Corel’s new Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 software offers ease of use for both new and experienced photo editors, a new review has claimed.

Stephen Patrick, of gadget website pocket-lint.co.uk, said the software comes with a “comprehensive list of tools to get the grip of” but pointed out that it is “a relatively simple program” to operate.

“If you simply want to edit photos and leave it at that, the basic feature set allows you to do just that. However, there is enough here to allow the experienced, or simply the curious, to grow with their interest,” he added.

Tools designed to enhance the appearance of the people you have photographed, such as ‘thinify’ and tan functions are also included in the software, with Mr Patrick commenting: “While none of these may sound essential, your subjects may well appreciate the effort put into using them.”

On its website, Corel highlights the Express Lab feature which allows users to “edit dozens of photos in the time it used to take to edit just a few” and its new watermark tool, which allows snappers to brand their images as their own.
