Hands down the best display for the image corrector. PSP X9 is application color managed which requires some thought before hand (what that means is that all images are converted to the applications color space) and if you shoot RAW just like, Photo-PAINT X8, PaintShop is best when teamed with AfterShot Pro 3.Ĭorel Photo-PAINT X8 is not as diverse as PSP X9 in it's tool set but has more sophisticated masking and node editing, it is also document color managed, (what that means is that Photo-PAINT can have multiple documents open with different color spaces) it supports all color models, RGB,CMYK, Grayscale and N Color (spot colors).

I feel the masking tools are not as well developed as Photo-PAINT but that might just be because I'm better with PP tools. It supports layers and PSD format however drop shadows from PS so not translate into PSD but do into CorelDRAW.

If what you're doing is going to stay in the RGB world you have everything you need. In basic terms PSP X9 is a photographers program with lots of filters and effects, while some would say it's an amateurs program I don't believe it.
