Comment on Introducing the SERIES 7 CHRONOS by globalman.
Why does an 18 month old Macbook Pro battery DIE???? They have acknowledged it is defective on the telephone but won’t replace it at no cost. Told me it would be UNFAIR to warranty holders within the 1 year time. WHAT THE HELL IS FAIR ABOUT SELLING A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND NOT HONOURING AND TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. FIRST MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT WITH APPLE! Not feeling very friendly toward Apple or america today. I agree with you 100%… Apple is now showing that Ugly American Face.

Corel PaintShop Pro X4 Ultimate
Great software, Great Price!,
If you’re an avid PaintShop Pro user of previous versions, you may want to know before hand that it has completely changed. If you decide to buy the new version, just make sure you have the correct mind set for these new changes…If you’re not a person for change, then you may want to hold off for a bit. Me on the other hand, these new changes were something different for me, but in no time I adjusted to them quite fast. The new changes are noticeable to point out, and you will soon realize how beneficial and great these features are. Here are a few of the changes in the new version…
NEW Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0–includes over 250 effects and styles, along with 30+ emulated film types in 52 easy-to-use filters
NEW Custom photo book–showcase your best work
NEW Images from Fotolia–download your 21 royalty-free, high-resolution photos from this incredible image bank of photos and illustrations
NEW Picture Tubes–get a selection of Picture Tubes from our extensive collection
NEW HDR module–merge photos with different exposures to create incredible images
NEW Photo Blend–combine photos of the same scene to include the best details and remove unwanted elements
NEW Selective Focus–mimic the effect of expensive tilt-shift lenses and turn a scene into a miniature world
NEW Interface–Complete re-design of the interface has been implemented. Built for ease of use
NEW Windows 7 Integration–Now includes taskbar previews of your layered projects.
**You can also go to the Corel site, just so you know a bit more about What’s New!**
The only thing I did not like, is the integration with the Windows 7 taskbar previews while dealing in layers, as far as I know…You cannot turn this off. It is a minor setback, and can be dealt with.
Overall, this is a very positive change from Corel, and I like where the PaintShop series is heading….Which is indeed headed in the right direction so far. This is a professional package, for an affordable price. I definitely choose this over Photoshop any day, just because of the price and features of the product. I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes to edit or create certain image projects who are on a budget, but can still achieve professional results. Get your hands on this, it will definitely be helpful if you need it. Like I said, it is headed in the right direction…From here on out….This product will only get better and better.
*UPDATE 09/14/2011*
I have been tinkering around some more, and would like to point out a couple of menu options that have been changed in this new version.
When doing a mirror effect (Ctrl M) in previous versions, you would go to Image, Mirror to do so. In the new version, they have renamed it to Image, Flip Horizontal. I just wanted to point this out, just in case people got confused.
For those of you who like the old classic look and would like to change it, and not use the Graphite/Darker theme…I am sorry to say, I am almost positive you can not change this anymore. For me on the other hand, I think the Graphite/Darker look is more easy on the eyes and more appealing.
About a third party plugin:
If you use Filters Unlimited Plugin, some images require you to open using a non transparent background when editing. If you run into problems while using this plugin, just make sure to Open with the Transparent box unchecked…You’ll know what I mean if you run into problems. That is of course if you utilize this third party plugin.
