Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 review and giveaway ends Aug 28-winners posted soon


OK this will be the second section of giveaways for the awesome back to school extravaganza. The first 6 giveaways end on Aug 21st and they are great. Now comes the second group of giveaways that will ends Aug 28Th and trust me we got some great ones coming up for this one too. OK on to the first one!

Beginning a amateur photographer with a business I love programs that make editing easier and funner and batter. Well Corel has done it again! Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 is awesome! It is a lot like photoshop (which i can figure completely out) and so much easier then Photoshop! It takes your digital photos on your computer and turns them into a masterpiece. Any person who takes pictures can look like a pro. Now that is the best thing about this program.

There are so many different tools you can use. Honestly in 2 weeks of using it I have not got through all the different tools yet but it is my goals to try all of them! Some of my favorites so far are the Express lab so I can whiten teeth, remove blemish, sharpen fuzzy pictures, straighten the photo and more with just this one feature. I like clone tool so I can take annoying passerbys out of my pictures or ugly objects out. Other feature I absolutely love since I love creating collages and scrapbook pictures is you can take photos and create one of a kind collages with frames, photo affects, words and etc and you can add text bubbles to pictures and add objects. My kids even like making their own masterpieces it really is that easy. You can change the color of a object in your picture like say your kids is wearing a red shirt well you can change it to a white shirt which is so cool.

This is one of my favorite photo programs that I have and use on every photo shoot I do. I recommend it for anyone with pictures!

Company overview:

Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 has everything you need to create stunning photos.
