After reading all the reviews I decided to give my take on new ver 12. I have and still use ver 7 on an old celeron computer running Windows ME. I run ver 8 on a 2.6 pentium computer running Windows XP Pro. I built a new machine a couple months ago running a AMD 4400+ X2 running Windows XP Pro. I found that ver 12 installed with no problems and in no more then 15 minutes. I did what was instructed and had closed all other running programs during the install. I also created a restore point using system restore in case there were problems. After installing I took it for a fun test drive. After playing with it, and loving it. I will say that for a regular grandpa that takes hundreds of photos a year of the grandkids. This is one wonderful piece of software. I am using a 19" Samsung model 906BW LCD monior with the resolution set a the factory recommend 1440X900. No trouble seeing the screen. Using a EVGA 7600 video card with 256mb ram. The computer itself has 2Gb Kingston HyperX PC 3200 DDR. Because some reviewers said the program loaded slowly when opened. I turned on that machine and after it booted I opened the program and timed it. 17 seconds. Yes seconds. So I can only imagine that the ones having trouble with the way the program loads must have a lot of other stuff running at the same time. It took only seconds also to save a picture that I cropped, removed redeye. and resized before saving. With earlier vers I have been able to do some wonderful things to old B&W photos taken back in the early 40's of my father during WWII as well as my mother and older brother and sister. I'm sure this new ver with only make playing around that more fun. If you are new to photo editing I believe you will not be unhappy buying this. The other reason I purchased it was I'll be building another new computer as soon as service pack 1 is released for Windows Visa. And this ver with run under Vista.

Every release of this software since Corel bought it has had one or two little features that teased people like me into buying it, only to find that other features that we liked had been dumped.
I have Photo X2 on my machine at work. I have PSP X on my laptop and home computer. Version X will open DNG RAW files with no problem, but the newer version won't open them at all. The help feature makes some fishy remarks about RAW not really being RAW, but I haven't seen this problem addressed anywhere else, and I can't find a reason for the software acting this way.
I do like the makeover tool in the newer versions, but that's about it. It's probably not worth the money. And they need a better border tool so you can do relief-type borders. That shouldn't be difficult.
When Corel bought the program, they dropped the best tools - the auto white balance, and the auto contrast. Now you have to mess with sliders. Life was so much easier back then. I got version X because it would work with RAW files, but it appears that functionality has disappeared from X2. I am not impressed. What will they thing of to remove next?Paint Shop Pro Photo X2

Once you get to know all or most of the features, it's super. You can really enhance a photo to come out better than a new camera. It takes a little practive but its worth it. Has to many palettes up on start, but once you close most you have more work area.

This is the best picture editing software I have ever used, and I have used a bunch. The only issue here is that it is a very large and powerfull program and there is a lot to learn. Fortunately it has a tutoring portion, and a good "how to" book included.
