What’s New in PaintShop Pro 2023?

Behind every show-stopping image is real intelligence. Highly effective features and tools powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning technology make creating something truly original, and achievable with this photo editing software.

AfterShot Lab

Enjoy powerful and complete editing of RAW files with a great variety of pro-level tools available in the new AfterShot Lab, now inside PaintShop Pro. There is no need for extra applications or for running several editing processes in parallel, with time-saving and streamlined RAW image editing.

Frame Tool

Enrich the visual stories your images tell! Create shapes (clipped masks) 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 shapes with images, patterns, or colors to achieve certain effects–surrealistic, avant-garde, playful, or any other.

Focus Stacking

Go crisp and clear with new Focus Stacking allowing to blend multiple images of the same scene, taken at different focus distances, to create a final composite with a greater depth of field (DOF) than any of the individual source images.

Real-time Blend Mode preview

Take advantage of the new real-time Blend Mode preview to check layer blending results on the go by hovering over drop-list options in the Layers palette. Mix creatively and check on the fly with the user-friendly and intuitive Blend Mode tool.

Snap to Objects

In your projects, align objects with precision in no time with new Snap to Objects feature. Use the bounding box to precisely snap two objects together with an automated high-level control and avoid extra steps in the editing process.

Usability and Performance

Enjoy enhancements across the board! Explore the updated layout of "New from Template" page, now with more content visible, plus new "Filter" and "Sorting" options to arrange quick search of theme topic. Get perfect results with the precise rotation value input and the rotation angles control in vector editing. See a 30% performance improvement when using Refine Brush, get support for the latest cameras, and so much more!

Creative graphic design features

Discover a world full of creative possibilities to bring your dream designs to life.

Layers and masks

Layers and masks are essential for advanced image editing, compositing and graphic design. Use multiple, non-destructive layers when editing images to create photo composites with ease. Create masks to hide or show parts of a layer, fade between layers, and to create special effects with precision.

Text tools

Add text to images to create interesting projects, like a meme or a picture quote. Adjust fonts, size, style, alignment, leading, and kerning with a complete set of typography tools.

Drawing, painting and fill tools

Paint with built-in brushes, or import Adobe Photoshop brushes to make your design ideas come true. Draw with vector illustration tools, and experiment with plenty of color palettes, gradients, patterns, and picture tubes to take your designs to the next level.

Templates and Creative Content

Access a wide range of built-in templates to create collages, greeting cards, social media images, web banners, brochures, business cards and more. Work with various brushes, textures, patterns, and other in-product creative content —all ready for you to inspire new ideas and save time while producing next level designs.

Organize, save, and share your work

PaintShop Pro values not just your creativity, but also the practical aspects of saving, transferring, organizing, and sharing your assets.
