Corel Paint Shop Pro

Corel Paint Shop Pro - upgrade from versin 10 to version 11 is £51

In the USA it is $54

so why, when the product and support is all sold and supplied in the USA do we not pay like for like prices?

it gets funnier. I went to buy the full version of PSP and it took me to the states, was $78 or so.
UK Price from Corel is over £80!

And that's for the download only version; told them to get bent and brought it from Amazon's marketplace for £30ish

Result = one happy inlaw.

If I can be bothered to (I do like some features over CS2) I might go and pay in Canadian Dollars as it doesnt seem to stop me.

That works out at about 20p for the full upgrade

I have a Dell which came with the trial version of Paint Shop Pro which has now expired. I too looked at buying the full licenced version at $60 but when I looked at the UK price it was £60 !!

Is there anything to stop me buying from the USA at $60. Am I correct in thinking I just need the product licence key to reactivate the trial version?

Cheers

Holy resurected thread batman! Yes Corel are stiffing us. I never bothered with teh upgrade, I only use CS2 these days which is a shame as PSP has some great features. Its just tehy really are working a number on us.

I got stung by buying the product on a "reduced" price only for them to anounce and release the new version a month later

Paint .NET is an excellent, free paint package. Has most of the features you'll find in PhotoShop/PSP.

As if Adobe are any different with photoshop (or any of their products for that matter)? US price $649, UK price £569 ($1,154)

Unfortunately it's not even close - no dodge/burn, no feather selection, and a pile of other features I use all the time. Which is a shame as it's an awesome package in so many ways.
