Professional-quality tools in a streamlined, intuitive workflow

With PaintShop™ Pro X4, you get the photo-editing tools you need to create the professional look you want. From standard editing tools for fixing common flaws, to specialised features that let you tap into the latest trends in photography, it’s all here in a sleek, responsive interface designed to make photo-editing fast and enjoyable.
 

Stunning effects

Take advantage of over 50 adjustment filters and 112 special effects to fine-tune your work. Merge photos taken with different exposures to create a stunning, perfectly exposed image with the new HDR module. Or experiment with the tonal range to get an intriguing, surreal look. The HDR tools in PaintShop™ Pro X4 are ideal for revealing hidden details in backlit scenes like sunsets. Try it with a series of photos taken using the auto-bracket feature on your DSLR.

Get the look of tilt-shift photography without expensive lenses using the new Selective Focus feature. Turn a scene into a miniature world or use it to add depth of field, blurring distracting details and drawing attention to the key areas of your image.

Combine photos easily

Sometimes it takes a little magic to create the perfect composition. The new Photo Blend tool lets you combine the best elements from similar shots to create your ideal photo. For example, remove unwanted cars or people from a street scene, take the best smiles from a series of group shots or create a unique effect using multiple images of the same person in the one photo.

Impressive results - fast

With new performance updates, including GPU optimisations, PaintShop™ Pro X4 is the fastest version yet. More real-time effects - including Noise Reduction, Vibrancy, Tone Mapping and others - let you see the results as you work. Start up time is drastically reduced, plus the interface is faster and more responsive, making your photo-editing experience even more enjoyable.

Streamlined workflow

Enjoy an easy and intuitive editing experience with tabbed workspaces that mirror your natural workflow. Move freely between three modes:

• Manage: quickly browse, tag and organise your photo collections
• Adjust: easily make powerful adjustments and quick fixes
• Edit: take advantage of professional tools for photo editing, image composition and graphic design

Enhance a favourite photo quickly and easily

You can also access the Organizer directly from any workspace, making it easy to review and rate your photos. Use trays to gather and access images from several folders and refer to the new Shot Info panel to instantly see details about the camera and image. New dual monitor support lets you manage your photos on one screen while editing on the other. Plus, try new Adjustment Layers to experiment without changing your source image.

More detailed photos

Brighten shadowy areas of your photo without changing the rest of the image with Fill Light. Try the Clarity filter to draw attention to subtle details, dramatically increasing the texture and depth of your photos.
 

Custom borders

Apply a custom fade to the outer edge of a photo to emphasise the focal point of your image. With the new Vignette effect, you can use intuitive sliders to control the appearance of the edges by choosing the shape, color and tone, and adjusting the amount of blur, glow, and feathering

Robust RAW Lab

Get a better look at your images with a larger preview area in the redesigned RAW Lab, which now supports more camera models and opens your images faster. Enhancements to the histogram make it easier to assess your adjustments and the new Highlight Recovery tool helps you restore detail in overly exposed areas.

Built-in social media sharing

Share your photos faster with one-click sharing to Facebook® and Flickr® straight from the Organizer window.
