![]() From 1995 to 2011 is a long time to dedicate to a particular company, much less a particular program. But in the past it was justified I played with most aspects of the Corel Graphics Suite, but really purchased it for its photo-editing software, Corel Photo-Paint. It was significantly cheaper than its competitor, Adobe Photoshop, and in my mind was just as good or better. All things must come to an end. I get that. But its frustrating when Im pushed into that decision by bad tech support and product design. Heres what happened: Id been using Corel Graphics Suite v12 as my photo-editing software. Corel Photoshop Vs Adobe Photoshop Upgrade My VersionWith the recent purchase of a high-powered PC, I wanted to upgrade my version of Corel the old version was 32-bit and I was having problems installing it on my newer 64-bit OS (Windows 7). So I figured Id upgrade. I did. Corel Graphics Suite x5 worked fine, until I started running it with other programs open at the same time. This could be during any type of operation, but it seemed to most often crash during processes that required more memory allocation (like copyingpasting pictures or making an animated GIF). While these Corel crashes were clearly memory-related, my system wasnt at fault. This was a very clean install and the system was only days old. ![]() I verified that yes, there were no memory issues and all Microsoft and Corel patches were at latest versions. Heres the email chain: I have a new Windows 7 64-bit PC thats recently been formatted and reloaded. It is almost always when Im manipulating layers or resizing photos, cropping, pasting, moving, or doing other pretty generic operations. This happens most often when I have 3 or more windows open, leading me to believe it may be a memory issue. My PC is a Lenovo T410, with Windows 7 Enterprise and 8GB RAM. Corel Photoshop Vs Adobe Photoshop Drivers Updated ToI have all MS updates available for Windows, all Lenovo drivers updated to latest versions (including video card). Photo-Paint crashes enough that I really cant use it reliably I experienced 5 crashes in a 30-minute period, after which I found that lowering the number of active windows seemed to prevent the crash. They emailed back: Case 00969462 Dear Mr.Kaiser, Thank you very much for your e-mail. Please be informed that CorelDraw Graphics Suite X5 requires a lot of memory resources, therefore it is advisable to avoid using the program with other program running in the background. Eventhough, you have 8Gb of RAM since the program is a 32 bit application, it cannot maximize your 8Gb memory resources.
