Corel launching Paint Shop Pro XI

[EtheAv8r]

Comparing PSP price against PhotoShop price is not a fair comparrison, it should be compared against PhotoShop Elements which is the equivalent of PSP. I have both PSE 4 and PSP X, and each has it's good points - but I hate the way PSPX hijacks all the file assignments and adds itself (Browse with PaintShop Pro) to the contextual menues in Explorer.

PhotoShop Element 5 upgrade has also been announced - so the two main contenders for enthusiast digital photographers go head-to-head once more.....

Just tried out the trial and its slooooooooow, zooming in and out takes far too long.

I tried running it on a 2.6ghz Celeron and 1gb ram machine at work with a 17megapixel image *2x9mp images joined with a little overlap*

Have to agree - it's pathetically slow.

Uninstalled it and gone back to PSP9 now.

I use both PSP Pro X and Adobe Photoshop 6.0 - I find that for resizing Photoshop does a far superior job, especially if it is graphics with text and you are only making a small change.

Other than that small niggle I am happy wth version 10 and cannot forsee an ungrade.
