Corel Before and After competition

Press Release:

Corel is delighted to announce a new Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI Before and After competition. This summer, we want you to show us how far you can go improving a photo using Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI.

Paint Shop Pro Photo users, photography hobbyists and enthusiasts alike are welcome to enter the competition and have the opportunity to win the grand prize - a Canon EOS 400D 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 XI—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 XI, you can edit the photo as required / 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 using one of the methods suggested on the above-mentioned website

We have also provided you with a tips and tricks tutorial 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.

Even use the Time Machine feature to make photos look like they were taken in another era or processed using historical photo development processes from the 1830s to the 1980s.

So, get photo-editing today and enter our competition for your chance to win.
