PaintShop Pro

PaintShop Pro is Corel's photo editing and graphic design software for Windows, sold as a desktop application rather than a subscription service. It covers the full editing range, from correction and retouching through layers, masks, brushes and text, and adds graphic design tools for layouts and social assets. Recent releases fold in AI based features that handle slower tasks automatically, such as cleaning up and enhancing images, so routine corrections take fewer steps. The software suits photographers, hobbyists, small businesses and designers who want a one time purchase alternative to a subscription editor. The product family spans the standard edition, an Ultimate edition that bundles extra creative software, a Photo Video Bundle Ultimate that pairs it with VideoStudio Ultimate, PhotoMirage for turning a still image into a looping animation, and the ParticleShop brush plugin. The Ultimate edition adds MultiCam Capture 2.0 Lite for screen and camera recording, Painter Essentials 8 for digital painting including image based AI and cloning art, PhotoMirage Express and a pack of extra fonts. Business and education licensing is offered separately. Pricing is not shown in a readable form on the public pages. The buy pages localize both price and currency by language and region and quote amounts inclusive of tax, so no single figure applies everywhere and none is reproduced here. The site does state the commercial terms around a purchase: a 30 day free trial, a 30 day money back guarantee, and separate full and upgrade editions, where the upgrade price requires owning a previous licensed version and excludes academic, home and student, OEM and not for resale copies.
