Many of X7’s key dialogs are shiny and new, making good use of the generous amounts of screen real estate most modern computers offer.

Much like Photoshop, PaintShop Pro has a long and storied history-and it shows in the interface. The Edit tab is where serious photo manipulation takes place. It’s interactive, so you just click whatever you’re interested in, and the relevant dialog opens up. There’s a Magic Wand, layers, a sophisticated color picker, and most important-a Learning Center that takes you through the basics. Click it, and you find yourself in a complete and powerful image editor.

If photo-wide effects aren’t what you’re after, you need the Edit tab. For full-photo edits and color tweaks, you may not need to go farther than the Adjust tab.
