Take your photos and designs to the next level with PaintShop Pro, the award-winning photo-editing and creative design combo.
Photo Editing
Organize, edit and enhance your photos with powerful photo-editing tools:
NEW! Instant Effects palette
Add creative effects to your photos in just seconds. Choose from a variety of preset effects which are organized into style categories such as Artistic, Film Styles, Black & White and Landscape. Thumbnails make it easy to select the effect you want or choose from your own custom made presets. You can also apply multiple effects to a single image to instantly create a unique photographic look.
NEW! Retro Lab
Add old school color and contrast to your photos to achieve a distinctive look inspired by early lo-fi cameras. Plus, take advantage of a variety of control settings to create and tweak presets for use in other creative projects.
NEW! Graduated Filter effect
Apply semi-transparent color gradients to your photos to simulate the effect of using different camera lens filters. Enhanced gradient tools allow you to make quick and easy adjustments. A wide range of easy-to-use gradient controls also allows for more creativity and experimentation.
RAW Lab
Get a better look at your images with a larger preview area in the RAW Lab. The improved histogram lets you fine-tune images quickly and the new highlight recovery feature helps you restore detail in overexposed areas.
Enhanced! High Dynamic Range (HDR) tools
Create stunning photos with intense visual contrast using enhanced High Dynamic Range (HDR) tools, including the new ability to preview a photo's alignment and create Black & White HDR photos.
NEW! Single RAW Photo
Split an individual RAW photo into three exposures and then selectively recombine them to create a stunning and surreal HDR-style effect.
Makeover tools
Make sure the people in your photos look their best with Makeover tools that are fun and easy to use. Remove blemishes, smooth wrinkles, whiten bloodshot eyes, paint on tans and even help your subjects drop those extra few pounds the camera adds on. Advanced Warp tools allow you to distort faces to add a bizarre and humorous twist to your portraits, give your subjects a sculpted model makeover, and add new shape and perspective to your images.
Graphic Design
Create impressive graphic designs with dynamic design tools:
Enhanced! Text tool
Get the look you want with the enhanced Text tool which offers more intuitive text selection and editing, as well as improved interaction with the Pick tool.
Vector Editing tools
Draw and edit vector objects, and combine artistic elements with your photos to create digital designs that are as unique as your art style.
NEW! Run Multiple Scripts dialog box
Use built-in scripts to automate tasks such as resizing, adding effects and adjustments, allowing you to work faster, achieve more consistent results and experiment with different tools. Choose from dozens of easy-to-use pre-made scripts, create your own, or connect with other PaintShop® Pro users to share and exchange scripts. You can now also select multiple scripts as part of a single batch processing job, allowing you to get the perfect look while saving you time and effort.
Enhanced! Paint Brush
Create and paint new styles and designs with the enhanced Paint Brush tool. Choose from a variety of built-in brushes or import Adobe® Photoshop® brushes, letting you enjoy even more ways to bring your digital artwork and creative designs to life.
Enhanced! Layer Styles

Go beyond photo editing with enhanced Art Media tools that allow you to create incredible digital works of art. Paint directly over top of your photos or use art media tools such as the enhanced water color brush to create a realistic hand painted effect.
