Support for Real-Time Stylus (RTS)
You can use your RTS-compatible pen tablet or device to capture whatever inspires you on the fly. Support for the Windows Real-Time Stylus
delivers truly responsive pressure sensitivity and tilt and gives you full control of your brushstrokes in CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT.
What’s more, there’s no stylus driver to install, so you can get to work right away. For more information, see “Using pressure-sensitive pens
and devices” on page 313.
Healing Clone
It’s easier than ever to ensure that your photo subjects always look their best thanks to the new Healing Clone tool. It discreetly removes
unwanted spots and imperfections from an image by painting with sampled texture and matching it to the color of the area that you’re
retouching. In a few clicks, you can seamlessly repair and blend a blemish or scar into the rest of the photo.
Correct perspective distortions
With the enhanced Straighten Image dialog box in CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT, you can correct perspective distortions in photos
that have straight lines and flat surfaces. Now in a few clicks, you can easily fix photos of buildings, landmarks, or objects that appear in
the wrong perspective or that were taken from an angle other than directly in front. For more information, see “Correcting perspective
distortions” on page 135.
Gaussian Blur lens
The Gaussian Blur special effect in Corel PHOTO-PAINT is now available as a lens, so you can blur images without overwriting the original
image. When you create a lens, the changes you make are non-destructive, so any edits are displayed on the screen through the lens rather
than applied to the image pixels. The lens is created as a separate object on a layer above the image background so you can edit the lens
and the background image separately, maintaining the original’s data and quality.
Personalize
Feel right at home with all of your favorite tools! Adapt your design space to your needs with the updated interface and custom icon size,

easily handle, organize, and explore your typeface and font collections by giving you the tools to control every aspect of your typography
workflow. Whether you want to find and install fonts for your projects, organize fonts for easy access, or manage unneeded fonts, Corel
