Is now my 3rd Paintshop. Qualitative differences are for me not serious. Version X4, X6 at least would still served. Bin further convinced of the product, working as an amateur so often. Beginners probably first confusing and getting used to, but after some practice and try makes it really fun to optimize his pictures, to change or make new (levels).
The Magic Fill is new, and like it very much. Do I have previously airbrushed stuff with the clone brush, it's much easier and in surprisingly good quality with Magic Fill. An untrained eye sees no difference.
Class program - I favor before Adobe Photoshop Elements.
