a tif to whatever folder you want to and reimport the file into the program! The edit menus are far from intuitive, but be that as it may, the preview function was a joke: you are making adjustments say to the saturation of different colors and up to a point there are no changes to the preview when you continue adjusting, there comes a point where PaintShop decides to wake up and do something, temporarily blocks any user inputs while clunking away at some computations and then after maybe 15 or 20 seconds the preview is updated and you can continue adjusting, all this while you haven't left the particular menu. Then, you can't finish the conversion and go on editing you first have to save the file as e.g. Next was the RAW "converter" with extremely limited adjustments. You can't read the EXIF data correctly? Hmmm. dng file correctly it said the image I imported was taken in 2098 instead of 1998 also got the color temperature as shot wrong, 3500K or something versus the actual 4350K. First issue: it didn't read the EXIF information of a. But for the long term, I'd really like to see Adobe have to face genuine competition after they exerted their monopoly power.ĭownloaded the 30 day free trial of Corel PaintShop Pro X7. I know Corel have been adding numerous features since PSP X, but I haven't made the effort to assess whether they're actually delivering finished software that offers 16-bit editing in wide-gamut color spaces.įor the time being, I'm sticking with Photoshop CS5 and converting raw files from my new camera to DNG (I know that's also making a deal with the devil, but it's a less unattractive option than renting Photoshop). Adobe alienated many users when they went to a rental model, so there's a large market for a genuine alternative.
That said, I really would like to see PSP become a serious alternative to Photoshop. It would be no exaggeration to say that it was Corel that sold me Photoshop!
I was so frustrated with what could only be called a "pre-beta" release (with documentation so incomplete that a group of loyal users effectively donated their labor to produce their own on-line reference) that I decided to make the switch to Photoshop CS2. For me it was the promise of color management as well as 16-bit editing.
I was also a long-time PSP user who fell for Corel's empty promises of PSP X.
