Corel PaintShop Pro X8 Features:

* Text wrapping. This tool allows you to instantly fill the selection area or vector object with text that automatically takes a given shape. Create interesting design elements for web graphics, posters, scrapbooking photo albums, brochures, collages and other projects.
• Magic Move. "Magic Move" allows you to speed up the editing process. When moving an object in an image, this new content-sensitive tool automatically fills the voids with a background texture. You just need to drag the selected area to a new location, and the remaining empty area will be automatically filled with a suitable background from the surrounding area.
* Batch processing mode. The updated batch processing mode allows you to quickly solve the problems of resizing images and applying watermarks, and also makes it possible to work with macros. It offers security features such as deleting file data and adding a watermark when data is output.
* Increased accuracy when creating selections. Precise selection creation tools are an indispensable component of photo editing software. PaintShop Pro X8 allows you to set the size of the selected area by entering height and width values. Alternatively, you can specify fixed aspect ratios for the selection area.
* Lens correction. Now, in the editing workspace and in the RAW File Lab, you can automatically apply lens correction tools to correct distortions, chromatic aberration and vignetting, which are common when working with most photo lenses.
* Support for 4K monitors. The combination of a new photo editor with a high-resolution monitor will allow you to emphasize every detail and reveal the true beauty of your photos. The new icons and improved interface are compatible with Ultra HD displays (up to 250% magnification with 4K resolution).
* More effective brushes. Thanks to an increase in the speed of the application by 40 - 120%, many brushes are now characterized by increased efficiency and sensitivity. In addition, the new maximum brush size (3000 pixels) allows you to cover a larger area faster.
* The "Auto-search edges" function. Increased productivity by up to 50% when using Automatic Edge Search. This function works with other tools and does not allow brush strokes to go beyond the boundaries of a certain area.
* Optimized layers. Absolutely indispensable for in-depth photo editing, composite image creation and graphic design development, layers have become even easier and more convenient to work with. It offers a quick search for the desired layer by name, merging selected layers and convenient deployment and collapse of layer groups.
* Form and text cropping tools. The tools "Shape Cropping Tool" and "Text Cropping Tool" allow you to instantly create photo objects where text and shape are used to crop the underlying image. The resulting object can be inserted or dragged onto another image as a new layer. The new preview of the crop tool provides a preview of the area even before the cut is applied.
* RAW File Lab. The RAW File Lab offers "Before" and "After" image views, as well as an enlarged preview window for more comfortable work. As usual, PaintShop Pro continues to add support for new camera models.

Tools for creating vector illustrations allow you to use preset shapes and pens, as well as place text along the path.
* Photo map. Track where and when photos were taken using the mapping feature of the images, using GPS data and Facebook geo-tags. The "Map" mode is integrated with Google Maps and allows you to place photos on the map, as well as view and organize a collection of images by location.
* The "Share your ride" feature. Use this tool to create a slideshow where pictures and comments are linked to places on an interactive map. Save your map as a slideshow or upload it directly to your Dropbox and Facebook accounts.
