New to this version of the product is a Magic Fill feature which can work in conjunction with various selection tools. This im prove figure is Corel’s figure not mine. Whether you regard it as an enhancement or new feature, some of the brushes, including those for paint, airbrushing and retouching tasks have been speeded up by as much as 30%. There is a well-populated tool bar and panels containing materials, layers and a Learning Centre.Ĭorel has added a number of new features and enhanced some other aspects of the program with this latest version of Paint Shop Pro. When you need to work more precisely on a selected image then Edit is the place to be. The filmstrip view will be retained while the side panels change their content to show tools on the left and thumbnails of Instant Effects on the right. Switching to Adjust, you will be shown the currently selected image in centre screen. Manage gives you views of adjustable thumbnails, a filmstrip of images and hierarchical tree structures of your available image collections. You can also opt to change both the workspace and background colours by selecting from lists of 3 and 5 choices respectively. There is an option to change the default to Edit or whatever was the last one used on shutdown. Paint Shop Pro’s interface allows you to switch between three different modes entitled Manage, Adjust and Edit with Manage being the default settings. The 64-bit version failed to recognition any scanners that I had available. While the 64-bit version is faster with certain tasks and allows you to work with larger images, I found that I needed the 32-bit version when importing content from a scanner. You are given the choice of installing the 32-bit, 64-bit or both versions of the software with the latter being Corel’s recommended option. When installing this software, a 31-character serial number will need to be entered. My review is based on the Ultimate offering which comes bundled with Perfectly Clear by Athentech Imaging, Reallusion’s FaceFilter 3 and a Creative Collection of extra images, brushes and textures. Now firmly entrenched as part of the Corel family of product since 2004, this latest version of Paint Shop Pro is available in Standard and Ultimate versions.
