I would think with at great photo editor like PhotoPaint there would be more 'Photo' chatter.

Hi again Rikk,
Hope all is well.
As a contribute to you and other in here I made a quick thing with an old photo. Have a look here http://community.coreldraw.com/forums/t/21297.aspx
Hi Phil,
I've started digging into PP today by sussing our it's object / layer gallery, and am very impressed so far. I have a sneaky feeling this program is going to be more advanced than PSP X3. Not knowing anything about PP, I thought I'd open a PSD file (unsure if it would), and although no thumbnail image was displayed, it opened the file with all its layers in tact. What impressed me though was as I drifted my mouse down over the different layer styles, my photo would dynamically change to that style in real time. I was able to quickly run through all the layer styles seeing what ones looked good. In X3, you can't do this. You have to select, then apply the layer style to see its effect. PP makes this selection process lightning quick compared to X3. Even the slections tool had more options than X3 I noticed.
One thing I don't get though: if layers and objects are the same thing, then why not just stick to the one term Why have two different words for the same thing? I don't get Corel or the graphics community on this. I know the photographic world is used to knowing what layers are, so why not carry this through into Vector programs as well. The whole "object" thing was starting to throw me a little. Not now though.
I'll keep playing. Cheers.
Yep.; This is definately more advanced than X3. Rather, this is a lot more directly comparable to Photoshop. This was certainly money worth spent when you compare it to Photoshop and Illustrator. I've just been playing with the Duotone feature which X3 doesn't have. Rikk was right about the these two programs catering to two different markets.
Guys, a quick question in converting 48bit color to 24bit.
By converting my PSD files in PP from 48bit to 24bit color (so PSP X3 can read them, and another plus for PP that it can read 48bit), how much quiality am I really losing? Visually, I can't see any difference but I don't really know. I thought I'd ask the question.
Cheers.
