• RAW and HDR control 
  Enjoy powerful and complete editing of RAW files with a great variety of pro-level tools available in new AfterShot Lab, now inside PaintShop Pro. No extra applications and running several editing processes in parallel are needed–all to save your time and streamline the editing process.

• 360° camera support 
  Edit photographs taken with a 360°degree camera. Straighten a 360° photo with rotation or make it appear levelled. Remove and automatically replace the tripod in the image with PaintShop Pro's Magic Fill or produce an interesting ‘planet-like’ effect.

Automate edits on multiple photos at once with batch processing like adding a watermark, picture frame, or simply resizing.

  Layers and masks are essential for advanced image editing, compositing and graphic design. Use multiple, non-destructive layers when editing images to create photo composites with ease. Create masks to hide or show parts of a layer, fade between layers, and to create special effects with precision. Take advantage of the new real-time Blend Mode preview to check on the go the layer blending result by hovering over drop-list options in the Layers palette. 

• Frame tools 
  Create shapes (masks) based on symmetrical and Preset Shapes or vector text objects–or convert existing ones–all with an enhanced Frame Tool. Then, fill them with images for surrealistic, avant-garde, and other creative results to enrich the story your photo tells.

• Content-aware tools 
  Remove flaws, objects and distractions with the Object Remover or try content-aware editing tools, like SmartClone, Magic Move and Magic Fill, to automatically fill the empty area when you move or remove an object from your image, so it matches the surrounding background.

• Depth of Field and Selective Focus 
  Add a blur, play with depth of field in your photos or apply bokeh effects to keep parts of the image in focus and the rest blurred. Or use Selective Focus for a Tilt-Shift effect, to make a life-sized image look like a miniature-scale model.
