Corel has introduced PaintShop Pro 2021 and PaintShop Pro 2021 Ultimate, an all-in-one photo editing and graphic design suites built for producing impressive images, sophisticated photo composites, and compelling designs.

“PaintShop Pro 2021 makes it easy for our users to create images that were virtually impossible to achieve in their favorite photo editor before. Whether you’re eliminating noise and artifacts, upsampling, or exploring incredible art styles, these new AI tools not only give you exciting creative options but they also dramatically speed up the editing process,” said Chris Pierce, Senior Product Manager, Corel Photo. “Every photographer knows the frustration of coming back from an amazing shoot and discovering you have hours of seemingly uninspired corrections to make before you can start your creative editing. This latest version introduces new possibilities so you can focus on the expressive elements of photography that you love.”

New features include

  • AI Upsampling easily enlarges or zooms in on any photo without compromising resolution or visual quality.
  • AI Artifact Removal quickly removes JPEG artifacts and distortion in images with machine-learned algorithms.
  • AI Denoise removes random variation of brightness and color in images and clear up any unwanted noise to ensure every photo is crisp and clear.
  • Transform photos into dramatic works of art with this new AI-based style transfer technology. Experiment with new presets designed to replicate famous artistic styles using a variety of media types.
  • PaintShop Pro 2021 workspace

    The re-designed Photography Workspace gives access to all the tools, AI-powered features, and creative presets you need in a sleek and intuitive environment. This workspace is also compatible with touch and Ultra HD 4K devices.

  • Available exclusively in PaintShop Pro 2021 Ultimate, the Sea-to-Sky Workspace enables you to explore the incredible worlds of drone and underwater photography with tools specifically built for these unique types of images. Make flawless corrections and creative improvements, reliving your most memorable moments in remarkable new ways.
