Summary: Hold On Before Purchase
Comment: Like other reviewers here, I, too, recommend stopping at version 8. Above that, I've encountered glitches that drive me nuts. For example, with ver.9 and up, I often encounter dialogue boxes telling me my system is short of memory and cannot perform tasks at hand. The 1st time this happened, I had 3.5Gbs system memory. On a new computer, I had 4 GB and still encountered the problem. On my latest system, I have 8 GB system memory and I am still being stopped in my tracks for "lack of system memory". There are freezes, too, and, as others noted here, PSP X, XI up are painfully slow to work with. I really hated to say goodbye to PSP but it is no longer what it was when JASC owned the company.

Summary: Many, many problems
Comment: I've been a loyal Paint Shop Pro user since version 3. I've used it on major commercial design projects, right alongside Photoshop on my Mac and Gimp on my Linux box. Sadly, version XI is one of the poorest software builds of any product I have ever seen. It locks up, won't start, won't close, takes forever to load, and has issues with many fundamental functions such as JPEG formats, loading/saving files, cache management, and thumbnail generation! Really, it is just unbelievably bad. Worse, when it crashes, although you can kill it from Windows Task Manager, it will immediately crash if you try to launch it again -- you'll have to reboot your computer to get it to work. Moreover, it is painfully slow, even on my fast Intel Core 2 Duo box with dual-channel memory and SATA drives. My advice to users is to stick with Version 9.

Summary: Not what I was expecting
Comment: I must admit I am a novice in respect to digital photography but this program is a little too complicated for me (more than I can handle at this point). The cyber-shot viewer that came with my camera met my needs for photo editing but did not offer a "delete picture" option or the capacity to print to a disk. I thought the print to disk option was a part of the Paint Shop package which it does not appear to be.

Summary: Happy Customer
Comment: I purchased this program specifically to pick images from two different photos and place them on a third picture as a background.
It worked great. For the most part this is a relatively easy program to use and it can do big tricks...
I like it, would recommend it.

Summary: Don't upgrade unless u have a supercomputer
Comment: I've been a loyal PSP fan since the shareware days. After sticking with version 8.x for years, I thought I'd take advantage of an attractive upgrade offer from Corel to go to version XI.
My machine isn't the greatest, but it's not the worst either (2.5GHz with 2GB RAM) and this program was *painful* to try to use. Even after they released the patch, it was practically unusable and brought the entire system to a crawl. The installer changes the file associations for images to point to PSP XI which is normal. However, I would forget this and try to do a quick open of an image file and literally cringe when that splash screen of the girl with the camera appeared knowing it would be several excruciating seconds before I could shut the app down and open the image in something usable. I finally just un-installed the thing and went back to version 8.x. It's too bad. I really hoped to take advantage of some of the advanced features offered in PSP and Photoshop is priced way out of my league.
