PaintShop Pro is an advanced image editor developed by Corel. It has support for both raster and vector graphics. PaintShop Pro provides plenty of tools to its users, ranging from simple ones such as color correction and noise removal, to more sophisticated ones such as scripting and batch image processing, to cutting-edge advanced technologies like AI-powered content-aware editing.
PaintShop can work with RAW files from hundreds of different camera models, create HDR images by combining several pictures, automatically adjust and correct certain image issues, and much more. It is a very capable editor with a long history – the first version was released in 1990. Over all these years, the developers had time to not only add all these features, but also to refine them to work near-perfectly, with the precision of a true professional tool.
There is, however, a flaw in this program. To this day, PaintShop has never been available on anything other than Windows. And while the developers likely feel that porting PaintShop to other platforms would not be worth it, that doesn’t change the fact that there are people who want to run PaintShop Pro on Mac. Thankfully, there are a few ways to do so – learn about them in the guide below.
