Anyone happen to know if Corel Paintshop pro X8 is an alternative to Photoshop? Something that could do the lions share of editing?

PSP is a very powerful editing program like Photo Shop. It has its own little things that are different, but it also as things that are the same. It is best that you download the trial version, and spend a week end or two playing with it.

Agreeing with Joves on this one. Although I've never tested out Corel, what most important in the software you use is your own comfort and ability to maneuver through the program. There's a lot of overlap – the best way to find what works best for you is through some trial and exploration. Downloading a temporary trial is a fantastic way of seeing if something works for you

Why yes Cary there are, and they do not cost you a monthly fee, nor are they an arm& a leg for stand alone versions. It costs under $100 for the Paintshop Pro Ultimate if memory serves me correctly.

I don't understand people that are willing to spend a good bit of money for gear to get the best possible image and then want to go cheap on post processing software. There is a reason the majority of the world uses LR and PS. Just my opinion.
