I've always used as a hobby photographer only trial versions of Photoshop and but me there to learn effective functions restricted to fast. For exactly the same purpose I have now tried Corel. The instalation done easily and quickly. Similarly, the software is fairly self-explanatory and so one can find as Amateur quickly master. What I always bad on Photoshop found was reflected to the large image files over and over again in the time it takes for the Probgramm to open it. That seems to me to go much faster with Corel and yet I see the files in the same resolution - plugged in the case probably less additional feature in it that needs to be loaded with high. For fast image processing, sometimes the way, that's ideal.
I can do with Corel everything I've ever done with Photoshop. Zuscheiden, sharpness and brightness rework, add a few points iris, increase contrasts, dynamic and perhaps here and there a rotation of picture elements, remove unsightly places .... cover, dodge .... Own lettering muster ... and ready. All I need. And that quickly and without complications. I am therefore very satisfied!
What I do not need, is the management tool. I am something intrinsically and use my own folder system which I put directly to the external hard drive. A system that manages, therefore I do not need. Since I am my own. But good, not to use the program also does not hurt :)
