A range of graphic editors from the Canadianthe company "Korel" from the very beginning has firmly established itself in the market of the corresponding software. In one set from "Korel" contains not one, but four programs for working with images - Corel Draw, Corel R.A.V.E., Corel Trace and Corel Photo Paint. If the first three editors are mainly needed for more or less experienced artists, the latter is indispensable for fans of easy and uncomplicated processing of photographs and drawings.
However, it costs the user only to sendsearch query, in response, he is offered more than two dozen names of old and new Korel products, starting with Corel Graphics Suite 1.x and ending with the latest version of the software - X7, as well as the improved photo editor Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo. How do they differ and how to choose the right program?
Adobe Photoshop for raster processinggraphics has become very popular with users around the world. In Russian, the noun "Photoshop" and the verb "Photoshop" have become synonymous with editing photos and drawings. Nevertheless, despite such success "in words", Photoshop often turns out to be too tough for beginners - in a complicated interface of the editor it is sometimes very difficult to find the desired function.
The product of the company "Korel" is much clearerintuitively - to deal with it without difficulty turns out even in children and adolescents. Also a very important plus in the convenience of using Corel Photo Paint is the ability to adjust the size of the brush while holding down the Shift key, as well as some other similar combinations that simplify the work in the editor. Adobe Photoshop, for all its merits, does not offer the user anything like that.
In Corel Photo Paint there is a set of filters and tools that are not in any photo editor, similar in popularity. Among them we can especially distinguish:
Also in the photo editor from "Korel" there is always a large selection of texture filters - an image in two clicks is transferred to the surface, for example, a brick wall, cobblestones or elephant leather.
Photo Editor Corel Photo Paint is not possibleto purchase separately - the program is part of the Corel Graphics Suite. However, not long ago, at the request of users who, apart from Photo Paint, did not need any programs from the set, the makers of the line brought out a new product - Corel Paint Shop Photo. A separate program Paint Shop is somewhat wider in its functionality - in addition to image processing, the user can share them without closing the editor window, which allows the built-in synchronization function with social networks. The interface is still intuitive, so it will suit both an experienced user and a beginner.
The weakest place of representatives of the Corel linePhoto Paint - work with layers. Both in the initial versions, and in the latest releases, such as Corel Photo Paint X6, a similar function is called Objects, but the variety of interactions with "objects" is rather poor. Nevertheless, the bulk of users of photo editors from "Korel" does not feel the need for a complex photomontage. Most professionals still use Adobe Photoshop for photo editing, leaving beginners and amateurs able to easily and easily process images using an intuitive editor.
