DIGITAL IMAGING SOLUTIONS
Novice and experienced users alike will benefit by the new easy-to-use automated photo enhancement features.

New features such as automatic colour balance, red-eye removal, and scratch removal speed the photo enhancement process while providing amazing results even a new user can quickly attain.

BUSINESS / HOME GRAPHICS USE
New features and enhancements in the drawing and illustration tools make graphics creation a snap. Editable vector shapes, lines, and text now support gradients, patterns, and textures on the fill and stroke styles. Brushes now support gradient, patterns, and textures -- a very unique feature that provides unique results.

The new Preset Shapes library offers a visual method to store and re-use editable objects such as logos, custom shapes, text and other graphics. The new styled line editor allows users to easily use and create custom dotted and dashed lines with arrowheads.

Paint Shop Pro 7 also includes many new enhancements designed to speed the graphics creation process, such as object grouping, alignment and distribution, snap-to grids and guides for easily positioning various painting and drawing elements, repeat last command, save workspace, and autoproofing.

WEB DESIGN
New built-in Web tools create image slices for faster downloads, assign URL links to image maps to, and provide rollover effects to change an object's appearance when the pointer is placed over it. Users may preview their graphics in standard Web file formats in up to three browsers - all within Paint Shop Pro. The new addition of the PNG file format to Paint Shop Pro's visual optimisation tool gives the user access to all supported Web file formats within one easy-to-use dialog.
