Paint Shop Pro > Main for Photo editing software used mostly by Photographers or photo enthusiast. let me add something from Levi's response. It also includes a basic photo-organizer and can do RAW and HDR photography. Again it has art media that simulates real life media like oils and such, not as good as Painter though, it also has absolute basic vector functionality, as well as image editing and it's pretty good at all of that. Paint Shop Pro is closest to just GIMP and Photoshop Elements as well as Paint and Paint.NET. The graphics suite is great for a lot, Photo Paint has been compared in functionality and power to Photoshop (not the same obviously but pretty good) and DRAW itself is very powerful for vectors and web creation. It can even trace images simulating having painted the images with paint. Painter simulates actual painting media, like oils and acrylics and pencils and chalk. Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro have some similarities in functionality to Painter but Painter is it's own thing. So it's like the Creative Suite from Adobe. The Premium suite includes Swish Max for creating flash animtion as well as Video Studio. The graphics suite also includes a power tracer to convert bitmaps to vectors. Photo Paint is actually bundled with Corel DRAW in the Graphics Suite.

Also Paint Shop Pro is like all of those as is Photo Paint (technically).ĭRAW is like Illustrator and Inkscape and Xara designer. Technically GIMP, MS Paint, and Photoshop are all alike each other.
