The main reasons I use Paint Shop Pro are the availability of high-quality brushes that mimic the look of the real thing - but at a fraction of the cost.
Elements has a photo-manipulation tool, an image-trimming tool, and a few other image-retouching tools.Įlements is a great choice for advanced photographers who want to use the program to polish off images that they take with their camera or scanned images captured by their scanner. Photoshop is my first choice when I need to edit images, but I can access the same tools in other programs - including the only other professional-quality image manipulation tool, Corel Paint Shop Pro X2. In addition, you can select multiple layers and change the way they look. Live Paint enables users to change the color of existing objects, move, and rotate as they paint over them. Live Paint is included in the newest versions of Photoshop and is still a viable tool for creating designs, as its name suggests.
