I’m using the free 30-day trial version, hence the ‘Purchase’ button on the toolbar, but it’s not restricted in any way. PaintShop Pro 2023 can be used in Simplified and Photography modes, but I’m reviewing the Complete mode which makes all the tools available. The PaintShop Pro 2023 workflow PaintShop Pro 2023 tries to simplify things with ‘Photography’ and ‘Essentials’ workspaces, but for the real tools you need the ‘Complete’ mode.

The Ultimate edition sounds great value, then, but it includes a lot of stuff you might not want or need which comes with its own separate installers.įor this review, I’m just looking at PaintShop Pro 2023 itself, to see how it stacks up in today’s photo editing market and who it might be aimed at. The standard edition costs £69.99/$79.99 and the Ultimate bundle above adds just £20/$20, taking the price up to £89.99/$99.99. These extras include MultiCam Capture 2.0 Lite, which is a kind of video creation tool (I haven’t tried it), 50 free fonts, Painter Essentials 8 (a cut-down but still useful version of the full Painter package), PhotoMirage Express for animating still images (it’s a bit of fun), a Highlight Reel for automated slideshow and movie creation, a Sea to Sky workspace for enhancing aerial or underwater shots, and a Corel Creative Collection containing brushes, textures and over 100 royalty free backgrounds. PaintShop Pro 2023 Ultimate is actually the same as the regular PaintShop Pro 2023, but bundled with a whole lot more extras, in true Corel style. PaintShop Pro is one of the longest running photo editors for Windows users, starting life years ago as a shareware tool and then evolving first with JASC software and now Corel, into a broad-based image editing suite.

Is it worth upgrading to PaintShop Pro 2023?.
