when you destroy my beloved Paint Shop Pro
In my opinion Corel have been hanging on for years. It's way past time they realised their products are awful.
@Mr. Fatuous
I went back to Paint Shop Pro 7 after using there newer versions.
I still have Paint Shop Pro v6.01 running on Win 7. Pre-Corel it was a great lightweight alternative to Photoshop.
I sold all my Corel stock years ago. About the only company better than Corel at failing to market and sell their software is Novell. I guess this answers the question: "Does anybody still buy Corel software?"
This is what happens when you sell crap like Corel Draw.
"This is what happens...when you destroy my beloved Paint Shop Pro"
They've destroyed it? I had no idea, I'm still waiting for it to load up...
Does anyone see Corel ever coming out with some useful software ?
What news on Paint Shop Pro?
Corel started strong but has been slipping for decades. Anybody know why they've stumbled?
God uses it ...
but why s/he let that lazy bunch of reta**ds run the company is a mystery to me.
Going the way of Nortel, eh?
Actually, back when Windows 98 was hot, WordPerfect Suite 8 came with Curry's cheapest PC (which was the one my dad had to buy, naturally) and I quite liked it compared to the MS Office of the day, which was also much more expensive. Unfortunately Excel is not exactly compatible with Quattro Pro from WPS 8, so Dad still needs it for some of his spreadsheets. Despite initially liking WPS8, since I discovered the WindowsKey+E shortcut I have cursed Corel for hijacking it and throwing up its own crappy dialog box which defaults to Corel's own My Files folder, not even My Documents.
Tombstone for Corel, not the Reg.
Back in the heyday of the "PC Revolution", Corel Draw was considered a better product than even Adobe's offerings. Times have changed.
Proprietary software is under siege. With each passing year, the marginal products of mid-tier development houses are falling by the wayside. Top-tier houses are quaking in their boots; ask not for whom the bell tolls ...
Good riddance. The backward Dinosaurs of IT yesteryear have no place here. Paint Shop Pro could have been a product to ding them out of this hole, but alas, its now crap. Paint.net anyone?
Corel Draw is hugely superior to Adobe Illustrator for creating vector artwork in which you know what is actually in the graphic (as distinct from what it looks like in flatland) and with files of reasonable size (as distinct from the bloated monsters that Adobe software creates). Can anyone tell me what feature(s) in Adobe Illustrator achieve the same function as Corel's Object Manager?
Okay, for many years Corel's motto should have been "Never mind the quality, feel the width" and it is full of mysterious bugs, but it still outperforms everything else I know at its price.
