@marcohayek @metin I switched to them gradually over the last two years and while they aren't perfect, they are pretty good and I paid in total for all of v2 about the same as 1 and a half months of an Adobe CC subscription. Was totally worth it.
Seems very unlikely that the same will be true by the time v3 comes around. I hope they just don't ruin v2 in the process and so at least I will have that to work with.
Sigh.
@smilingdemon @marcohayek I've also bought the V2 suite. Ironically, I'm still using PhotoScape X (Pro) 90% of the time. Once you really dig into it, it turns out to be very versatile. You can also do batch processing, create animated GIFs and much more with it.
