Express editing and workflow tools

DSLR cameras have revolutionized photography, putting pro-level cameras in the hands of everyday users. But with the widespread adoption of high-quality, high-frame-rate DSLRs, photo enthusiasts are faced with a challenge: How does one manage the large number of photos that can be captured so easily? And once photos are on a PC, how can an aspiring hobbyist improve them and create something memorable? PaintShop Photo Pro X3 answers the needs of today's photo enthusiasts by providing features to create a custom digital photography workflow and effectively manage their photo library. And with tools for quickly correcting the most common imperfections and easily creating a variety of photo projects, users can ensure they make the most of their images.

PaintShop Photo Pro X3 provides a wide variety of improvements to enhance today's digital photography workflow. The Organizer lets users customize their digital workflow with a variety of image-previewing options and time-saving multi-photo editing. The Camera RAW Lab helps digital photographers make critical adjustments to RAW images before they're processed. In addition, the enhanced Express Lab gives instant access to the many frequently used photo-editing tools.

Advanced features and performance

PaintShop Photo Pro X3 builds on a tradition of providing top-of-the-line functionality at an affordable price by offering new tools and features that you'd expect to find in more expensive image-editing and photo-workflow software. The ability to work with a wide range of RAW formats, include HD video along with photos in slide shows, and HDR photo merge and tone mapping make PaintShop Photo Pro X3 an incredible value and uniquely suited to the broad needs of the photo enthusiast. New image-scaling and object-extraction tools and support for industry-standard plug-in effects put PaintShop Photo Pro X3 on par with pro-quality applications on just about every level--except the price tag.

VideoStudio Pro X3

Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 dramatically accelerates the video production process. Enhanced performance and an improved end-to-end production workflow ensure that video producers can create high-quality video projects faster than ever before. Thanks to an intuitive toolset, professional-quality content and outstanding visual effects, video enthusiasts can now focus on the creative aspects of movie making, not the technical.

Work at the speed of creativity

One of the main obstacles that hobbyists faced--even only a few years ago--was the processing power that video editing demanded. The typical home computer just wasn't up to it, and at times that made video editing and media authoring slow and frustrating. But with the emergence of powerful, inexpensive processors and technologies that get the most out of Graphics Processing Units (GPU), video-capable PCs are becoming mainstream.

The over-arching goal in the development of VideoStudio Pro X3 was to eliminate creative hurdles. Enhanced speed and performance goes a long way towards that goal. When users aren't sidetracked and distracted by the logistics of getting the job done, video production can become a creative outlet.

VideoStudio Pro X3 performs many common tasks more than two times faster than VideoStudio Pro X2 thanks to optimization for new, high-powered chipsets, such as Intel Core i7, improved multi-core and GPU parallel processing, an enhanced toolset, and a streamlined workflow.

Stunning results with minimal effort

Until very recently, producing professional-quality video required expensive tools and time-consuming training and practice. But as HD capture and playback devices become increasingly affordable, end-to-end creation of high-quality video is within the reach of a growing number of enthusiasts.

Further, with the inexpensive, high-quality video cameras available today, achieving great-looking video shouldn't require deep artistic talent or hours of work. VideoStudio Pro X3 provides a wide variety of templates, content, and effects that can make amazing movie projects a reality for anyone with a video camera and the notion to use it. A wide range of creative effects in VideoStudio Pro X3 give advanced users more tools than ever to work magic with video.

Serious tools that are fun to use

Great end results are always the focus for enthusiasts, and they view video editing as a creative outlet--not just a process. With that in mind, VideoStudio Pro X3 isn't just an editing suite, but also a video canvas with a huge palette of features, effects, and options that enthusiasts can use to indulge their imagination.

Video and slideshows from Facebook to Blu-ray

After video enthusiasts wrap up a movie project, they typically want to show it off, so VideoStudio Pro X3 makes it easier than ever to share videos and slideshows. In a few clicks, projects can be shared online, to mobile devices, or to disc. Adding to the outstanding value of the software, VideoStudio Pro X3 includes a full media-authoring application, Corel DVD Factory Pro 2010, giving users the ability to burn in standard definition (SD), high definition (HD) and Blu-ray Disc (BD), and transcode between multiple devices and formats.
