Capture One Pro vs. Corel PaintShop Pro

It is the best tool available to us for our workflow. Able to do most things really well, especially in the area of colour handling/management. It cannot be used for more creative work, such as making montages. Although it can be done, it is not the ideal tool for that.

Corel PaintShop Pro is well suited for photographers wanting to adjust photos and also for designers who want to create designs from scratch, working in layers and merging various elements. Due to slow load times, Corel PaintShop Pro is not well suited when you only have a few small tasks to do and when a lightweight alternative will do the job just as well (e.g. cropping and red-eye removal).

• Processing of images

• Perhaps have more AI features, as included in some competitor products
• Although file handling is pretty good, there is a steep learning curve to understand how it works.
• Difficult to understand how to use it and it's features for new people.

• I would like to see better smart cropping, we have the need for use in our carrying and travel cases for foam cut-outs. This requires a picture to be taken of the product and then outlined. The latest Apple update does a much better job of it than Corel. A definite need in our business

It's what I am most familiar with.

I previously tagged Corel PaintShop Pro as an 8, but I'm moving on up to 10. I've been a user for many years. I always purchase the updates when they come out, and they have consistently gotten better with each release. Corel PaintShop Pro provides features that I haven't seen in other similar apps at this price point - alot of bang for the buck. If Corel keeps making and updating this program, I will absolutely keep purchasing it.

I would say that the program loads a LITTLE slow, but that's not a problem, considering everything that likely needs to load in the background for it to do what it does. Once running, the program performs very acceptably.

Great product and great solution for our photo re-touching and web work as an enhancement to CorelDraw

Much easier and faster to use compared with Photoshop. However Adobe lightroom does provide similar features but isn't as capable with colour management.

I find Corel PaintShop Pro to be a lot more user friendly and affordable.

No contract terms. This is a standalone desktop app. Pricing is very affordable. Don't change a thing.

So far, any use I've had with paintshop pro is already in the standard scope

• The product has saved significant time through being able to batch process images
• Collaboration has become almost realtime with clients able to view images and select the best ones through setting up an online session. Prior to this images had to be emailed across, this has shaved off days in getting feedback.

• Our website is better because of Corel PaintShop Pro
• Our brochures for tradeshows are much better due to PaintShop Pro
