Powerful photo editing tools
Essential tools
Easily crop and resize photos using composition guides, Golden Ratio or Rule of Thirds. Restore and repair old photos with the Scratch Remover and Fade Correction tools to enhance contrast and color to faded photos.

Enhance photos to the fullest with Brightness and Contrast tools, Fill Light and Clarity, Fade Correction, White Balance, Hue and Saturation, Noise Removal, Vibrancy, Sharpening, color correction, and tonal levels and curves.
Selection and Correction tools
Isolate the area you want to select with a variety of Selection tools and enhance it with the Refine Brush. Automatically correct distortions, vignetting and chromatic aberrations in your photos with Lens Correction tools. Use the Straighten tool to fix a crooked horizon, or the Perspective Correction tool to make a photo appear as though it was taken from a different angle.
RAW, HDR and 360° photo control
Enjoy powerful and complete editing of RAW files with a great variety of pro-level tools available in new AfterShot Lab, now inside PaintShop Pro. Combine several photos of the same scene with different exposures to create one stunning HDR photo. PaintShop Pro’s HDR tools let you access a broader tonal range for a breathtaking final image. Edit photographs taken with a 360°degree camera.
Time saving tools
Reduce repetition and accelerate complex photo-editing actions by recording Scripts and automate edits on multiple photos at once with batch processing like adding a watermark, picture frame, or simply resizing.
Creative graphic design features
Layers and masks
Layers and masks are essential for advanced image editing, compositing and graphic design. Use multiple, non-destructive layers when editing images to create photo composites with ease. Create masks to hide or show parts of a layer, fade between layers, and to create special effects with precision.
Text tools
Add text to images to create interesting projects, like a meme or a picture quote. Adjust fonts, size, style, alignment, leading, and kerning with a complete set of typography tools.
Drawing, painting and fill tools
Paint with new built-in brushes, or import Adobe Photoshop brushes to bring your digital designs to life. Draw with vector illustration tools, and use color palettes, gradients, patterns and picture tubes to take your designs to the next level.
Templates and creative content
Work with various brushes, textures, patterns, and other in-product creative content— all ready for you to inspire new ideas and save time while producing next-level designs.
