ArcSoft PhotoStudio 5 -

ArcSoft PhotoStudio® 5 is the perfect photo editor for both beginners and enthusiasts. It boasts the high-end features needed to perform sophisticated image manipulation procedures and presents itself with a user interface that is simple, intuitive and completely customizable.

Image layering
Layering allows multiple images to be "stacked" and stored in one single file. By layering images, you can effectively blend several images together, hide or display each separate layer, modify groups of layers without affecting those that do not need editing, and create multiple, fully editable text strings. Layers can even be modified with a "soft edge" or drop shadow.

Broad range of enhancing tools
With a wide palette of enhancement options, color correction and image modification is made possible with minimal effort. An "auto enhance" may do the job in itself, performing several color / contrast functions that liven most digital images. Options include image brightness and contrast; hue, saturation, tone, color reduction and balance; and much more. View and enhance 48-bit images, too.

Special effects
Various special effects instantly transform your images into a multitude of unique creations. Use the "old photo" option to give a photo an old, worn sepia tone. Add various weather and lighting effects to completely change an image's tone and mood. Make photos melt. Twist and contort them in unusual ways.


Cloning
Select a "clone source" on any image or layer, and then paint with your mouse on another image or layer, using the clone source as your inkwell. This tool is perfect for copying a foreground object from one image to another and removing foreground artifacts. Set the image background as your clone source and paint over power lines and other unwanted objects.
