Corel is a name that will be familiar to many amateur and professional photographers. PaintShop Pro as a piece of editing software has been around for nearly 30 years, having been initially released in the early 1990s under the now defunct Jasc Software. As a consumer product, many people's first experiences editing 'digital photographs' came with the software, as it was released in CD format and was ubiquitous during the mass PC buying boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Since then, the software has grown to include a nearly identical feature set to its main rival, the omnipresent Adobe Photoshop, which itself has gone on to change the course of digital art and photography forever.
