I know that not everyone uses Corel products, but there is currently a GREAT deal on HumbleBundle where you can get PaintShop Pro, but also, other products for almost nothing. In fact, you can get PSP2023 (not the Ultimate version though) for under $2!!!
The full bundle can be purchased for under $40CA and it includes:
- CorelDRAW (worth $299)
- Painter (worth $429)
- PaintShop Pro (worth $79)
- VisionFX (an AI tool worth $79)
- VectorFX (another AI tool worth $129)
- A bunch of brushes mostly for Painter
And yes, despite the appearances, it is a legit site.
Check it out.
Ugh! Since my computer died, I had to purchase PSP 2023. I got Painter Essentials with it. But, wow...this deal is worth it. Too bad I missed out.
You didn't miss out. It is still good for another week at least. The Vision FX and Vector FX can be cool too.
Since I already have PSP2023, I just got the license, and might give it as a prize or a gift to someone.
Also, why did you have to purchase 2023 with your new computer? I still run old (very old) versions of PSP on my new computer.
My son gets stuff from humblebundle all the time. That's where he got me the Corel Painter 2020, Corel Painter & Paintshop Pro 2022. They often time run book bundles, game bundles, graphics/brushes bundles, ect. For the graphics/brushes I had him email them, to be sure my situation with CU4CU was ok with the graphics and they said yes. They are worth keeping an eye on. Thanks for sharing Carole!
I had to purchase 2023 because I lost 2021 when my old PC died. It was on the C drive. When I went to Corel's website and signed into my account, PSP 2021 wasn't listed to download, nor was it in my purchases. I talked with support and they were entirely unhelpful despite my having a registered license for 2021, which was in a Notepad file on my E drive. This time, I copied 2023 to my E drive. I never experienced this issue with Corel in the past when I got a new computer. It was very frustrating having support tell me there is nothing neither they nor I can do besides buy the latest version.
Too bad you didn't ask in the Campus. There are links to download many back versions, on the Corel site, as long as you have your license key. In fact, you can still install 2021 and it might help if you use any older plugins or if you encounter a specific bug running some scripts of mine. Here is where you can download the older versions (those are the trial versions so one still needs a license key to use them long term).
Unfortunately, Corel support is not great as the agent just don't have the necessary information!
Hello Carol,
that would be a way to get rid of my frustration with PSP 2023 Ultimate. Can I use other filters with the simple PSP offered? Then I could opt for the smaller bundle. Thank you for making the offer known.
Doska, if you use 2023, you probably won't be able to use older filters because they are mostly 32-bit, and 2023 is only 64-bit. However, if you can install 2021 or older, more filters will work.
