Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 from Corel is a photo editing program that can serve as your "digital darkroom." It's a great program to help you quickly get professional-looking photos! Like any good photo editing software, it includes quick-fix tools to rapidly improve your images, in addition to powerful professional editing tools to fine-tune your photos. You get all these great tools for hundreds less than Photoshop!
Edit images quickly
Corel's Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 software includes the "Express Lab," which is where you can apply quick fixes to dozens of photos at once. Common photo problems like red-eye and color casts can be remedied here, and it can also improve the brightness, shadows, contrast, and color saturation in your images. The program will also upload pictures from your camera quickly, even in RAW format!
Use professional image tools
Great-looking photographs need more than just red-eye correction. The enhanced tools in Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 let you remove digital noise, correct perspective and lens distortion, and remove distracting background objects. Powerful tools designed especially for portraits make your subject look great with whiter teeth and fewer blemishes, and the sharpening features make slightly fuzzy photos look surprisingly crisp and clear.
Share your images
The slideshow and sharing tools in Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 let you email photos to your friends and family. You can add picture frames, convert to black and white, create special-effects layers, and add captions. Finally, the watermark feature lets you showcase your work without losing control of it.
