• Color Adjustments: Adjust photo colors with basic controls like brightness, contrast and exposure, as well as advanced controls like multi-channel curves and wheel-based color balance.

• Retouching: Erase objects, clone parts of photos, lighten or darken areas with a few brushstrokes.

• RAW Editing: Can handle RAW photos from more than 600 digital cameras, letting you edit directly without conversion.

• Vector Tools: Create designs that scale without pixelation with easily editable smart shapes and support for vector file formats like PSD, SVG and PDF.

• Layer-Based Editing: Build compositions and designs with the nondestructive, flexible building blocks of shape, text, video and image layers.

• Painting: Includes a library of handcrafted, dual-texture brushes and full support for graphics tablets for detailed painting.

• Machine Learning Enhancements: Use ML Enhance, Super Resolution, Match Colors, Denoise and more to intelligently enhance and edit images.
