Corel has released a free update to Paint Shop Pro Photo XI which extends Corel’s support for camera raw formats, including a significant improvement in the quality of imported raw images, enhanced support for IPTC metadata, and suport for additional camera models (Nikon D200, Sony DSC-F828, and Sony DSC-V3). Corel will continue to add support for new models in future updates of Paint Shop Pro Photo XI.
This update also features enhanced performance in many areas of the program, especially in the organizer and thumbnail generation features. Other key improvements include metadata support for video files, support for context menu items in the History Palette, and new modes for the Magic Wand and Flood Fill tools that make use of the new Color Changer Tool selection technology. Many issues have been fixed including saving 16-bit images as TIFF files, support for transparency when saving PNG files, retention of EXIF data when files are duplicated, and problems moving floating text.
