What’s new in Corel PaintShop Pro 2023

Make every shot your best shot with Corel PaintShop Pro 2023, an advanced photo editor delivering a versatile range of pro-level editing and graphic design tools along with time-saving AI-based solutions.

NEW! Haze Removal

Remove or reduce haze, fog, or smog in a photo in a couple of clicks. For more information, see Removing haze.

NEW! Interactive font sizing

Set font size quickly and easily right in the image window. For more information, see To create text.

NEW! Focus Stacking

Focus Stacking is a digital image processing technique that combines multiple shots of the same scene taken at different focus distances. You can choose exactly what areas in focus you want to keep or remove from each photo in the stack to produce a composite image that has a greater depth of field (DOF) than any of the individual source photos. For more information, see Combining photos with Focus Stacking.

Enhanced! Frame Tool

Create frames based on symmetrical and Preset Shapes or even vector text objects — or convert already existing vector objects and text into shapes — all with an enhanced Frame Tool. Then, fill them with images, patterns, or colors to achieve certain effects — surrealistic, avant-garde, playful, and more. For more information, see Placing images in shapes or text with the Frame Tool.

What’s more, you can now drag-and-drop a photo to replace an image already in a frame. For more information, see To replace an image in a frame.

New! AfterShot Lab

Enjoy powerful and complete editing of RAW files with pro-level tools in the new AfterShot Lab, now available in PaintShop Pro. For more information, see Using AfterShot Lab.

New! Blend Mode preview

Save time finding the right blend mode. You can now quickly preview layer blending simply by hovering your mouse pointer over an option in the Blend Mode drop-list in the Layers palette. For more information, see Blending layers.

New! Snap To Objects

Align objects with precision in no time with new Snap To Objects feature. Use the bounding box to precisely snap two objects together with automated, high-level control and avoid extra steps in the editing process. For more information, see To snap a vector object to another vector object.

Enhanced! Usability
