Features

Comprehensive Watermarking

Protect and promote your work with versatile Watermarking features. Deter unauthorized copying, brand your photos with your logo or contact info, or add text and graphics. Apply watermarks to individual photos or batches, and easily adjust size, rotation, position, transparency and more.

Highlight Recovery

Regain more of the detail and tone from your overexposed photos with enhanced Highlight Recovery. Powered by a new algorithm, this feature lets you access more of the data in your RAW files for superior image quality.

Blemish Remover

Save time and edit faster by doing more touchups and photo corrections in AfterShot Pro 3, rather than jumping to PaintShop Pro or Adobe Photoshop. The new Blemish Remover offers circle, brush, polygon and freehand tools for detailed editing, making portrait editing faster and easier. Remove dust, spots, smudges and a variety of imperfections on any photo.

Image Preset Library

Now it's easier to tap into the power of presets to automate more of your repetitive processing jobs or quickly reproduce a look that would otherwise be tedious to replicate. The new Image Preset Library lets you browse, preview and download free and for-purchase presets.

It won't open a raw file at all. You try to get tech support. They create a ticket that someone gets back to you in 24-48 hrs with an insane question. You reply. They respond with something equally stupid like a link to their getting started video. As if you are too stupid to think of doing that first. It's been a vicious cycle for the few months I've had it.

So lie #1 is not raw file friendly. My camera is a Canon. I tried to open old Nikon raws just to see if that was by some chance the issue. Nope. Do not buy this software. The customer service is atrocious. The software is atrocious. The tech support is atrocious. I have done advance tech support and I can't fix it and they don't want to.

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2021
It’s very complicated to use. So far editing, at least for me, has been difficult. I learn more every time I use it, but still struggling. Help manuals haven’t been much help either. Could just be me.

1.0 out of 5 stars This corral software is not for use with pro level Nikon cameras or pro level cameras!
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2022
This software does not support pro level cameras for example I have a Nikon D8 50 and a Nikon D800 E in this software does not support those cameras. I don’t know what the Canon equivalent to these cameras are but I’m sure it does not support those cameras either.
Do not bother with this software it is no good and apparently is nonrefundable! G interface for this software is easy to use but it is not for pro level cameras.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2017
Not going to be as good as light room or some of the more expensive editing software but very solid. Has many of the same key tools. A bit slow however, and the picture being displayed in the program is slightly off of what it looks like in other viewing programs which is frustrating because I have to go back and retouch sometimes because I thought a picture looked they way I wanted it to but it really didn't. Good HDR program as well.

I found the user interface to be difficult. I use a number of Corel products with much success. I don’t find this program easy to learn or use.

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2023
This software was a true disappointment. I downloaded it to a compatable windows 10 OS. It meets all OS other requirements. As soon as it is downloaded I get the message that it is already running and its not. Thus it will not open. Tried changing compatibility several ways through windows, still not opening. Waste of money with no refund available.
