What is the difference are they the same product? I have Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3 box version purchased last year and you sent me an e-mail this year saying upgrade to Corel PaintShop Pro X4. I noticed it is missing the ( Photo ) bit from its name it looks the same product. I purchased it from your website anyway and now I seem to have two rather than a overwriting with a upgrade. I'm confused about the name.

@PigsyCyberBully Hi! We intentionally avoid overwriting the previous version of PaintShop when you install a new version. You can choose to have both X3 and X4 installed at the same time or you can uninstall X3 and stick with X4. X4 is completely compatible with your older PaintShop files.

does this have a RAW processor...I wanna compare it to LR4...

[CorelPaintShopPro]

@CRANKYONE100 PaintShop does support RAW processing and adjustments, but is primarily an image editing program. You may want to download a trial of AfterShot Pro which we just launched this year and is a photo workflow application more along the lines of Lightroom or Aperture. Free 30 day trials are available from corel.com

@SunfireGTX25 Actually Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 is $89 a lot of places I looked and VERY WELL worth it I must say.

@JDHeavysteel Using any vector based tools, like text, pen or preset shapes, will add new vector layers automatically. It's curious that you're getting unwanted layers being added when applying effects or moving layers. Would you be willing to help us investigate? If so, please email us at social.media@corel.com and mention "PaintShop Pro layers problem - YouTube" so we can flag it appropriately. Thanks!!

[JDHeavysteel]

@CorelPaintShopPro Thanks again. One more issue that is very annoying. The layers that are continually auto created. When I add text or simply adding an effect the program randomly creates new layers. I have to continually merge or delete layers that were not intended. I am a huge fan of working with the layers tools available, but there appears to be some rather non consistant glitch going on. Also if you attempt to move a layer, sometimes another layer is created.

@JDHeavysteel Thanks for the feedback! We'll forward your suggestions to the team.

Just got PSP X4 yesterday on sale for $39.99. What a "GREAT DEAL"! Thanks allot Corel! The new features are awesome. Adding the option to change workspace colors was a very good idea. The default dark was a strain on the eyes. Please add the abilty to lock the top toolbars. If you are not careful when dragging slider settings, you can undock your top toolbars accidentally. Also make the Recent Materials window default to open over the right dock space, not center screen as it is now. Thanks
