Add watermarks to your photographs.

Now you can easily add watermarks to your photographs to properly reflect copyright and ownership

and graphics.

Use powerful lens correction tools.

Easily fix common lens distortions such as barrel, pincushion, and fish-eye. You can also fix perspective

distortions.

Fine tune your images with shadows and highlights adjustments.

While most other editing functions such as "brightness" and "levels" tend to affect all areas of the

image in the same way, the Shadows and Highlights tool allows the user to enhance only the

shadows, or only the highlights, or both shadows and highlights independently.

If your subject is placed in front of a bright background, such as a sky, this often results in a sky that is

too bright or a subject that is too dark. Shadows and Highlights allows you to make the subject

brighter and make the sky darker whereas other functions such as brightness or levels only allow you

to brighten or darken the photograph as a whole.

Shadows and Highlights also allows you to increase or decrease the color saturation of the photos

when you make adjustments.

feel appropriate for your business.
