Corel Photoimpact X3 Tutorials Windows 7 From 2010

I have been intensively using it on Windows 7 from 2010 to 2016, and for about one year now Im using it without any troubles on Windows 10 64 bit.

I now additionally installed PhotoImpact X3 on Win 10 64 bit, no problems again.

I do NOT have to use compatibility mode, its just running fine like a regular program designed for Win7 or Win10.

PhotoImpact X3 worked fine on Windows 10 until a month or so ago, then after each Insider build update it wouldnt.

I rolled back each time and it was fine again, but I was missing build after build of Windows.

I contacted Corel and they told me the same - PI isnt supported on W10 anymore.

It was like saying goodbye to an old friend, but it HAS been obsolete for some years now.

Corel Photoimpact X3 Tutorials Upgrade For Me

If I rememember (I might be wrong), I think the (or a) version before that which ran on XP wouldnt run on Vista, hence the upgrade for me at the time.

There are some very early changes that may never see the light of day, and some which are release candidates (RCs) and are theoretically soon to be released in normal Windows updates to typical users.

I didnt realise PhotoImpact was still available - although Corel only says it works up to XPVista so I guess I, along with everyone else, was lucky to have it survive W7s whole lifetime and a year of W10 into the bargain.

I know that Corel took Ulead over around 2008, and some time after it was announced that development on PhotoImpact would stop and PSP would be the core application (2009).

Its weird that Nova Developments USA are also selling their own branded version (as Pro) on Amazon, though Wiki points out this is identical to X3.

PhotoImpacts sudden death on my system this year was a shame after so much use.

I simply upgraded to PSP after trialling it for a day and seeing it was at least as good as (learning curve notwithstanding).

I guess my use of the term obsolete is not quite accurate in one sense, but in the sense that PhotoImpact development stopped before W7 was released, it has a grain of truth for the whole of W7s lifetime and beyond.

I suspect Corel knew it worked with W7 just wanted to capitalise on a decent program while there was still a huge market among XPW7 users.
