Corel PaintShop Pro 2023 review: low-cost Photoshop alternative
Summary
Corel PaintShop Pro is a comprehensive image-editing program that offers the vast majority of the features its rivals do, notably Adobe Photoshop. Some of the AI tools do an excellent job of masking images or reducing noise; they just dont seem as precise and intelligent as Adobe offerings. All the standard photo-editing sliders youd expect to find are here: Brightness and Contrast, White Balance, Sharpening, Fill Light, and Clarity. When nearly all premium smartphones have Portrait Modes that use depth effects and very simple settings to increase or decrease the strength, I dont think Paintshop Pro does any better, especially considering the effort involved. The result from PaintShop Pro 2023 was a good starting point but would require some work to make it match Photoshop or Topaz AI.
