Review by Jimmy Moore from Livin' La Vida Low-Carb

I got this Corel PaintShop Pro X7 hoping it would be a good alternative to Photoshop. I’ll warn you that this is a pretty complex program and there is no way you could possibly list all the features included in it. But here are the most interesting ones:nnBASIC FUNCTIONSn- This a highly functional photo processing software.n- It comes with lots of fun and practical built-in filters.n- You can crop, straighten, fix red eye, add text, convert to black and white or adjust colors/saturationnnADVANCED FUNCTIONSn- You can clone itemsn- Remove scratches and unwanted objectsn- Apply special effects like time warp (to make photos look old)n- Selective Focusn- DistortionnnThis software allows you to apply layers which gives you the freedom to experiment with different looks and still keep your original image until you are ready to merge them. It also has a cool ability to add 3D effects, turn your photos into pencil drawings, paintings, and more. If you’re looking for a program with similar functions to Photoshop but don’t like the Photoshop price, this may fit the bill
