Corel acquired PSP from Jasc Software and quickly released PSP X. Luckily,
the rush to market prevented Corel from completely ruining things, but they did
manage to come close with the release of PSP XI, which was buggy and attempted
too many UI "improvements" at the expense of functionality.
Photoshop, I hate to admit, is now a superior program overall but is still
clunkier to use, rougher on system resources, and highly overrated by its
adherents. Moreover, some PSP X image processing functions are better than
Photoshop - among them, resizing and noise reduction. Sadly, there aren't many
choices when it comes to image editors that offer good photo processing, layers,
and vector graphics.
