The popular photo editor and manager Zoner Photo Studio X has gained several unique new features just in time for Christmas. With its winter update, it has become the first Windows editor in the world to support the opening and saving of HEIF files. The new Smoothing Brush and Structure Cloning features in its Develop module make it easy to retouch portraits quickly while keeping them natural-looking. The Polarization feature helps users get more detailed clouds, and meanwhile the increased freedom for photo books lets them unlock their imagination.

With a smart choice of exposure time and camera settings, you can give photos a bit more of yourself, and make your pictures flavorful and exceptional. Gone are the days when photos had to be perfectly sharp.

The Zoner Photo Studio X photo editing and managing software launches an autumn update that culminates one year from its first publication. The non-destructive Develop module has acquired a retouching tool whose abilities highly surpass other editors´ tools. The new adjustment layers in the Editor module make it easier for users to experiment with exposure, curves, and levels. ZPS X also enables full-fledged trimming of videos, which can be combined with photos and music.

In Zoner Photo Studio it’s easy to create a video with your high-resolution photos and your choice of music or spoken commentary. This is a stunning way to show off your photos.
