This blends a photo graphic history tour with the ability to view images as they would have appeared in times gone by. New to this version of the product are tools to change colours preview and extract frames from video clips and smooth skin tones to supplement the teeth whitening feature introduced in the previous version.įor the more adventurous, Paint Shop Pro Photo X1 comes with its own software TARDIS feature, otherwise known as the Time Machine.
There are numerous fixes available to make adjustments to images with the minimum of mouse clicks.
You get a one-stop photo management centre that provides organisational options with quick view, photo trays and downloading features. Rather than being bundled, as with the previous version, and probably signalling the demise as a standalone offering, the functionality afforded by Corel Paint Shop Photo Album is built into version X1. By default the My Picture folder is the chosen location. Using a hierarchical tree structure of the hard disk contents you can target specific folders and view the content as thumbnails in the browser pane. The Learning Centre, which can be closed down to give more room when not required, is ideal for new users as it provides step-by-step assistance to perform common photo-editing tasks that have been categorised as Get Photo Adjust Retouch Collage Text Effects and Print/Share. The interface is intuitive enough for others to quickly find their feet.īordering the left side of the main work area is the Learning Centre pane while a browser pane sits at the bottom of the screen. Anybody familiar with the previous version of the product will immediately feel at home with the three pane interface introduced with Paint Shop Pro X. I am pleased to say that Paint Shop Pro Photo X1 continues the trend set by the previous version of loading faster although the difference was not as pronounced this time. Corel believes that this product is ideally suited for anyone, whether hobbyist, enthusiast, professional or general office worker, with an interest in photos and graphics.
The reason for this elongation of the title is apparently to emphasis the digital imaging capabilities of this new release as it allows users to edit, manage and share their photo graphic images plus use tools to enhance their work in a variety of ways. I'm tempted to say that you certainly get a lot of "P's" for your money but perhaps not. With the latest release of Paint Shop Pro, Corel has not only increased the version number (still sticking with Roman numerals) but also added the word " Photo" to the title.
