Graphics Suite V.X5 Limited Edition

Reviewer’s Guide [ 14 ]
New! Photo effects: You can experiment with
exciting new photo effects included with
Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5 for modifying your
photos. The Vibrance effect is great for balancing
color saturation. It adds richness to colors with
low saturation while maintaining colors with high
saturation. The Grayscale effect is ideal for
removing the saturation of an object, layer, or
region of a photo. It also lets you choose the
colors used in the grayscale conversion. The
Photo Filter effect lets you simulate the result of
having a camera lens filter installed when a
picture was taken.
Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5 includes exciting new photo effects.
Enhanced! Objects docker: The improved
Objects docker in Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5 helps
you achieve greater workflow efficiency by
enabling hierarchical organization of design
elements and by making commonly used features
more accessible. You can now use nested
grouping when organizing a complex image,
which facilitates round-tripping between multiple
applications.
Thumbnails of objects and masks have been
improved and are easily adjusted at any time. The
reorganized docker also better exposes many of
the most commonly used operations. You can
now lock objects, which prevents them from
being accidentally selected, edited, or moved.
The vastly improved Objects docker enables
better organization of design elements.
