|
At first sight, Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI looks absolutely the same as Paint Shop Pro X, leaving alone the new icon |
|
| The maker added to it keyword tagging and some other searching functions (not so elaborated though as in Picasa and similar cataloguers). Alternatively, the Organizer can be launched as a standalone program - Corel Snapfire (screenshot). The most strange thing with it - it doesn't support keyword tagging. |
|
| "... In response to your feedback, the Crop tool has been enhanced to give you the exact dimensions you want in a snap" - declares Corel. There is no saying, what the maker means. In Paint Shop Pro Photo XI, you still can't combine cutting and resampling operations in the way Photoshop and Photoshop Elements users do. Perhaps the most evident innovation here - possibility to turn the Crop box... by 90 grads. Alas, arbitrary rotation is also unavailable at this time (see screenshot). |  |
|
In the Curves and Levels dialogs have been added histogram graphs and buttons for automatic corrections (Auto Color, Auto Contrast). In the meantime, Output Levels sliders have disappeared from the Levels dialog (screenshot).
|
| - Skin Smoothing - a kind of specialized "smart blur" filter. Surely, it can't distinguish the skin from hair or cloth. However, in some cases it can save you some time. - Depth of Field tool is intended for emphasizing a particular image area by blurring the rest of the image. Unfortunately, sometimes it leaves visible seams around the "focused" zone (screenshot). If you know how to use the Selection tool and Gaussian Blur you make this kind of job more accurately. |

- The Color Replacer - And some more one-click effects and filters... |
