Which one?

I want to purchase either the Photoshop Element 7 or Corel paint shop pro photo x2. Does anyone knows the pros and cons of each one? I want one that's simple and easy to use.

Both are excellent. You will not be dissapointed with either of them.

Both will do anything that most folk will need. Personally I would err towards Elements, only because I use the full version of Photoshop.

Hi Donald, I downloaded both of the free trial version and like you said their both excellent. I perfer the Element 7, it was a lot easier to use.

I have an older version of both and tend to use photoshop elements. However lately I have been using gimp more and more since its free and have the latest features. Me iz too cheap to update the others.

One of the advantages of using software like Photoshop Elements and/or Paintshop Pro is that many digital photo magazines have free master classes on their cover disks...

In the UK, I can recommend Digital Photo Magazine for their tutorials...
