What do you like in PSP 2018?

Larger icons makes PSP so much easier to use on my tablet.

Now we just need the tool option palette to be more tablet/touch screen friendly.

Hi,
For the couple of hours or so that I used it, it looked like it might be an excellent and worthy replacement for PS. However, I had to quit using it and get a refund from Corel, because a crucial part of the editing program, namely the 'clone brush', doesn't work with 'gray-scale' images (and was not real good with color either). I do a lot of B&W film shooting and restorations and without the 'clone' tool the program is practically useless to me.
When I contacted Corel about the issue the tech told me they already know about the problem and they MAY OR MAY NOT remedy it in a future update or release! Not very reassuring, to say the least.
Anyway, I hope the problem IS fixed, because, as I say, I liked what I did see.
(I know the thread is what I LIKE about PSP 2018, hope this is in keeping with that)
Thanks
MickG

I just got it today and used it on a small project. So far, so good. I was so excited to see this new version. I had not idea it existed. I thought PSP 9 was about the end of the road for this program. I've used it for over a decade, so this is great!
I was able to figure out the interface pretty quickly and it seems that the tool and effect files, etc. from PSP 9 are compatible. I like the way the text tool works in this version. I'm excited to see what's new as I go along here!

Most of it's good but I just HATE the new crop tool. I hate the way it can be dragged outside the edge of the image and doesn't snap back to the edge like the earlier ones did; I hate the way the window adds space around the image. I'm sure you are going to say there is some sort of setting for that, and I know if I had the time I could learn its new ways and might even grow to like it, but for now I am tempted to go back to X9 just because I am used to its methods. I dread each time I need to crop something.

What I like about PSP 2018. I used the original Paint Shop before there was a PSP. I transferred over from PS 3 to PSP 1. Still have PSP7 installed (a JASC pre-X build). Mostly I use PSP 2018 these days. I shoot in RAW, use Silkypix to output TIF files, which I pick up with PSP to make JPG's.

I like the Help site. Being a website the Corel folks can update it quicker than JASC ever updated their Help files. I learned tonight that I can deform an image by pressing the Shift key. Wonderful. And there are more distortions available by holding down shift-CTRL. Left-clicking will allow me to widen and make an image taller and there is a handle for rotating. So it's all there! Thanks, Corel dudes.

I'm absolutely THRILLED that the crop tool no longer forces you to zoom out to see the whole image. That was my biggest complaint with the earlier version. I'm currently on trial mode, but for this reason alone, I'm considering buying.
