PaintShop Pro is littered with other “one-step fixes” that are obviously aimed at novices but it also has many more-complicated tools that come with gazillions of settings. But since purple fringing is usually due to chromatic aberration–though it may be the result of other factors–I’d say that Corel could safely have combined these tools.
For example, in the Edit mode, the One-Step Purple Fringe Fix and the Chromatic Aberration Removal are located next to each other. Sometimes, similar tools appear in the Adjust and Edit modes, or even within the same mode. The Adjust mode doesn’t allow you to toggle before-and-after views of your edited image, but the Edit mode usually does. Changing from one mode to another isn’t like starting up a new application, as it is with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, but you still have to wait while PaintShop Pro X4 shifts things around, and the application makes you save your image between mode changes.

PaintShop Pro X4 has a revised interface, with three large workspace tabs across the top of the screen: Manage, for photo organization Adjust, a lead-me-by-the-nose editing mode and Edit, which provides a vast array of manual image-editing tools. That’s not to say that Corel hasn’t tried to put things into some semblance of order. Though PaintShop Pro X4 is a powerful, extremely capable image-editing application, it would benefit greatly from having a ruthless cleanup crew step in and throw some stuff away. Is your workshop like mine? 37 screwdrivers, 16 of which are nearly identical a saw over here, a saw over there–wait, where did I leave that saw? Corel’s PaintShop Pro X4 ($100, as of October 17, 2011) is like my workshop, too–enough tools to serve the needs of almost anyone, assuming that they can find the right one for the job at hand.
