Free Paint Shop Pro

[digitaldude400d]

Corel is offering Paint Shop Pro X free for a very limited time. This sint the latest version but if you want a decent image editor this is a good deal.

I thought this was the Corel Painter, which is really where they shine. Any chance they are giving that away somewheres?

I've been using X2, the latest version, for a few months now, and I like it a LOT. Hardly ever mess with PS anymore.

it's not a bad program, I used XI for a while, but it didn't support RAW images for the camera I had and instead of patching it they released a new version and wanted more money

they do offer a lot of options within the program I really liked, but the lack of ability to edit RAW images was a killer for me.

That's EPIC! Free is my favorite color.

Yeah, as you mention, the latest version does support some RAW formats. I've tried it out with Canon's raw files and it works fine. Personally, I like the software that came with my Canon DSLR for manipulating RAW images. It actually does a nice job. So I wind up never using X2 for RAW anyway.

I think it was a very limited offer...I have the .exe, if anyone has a way for me to host it I will.

Thanks, I'm still using version 8 -- the last version when they were still JASK, I think.

I skipped ver8 and went to ver9 which was really good. But the changes in x2 are more than worth the cost. The noise reduction is fabulous and the general look-feel has improved. I felt 8 went backwards from 7, but 9 was a good program and I still use it some on an older computer.

Thanks for the info. I may just eat the cost as well. I went from 4 to 8 which was an improvement. Looks like X2 is worth the expense.

if you download the free one, version X, you can buy version X2 at a discount.

But x2 is heavily discounted now, almost free
