Comments about Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2:
Simple to use and has the ability to do HDR's. I bought X2 as an upgrade to PhotoPaint but found it wasn't as powerful. To make matters worse, after the installation, it corrupted the registry for PhotoPaint and now it freezes and crashes consistently even after uninstall of both. Now I have X2 which I don't care for and PhotoPaint that I cannot use. Corel's support was no help.

Comments about Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2:
I been using this software for a bit now, it's easy to use, and it does an amazing job on the photos. I also use Adobe PS and it's excellent, but it's kind of hard for the person who wants to do a one click fix on the pictures, it also has the ability to do some serious editing. It has an info panel on the left side that basically tells you what to do next, I find this is a very good feature since sometimes I get stuck on trying to so something. I hope this helps with your decision.
