PhotoPlus power
Professional Input and Output Options
Import an impressive selection of graphic files, including raw images from
all the major manufacturers' cameras (and many more...). Support for
Photoshop® (.PSD), HD Photo, and Corel Paint Shop Pro® import! Export
to an equally extensive choice of graphic file formats!
Preset Canvas Sizes
If you're creating a new picture, adopt a preset canvas size selected from
Photo, Video, Web, Animation or International/US Paper categories.
Alternatively, create your own categories and canvas sizes which can be
saved for future use!
Versatile Layer Management
Create standard layers of varying opacity over your Background layer.
Select, link, merge, arrange, hide, duplicate one or multiple layers all at the
same time. Grouping of layers offers easier "bulk" manipulation and better
organization. Blend Modes can be applied between layers. Shape and Text
layers can be edited at any time; Adjustment and Filter layers offer non-
destructive image correction and effects. Masking is supported on all layer
types.
Post-shoot Raw "Development" with Raw Studio
Open raw files in Raw Studio and fine tune your work with white balance,
exposure, noise reduction, and chromatic aberration adjustments.
Recover "blown" image highlights with the fantastic Highlight recovery
feature. A supporting multi-color histogram aids exposure and recovery
control.
Unique Selection Options
PhotoPlus goes well beyond the basic rectangle, ellipse, freehand, and
polygon lasso tools, adding more than a dozen completely customizable
selection shapes like polygons, spirals, and stars. Use Magnetic Selection to
find edges as you trace them. Or define a selection shaped like text! Paint to
Select mode lets you literally "brush on" selectedness. Store and load
