Essential Photo Tools For Everyday Jobs
Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo is renowned for being user-friendly, and that’s
because user feedback has always played a huge role in the program’s
development. From requesting one-click automatic fixes that take the
guesswork out of image correction to insisting on advanced tools to meet the
exacting standards in digital photography, the user has spoken, and Corel Paint
Shop Pro Photo has responded.
Enhanced! Crop Tool: In response to user feedback, the Crop tool has been
enhanced to give users the exact dimensions they want in a snap. When the user
selects an area of an image with the Crop tool, a floating toolbar appears below
the selected area, allowing them to choose a predefined crop size or to rotate
the selected crop area.
The new floating Crop toolbar takes the guesswork out of image cropping.
One-Step Fixes: Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI has several features that allow
an image to be analyzed automatically and corrected with a single click. The
One Step Photo Fix command automatically adjusts the color balance, contrast,
clarity, and saturation of an image. The One Step Purple Fringe Fix command
gets rid of the purple glow that sometimes appears around edges of objects
under certain lighting conditions. The One Step Noise Removal command
identifies and eliminates the excess “noise” artifacts that are often seen in
digital photos.
Smart Photo Fix: The Smart Photo Fix analyzes a photo and suggests settings
for auto-corrections of color, brightness, sharpness, and saturation — all in one
step. Completely flexible, users can apply the one-click fix or experiment further
by manually fine-tuning the settings. At any point, if users decide that they
prefer the results of the initially suggested fix, they can quickly reapply the
suggested settings. Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI gives users the flexibility to
experiment freely with confidence, knowing that they can always revert to their
starting point.
