Explaining the terms metadata and tokens to someone who’s never encountered them can be tricky. The Zoner Photo Studio X Fall 2022 Update simplifies working with metadata. You may have previously encountered format strings, a function formerly found in many locations in ZPS X. Format strings were complicated codes that we have now fit into clear cells, called tokens, to make working with them more intuitive. Most importantly, you don’t have to be a computer programmer to set them up.

No more clicking back and forth between the Manager and Develop modules! We have a few improvements to Zoner Photo Studio X as part of the Fall 2022 Update that will make it easier to navigate and load not only individual photographs, but also batch selections.

Finally! You can now set up each folder exactly how you want. Set the folder with family photos to display as thumbnails and the folder with work photos to show as a list. As of the Fall 2022 Update, you have the option to customize your folder settings to fit your needs. We’ll show you how it’s done.

There are many advantages to working with RAW photos. RAW image formats are essential for high-quality output. The main advantage is that the file contains a large amount of image data for colors and dynamics range, so it can handle bolder photo editing. However, this also means certain challenges for photo editing software. With the Fall 2022 Update, ZPS X brings its own color interface that runs in the program’s background delivering true-to-life colors to your photographs.

Shared albums are the ideal solution for events or vacations where multiple people took pictures and you want everything in one place. Create an album, upload your photos, and save it. Then, click the share icon and select Shared albums.

Quick and easy photo editing with Full View, using your monitor’s entire surface while still being able to access all ZPS X functions? The Fall Update 2022 has all this in store for you.

Variants let you create several virtual copies of a single photo and then edit them, and only then choose the best one. Quickly, easily, and without wasting disk space.
