In my estimation Faststone Image Viewer is one of the best and most usable software available. It works quickly, efficiently, and is easy to use. If the photo requires anything extensive, you can configure Faststone to pass the image directly to your favorite image processing software. I like it because it is fast, I can make a couple of quick adjustments including cropping to size and and save to my favorite resolution. I use it for my viewer 100 percent of the time. I agree with your comment about free Faststone Image Viewer. have used Paintshop Pro for many years and have. It opens much quicker that PSP and, did I mention it's free? It's freeware (with no spyware) and offers some good basic editing tools. I think when I bought PSP 2019 Ultimate is was something like $29.99.Īnother software to check out is FastStone Image Viewer. I also have received the discounted upgrade notice (usually when I close the program) but have found that, as the days and weeks go by, they will offer additional discounts. I have used Paintshop Pro for many years and have been upgrading pretty consistently, especially the past four or five years. I am not one to care for a lot of automatic adjustments. I do realize that you have the option of adjusting after the preset but if I am going to have to make adjustments why not just go for adjustments and forget the presets. I shy away from a lot of the new programs because they are all going to 50 or more automatic presets of which a huge percentage don't fit my fancy. Affinity has taken the number 2 best program away from Corel PSP in the Top Ten Photo Editing Programs. PhotoMirage, Painter Essentials 6, GRFX Studio, and Aftershot Pro 3 are included with the Ultimate edition.īy the way, you are not the only one who is a strong advocate of Affinity. The pre-release price is $63.99 versus $79.99 full price (20 percent off).

2020 introduces several new features and enhances several old features. 2018 had a problem with the rulers that I didn't like which they fixed in 2019. I don't get the update every year but fairly close. I have been running PSP since Paintshop Pro version 7 by JASC. Right now I am running PSP 2019 Ultimate. download a trial copy and see if you really need them or even like them.Like buying last years car, I last month bought 20. If the 'new feature additions' sound interesting. If you share those infos, Corel will not have you arrested. You did not say what edition of PSPro you have, nor did you mention the 'secret loyal customer' price. I have used PSPro for many years and know what is behind each door. I am a strong advocate of Affinity, but unfortunately finger learning lazy. Like buying last years car, I last month bought 2019.
