While many bloggers use the more advanced (and equally expensive) Adobe Photoshop, we prefer the graphic editor PaintShop Pro from Corel Corporation. PaintShop Pro has continued to improve over the years since it was originally created by JASC. We have regularly upgraded to the latest version when we saw the value. We now use PaintShop Pro 2023 Ultimate.
We use PaintShop Pro to:
- Retouch images to improve image quality
- Add layers to images for social media usage
- Batch process images to add or adjust file property information
- Run the optimizer to improve the file size.
