Acquisition is Good News - (NOT!)

Count me among the loyal Paint Shop Pro fans who've kept track of its evolvement from version 1, 13 years ago, to version 9 today. I believe it was the "philosophy" behind the product that made it as successful as it has become. Under the wings of Corel, I believe the philosophy will change and the future releases of Paint Shop Pro will no long follow that path of previous versions. Undoubtedly, version 10 of Paint Shop Pro will be a litmus test of future versions to come and I'm witholding the full verdict of my convictions until I get my hands on Corel's release of version 10. If current management at Corel has any inkling of "smarts" they'll leave the folks in Eden Prarie alone to continue PSP development unabated. Paint Shop Pro succeeded in areas Adobe Photo Shop couldn't. Low cost, low learning curve, unencumbered by features the majority of everyday users would never use. My fingers are crossed that PSP will remain a stellar product, but I've purchased a copy of Adobe Photo Shop Elements 3 just in case.
