Complements DSLR Cameras, Provides New Creative Possibilities for Photographers

As high-performance DSLR and megazoom cameras have become mainstream, hobbyists have a wealth of creative options to explore their passion for photography. But the power of these cameras also presents challenges: amateur photographers are shooting more images than ever and image file sizes continue to grow, making organization and management a critical part of the digital photographer’s process. With these large collections of images, users need new ways to speed and simplify the selection and enhancement process. They also want to work with the HD video that’s now popular in their media mix. Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3 stands apart from other applications by combining editing, photo management and creative projects in a unique way that meets the needs of today’s enthusiast digital photographer.

“Photo enthusiasts are taking advantage of the amazing quality and power of today’s DSLR cameras and as a result, they need workflow and editing tools that were previously only available in professional photo applications,” said Craig Copley, Senior Product Manager for Corel PaintShop Photo Pro. “Now with Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3, organization, editing and creative projects have come together in a single, affordable package. Whether you’re quickly sorting and rating your favorites out of hundreds of photos or sharing using Facebook or Flickr, it’s never been faster to create professional-looking results.”
