Ideal for photography

Have PaintShopPro X2 since November 2008. Because my hobby is now the photography, I work almost every day along with the graphics program. At first was told the PSPx2 Stable running. What is very important for me, because a design process of an image takes place now times over several hours there. And there is probably not annoying when freezing shortly before the personal art of reach behind a blue screen. It offers plenty of tools to their own creativity to actively support. Although I began since 5 months, I am still not reached the limits. The program comes with enough tools, therefore, to achieve a desired goal.
It offers good-layer technology with masks for compositing multiple images. Especially in this context it is the very well-functioning eraser to name people and objects indemnify. The clone brush is sufficient to correct aberrations. Cutter, align and perspective tool are well-functioning and rapidly deployable tools in everyday image processing. Color correction to the image, coloring and converting to black / white working properly. It provides RAW development for many cameras and HDR, which I have not yet tried. The program also provides pre-defined framework for the fast slide show. If you do not want to resort to this, you just created your own. Another advantage: Most plug-ins for photo shop run under PaintShopPro.

So, my opinion: For photographing an ideal program to develop images, change and present !! Absolute Best Buy !!!

The Ultimate version offers more drivers for cameras for RAW development, Vista has been optimized and the frame set is extensive.
Costs for about 20 more.

What I think is a pity is that there is not much literature on the program as a book or magazine, but can the very good PaintShopPro nothing.
