Introducing
Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2
Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 is the ideal digital
photography software for users who want
professional-looking photos and new ways to unlock their
creative potential. With the widest selection of
photo-editing features--ranging from automatic tools
when you need results fast or precision controls for
fine-tuning--Paint Shop Pro Photo provides a depth of
functionality that grows with users as their skills and
knowledge advance. Downloading, viewing, orting, and
quickly processing photos is a breeze, and users can
learn as they go with a variety of learning aids in the
application. With version X2, award-winning Paint Shop
Pro Photo continues to set the standard for easy-to-use,
powerful software at an affordable price.
Paint
Shop Pro Photo X2 continues to focus on photo editing,
making it the ideal choice for any aspiring
photographer`s digital darkroom. The exciting new
features in Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 include the
following:
- Express
Lab--A new streamlined mode of Paint Shop Pro
Photo helps users quickly view and fix dozens of
photos in the time it used to take to edit just a
few. Now users can crop, rotate, and fix their
photos without having to open them individually.
- Graphite
Interface Theme--A new, darker theme for Paint
Shop Pro Photo X2 makes photos look their absolute
best while users edit them.
- HDR
Photo Merge--Users can take advantage of their
camera`s autobracketing feature and combine multiple
exposures of high-contrast scenes, which are
otherwise impossible to capture adequately.
- Integrated
Clarify Control--Users can achieve incredible
results with HDR Photo Merge by applying automatic
dodging and burning. The enhanced Black and White
Film dialog box also provides a Clarify control, so
users can create dynamic, high-contrast images that
mimic the use of black-and-white film with a color
filter on the lens.
- Makeover
Tool Modes--The suite of easy-to-use retouching
tools grows in Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 to include
the new Thinify and Eye Drop modes, which give super
results, fast.
- Layer
Styles--Users can easily apply effects such as
embossing, drop shadows, glows, and even
reflections, which automatically update whenever the
underlying layer is edited.
- Visible
Watermarks--Users can take credit for their work
by adding watermarks to photos. All it takes is a
few clicks before printing or uploading proof
copies.
- Workflow
Improvements--Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 makes it
easier to use photos in documents, presentations,
and Web pages through the new Save for Office and
Copy Special options, plus redesigned Resize and
Save As dialog boxes.
- Auto-Preserve
Originals--Original photos are now automatically
preserved when users save an edited version. This
new feature provides a safety net in case users want
to return to the original version.
Corel
Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 is the ideal choice for any
aspiring photographer`s digital darkroom.
Supporting
these features is the award-winning Learning Center,
which help new users get up to speed quickly. The
Learning Center is laid out in workflow order, so users
can easily identify what they`d like to do with their
photos. The Learning Center is truly integrated into the
application, so selecting a topic automatically launches
the corresponding tool. Unlike products with limited
feature sets, Paint Shop Pro Photo provides a full range
of functionality, from quick, single-click adjustments
to full manual controls. Many common photo-editing tasks
are much easier to perform in Paint Shop Pro Photo than
in comparable applications, such as Adobe Photoshop
Elements. Examples include the following:
- Replacing
color selectively--Change the color of any
object in a photo with just one click of the Color
Changer tool while preserving the shading and
texture of the original object. Even changing a dark
color to a light color requires just a single click,
as opposed to the difficult, multistep manual
process required in Adobe Photoshop Elements.
- Correcting
perspective--Turn any lens into a tilt-swing
perspective correction lens with the Perspective
Correction feature. Simply line up four corners on a
photo element that should be square, and
double-click. Photoshop Elements requires a complex
process involving multiple controls.
- Blurring
the background selectively--Draw attention to an
object of interest in a photo with the Depth of
Field effect. This feature simulates the use of a
low lens aperture setting.
- Sprucing
up photo subjects--Apply tooth-whitening,
slimming, suntanning, and other enhancements with a
suite of Makeover tool modes.
- Giving
images an older look--Take photos back in time
by using the seven different historical effects in
the Time Machine feature.
- Removing
unwanted objects in photos--Outline an object to
remove, and a background area to use to replace it,
and the object is gone. This technique is
particularly useful for objects that are larger than
the area you use for the replacement texture. In
Photoshop Elements, this task requires cloning,
which often leads to noticeable repeat patterns.
