I'm using 2020 they are now up to 2021 but I have no plans to upgrade mine. If you have used any version from X1 yeah it's easy to use. If you are a newbie to PSP like all new programs it w il take time to be efficient in it. However, the learning curve for PSP is a lot smaller then with PS. I have used both programs in the past. PS confused me a lot when i first learned it .
