1.0 out of 5 stars
Unforgivable.,
By
This review is from: Corel PaintShop Photo Express 2010 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Corel PaintShop Photo 2010 has one absolutely unforgivable, fatal flaw: IT OVERWRITES YOUR ORIGINAL PICTURE FILES WITHOUT WARNING. This is ridiculous. You can't experiment, or try out features to learn the program without running the danger of ruining your pictures. As soon as you switch from one picture to another, the first picture is saved with all the modifications you made to it. No warning, no chance to change your mind. Corel knows best.
The solution, of course, is to hit the "revert to original" button before you change to another picture. But how often are you going to remember to do that? ANY DECENT PROGRAM will ask you for confirmation before destroying your original file. The installation process is similarly constructed, making multiple changes to your OS without once asking permission. So never mind the SLOWNESS of this thing (pack a lunch to get you through the installation process). Never mind the extreme (or so it seems to me) hardware requirements. Never mind the cutesy-poo non-standard user interface. Never mind that you really don't get very many tools to work on your photos with--if Auto-Fix doesn't do what you want, you don't have much else you can do. (And some of the tools are ridiculously worthless; for example, under Effects you get change to black and white, change to sepia, "antique", and soft focus. Wow. Frames and Edges are cute for about 5 minutes. And the Picture Tube function [more accurately called 'rubber stamp'] has no reason for existing that I can think of.) The fact that this thing overwrites your photos without permission completely takes it out of the running. Luckily, I destroyed "only" 2 pictures before I realized what was going on. A simple confirmation dialog box would be all it took to fix this fatal flaw. It's insane that it doesn't have one.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Limited functionality and a bit slow,
By Robert S. Tobias (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Corel PaintShop Photo Express 2010 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is a slick program with a basic set of automated features (red eye correction, teeth whitening), global conversions (b/w, sepia), and puppies (see below) that can send your pictures to a few popular social sites.
If you are interested in making only simple, yet for the most part essential changes to your pictures and are working with only a few images then please skip to the last paragraph of this review. For me, the emphasis on a "slick" interface was not worth the loss of functionality, control, or speed. For example, there is no way to resize or sharpen an image. (Please read through the comments to this review for a more detailed discussion on these functions.) You can forget about changing white balance/color cast, color space or printer profiles. When comparing equivalent features ACDSee Photo Manager 2009 everything I tried took much longer in PaintShop. Also, in comparison to the ACDSee product, you have far fewer options for organizing and viewing and the editing capabilities are no where near as complete. However, one thing PaintShop Photo did offer was a stamp that dropped little pictures of puppies all over your image. While that was interesting I think it would get real old, real quick. The picture management capabilities are also lacking. You can assign tags and ratings but the search/sort/group features are all but non-existent. For example, you can assign a tag to a bunch of pictures and display just those. However, there is no way to then assign an additional tag to the group of imaged displayed. Also, the only way to display images in as a bunch of thumbnails. This is good for more than a few hundred pibtures. Even knowing these limitations I wanted this program to work well; it did not. It just took too long to do the little that it does... do. Also, it requires a minimum screen resolution of 1024x768 so running it on some netbook-sized screens will create additional issues. Who should buy this product? Someone who needs to make essential changes to a few pictures, uploads those pictures seamlessly to YouTube, facebook, or flickr, and wants the technical details to an absolute minimum and the cost under $43. If you can stay within these boundaries then this is a great program. The two stars are due to the speed of the program and the 'unlikelyhood" that you will be satisfied with these limits. * The "bloat" refers to what can only be using very inefficient techniques to implement the limited (albeit essential) features provided. BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews can take the place of first-hand experiences that are lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've received from other reviewers and work hard to return the favor as best as I can. I hope you found this review helpful and if there was anything you thought was lacking or unclear leave a comment and I'll do what I can to fix it.

Crash! Crash! Crash!,

This review is from: Corel PaintShop Photo Express 2010 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I was optimistic getting this program. I was looking for a lightweight, easy to use program for my photos. The only thing easy about this program was the installation. Everything went down hill from there.
When I started up the program it didn't give me an option to choose the area where my photo are located on my second internal drive. It scanned EVERY image on my drives. I couldn't stop it! I had to wait for the program to finish. Well, this took over 30 minutes. I only wanted my photos, not every image on my PC. So I changed the settings to remove the unwanted folders. 45 minutes to re-scan my drives again and 2 crashes! Ok, I need a break. So I walked away from my PC for an hour or so and restarted the program. It took 5 minutes for the program to re-start completely. When the program was ready all the image thumbnails were some type of generic icon, not my images. So I had the program re-scan my drive with my photos. Big mistake. 2 more crashes and another 45 minutes. Still no luck. Ok, I'm through with this. Then I tried to uninstall this program. No luck there either. My main hard drive sounded like a rocket on the take off pad @ NASA. The uninstall program got stuck at 49% for three (3) consecutive uninstall attempts. 2 more crashes. Finally I had to manually remove the files and cold reboot my system. Sorry folks, but I had way too many problems with Photo Express. It's buggy, crashes frequently, and almost impossible to uninstall. I am not a computer guru by any means, but I do know my way around my PC and this program had me pulling hair, yelling so loud my dog hid under the bed, and my wife not talking to me until I calmed down. I hate, and I mean absolutely hate it when a new program makes my system freak out. Corel should have done more beta testing. Don't waste your money.
