was the reason I changed. I haven't upgraded my program so far, I have Corel PSP X.
I think this will be a great program for you because of their tools to paint digitally.

Thanks Irma. I found that the contrast, brightness and sharpening tools are more nuanced than on my old Photos Suite program.

PSP is brill, different strokes for different folks: I personally find it not as "instinctive" as PShop for "old school" darkroom-type applications, but yes, an excellent toolset.

Don, Paint Shop Pro is all I've ever used, and I've been very happy with it.
