AI Style Transfer in PaintShop Pro
With PaintShop Pro 2019, Corel released an add-on program called Pic-to-Painting. It was separate from PaintShop Pro and could add some unique effects to photos. With PaintShop Pro 2020, a new workspace was added, called Photography, and it included some instant effects that a user could apply to their photos for a different look. With PaintShop Pro 2021, however, Corel decided to include the effects from Pic-to-Painting along with the Instant effects in the Photography workspace, giving the users even more options, right inside the program.

But there is still a lot more you can adjust to suit your own style.

A large part of the projects in this Campus is about digital scrapbooking, and although you can learn how to create your own supplies, you might have already collected some, or might find great deals in ready-made papers, elements, templates, kits and such. You might not realize it, but those supplies you gather tend to add up very quickly, and if you don't have a reasonable organization, you will waste a lot of time looking for the perfect paper, ribbon, button, etc. So, let's make it simpler and faster for you.
