I’ve been searching the Corel site for the upgrade you mentioned, for existing users of PSPP X2, at $30. All I can see is the $60 upgrade offer… can you provide a link to the $30 upgrade?

Amie - thanks for the response. However, I’m not getting a prompt when I launch X2, and “Check for Updates” tells me there are none. So I guess I’ll call CS!

This mean that I have to pay to get the raw
files from my Canon G9?

I think Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 and the new X2 Ultimate version is one of the best versions in years. I love the graphite theme it is so refreshing rather than the standard blue - white themes. I found upgrading easy, and I have to admit that Corel looks after their registered users. I will continue to tutor those on the program, and use the program myself as long as they make it.
