    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).

    Pixelied is an online graphic design suite that makes it easy to create posters, ads, and branded designs for blogs, social media, and other publishing platforms. I am utilizing Pixelied to promote my social media accounts and to get thumbnails created for my YouTube channel. I use the photo filters to adjust the color of my photos, the mockup generator to piece together images with different backdrops, and the stock images and vector elements collection to add more detail and dimension to my designs. The templates allow me to create banners, image posters, and quotes. I found it easy to use because I could edit my own content without having to learn advanced design features. The templates helped me get started quickly and had everything I needed, from fonts down to icons. The photo filters were fun—they gave me an idea of how photos would look with different colors or patterns applied before I actually used them on my final designs. The only thing I didn't like about this tool was that adding images could slow down a layout if there were too many of them at once (like when you're trying to make a collage).

    Cons
    Corel Corporation
    • 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

    • Performance can become sluggish, particularly when adding new photos or vector elements to the layout design.
    • Pixelied can incorporate a broader assortment of creative stock assets, similar to Canva.
    • The options for modifying the composition's color scheme, adding customized elements, and personalizing the brand can be enhanced.
    • The basic options for moving, scaling, and rearranging layers and backgrounds should be accessible by right-clicking in the composition itself rather than through tool sets in the upper right sidebar.

    Usability
    Corel Corporation
    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.

    Performance
    Corel Corporation
    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.

    Pixelied offers a more straightforward and brisk workflow for designing and editing images compared to Canva and VistaCreate. This is despite the fact that Pixelied has a somewhat more limited choice of stock photographs and vector elements, in addition to readymade design templates. Additionally, it lacks several fundamental features and functionalities, such as the capability to personalize the different layers and color themes. It also has a restricted number of color themes. Pixelied, in contrast to InVideo and OFFEO, does not yet have any animation or video editing features. However, it does have the capability to design image layouts that can serve as a base for video slideshows and presentations, and it does offer photo mockups. Pixelied is an alternative to 123rf that provides an in-built stock photo and vectors library that is included in the subscription price. Additionally, you do not have to pay an extra fee for each new image that you download. 123rf, on the other hand, is a dedicated website for licensing and downloading stock images; therefore, its collection and diversity are significantly more extensive than those of Pixelied.

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