  • Crop, straighten, stitch and scale

    Improve composition by cropping images, or correct crooked photos interactively with the Straighten tool. Use Smart Carver to edit without distorting content, and stitch images together to create a single, large image.

  • Correct distortion

    Use the interactive Perspective Correction tool to adjust the perspective of buildings, landmarks, or objects in photos. You can also easily remove pincushion and barrel distortions introduced by your camera lens.

Retouch

  • Remove unwanted areas and imperfections

    Use the Smart Carver to paint over an area and eliminate unwanted photo elements. Try the Healing Clone tool to remove imperfections, or the Red-Eye Removal tool to eliminate red pixels from eyes.

  • Sharpen, blend and blur

    Reveal image details with sharpening filters, effects and brushstrokes. Remove artifacts with the help of artificial intelligence, and soften transitions between colors or hard edges with blend, smear and smudge tools.

Adjust

Adjust

  • Correct color and tone

    Open the Adjustments to correct color balance and tone issues. Adjust temperature, tint, saturation, brightness, and contrast manually or automatically. You can also use a histogram to adjust tone interactively, or make changes to color channels directly.

  • Use adjustment filters for greater control

    Filters offer greater control over the image correction process and allow adjustments to color and tone. Apply a filter to an entire image, an object layer, or an editable area of an image.

Composite

Composite

  • Work with Objects

    Increase your image editing capabilities by using Objects, which are independent image elements layered on top of one another. Edit Objects without affecting other objects or the background of an image.

  • Use Clip masks

    Adjust the properties of a group of objects without modifying the objects within the group by creating a clip mask. For example, you can adjust the transparency levels for the whole group without altering the pixels of the individual objects.

Mask

  • Isolate image areas

    Edit and adjust specific areas of your image without affecting the rest of your photo. Try the Smart Selection tool to quickly and accurately select around parts of your image you want to modify.

  • Cut out images

    Use mask tools to cut and paste regions of your image, as well as apply transformations, like rotate, mirror, scale and more. Or try the Cutout Lab to remove image areas from the background while preserving edge detail.

Effects

Effects and text

  • Apply special effects

    Corel PHOTO-PAINT includes special effects filters and camera effects that let you apply an array of transformations to images. Try AI-powered Art Style effects to transform photos into paintings, abstract art, and more.

  • Work non-destructively

    Apply, modify and experiment with effects on an object, all without altering it. The Effects is your hub for non-destructive editing.

Text

Effects and text

  • Add text to images

    Add text to images and create interesting text effects. Fitting text to a path lets you place text along an uneven line for compelling compositions. Fill text with textures, patterns and more.

    Enjoy unprecedented font flexibility, thanks to variable font support. Interactively experiment with font properties, such as width, weight and slant, to precisely fine-tune the look of text in your designs.

Paint and draw

Paint and draw

    Apply brushstrokes to images that imitate watercolors, felt markers, and more. Or paint with bitmaps using the Image Sprayer tool. Use a pen or stylus to vary the brushstroke appearance with pressure, tilt, bearing, and rotation.

  • Draw, color and fill

    Create or modify images with a variety of drawing, color and fill tools. Fill objects, editable areas, and images with colors, patterns, and textures. Use industry-standard color palettes, color mixers, and color models.
