What it is

Corel AfterShot Pro 3 is RAW photo-editing software for organizing, editing, and outputting photos on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Non-destructive editing lets users create multiple image versions while preserving the original file. Photos can be accessed in existing folders without catalog import, or managed with optional catalogs. Preset-based batch controls can be applied to one photo or thousands, and bulk renaming and resizing are supported. The Blemish Remover offers circle, brush, polygon, and freehand tools. Text and graphic watermarks can be applied to individual images or batches, with controls for size, rotation, position, and transparency. Listed formats include JPG, TIFF, and RAW formats from leading camera manufacturers; JPG and TIFF are output formats. TIFF files can be sent to PaintShop Pro, Photoshop, or another external editor. A Plugin Manager helps find and install plugins, and the maker provides an API and SDK for plugin creation. The software is 64-bit only. The listed purchase is $79.99 USD as a one-time payment, and a 30-day trial is listed.
