Ah, yeah I see what you mean. Sadly you have to switch back and forth. Of course if you know what photos you want you can still create media trays that you can view inside the editor with the media tray palette.

It's not perfect but it is an option.

And it shouldn't be too slow changing between the editor and the organizer. A little inconvenient maybe but not bad.

you can start psp into the full editor. You can configure this at the preferences window.

Oh yeah. I was thankful for that. It was also the first adjustment I made to the layout program before beginning my testing. :D I don't hate the organizer but I have no use for it.

Agreed....first thing I did, but don't see it as an "improvement" in the older system. I have two screens and had the ed open in one with the organizer open (with various palettes and my own tool bars) in the other.

Upgrade Pricing

Post by dfyffe »

I just upgraded to X2 Ultimate about two weeks ago. I saw somewhere here where it was stated that one could then get either a free upgrade to X3 or get it for 19.99. I''d be happy with either. However, Corel's site wants me to pay 59.99. Can anyone tell me how to get the cheap or free upgrade? Thanks.

I got an email with a link to get the $19.99 special.

It is toooooooo long so I created a TinyURL link:

http://tinyurl.com/PSPX3Upgrade

Note, this was for US$ - If you want Canadian, I can set one up for it, since they included both links in the email.

Thanks for that link. They emailed me and told me I have to call them. I'll see what they say and post it here later. Thanks again

What a waste of time. Almost a half hour on the phone with no human contact. I could end wait no longer as my lunch time was over. Is Corel that bad of a company?

I responded to their e-mail that was sent to me. However, it rejected on me. Came back undelivreable. So I signed on to their site and updated my question. I feel this is the worst helpline I have ever dealt with. Can anyone confirm or deny this? With a program so nice as PSP, how can the service be this bad?

Customer Service has been mixed for me. Twice I've gotten an actual person with minimal wait time. And twice I've gotten no one.

It could be the result of having the new products come out only a week ago. Lots of questions and callers. Then again they could be bad. :D I don't presume to know.

I have not tried to call them, but I find sending them a technical support e-mail kind of frustrating. But I found a lot of companies have pretty limited tech support.

I just used zforray's link right from his post and I went right to pay the 19.99. It said it was a special good until February 7. So, I thank you for the post. I was seconds from calling to ask why I did not get anything on its release with a discount. I still did not get anything. But, I am very happy you posted. So, many, many thanks. It was better deal than I would have expected.


For those of you wondering, just click on the link and you should not have a problem. I used it a few hours ago.

:idea:

If I am entitled to a free upgrade because I am within my 90 day upgrade period, shouldn't I get it free? Also, I have updated my question to them twiceand they will not respond. I am very disappointed with their support I must say.
