Powerful photo editing tools
Depend on a versatile range of professional tools in this image editing software to make every shot, the best shot.
Essential tools
Easily crop areas of your photo to alter the focus using composition guides, Golden Ratio and Rule of Thirds. Resize with ease using one of several presets, or resize by pixels, percentage or print size. Restore and repair old photos with the Scratch Remover and Fade Correction tools to enhance contrast and color to faded photos.
Adjustment tools
Alter your photos using a wide variety of powerful adjustment tools, including Brightness and Contrast, Fill Light and Clarity, Fade Correction, White Balance, Hue and Saturation, Noise Removal, Vibrancy, Sharpening, color correction, and tonal levels and curves.
Selection and Correction tools
Isolate the area you want to select with a variety of Selection tools and enhance your selection with the Refine Brush. Automatically correct distortions, vignetting and chromatic aberrations in your photos with Lens Correction tools and use the Straighten tool to fix a crooked horizon, or the Perspective Correction tool to make a photo appear as though it was taken from a different angle.
RAW, HDR, and 360° camera support
Advance your editing capabilities of RAW files using the pro-level tools of AfterShot Lab, now available in PaintShop Pro Portable. Combine several photos of the same scene with different exposures to create one stunning HDR photo. Edit photographs taken with a 360° degree camera by straightening a photo with rotation or make it appear levelled. Remove and automatically replace a tripod or produce an interesting ‘planet-like’ effect.
Time saving tools
Reduce repetition and accelerate complex photo-editing actions with Scripts. Record a series of edits as a script to apply to any photo, anytime. Automate edits on multiple photos at once with batch processing like adding a watermark, picture frame, or simply resizing.
Layers and masks
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.
Text tools
Add text to images to create interesting projects, like a meme or a picture quote. Adjust fonts, size, style, alignment, leading, and kerning with a complete set of typography tools.
Drawing, painting and fill tools
Paint with built-in brushes, or import Adobe Photoshop brushes to make your design ideas come true. Draw with vector illustration tools, and experiment with plenty of color palettes, gradients, patterns, and picture tubes to take your designs to the next level.
AI-powered tools
Enlarge an image without unwanted distortion with AI Upsampling, quickly remove artifacts and noise from your photos with AI Artifact Removal or AI Denoise, stylize your photos with artistic effects using AI Style Transfer, and seamlessly replace the image background with AI Background Replacement.
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 empty areas.
One-click corrections, Depth of Field, and Selective Focus
Let One Step Photo Fix automatically apply color and sharpening corrections or use Smart Photo Fix to fine-tune settings for a perfect photo. 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 mode.
Portrait and retouching tools
Eliminate red-eye, blemishes, and unwanted lines, or smooth wrinkles, whiten teeth, and even out skin tones with Makeover and retouching tools. Also, create professional-looking portraits with AI Portrait Mode that automatically analyzes and applies a complimentary bokeh blur to the background of your image.
Instant effects
Preview a variety of preset photo effects such as Film Styles, Black & White, Landscape, Retro, Traditional, and Artistic, or stack multiple effects for even more impact. Browse hundreds of effects, including 3D, artistic, illumination and reflection, to add drop shadows and borders to images, or turn photos into a sketch or painting.
Extensive file compatibility
Easily import, save, and export in a variety of supported file formats so you won’t experience any disruptions.
Photo management
Preview, organize, and streamline your photo-editing workflow in PaintShop Pro Portable’s Manage workspace. Add keyword tags to your photos, create catalogs, make edits to multiple photos at once, and review metadata and file information.
