What's New
New! Express Lab
This super-fast Photo Fixing mode will save you hours. Now you can edit dozens of photos in the time it used to take to edit just a few. Breeze through folders full of photos to perform common photo-editing tasks, without having to wait for each individual photo to open. For example, crop, rotate, remove red eye and straighten an entire folder full of photos at once.
New! Graphite Workspace Theme
As soon as you launch the program, your new workspace appears, featuring a darker theme that makes your photos really stand out. For people who prefer the classic interface, switch back with just a few clicks.
New! HDR Photo Merge
Easily create photos that give you full detail in the shadows and highlights. HDR Photo Merge helps you combine 2 or more photos taken at different exposures, then automatically dodge and burn to bring out the contrast.
New! Layer Styles
Easily add special effects, such as drop shadows, embossing, outer and inner glows, bevels and reflections, to your text, photos and creative projects. The best part is, if you make any changes to the layer, the effect is automatically changed to match.
New! Visible Watermarks
Whether you're a professional photographer or someone who wants to share your photos online, it's a good idea to add a discrete custom watermark to remind those viewing your pictures who the photographer was.
New! Picture Tubes™ & Picture Frames
Get creative with over 30 brand new, professionally designed Picture Tubes and 30 new Picture Frames, including an exclusive new set for people who upgrade.
A longtime user favorite, Picture Tubes let you paint on photos with a collection of professionally designed artistic elements. For example, add butterflies and beetles to a picnic setting or fill an aquarium with fish.
Enhanced! Black & White Film Conversion
Create dynamic black & white photos by simulating the effects of shooting black & white film with colored filters.
Now you can select from a virtually infinite range of color combinations. This gives you full creative control of the Channel Mixer command, but in a far simpler interface. Plus, you can adjust brightness and apply Clarify to further enhance the black & white effect.
New & Improved! Makeover Tools
Quickly and easily touch up the appearance of your subjects to help everyone look their best in photos. This professional-strength tool contains the following modes:
