PaintShop Pro X - 9/10/2005 7:20:58
There is a new PaintShopPro X version that was just released this week (I think it was on Sept 6, 2005).
Anyone try it out yet and is it worth the upgrade price of $59.00?

ritarun,
I'm on Corel's - "this guy will buy anything as soon as it's released, let's notify him first" list.
Haven't heard a peep. Scam?
When/if I do hear then, yeah, I'll probably dig out the plastic and spring for it.

Dave,
Corel's business model seems askew or, with the Euro so strong, maybe they don't need my paltry USD now that they've hit the big time.

i didn't bother going any further as the installer reckoned i wasn't connected to the internet (same as for psp9 trial - which i contacted corel/jasc about and never received a reply). i wasn't thinking of buying it anyway and now i know for sure!

jaybee,
May have been a good non-decision. 9 came out with 2 patches - bang, bang - right away. Program works OK and I do like the expanded photo manipulation features but loading time is suspect which i suspect is one reason for the introduction of "X".

My initial evaluation of PaintShop Pro X very favorable.
After 10 minutes of use, I noticed: (1) program loads faster (turn-off default loading of "My Pictures" though), (2) program more intuitive with a "Learning Center" bar on the left, (3) View, Toolbars now actually displays what tool bars are loaded - no more guessing and (4) the Adjust, "Smart Photo Fix" feature is worth the cost of admission by itself. With this feature images can be manipulated on one screen via slide bars. Other "tweaks" still available such as Clarify, Red-eye Removal, Color Balance, Digital Camera Noise Removal, etc.
Boxed version (free S&H) for $59 USD also comes gratis with the standard version of Photo Album 6.0.
Many more features to explore and, hopefully, many more pluses to discover

Thanks Larry for your comments.
Thanks to everyone else for all of the other posts as well.
These comments are very helpful to me (and hopefully to others).
I'll have to see if I can scrape up some funds.....
