I just noticed that Amazon.com is offering Corel Paint Shop Pro 9 while supplies last for as little as $19.99! Paint Shop Pro is a great photo editing tool for people who don’t need all the complexity of Adobe Photoshop Elements, but who still want to do things like:
- fill flash filter correction
- digital camera image noise removal
- anti-aliased text addition
I use Paint Shop Pro to do quick image editing nearly every day. From what I hear about Version 9, you need a fast computer with plenty of memory and a large screen to take best advantage of the photo editing features, but it’s hard to beat the price.
To get the $19.99 price, you need to apply for a rebate, but even if you don’t, you get Paint Shop Pro at 50-percent off the list price.
Why such a great deal? Corel’s going upscale with Corel Paint Shop Pro X, the new version which was released last month. The list price of Paint Shop Pro X is $129.99, it’s on sale for $99.99, but you can get it for as little as $69.99 after rebate.
