But I have it and it is an excellent program.
Just took me a while to learn it -- and although initially it SEEMED complicated... it really isn't.

Am curious what you don't like?
I found the program difficult because I wasn't familar with all the "graphic jargon". Once I figured out what THEY called things, I did fine.

I did this scan in Adobe Elements... it's a decent program for the everyday person...
Corell kicked my butt and "lesser" programs (than Adobe) didn't produce the way I wanted.

What helped me was to have someone SHOW me how to do the basics... and explain some of the applications I didn't know how to use. That REALLY got me jump started.
