How to remove glare from eyeglasses and other glass objects. Use the Editor Module, masks, and layers.

When taking pictures of people wearing glasses, you’ll often run into problems with glare, making it difficult to see your subject’s eyes.

If you choose the latter option, this tutorial is for you. We’ll be using the Editor Module and layers in Zoner Photo Studio X.

Stretch Your Photos to a Wide-angle Format. You Can Do It in the Editor With No Cropping or Losses

It’s often handy to have your photo cropped to a wide format. 16:9 photos, for example, are very striking and very popular. But ordinary cropping has its downsides too.

Working this way, you can create a wide-angle picture using some simple steps. With no cropping or losses. Take a look at how to do it.

Color Shift: Now for Local Edits Too! Introducing Local Color Shift and Curves Editing

With the addition of Color Shift this year, ZPS X gained a great new tool for adjusting any color needed throughout a photo.
