As someone, who has used Paint Shop Pro, while I was in school, it was nice to find a comparable product for much less cost. I have to do basic graphics and image editing, in order for me to do product showcases and reviews. I do not have the volume or extensive need for a complete image suite for the big guys (Adobe, Corel), so I cannot justify the cost of purchasing a subscription and/or expensive SKU for this purpose. Twisted Brush Studio does what I need it to do. In fact. my wife is an artist, and I know that she uses certain tools and product features to augment her digital workflow. Five stars!
