Editable QuickShapes
Easy to create, easy to change! Simply drag sliders to morph chevrons, hearts, badges, teardrops, moons, zigzags, and many more... apply layer effects and gradient fills... and edit any shape at any time.
Browse Image Files and Folders
The built-in Image Browser rapidly displays image thumbnails- a folder at a time-so you can preview clip art or saved work and inspect file details in a convenient, Explorer-style interface.
Unique Selection Options
PhotoPlus goes well beyond the basic rectangle and lasso tools, adding more than a dozen completely customizable selection shapes like polygons, spirals, and stars. Or define a selection shaped like text—using any font and style! Advanced options let you fine-tune the selection and its properties for smoother blends and precise effects.
Stamp and Spray
Use Picture Brushes to lay down colorful arrays of single or multiple mini-images: realistic machine cogs, colorful tubes, falling leaves, flowers, jelly beans, jewels, raindrops, marbles, planets, and more...
Powerful Image Export Optimizer
The Export Optimizer lets you see how your image will look (and how much space it will take up) before you save it! Its multi-window display provides side-by-side WYSIWYG previews of image quality at various output settings, so you can make the best choice every time.
Web Animation Tools
It's easy and fun to create or edit animations for the Web. You can import and export animated GIFs, apply special effects, even let PhotoPlus create entire animations for you automatically.
Editable Text
Add formatted color text to an image, reposition and scale it, integrate it with your design. Text layers keep the contents separate so you can go back and alter the words or formatting at any time!
Special Erase Options
Need to remove that blue sky and leave the clouds? Use the Flood Eraser to fill the blue regions with transparency. Want to isolate a shape from a flat color background? The Background Eraser samples pixels under the brush, so only unwanted colors drop out.
Image Enhancement
Apply professional, darkroom-style color and histogram adjustments to your images. Employ the Blur and Sharpen tools to enhance or reduce local detail... blend multiple layers more cleanly. There's even a dedicated tool for removing "red eye" from flash photos.
Special Effects, Image Correction Filters
A wild and whimsical assortment for instant creativity! Powerful image correction functions for fingertip control over tones and colors. Add Shadow, Bevel, Emboss layer effects for a sophisticated 3D look on text or other image elements. PhotoPlus supports third-party Photoshop® plug-ins, and even lets you design your own custom filters.
Editable Adjustment Layers
Not only apply color corrections and special effects, but store each change on a separate layer. To fine-tune any adjustment later, just click its layer and change the settings!
Versatile Deform and Warp Tools
"Swiss Army Knife" of image tools, Deform lets you rotate, resize, skew, reshape, or add perspective to any selection or layer. Warp tools pull, stretch, and distort image details, or shrink and enlarge. Pixels turn to putty with the Mesh Warp tool! Use a customizable grid of points and lines to bend images with precision.
Gradient Fills
Take your pick of radial, linear, conical, or square fills—perfect for masking, to hide or reveal parts of your photo using smooth graduated blends to transparency. (Of course, there's standard flood fill as well.)
Image Slicing and Image Maps
Now it's not just the pros who can use these techniques to add links to Web graphics! Simply click to divide images into segments—each with its own hyperlink and popup text—or add hotspots to specific regions. PhotoPlus outputs the HTML code and lets you preview the results directly in your Web browser.
Advanced Tools and Features
Built-in support for most pressure-sensitive graphics tablets. RGB, CMYK, HSV, and Grayscale color modes. Robust and convenient layer management with pop-up preview and masking support.
Professional Output Options
Output using CMYK separations or print directly to your desktop printer with powerful controls. Include registration marks, crop marks, file information, grayscale and color bars, and tile or scale your output if required.
Productive MDI Interface
Open and view multiple images and edit them simultaneously. Dockable, floating tab windows work in conjunction with convenient toolbars. The Navigator and Layer Manager provide full control over all regions and planes.
