Review by COLORADO HERMIT

I have several photo programs on my computer and several others that I didn’t care for laying around. My favorite, easiest to use and quickest one to use has been the Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10. I also have the Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI and I’ve used it for my more advanced editing.n Now this Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3 takes the place of both of them. All the basic editing functions are pretty much intuitive and easy to find and use. It will switch from photo archive to basic editing to advanced editing and back to archive very easily. It comes with a book showing how to use it and there are online tutorials for its use too. I haven’t got very far into its more advanced uses yet but I think this will be the last photo program I’ll need for a long time.n There is just one thing that I did not like about it and the installation of it. And that is it doesn’t give you any choice, it takes over, on its own, and it goes through the entire hard drive collecting ever image file on it and puts them all in its photo archive. I would much rather be able to have the CHOICE of which photos and folders to put in its archive. But then that’s something that just about every photo program I’ve ever tried does when its first installed.n So if you want something more than just the Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10, or something to go with it, I suggest trying this one.
