July 2007 main meeting

Richard Dodd, from Corel Australia,was at this months main meeting to showcase Paint Shop Pro XI.
Corel took over Paint Shop Pro from Jasc several versions ago and have further developed the product.
Richard’s demonstration showed Paint Shop Pro to be a very professional product which has retained all the easy and simplicity of the original Jasc product.

This feature rich program has retained the basic tasks the average user would want, photo editing, red reduction, cropping and printing. They have added some new features such as a depth of field tool which highlights a part of the photo and fades the rest to simulate a short aperture depth of field effect. For the more advanced user it is enhanced with truly professional tools such as full histogram and curve colour correction editing.

This photo from the presentation shows how easy it is to remove a scratch or blemish from a photo. The outside circle samples the color in that area of the photo. The inside circle replaces the scratch with the sample taken from the outside circle. That sample is not a single pixel sample so the color of your fix looks natural not painted.

 

One impressive feature was painting which allowed you to create a photomontage, taking a plain photo and turning it into a Picasso. Richard spoke of a number of professional photographers who purchased the product just for that feature.
