Smartphones are equipped with more and more powerful cameras. However, it makes no sense to have powerful sensors and lenses on a mobile phone but not have the appropriate software to make them work.

Corel's PaintShop Pro (originally called Paint Shop) is a fully functional, easy-to-use professional digital photo editing and graphic designing software. Compared with PhotoShop, its significantly smaller file size, much flexibility, and faster and easier operation make it more popular. Even though in the aspects of comprehensiveness of functions and support for third-party plugins it is slightly inferior to PhotoShop.
