MAIDENHEAD, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwired) -- 09/04/13 -- Editors Note: There are four photos and a video associated with this press release.

Today Corel announced the availability of PaintShop® Pro X6 Ultimate. Thanks to the addition of 64-bit support, X6 is the most powerful version to date. Improvements in speed and performance, plus interface refinements and new quick selection tools help photographers achieve their best results - fast.

"PaintShop Pro X6 Ultimate is rooted in Corel's sincere desire to build a product that helps users create their best photos ever. The most effective way to achieve this was to go right to the source," said Rick Champagne, Senior Product Manager, Corel Photo and Video. "X6 was developed based on our extensive customer research. Our users told us they want 64-bit power, faster performance, an improved user interface, and continued availability of a perpetual license, so we delivered them. Now we not only offer the most robust feature set in the space, but also the professional power to back it."

Improvements in PaintShop Pro X6 Ultimate originate from the most extensive research study in the product's history. Corel researchers drew from a base of over 2.6 million PaintShop Pro users, learning that more power, more speed and improved usability were the changes users most wanted to see in X6.

New 64-Bit Power Drives Acceleration Application-Wide

The leap to 64-bit has dramatically accelerated key features. Performance gains include:

--  Superior performance: 64-bit dramatically improves the power of
    PaintShop Pro X6, delivering more performance, speed, and stability in
    users' favorite features. For example, when compared to X5, 64- bit
    PaintShop Pro X6 saw a 78% performance increase in cataloguing JPG
    images. For more information on performance gains please refer to page
    17 of the Reviewer's Guide www.corel.com/newsroom.

--  New! Memory management: Opening and saving files and applying effects is
    accelerated in both 32- and 64-bit versions of X6. Both are included
    with every purchase.

--  New! Open more and larger images faster: With X6 users can open larger
    files and more files - upward of 50 - with ease. This significantly
    improves performance in batch processing, multi-layer compositing work
    and HDR processing.

--  Enhanced! Support for Adobe Photoshop plug-ins: PaintShop Pro X6 now
    supports many 64-bit Adobe Photoshop plug-ins in addition to Photoshop
    format (.psd) images and Photoshop format (.abr) brushes.

New Tools Improve on Workflow

New selection tools make traditionally tedious editing tasks a breeze allowing users to focus on the creative side of editing.

--  New! Smart Selection Brush: This new brush enables the selection of
    objects based on a brushstroke. Users simply paint over an object to
    select it.


--  New! Auto Selection tool: The new auto selection tool lets users enclose
    an image area in a bounding rectangle that automatically detects and
    snaps to the edge. It's quick and simple, accelerating common selection
    tasks.

Professional Level Plug-ins Add Additional Value to PaintShop Pro X6 Ultimate

Corel's flagship photo editor, PaintShop Pro X6 Ultimate also includes a number of photo editing extras, adding extra value.

- Perfectly Clear: available for the first time in PaintShop Pro Ultimate, the award-winning plug-in by Athentech Imaging, saves users time by delivering advanced, one-click image corrections based on 10 years of scientific research.
