FreeOS.com: Review: Corel Photo-Paint 9 for Linux

[ Thanks to Mayank
for this link. ]

“Corel Photo-Paint is the well known image creation and photo
editing application. This great Windows application recently made
the jump to Linux version and is available as a free download. Does
it match up to Photo-Paint for Windows? Or should Linux users stick
with GIMP?”

“Corel Photo-Paint needs no introduction. Photo-Paint has been
competing with Adobe Photoshop for some time now. While Photo-Paint
has always been a very capable program, but, it hasn’t quite been
able to match the popularity of Photoshop. Its image creation and
manipulation fetaures are very strong. So it was good news when
Corel decided to the latest release, Photo-Paint 9, to the Linux
community as a free download….”

“How does Photo-Paint compare to GIMP. Well GIMP is a lot
lighter and faster and can do just about everything that
Photo-Paint does. Photo-Paint is a very impressive application and
it’s very feature rich but they really should have gone beyond the
Wine route. I would really have liked to give Corel a much higher
score here but the user interface issues really need to be
fixed.”
