Corel PaintShop Pro 2023 Ultimate | Powerful Photo Editing & Graphic Design Software + Creative Suite | Amazon Exclusive ParticleShop + 5 Brush Starter Pack [PC Key Card]

The installation process for this suite is a nightmare and to be honest, I’m STILL trying to decide if the hassle of installing Corel is worth the money saved over Adobe products. I will update this review in the future once I’ve had even more time to work with it; I’ve been using competitor products for 10+ years now so I’ll need more time to really give Corel a fair shake. But PHEW, this installation process was such a bad introduction!

I purchased the - Corel PaintShop Pro 2023 Ultimate | Powerful Photo Editing & Graphic Design Software + Creative Suite [PC Key Card] – for my place of business. I installed it on the mini-pc that I have set up in the workshop area for use with my laser engraver. I’m also running an old version of Photoshop Elements, and Krita. A long ways back, I was a Corel user so when the opportunity arose to try the program out again, I jumped at the opportunity.

Powerful options at a pay one time price. Competes as best in class for consumer photo editing. There are a ton of Corel supported tutorials and video on-line beating all competitors, especially for non-professionals. This and all versions have incremental upgrades but if you havent upgraded for 2 years, this is the one to get now. Highly recommended, I gifted a version to a good friend and I would buy it again

This was a bit of a pain to install. The box contained a paper with the software keys and a download url to go to. The downloaded file contained folders for each piece of software and some folders with the addons, which for the fonts was just a bunch of font files and I couldnt figure out how to get them in so they were useable in the program. The other install files I had to do into each folder and run the executable to install them, then some even had to download additional data afterwards. It took at least 30 minutes to run through all of them. But like I said they fonts I never could figure out how to get them into the program.

I recently order the photo editing software. Installed very easy. Its a one of the best photo editing software i have tried.

..unless youre a computer whiz, which I am not. I called customer support twice because I couldnt download the product. Apparently, customer support is located in the Middle East somewhere, because I couldnt understand them. Also, they couldnt wait to get me off the phone, even though I was nothing but courteous to them. So now Im stuck with a useless $85 cardboard box. Of course this is no reflection on Amazon. As usual they delivered promptly. No complaints at all about Amazon.

No disk no user guide ! HORRIBLE

As many other reviewers have already stated, installation is a pain. I consider myself relatively computer/tech-savvy, and I honestly probably would not have been able to get this software on my computer if it weren’t for piecing together and following the helpful tips that other reviewers shared. Once installed though, the software is great. I’ve been using the quick-start guides, as well as other various online tutorials to really get to know PSP and so far, so good! Painful upfront with the installation, but an overall good product.

Somehow this product gets worse with every release. I guess its time to convert to a real image editor...

I purchased this a month ago and still having issues. Support is horrible.
