Review by Joseph T. Reinckens II

Just a quick update since this is now not the latest version and potential buyers will be trying to decide whether to pay more for X6.

X5 and X6 are pretty much identical except that X6 comes with both a 32-bit AND 64-bit versions. Tests show the 64-bit version is MUCH faster IF you are running 64-bit Windows and have sufficient memory AND are handling large files or a large group of files (batch process).

ULTIMATE versions of PaintShop Pro include additional third-party software that does significantly differ between X5 and X6.

X6 has a new link on its Help menu to online video tutorials: Help>Video Tutorials. All the videos are available in a browser at learn. corel. com and most of them are actually for X4 or X5, since FUNCTIONALLY X4, X5 and X6 are almost identical.

Additionally, someone with the handle LeviFiction (no space) has recorded a set of 66 YouTube videos on Paint Shop Pro Basics.
