I have been a Paint Shop Pro user about 15 years. The last version I purchased was Version 8.0. I did not even know that Corel had purchased PSP until about four months ago. Today I needed some help so I called Corel and they informed me that they do not even support PSP 8 any longer and they did not have me registered and further they could not even issue a serial # because I purchased the product while it was still Jasc. He said that they were now using the equivicalent version Paint Shop Pro12.5 and that I could upgrade for $49.00. I asked how this version 12.5 compared but he said that he had never used PSP 8 so he could not address the issues! I need someone to tell me that has used PSP in the past and at least can tell me which product I would be upgrading to so I can see ome kind of descriiption of the product. Thank you!

From version 8 to X2 is a big jump, but you won't feel lost. Most of what you like is still there and even better. Newer features are definitely worth a $49 upgrade. Read more at www.corel.com or, better still, click the try button and do a trial -- nothing to lose there.
