My Review 

I absolutely loved Jasc's Version 7, and have purchased every upgrade since. I have a quad core i7 machine with 8 gb of ram and a 1 TB hard drive, which responds great with every piece of software I own, EXCEPT for PSP X3. This is my final upgrade and I will never recommend the product again. What a mess Corel has made of what was once cutting-edge software. Use it at your own frustration.
