The display of Adobe image editors I believe has lead to many seriously over sharpened images, causing them to be ruined before we get them. The direction Adobe has taken with their image editors has lead to us receiving at our shop a image content dominated by of low quality images from professionals. The best images start with a great shot.Īll other aspects of the trade is art with image editors, not a bad thing but not photography. IMO putting PHOTOGRAPHY back into the main focus. I believe all photography shows or competitions should have an AS SHOT category using JPG or TIF files directly from the camera. Photography is the art of the capture, learning the camera and managing the local conditions, making the shot. Waltm40 let me add this Photo-PAINT X8 adds true LAB color mode conversion that is a must have tool for your tool box for the serious corrector.Īlso this is just my opinion but using these applications is not photography. If you're doing professional image editing and photography for print or web distribution then all you need is AfterShot Pro 3, PaintShop Pro X9 and the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8, which includes Photo-PAINTX8. If your work will go to print then you must have Photo-PAINT X8, also having PaintShop Pro X9 will augment your tool set but PP X8 has state of the art color, color management and the best display for those who have to worry about morie of any image editor available. If what you do is RGB or Grayscale work PaintShop Pro X9 is very good, having Corel Photo-PAINT X8 will augment your workflow. Hands down the best display for the image corrector. PSP X9 is application color managed which requires some thought before hand (what that means is that all images are converted to the applications color space) and if you shoot RAW just like, Photo-PAINT X8, PaintShop is best when teamed with AfterShot Pro 3.Ĭorel Photo-PAINT X8 is not as diverse as PSP X9 in it's tool set but has more sophisticated masking and node editing, it is also document color managed, (what that means is that Photo-PAINT can have multiple documents open with different color spaces) it supports all color models, RGB,CMYK, Grayscale and N Color (spot colors). I feel the masking tools are not as well developed as Photo-PAINT but that might just be because I'm better with PP tools.
It supports layers and PSD format however drop shadows from PS so not translate into PSD but do into CorelDRAW. If what you're doing is going to stay in the RGB world you have everything you need. In basic terms PSP X9 is a photographers program with lots of filters and effects, while some would say it's an amateurs program I don't believe it.
