Make your photos look their best

Instantly fix common flaws

Fix photos in a snap with intelligent features that automatically correct skin tone, lighting, color, and contrast. Even see red eye removed automatically as you download photos.

---

Get greater control over color and lighting

Make adjustments to color, lighting, and exposure. Convert color originals to rich black-and-whites; fine-tune color, brightness, and contrast; and get the highest quality results by editing the raw image files from your digital camera.

---

Perform advanced editing

Perfect your photos with advanced options like the Healing Brush for removing wrinkles and unwanted objects, the Spot Healing Brush for getting rid of dust and scratches in old photos, and Shadow/Highlight for lightening shadows and reducing the glare of highlights.

---

Create composites

Combine elements from different photos to create fun composites. Quickly separate an object from its background — even in complex, textured areas — instantly remove rough edges, and then combine it with another photo to create a new scene.

---

Artistically enhance photos

Stylize your photos by adding filters, effects, text, and shapes.
