NEW! Features include:

AfterShot Lab
Enjoy powerful and complete editing of RAW files with a great variety of pro-level tools available in the new AfterShot Lab, now inside PaintShop Pro. There is no need for extra applications or for running several editing processes in parallel, with time-saving and streamlined RAW image editing.

Enhanced Frame Tool

Enrich the visual stories your images tell! Create shapes (clipped masks) based on symmetrical and Preset Shapes or even vector text objects–or convert already existing vector objects and text into shapes–all with an enhanced Frame Tool. Then, fill shapes with images, patterns, or colors to achieve certain effects–surrealistic, avant-garde, playful, or any other.

Focus Stacking
Go crisp and clear with new Focus Stacking allowing to blend multiple images of the same scene, taken at different focus distances, to create a final composite with a greater depth of field (DOF) than any of the individual source images.

Enhanced Real-Time Blend Mode Transfer
Take advantage of the new real-time Blend Mode preview to check layer blending results on the go by hovering over drop-list options in the Layers palette. Mix creatively and check on the fly with the user-friendly and intuitive Blend Mode tool.

Snap to Objects
In your projects, align objects with precision in no time with new Snap to Objects feature. Use the bounding box to precisely snap two objects together with an automated high-level control and avoid extra steps in the editing process.

Enhanced Usability and Performance
Enjoy enhancements across the board! Explore the updated layout of "New from Template" page, now with more content visible, plus new "Filter" and "Sorting" options to arrange quick search of theme topic. Get perfect results with the precise rotation value input and the rotation angles control in vector editing. See a 30% performance improvement when using Refine Brush, get support for the latest cameras, and so much more!

Other Features include:

Essential Tools
Easily crop areas of your photo to alter the focus using composition guides, Golden Ratio and Rule of Thirds. Resize with ease using one of several presets, or resize by pixels, percentage or print size. Restore and repair old photos with the Scratch Remover and Fade Correction tools to enhance contrast and color to faded photos.

Adjustment Tools
Alter your photos using a wide variety of powerful adjustment tools, including Brightness and Contrast, 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 your selection with the Refine Brush. Automatically correct distortions, vignetting and chromatic aberrations in your photos with Lens Correction tools and 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° Camera Support
Manage and save metadata in your RAW files with PaintShop Pro’s RAW Lab and correct problem areas, such as recovering blown highlights or adjusting shadows. Combine several photos of the same scene with different exposures to create one stunning HDR photo. Edit photographs taken with a 360° degree camera by straightening a photo with rotation or make it appear levelled. Remove and automatically replace a tripod or produce an interesting ‘planet-like’ effect.

Time Saving Tools
Reduce repetition and accelerate complex photo-editing actions with Scripts. Record a series of edits as a script to apply to any photo, anytime. Automate edits on multiple photos at once with batch processing like adding a watermark, picture frame, or simply resizing.

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 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 & Creative Content
Access a wide range of built-in templates to create collages, greeting cards, social media images, web banners, brochures, business cards and more.

AI Powered Tools
Intricate and time consuming edits just got so much easier with the new technology engineered into PaintShop Pro. Enlarge an image without unwanted distortion with AI Upsampling, remove artifacts and noise from your photos with one click using AI Artifact Removal or AI Denoise, and stylize your photos with artistic effects using AI Style Transfer.

Content Aware Tools
Remove flaws, objects and distractions with the Object Remover or try content-aware editing tools, like SmartClone, Magic Move and Magic Fill, to automatically fill empty areas. Eliminate red-eye, blemished and unwanted lines or smooth wrinkles, whiten teeth and even out skin tones with Makeover and retouching tools.
