What irritates me about Corel's line of photo editing software is that they seem to cause total confusion in what they have on offer because they have bought up several of their minor competitors and marketed them as their own product in competition with their own brands.
I have used Corel Photo-paint since about version 3 and always found it to be an excellent product, an equal to Photoshop.
You used to be able to buy photo-paint as a separate app, or as part of the Corel Draw bundle. Then, after about version 11, they bought up Paint Shop Pro, which was what everyone used to use as their "free" photo-editing software.
This then confused rhings because they then were marketing Corel photo-paint X2, X3, X4 (whatever) and also Paint Shop Pro X2. Then it seems you coul only get Corel Photo-Paint by buying a Corel Draw bundle, and PSP X2 becomes the default photo-editor.
Then we have Photoimpact, which I remember as used to be sold by another Corel competitor, yet they are now selling it as a Corel product in competition to their own alternatives - I don't get it - what are they doing?
