NEW! Smart cutting options

Thanks to the expanded cropping tool, cropping is now even easier and more precise. In addition to the “normal” length and width dimensions, you can now crop photos to specific aspect ratios or pixel dimensions – naturally with live feedback as you adjust the size and position of the crop frame.

With the “Canvas Trim” function, transparent areas around the edges of an image can be directly removed, leaving only the actual image. This only requires that your image be on a transparent background.

NEW! A new surface blur for perfect portraits and restoration of damaged photos

With the new surface blur, perfect portraits are a breeze. This feature eliminates imperfections and unwanted lines, smooths wrinkles, and evens skin tone, without destroying important details.

Surface blur is the perfect complement to digital makeup effects for correcting skin imperfections, whitening teeth, and correcting red eyes.

Surface blur can also be used to spice up old photos and improve low-light images by removing noise and film grain. In combination with the clone tool, scratches, blemishes, and creases can also be removed from old photographic treasures.

NEW! Expanded HSL adaptation

Thanks to advanced HSL adjustment, you can now fine-tune the hue, saturation, and relative brightness of your images with even greater precision. Since most objects contain multiple shades of color, the new HSL eyedropper tool lets you easily add and subtract any colors you want to see, allowing you to naturally alter the appearance of different objects.

NEW! “Remove Color Fringes” Function: Lightning-fast cleaning of cropped content margins

Thanks to the new “Remove Color Fringes” function, the edges of clipped content can be cleaned up in a flash. This trick is perfect if you want to insert objects onto a new layer or place them on a high-contrast background.

The image patterns can, of course, be cut out and separated from their background. The improved background eraser now offers even more options, and thanks to the Clipping Studio, the Transparency Eraser, and various selection tools, you can quickly and easily locate all the areas you need.

NEW! Layers – the easy way to fantastic images

Managing your image layers can now be even more intuitive. You can add new layers and layer groups in a flash, combine multiple images as layers, and transform photos into creative collages.

The new “Linear Burn” and “Linear Light” blending modes offer even more possibilities for creative work with layers and photos.

NEW! The new standard of superior quality

Now, your workflow becomes even more professional thanks to support for 16-bit plug-ins and an extensive range of built-in 16-bit effects. RAW photos can be easily imported from your digital camera and then edited in 16-bit before exporting. Unlike other image editing programs, PhotoPlus doesn’t reduce the quality of your images and ensures consistently professional results.
