The new photo editing and painting tools in Paint Shop Pro 8 simplify complicated tasks. Now, novice and advanced users can produce professional results with power and ease.
Correct perspective
Fixing distorted perspective in photos is no longer a cumbersome task with the Perspective Correction tool. With this great timesaver distorted photos can be fixed by simply placing handles along the path to be corrected and the selection becomes rectangular.
Straighten photos
Straighten a tilted or crooked scan or photo without any guesswork using the Straighten tool. Your image is automatically fixed by positioning a guideline along an object that should be horizontal or vertical. Simultaneously crop your straightened image to save time.
Erase backgrounds
Unlike the regular Eraser tool, which erases all pixels under the brush, the precision Background Eraser detects and erases pixels along the strongest edge, making it a snap to remove background areas from your photographs. Even areas of fine detail, such as hair or grass, are detected and preserved.
Warp images
Use the Warp Brush to stretch, shrink, twist, or push your photos to create imaginative images. Or use the Mesh Warp to distort or alter an image using a mesh overlay on top of the image.
Paint naturally
Enjoy greater precision and control with the new Painting Engine. Now you can save custom brush tips to use with any brush tool or share with others. Plus expanded brush variance options deliver more flexibility and artistry to your mouse or digital tablet.
Edit Selection Mode
In this mode, selections are treated as a layer allowing you to use the raster painting, drawing tools, and effects to modify the selection marquee.
Selection Tools
Switch between selection modes to maximize each mode’s strengths, including the new Edge Seeker mode for more flexibility when creating a selection along weaker edges.
Mask Layers
Masks are created as grayscale adjustment layers, making it easy to create and edit masks to create stunning compositions.
Layer Groups
Group common elements of an image to be viewed, moved, or hidden as a single unit for ultimate control over layered images.
Pen Tool
Combines the Line tool and Node Edit features in a single tool, making vector-based illustration and editing easier than ever.
Text Tool
The redesigned Text tool, featuring character-by-character formatting and automatic on-screen text proofing, makes it easier to add text to your images.
