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.

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. And 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 easy step. Completely flexible, you can apply the one-click fix or experiment further by manually fine-tuning the settings. At any point, if you decide that you prefer the results of the initially suggested fix, you can quickly reapply the suggested settings. Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI gives you the flexibility to experiment freely with confidence, knowing that you can always revert to your starting point.
