Corel PaintShop Pro X4
Corel on julkaissut vihdoinkin PaintShop Pro X4:n. Corelin mukaan uusi PSP X4 sisältää 75 uudistusta, jotka tarkemman tutkiskelun jälkeen jäävät varsin vähäisiksi. Itseäni lähinnä kiinnostaa ohjelman mainostettu nopeutus.
Vanhoille käyttäjille ei päivitysversiosta anneta paljoa alennusta (täysiversio 89,99eur ja päivitys 69,98eur).
PaintShop Pro X4 Ultimate sen sijaan on varsin kiinnostava, koska siinä tulee mukana Nik Color Efex Pro 3 filtteripaketti (josta sattumoisin julkaistiin samaan aikaan versio 4), ja Ultimaten hinta on todella halpa

Paint Shop Pro X4 uudistuksia:
More pro-level tools for incredible photos
Enjoy a no-limits photo-editing environment that gives you the freedom to achieve your creative vision. PaintShop Pro X4 includes 75 new and enhanced features that we developed based on the needs and interests of real users, like you!
New! High Dynamic Range (HDR) module
Create perfectly exposed photos or stunning surrealistic images with the new HDR module. The module lets you merge photos taken at different exposures or experiment with the tonal range of your images. Choose from two modes-Exposure Merge and Batch Merge-depending on the number of images you're working on.
New! Photo Blend
Combine elements from several shots of the same scene to create the perfect photo. Remove unwanted cars or people from a street scene. Or choose the best smiles from several photos to create the perfect group shot.
New! Fill Light and Clarity
Brighten shadows without changing the rest of your image with the Fill Light and Clarity filter. It's an easy way to draw attention to subtle details and increase the texture and depth of your photos.
New! Selective Focus
Get the effect of expensive tilt-shift lenses without the cost! Selective Focus lets you turn a scene into a miniature world. You can also use it to add depth of field and blur out distracting details.
New! Vignette effect
Draw attention to the focal point of your photo by applying a classic faded border around the edges. 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.
Enhanced! 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.
New! Adjustment layers
Enjoy worry-free editing by using new adjustment layers to leave your original background image untouched while you're working. Layers are especially useful with complex editing, such as adding graphic elements, creating image compositions, and applying artistic enhancements or text.
Enhanced! 16-bit support
Enjoy greater precision and flexibility with extended 16-bit support for over 20 tools and adjustments—including Scratch Remover, Paint Brush, Object Remover, Color Replacer, Warp Brush, Mesh Warp, Background Eraser and more!
Bonus! WinZip® Pro
