Adobe Photoshop Or Corel Photo Paint, Which One Is Better?

i teach and lecture graphics and i can tell you as a pro that adobe photoshop has features that will excite you more than photo paint, but i will advice beginners to start with photopaint from the corel family, then graduate to photoshop

The thing is that photoshop or whatever you guys call it is good for image thing and those cool buttons for the web,  well you can apparently do what ever photoshop graphic does expecially when i do some graphics on fireworks or Corel draw, i just take them to photoshop for clearity sort of. Photoshop is pretty good when doing some image manupulation, image clearity, icons. with fireworks you can do some pretty icons but the clearity woun't be superb. you can easily create those good icons on photoshop and export to other graphic software and while corel is very good branding your company logo.

When creating things like this, i will urge you to open those graphic packages and try doing somethings on it and exporting it will make alot better.

OO COME ON! i can't believe there are people out there making the comparison photo paint is a complimentary package of corel draw nothing more. photoshop is far away in la la land and doesn't know that photo paint exists. to be honest we u photoshop is way to advanced and "powerfull" to be matched with, with, infact u people should take time, take time

From what I've heard Photoshop is better than Photopaint.  I think it is true as of today.  But we cannot say that is always true.  The two competitive software has its own forte.  Photopaint is easier to learn than Photoshop but if you learn Photoshop by heart you will definitely used to it someday.  If you are certain that you will use this talent as a profession not by hobby only, then go for Photoshop.  Why learned the hard way if you have Photopaint which can simplify your work.  I rated Photoshop as 100% and Photopaint as 95%, now which do you prefer?  It is like choosing between Mac or Windows OS. 
Photoshop is expensive than Photopaint.
If you know Photoshop it is an advantage in learning Illustrator, After Effects, Adobe Premiere and other CS.
Why not learned the two if you can?

Before you compare software, you should ask yourself what task they would be performing. By the way Corel photopaint has a workspace that simulates that of Adobe photoshop if you are a core photoshop user.

I use and Teach both Adobe Photoshop and Corel Photo Paint, Let me tell you something, if u are lookin for an avenue to xplore what u have upstairs, Adobe Photoshop is the best, you can export Adobe Photoshop layers into Illustrator and After Effects, you can also edit and add more effects to picutres, imagine you reducing the size of someone's cheek and reducing the size of someone's nose, Photoshop has more Effects and you can also bring in third party application into photoshop. But corel photo paint has some limited things it can do, and you can't achieve more with it, is like you with Adobe fireworks, where anything you click on, a layer will be created for you automatically, which makes the corel photopaint more childish and not professional to you. for more info about Adobe Photoshop call: 08032349612

I use both,
but I prefare Adobe photoshop,
cause it gives a sharp touch to your pics.
its tools are very effective for photo treatment.
I love using the patch tool, it gives the exact reasamblers of the lost original.
