I liked PSP up to version 7, and I got to be very good with psp7, but to be honest I think its gone down hill drastically since then in an aid to be some kind of photographers friend. The UI has become less intuitive and the focus has become heavily on wizards rather than the level of manual control I prefer

I think PSP is easyer to use than Adboe Photoshop !

petemc · 10-11-2007, 17:36

It is, but theres good reason why Photoshop is the industry standard image editor. Its just incredible!

Tysonator · 12-11-2007, 22:25

I agree a very powerful tool, though damn hard to learn,..so if you do not know it, it is all but useless !

I've got PSP9 and get on with it OK (no wizards to speak of there). It's the last one before Corel took over and it doesn't surprise me if it went downhill after that.

I'd used PSP since about version 3 though (and bought several versions), so I'm used to it. I got a trial version of Photoshop CS2 and to be honest I didn't get on with it particularly well, but did manage some stuff with it so would probably have been OK had a perservered. I use PSP at work so a dodgy copy of CS3 isn't an option (not that it would be anyway as I try to keep my systems with at least some semblance of legality

).

have the adobe at the moment, though it is so hard to use.
For an easier option I might get PSP11

PS is harder but its the industry standard for a reason. Its nothing short of amazing. Plenty of good guides too.

Tysonator · 15-11-2007, 15:57

Totally agree, PS it is an amazing piece of kit.
I just can not get started yet, even on the basics. Thats why I was interested in perhaps buying PSP, as I think that is easier to use.

Bump from the vaults

Argh, this is SO frustrating. My pictures have been blighted by this contrast problem for years and I thought there was nothing I could do about it. I was searching through the menus looking for the black and white mode and found a setting called 'Parameters'. Here you can set a custom contrast and sharpness and the camera has been set on a high contrast. GRRRRRRRRR!

At least I found it at last.
