Red Eye Removal Tool: One of the most common problems in flash photos is
red-eye, but PaintShop Photo Pro X3 offers an easy solution. Users can quickly
remove red-eye from photo subjects with a click of the Red Eye tool.
Color Changer Tool: The Color Changer tool lets users quickly change colors
in their digital images. For example, the color of an object in a photo, such as a
car or a piece of clothing, be easily be changed. Rather than simply replacing a
color, the Color Changer tool detects and analyzes variations in brightness
caused by shading and texture, and then it makes the necessary adjustments to
the new color to produce a realistic recoloring effect.

Noise Removal: “Noise” artifacts — small specks of color that interfere with
the clarity of the image — are one of the most common problems in digital
photography. PaintShop Photo Pro X3 offers two noise-removal options: The
One Step Noise Removal for one-step, automatic noise removal, and the Digital
Camera Noise Removal command for precisely controlling how these same
corrections are applied.
Adjustment Layers: Whenever a tonal or color change is applied to a photo,
the image’s information is altered, which means that the image ultimately starts
to degrade. The advantage of using adjustment layers is that they do not
permanently modify the image layers themselves. In addition, multiple
adjustment layers can be added to an image to test various color corrections or
to see how several corrections look when they’re combined.
Scratch Remover Tool: The Scratch Remover tool instantly removes scratches,
power lines, telephone poles, and other linear flaws or distractions in photos.
This tool is particularly useful for removing scratches or cracks when restoring
old photos.
Curves and Levels adjustments: The Curves and Levels features in
PaintShop Photo Pro X3 give photo enthusiasts exceptional control over some of
the most critical imaging adjustments. The Curves dialog box includes a
histogram, so photographers can easily and intuitively fine-tune their work.
Three automatic settings let less-experienced users optimize the contrast and
color levels in their images with a few clicks.
