Corel Before and After competition

Press Release:

Corel is delighted to announce a new Corel® Paint Shop Pro® Photo X2 ‘Before and After’ competition. This autumn, we want you to show us how far you can improve a photo using Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. Paint Shop Pro Photo users, photography consumers and enthusiasts alike are welcome to enter the competition and have the opportunity to win a prize - a Sony® Alpha 300 DSLR Camera.

To enter this fun new competition and have a chance to win this amazing prize, visit the Corel website and follow these four simple steps:

1. Download your free 30-day trial of the award-winning Corel® Paint Shop Pro® Photo X2—Corel's flagship digital imaging software package which provides easy-to-use, professional-quality photo editing at an affordable price
2. Go through your photos and choose the most dreadful photo that wasn't worthy of a place in your album
3. Now, the transformation can begin. Using your downloaded trial of Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, you can edit the photo as desired. Use the Unique Learning Centre for tips on what tools to use
4. When your work of art is complete and you are happy to reveal it, simply submit the two photos - both the 'before' and 'after' image by sending them to ‘beforeandafter@corel.co.uk’.

We have also provided you with video tutorials for that extra bit of help. There are some really simple edits that you can do, such as reducing red eye, removing blemishes, whitening teeth, adding a bit of a tan or removing objects out of photos. Choose from over 500 effects or why not be more adventurous and try the Skin Smoothing feature to remove wrinkles or change the colour of something within the photo such as clothing or an object with the Colour Changer.

So, get photo-editing today and enter our competition for your chance to win. All entries submissions must be in by Thursday 18th December 2008.
