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.
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.
Enhanced! Crop Tool:
Users who scan multiple images at the same time will love the enhanced Crop
tool. The new Crop to New Image feature automatically creates a new file from
the cropped area and keeps the original full scan open, so users can easily
separate individual image files from the group scan.
