What Can It Do?

Just about everything ... The main difference with respect to a professional software package basically regards colour settings, four-colour printing and highly precise colorimetric correction. These are features that the well-informed amateur does not really need for the Web. Here is a brief outline of what Paint Shop Pro can do for you:

• image capture;
  
  
• import images from a scanner or digital camera;
  
  
• framing, silhouetting;
  
  
• image re-sizing
  
  
• editing using copy/paste and layers;
  
  
• button creation;
  
  
• animated GIF creation;
  
  
• special effects (drop shadows, embossing);
  
  
• brightness, contrast, colour balance correction;
  
  
• an export function with around 30 graphics formats;
  
  

and a multitude of other functions that we intend to make you discover.
