Paintshop Pro promises some of the most advanced features without having to shell out for other editing suites with higher pricetags.ĭigital photo editing is also made easy with rotating, applying effects, touch-ups and more. Paintshop Pro is one of the easiest and most flexible and affordable image editing suites. Some of the pros of npp for me: spell check, handles utf-8 well (important even in English if you care about proper typography), it reopens with all the documents you had open (at least in windows 8+), Emmet plugin, Explorer file browser plugin (though it makes it look even less elegant), multiple file find/replace (Regex makes it more powerful though I find that very nonintuitive and you should backup files when doing a wildcard replace across files), file Compare plugin.Advertisement Packed with many options, this app can automatically adjust photograph parameters, apply multiple effects, view EXIF data. Adding Emmet makes it like Sublime-you can use a similar color scheme (though npp will always seem more bulky). It does a lot so it has a bit of a learning curve. I resisted Notepad++ at first, but now I'm using Grunt and npp is my editor. I tried Corel PaintShop Pro X2 and hated it (though someone else here likes X6 so maybe it improved).

I went from psp5 to 8 and didn't go back once I got used to it. I still use psp8 on windows 10 with no problems (occasionally crashes).
