Advanced features and performance
New! Smart Carver: Using the Smart Carver, photo enthusiasts can
seamlessly and realistically remove photo objects and alter the aspect ratio
without distorting the rest of the image.
Smart Carver lets you remove objects and change the aspect ratio.
Improved performance: In recent years, the size of images being created by
digital cameras has grown significantly, making it critical for photo-editing
software performance to increase, too. PaintShop Photo Pro X3 has been
optimized for increased performance on PCs with multi-core processing,
ensuring a fast, efficient working environment. Two-pass processing provides a
faster preview of image adjustments, speeding up photo-editing. Many legacy
features have also been refined to offer enhanced speed and performance.
Support for more RAW formats: With improved camera RAW support,
users who shoot in RAW formats can choose from an expanded list of over 350
supported cameras. The list of supported formats is reviewed and updated
regularly as new cameras are released.
