Since version 6 I have experienced with the development of Corel Draw and Photo Paint, partly in the form of OEM versions or very expensive full versions. Corel Draw and Photo Paint in my opinion are easier to use than other similar products. My Photoshop Essentials (an already stripped down version) saw the first sight more complicated than Corel Photo Paint, which is always present in the suite. Things I could do as untrained private users since the OEM version of Corel 7 already were in other programs (eg: Photoshop Essentials) impossible. Menu names and branches were there partly not only illogical, some functions were missing. Corel provides, as always, logical menus, easy operation, and within the einzelen features a wide variety of settings. That this of course also applies to the main product Corel Draw, which is used in desktop publishing, I would like to have even mentioned here. Normally, you do not get such a product below 500 euros. Although CorelDRAW Essentials 2 provides the full version of CorelDraw 11, the photo editing program, however, was probably programmed for the purpose of Essentials and has nothing to do with Photopaint classical suite. Thanks to this OEM version gets you can save a lot of money if you can do without "features" such as packaging and printed instructions.
I can recommend to anyone, it only. And in my opinion there is no reasonable alternative
