Hi there, will someone convince me that Corel Photopaint is much better than iGrafx Picture Publisher?
My friends (who are fanatics of photopaint) hate me because I currently use Corel Graphics Suite Version 11 for vector and Layouts but I still use the old Pic publisher 9 for general Raster edits because of speed and flexibility.
I intend to buy X3 suite later and I think it's about time I "used" photopaint but i'm still not that convinced.
So will someone please assure me that it's worth it ... and kick me in the butt because I'm so stubborn.
Thanks,
JKX
Whether or not you use PP you will benifit from upgrading to X3
I don't use PP myself and prefer to use Photoshop but that is only because I know how to do all the thing I need in PS and I am to lazy/busy/old to learn a new application.
I might make it my goal for this year to learn PP, along with Flash, Camtasia studio, Dreamweaver and riding miniramp
Go on, upgrade, you know you want to

I used to love Picture Publisher! I now use Photo-Paint simply because it interfaces with Draw and it gives me everything I need. If one or the other is any better? I don't really know, it has been some time since I used Picture Publisher.
I have done a little bit of research and it seems that the creators of Picture Publisher (which is iGrafx, used to be called Micrografx) is now a division of Corel. Yep, iGrafx Pic Publisher is Corel Photopaints' ancestor!
I just want to know if the X3 version of Photopaint can run rings around photoshop (because majority of Adobe users at my workplace are now Corel / PP9 converts).
Years ago Corel bought Micorgrafx, but the main reason where not Designer or Picture Publisher. Corel DRAW took over Designer clients, and Picture Publisher is resting in peace. Not one feature present in Picture Publisher where included into PhotoPaint, so there isn't relation between them.
Now that you mentioned it, the only feature similar in Picture Publisher and Photopaint is the "remove mask (ctrl+r) function" but asides from that I think you're right. Igrafx now is focused on business applications (but again, thats another story)
In your own opinion, what do you think would be the "best" feature of Photopaint?
