What is Coral? Never heard of that program before.Ĭoral "Paint Shop Pro".for all intensive purposes, it does much the same thing as Photoshop does. If nothing else, for the money it's well worth poking around at a bit. Now with all that said, if one of your concerns is "Is it worth it?", have you tried Gimp yet? If not and your just doing image editing, you may wish to check it out.it's FREE and it's actually a pretty decent program. Personally I find the tablets rather annoying myself.about the ONLY thing I really use them for is doing "hair" in a vector program like Adobe Illustrator.but again I grew up doing graphics with a mouse, so that's what's comfortable for me. In fact I've known 1 or 2 artists that just ditched their mouses and use their tablets for everything from browsing the internet to playing solitaire.

At the end of the day, the difference between PS and Coral is much like the difference between a PC and a mac.both essentially do the same thing, but some folks prefer one, some get conned into using the other (LOL).Īs far as "pen enabled", I assume you're talking about a graphics tablet (like a Wacom)? If I'm not too terribly mistaken (and someone please correct me if I am), those tend to work with just about any graphics program because essentially it replaces your mouse.more or less does the same thing as a mouse, just does it in a different way. Both programs ARE worth the money and I believe both offer demos (or "light" versions) so you can compare.
Likewise, while I don't know for sure about Coral, if you're looking for "photo effects", there are TONS of various filters and plugins available for Photoshop.some pretty wild stuff out there really.
Photoshop is, arguably, the "industry standard" for image editing and personally I find it easier to use than Coral (but then I grew up with Photoshop.didn't get into Coral until much later when I went back to college again). It should do what you want as far as image editing, but personally I would lean towards Adobe Photoshop myself. Coral is a good program.I've used it many times, but personally I find it a bit more appropriate for a production environment (like laser etching and such).

This is JUST my own personal opinion, but which image editing software you use, tends to depend on WHAT you are doing ("the right tool for the right job" and such). Any feedback on this software? Is it pen enabled? Is it worth the moolah? I'm looking for unique collage and photo effects.
