Corel‘s PaintShop Pro (originally called Paint Shop) is a fully functional, easy-to-use professional digital photo editing and graphic designing software. Compared with PhotoShop, its significantly smaller file size, much flexibility, and faster and easier operation make it more popular. Even though in the aspects of comprehensiveness of functions and support for third-party plugins it is slightly inferior to PhotoShop.

PaintShop Pro provides tools that allow you to easily capture, create, enhance and optimize your graphic files. In addition to support to 30+ image file formats, it also provides the efficient Layer function. Each Layer can have different effects, and its edit or modification is very convenient. Furthermore, we can merge multiple Layers after editing them. In the later revisions, we only need to edit the specific Layer, without having to remake the full image. Additionally, PaintShop Pro’s inbuilt screen capture function also enables users to capture any screen as picture to edit, which is very practical and helpful.

In a word, the similar software that can compete with PhotoShop and survive in the end is really rare, however PaintShop Pro is the best one of them. Its omnipotent image processing functions can stimulate your creativity, and make you work achieve a perfect realm. BTW, novice users are also able to use the built-in training tools to use this software while learning it. These training tools include their award-winning learning center and video tutorials.