- Removing
purple fringe--Detect and remove the colored
fringe that appears along high-contrast edges in
many digital camera photos by using the Purple
Fringe Remover.
- Simulating
infrared film--Simulate the ethereal effect of
infrared photography. The Infrared Film effect even
includes options to simulate the flare and film
grain qualities of this unique film type.
- Importing
and exporting CMYK format files--Benefit from
fully supported color management, with ICC-standard
color profiles, including importing and exporting
CMYK format files.
- Merging
auto-bracketed images--Take advantage of a
digital camera`s auto-bracket feature to create
images that retain all the detail of shadow and
highlight areas in a photo.
The
Express Lab helps users quickly process large batches of
photos.
New!
HDR Photo Merge:
Many digital cameras have an auto-bracket feature, which
lets users take multiple shots of the same scene, each
with a different exposure level. This feature is ideal
for photos taken in high-contrast scenes, such as a
sunset. One shot adjusts the exposure to capture the
shadows, while another shot adjusts the exposure to
capture bright areas. The HDR (High Dynamic Range) Photo
Merge feature lets users combine auto-bracketed photos
to create a photo that retains the critical detail of
the images being combined. While ideal for photos shot
using a tripod and auto-bracketing, this feature can
automatically align images captured with handheld
cameras using manual exposure adjustments.
Enhanced!
Black and White Film Effect:
Users can easily create dynamic black-and-white photos
by simulating the effects of shooting using
black-and-white film with colored filters. Paint Shop
Pro Photo X2 gives users the full creative control of
the Channel Mixer command by letting them select from a
virtually infinite range of color combinations within an
intuitive, easy-to-use interface. The enhanced Black and
White Film dialog box also provides a Clarify control,
so users can create dynamic, high-contrast images that
mimic the use of black-and-white film with a color
filter on the lens.
One
Step Photo Fix and Smart Photo Fix:
The One Step Photo Fix command automatically applies six
common photo corrections to an image. All the user needs
to do is select the command.
The
Smart Photo Fix analyzes a photo and suggests settings
for auto-corrections of color, brightness, sharpness,
and saturation used in One Step Photo Fix. Completely
flexible, users can apply the suggested settings 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. Paint Shop Pro Photo X2
gives users the flexibility to experiment freely with
confidence, knowing that they can always revert to their
starting point.
Easily
correct distorted images with Lens Distortion Correction
filters.
The
HDR Photo Merge feature helps users get the most out of
their digital cameras.

Editing
Tools:
Discover
Editing Tools You Can`t Find Anywhere Else
Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 has a powerful toolset that can
fix nearly any digital photo imperfection. If the
problem stems from the quality of the image produced by
the camera, a user can apply quick, easy corrections
with a series of time-saving tools. If photo subjects
don`t look their best, their appearance can be spruced
up faster and easier than ever before.
New
& Enhanced! Makeover Tool:
Everyone wants to look their best in a photo. To that
end, Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 includes a suite of
Makeover tool modes that let users quickly and easily
touch up the appearance of photo subjects. The
professional-strength Makeover tool contains the
following modes:
- New!
Thinify Mode--makes photo subjects look thinner
- New!
Eye Drop Mode--takes the red out of irritated,
bloodshot eyes
- Enhanced!
Blemish Fixer Mode--removes blemishes from photo
subjects
- Enhanced!
Suntan Mode--adds color to pale, washed-out skin
- Toothbrush
Mode--quickly whitens discolored teeth
Color
Changer Tool:
The Color Changer tool lets users easily change colors
in their digital images. For example, users can easily
change the color of an object in a photo, such as a car
or a piece of clothing. 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. Paint Shop
Pro Photo X2 gives users two noise-removal options. The
One Step Noise Removal command offers one-step,
automatic noise removal.
The
Digital Camera Noise Removal command allows users to
precisely control how these same corrections are
applied. This feature has been favorably compared to
specialized noise-removal plug-ins that cost as much as
Paint Shop Pro Photo X2!
