PSP's colors/materials/textures palette is far more intuitive than the one in PS. Its customizability is still pitiful compared to PSP's approach - “move any button anywhere”, “set any shortcut to anything”. Photoshop still lacks something as practical as a warp brush. In contrast, JASC's genius and dedication were so great that now 6 years in their absence, PSP is still ahead of Photoshop in some areas. There are two startup services that run even if you're not using PSP - Corel Photo Downloader and Corel File Shell Monitor. The installation now takes about 10 minutes and there have been some optimizations: 107 mb ram at startup, 330 mb virtual memory (including the junk services), 638 mb program folder, 24 278 files in 906 folders (the last one's actually more than PSP 13). Anyway, as you might have guessed, the differences between PSP 13 and 13.2 aren't many. Like I've said many times, the best PSP is version 10, so stick with it, if you don't have it and can't find it, look for it in the appropriate channels. PSP 13.2 is out and I decided to go ahead and review it, if not to analyze its new features (there aren't any), at least to remind everyone not to fall for Corel's schtick again and be duped into buying this product. September's the month when Corel always unveils a new version of PSP, which is amazing, since there hasn't been a truly new PSP in six years.
