Product name?

Product name?

I have gotten used to the product name Paint Shop Pro (PSP).

When Jasc Software owned PSP there was no doubt that the image product from 
them was Paint Shop Pro.

Now that Corel has bought Paint Shop Pro from Jasc, I keep geting confused 
about what image program is Paint Shop  Pro and what is some other image 
program from within Corel.

Today, I got an email from Corel promoting a software product named 
CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X4.

Is this a new name for Paint Shop Pro and the X4 is the version number? Or 
what is this?

Corel's Paint Shop Pro is Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo, with numbers after 
the name to identify succeeding versions.  CorelDRAW is a completely other 
animal, more expensive, and not related to Paint Shop Pro Photo.  You can 
go to the Corel site to see what products they offer.

And it wouldn't hurt to just ignore the promotional materials they send to 
try to entice you to purchase their more expensive stuff :-)