Perspective
Correction Tool:
This longtime favorite gives users the power and
versatility of an expensive tilt-correction lens. With
the Perspective Correction tool, users can fix
buildings, landmarks, or objects in their photos that
appear in the wrong perspective or that were taken from
an angle other than directly in front. Users can simply
line up the four corner points with a shape that should
be rectangular to adjust the entire image
Purple
Fringe Removal:
The One Step Purple Fringe Fix command gets rid of the
purple glow that sometimes appears in digital photos
around edges of objects under high-contrast conditions.
Straighten
Tool:
Users can easily straighten crooked images by simply
specifying a line along an image feature that should be
horizontal or vertical, such as the horizon or a
building.
Background
Eraser Tool:
Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 lets users selectively erase
pixels with the Background Eraser tool. For example, in
a photo of a mountain range, users can erase the sky or
isolate an object from the surrounding image area. When
the background behind photo subjects is erased,
fine-edged detail around hair or fur is retained.
Object
Remover:
If the only thing that stands between a good photo and a
perfect one is an unwanted element--a lamppost, a tree,
even a bystander--the Object Remover can help. The
Object Remover makes it easy to remove unwanted or
difficult-to-clone portions of images and fills in the
removed detail with portions of the remaining photo.
Just outline the object to remove, and a background area
to use to replace it, and the object is gone.
The
Color Changer tool lets you easily change colors in your
digital images. 
With
the Perspective Correction tool, you can fix buildings,
landmarks, or objects in your photos that appear in the
wrong perspective. 
The
Object Remover makes it easy to remove unwanted or
difficult-to-clone portions of images and fills in the
removed detail with portions of the remaining photo.
Create
One-Of-A-Kind Photos
Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 offers an array of graphics
tools and creative effects that help users transform
their photos into one-of-a-kind artistic images. While
professional-strength image-correction tools have always
been at the core of the application, Paint Shop Pro
Photo is also renowned for letting users push their
artistic boundaries. Whether making a photo look like it
was taken long ago with a bygone era`s film and camera
technology, or adding stunning artistic effects, users
of Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 can unleash their creativity.
New!
Layer Styles:
This feature lets users apply a variety of artistic
effects to a layer, such as Drop Shadow, Emboss, and
Reflection, without having to leave the Layer Properties
dialog box.
Film
and Filters:
Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 offers users a range of effects
inspired by classic film and filter types. Users can
experiment with a variety of film-effect and
filter-effect combinations to produce interesting,
eye-catching results. Users can also simulate the effect
of using color filters on the lens of a camera by
applying a Creative Filter effect, or they can apply a
Film Look to simulate the effect of using different
types of film in a traditional camer
Time
Machine:
The Time Machine offers users a tour of photographic
history by letting them see what their photos would look
like if they had been taken in another era. With a range
of settings based on photo styles from the 1830s to the
1980s, users can easily send their photos back in time.
A live preview lets users see the evolution of
photography on a single image.
Warp
Brush:
The Warp Brush lets users easily create caricatures of
their photos or photo subjects by distorting the pixels
in a particular area of the photo.
Effects
Browser:
The Effects Browser lets users preview an enormous range
of effects before applying them to an image.
Vector
Drawing Tools:
Using the Text tool, users can add descriptive or
decorative text to an image, and the text can be easily
edited and formatted. Using the Preset Shapes tool,
users can add predefined shapes--such as callouts,
arrows, flowers, and gears--to images. The range of
predefined shapes has been expanded in Paint Shop Pro
Photo X2.
Enhanced!
Picture Tubes:
A longtime user favorite, the Picture Tube tool lets
users paint on their photos with a collection of
professionally designed artistic elements. For example,
users can add butterflies and beetles to a picnic
setting, fill an aquarium with fish, or frame a picture
with holly. Picture Tubes are available in a variety of
themes, and users can also create their own graphics to
use with the Picture Tube tool. Paint Shop Pro Photo X2
has several new Picture Tubes, giving users more options
when enhancing their photos.
Enhanced!
Picture Frames and Photo Edges:
Using picture frames and photo edges, users can easily
add eye-catching final touches to their images. Paint
Shop Pro Photo X2 provides a variety of picture frame
styles, and the frames are editable, so users can tweak
them or create their own. The addition of new picture
frames and photo edges in Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 offers
users even more creative possibilities.
