60% Off Paint Shop Pro photo editing software
Paint Shop Pro is the only photo editor I am willing to use not called Photoshop. For a long time, Paint Shop Pro offered far better automatic background removal than Photoshop. At $39.99 during this sale, Paint Shop Pro is a bargain for editing everything from Web-ready images to your personal photo collection. Corel, the company behind Paint Shop Pro has several other promotions, but this one is by far the best of the season for photo editing. Offer expires end of day on November 26, 2010.

76% Discount on Pinnacle Studio Ultimate HD creative bundle
Pinnacle Studio Ultimate is the app I frequently use for editing high definition movies. Version 14 is definitely worth the upgrade if you have a previous version because many of the encoding features have improved dramatically. This is the best deal I've seen on Studio Ultimate and far less than I paid when I upgraded. Creative Pack 1, Creative Pack 2, and the Winter Pack included in this bundle are worth the bonus features for creating DVDs and adding effects. There's also a tutorial DVD included, which helps make editing video with Pinnacle Studio easier. This one is good into Decemeber with no coupon code required, but if you are in the market for video editig software, you won't find a better bargain.
