Corel PaintShop Pro X6 Ultimate
By Brian Jones
Corel has always been right on the heels of Adobe’s excellent Elements series of editing software. Paintshop Pro X6 Ultimate is surely closing the gap. On top of being easy to use and powerful, this iteration has a ton of new features to make it even more useful. Paintshop Pro X6 Ultimate has a long list of features that most photographers, serious or not, will find extremely useful on a regular basis. Some of the new features for this version are 64-bit performance, enhanced RAW format functionality, 3rd party plugins, and the powerful “Perfectly Clear” one touch editing tool. This is a fantastic example of what photo editing software should be without having to spend many hundreds of dollars on features that you’ll never touch or bother to even try learning. Corel Paintshop Pro X6 Ultimate is available for $79.99.
