I remember checking out Corel PhotoPaint9 for Linux a while back. I was
disgusted, honestly. It seems to me like Windows binary packaged with
Corel's Windows emulator. Really slow (even just the menus to open files
and stuff like that) even on a Pentium II 300MHz (599.65 BogoMIPS) with
128MB RAM. This is of course not to mention the fact that it "Windowizes"
the dialog boxes for file access. It makes your tree look like Windows,
assigning "drives" to particular predefined paths. Ugh. :(
If anyone has used Corel PhotoPaint9 for Linux together with the Corel
Linux distro, please let me know if this is the same situation for
you. But as for now, I think I'd rather:
1. Use Adobe Photoshop on a Mac or a PowerPC (if only I could afford it!);
2. Use Adobe Photoshop on Windows (sad but true);
3. Learn how to use GIMP! (yeah ... but I'm not a graphics person so I use
my time upgrading my kernel instead).
Just a personal commentary. :)
