Thank you for Corel to partner up with me, in order to provide you with a coupon code for PaintShop Pro X8.
Every now and then I get asked, which photo-editing software I am using. I have several different ones and always like to try out new things, even though I only edit my photos when needed, sometimes it’s just fun to play around.

Things I expect from a good photo editor
Most of all, it should be easy to use. I know there are programs out there that are so complicated, you need to take classes but I really don’t have the patience for that. If I edit pictures, the program needs to be foolproof.
It needs creative effects. I know that is not, what photography is about but we all have those moments, where we just want to play. Most likely you will not find those kind of photos here on my blog but rather on a birthday card or similar.

It should not break the bank. I would rather spend a lot of money for my camera, lenses and equipment (Even though, that is not a must – it is not about the camera but about the photographer who can see things, others might miss.) but the editing software should not take up too much of my budget.
What can you do with PaintShop Pro X8?
My favorite tools are actually the simple ones, such as brightness, contrast, saturation etc. I just want to bring out the beauty of the motive without altering it to where it would look unnatural. Other than that, PaintShop Pro leaves nothing to be desired, you can add several photo effects and even create layers. I know PhotoShop also does that but I just never figured out, how all of that worked. Without exaggeration, PaintShop is way easier to use and therefore definitely a PhotoShop alternative. Also with less than $100 you really can’t go wrong with it.
