What features of Photoshop are supported by Paint Shop Pro?

[thecorelmonk]

I use Photoshop for editing images for my professional use. My license is about expire in the next month, when i tried to upgrade i came to know that they require a monthly subscription fees. When i searched the web for best Photoshop alternatives , i came to know that Corel PaintShop Pro X6 and Corel PHOTO-PAINT can be used as photoshop alternatives.Before buying any of these, i would like to know exactly what all features of Photoshop are supported by these products.

Above are some of the articles that i found on the web. But none of them exactly says the advantage of using corel products over photoshop. Please help me.

thank you in advance.

Probably a better question is to state what features of Photoshop you use most often and ask if they or work arounds are available in Paint Shop Pro.
Photoshop is a massive program that does a lot of stuff that many people do not need or use. Some people just need a basic mode of transport to get them to the shops, others need a vehicle that will get them across continent on a variety of roads, and still others need all the features of a heavy off road vehicle. What features do you need?
Also I guess another question is their another equivalent alternative?

Agree with previous post. You can download a fully functional (for 30 days) free trial. Check it out.

Corel does offer a free trial. Your best bet is to download a trial and see if it meets your needs. If you run across something you don't know how to do in PSP just ask and I'm sure one of us will be able to help you.
