I've been using Corel PhotoPaint 8, and find that I can do nearly anything I have wanted to do (so far). I do find masks hard to work with when the borders are critical. It also comes with a good assortment of plug-ins.
The main things I work on with image-editing software concern color, contrast, saturation, backgrounds, sharpening, gaussian blur, correcting dust/scratches, repainting damaged areas, and masks. PhotoPaint seems to do all of those fairly well, except mask edges. My questions are to those who have used both: Is Photoshop worth the much greater cost? Can it do mask edges more easily? And does it come with the same range of included plug-ins (or do you have to buy those separately)? Thanks for the advice, Joe - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
