Has anyone tried the new Paint Shop Pro Photo X2?  And if so... how does it compare to version 9?

I use Paintshop Pro 9.0 and when they came out with the newer versions I downloaded the Pro X version on a 30-day trial and it seemed a lot slower and somewhat "dumbed down" as a result of the addition of more wizards (which gave less control.)

Thanks!

Well, I haven't actually used it yet, but I installed it last night and figured that I would pass this on.

I make it a point not to install applications on my C: drive.  Most applications will allow you to pick another drive to install to without a problem.

Well, when I tried to install PSP X2 last night, I pointed the app to my E: drive (which is where I install all my apps).  I then pushed the button to continue, but it complained that it still needed over 300 MB of free space on my C: drive!

It took me about an hour to clear enough space on my C: drive for the install.  Not very user friendly or extensible.

Once I finally got it installed, I did manage to open the app and take a quick peak.  Looks nice from a UI perspective, but that was all I had time for.
