PaintShop Pro is getting smarter! This tutorial provides an overview of the new features and tools powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning technology introduced in PaintShop Pro 2021.

Replacing a photo background just got easier, thanks to the new AI Background Replacement feature introduced in PaintShop Pro 2022. When you launch the feature, the AI will automatically detect your photo’s subject and create a mask. If needed, you can alter the mask using the Refine brush. Once the subject is masked, you can choose from 20 background presets or add your own background image. You can also save the image with a transparent background and maintain your original background as a separate layer.

Learn how to create professional-looking portrait or group shots using the AI Portrait Mode feature introduced in PaintShop Pro 2022. AI Portrait Mode applies a depth of field or bokeh blur effect to the background of your image that will really make your subjects pop. When you launch the feature, the AI will automatically detect your photo’s subject and create a mask. If needed, you can alter the mask using the Refine brush. Once the subject is masked, you can use the controls to adjust the background blur and area of focus to your liking, and the effect will be applied as a new layer in your image. Give it a try today and see how easy it is to create pro-quality portraits.

With the AI upsampling feature introduced in PaintShop Pro 2021, you can dramatically enlarge any photo without compromising resolution or visual quality. Let the power of PaintShop Pro magnify the finest details to create the perfect frame.

With the AI Denoise feature introduced in PaintShop Pro 2021, you can easily remove random variation of brightness and color in images commonly caused by low light environments. Quickly and easily clear up any unwanted noise so each photo is crisp and clear.

With the AI Artifact Removal feature introduced in PaintShop Pro 2021, you can easily remove artifacts and restore fine detail and original colors in JPEGs. Reverse distortion effects often caused during compression to reduce a file size in digital workflows.

With AI Style Transfer, introduced in PaintShop Pro 2021 and enhanced in 2022, you can instantly transform your photos into stylized works of art with new presets designed to replicate famous artistic styles using a variety of digital media types.

    You have all of these wonderful tools in the app and I can’t find them! This page says the tool exists but in the application there is no search feature for a tool, nor do the existing icons help.

      Hi Kerry,
      What version of PaintShop Pro are you using? If you are using PaintShop Pro 2020 or earlier, you will not have access to the AI powered tools. If you are using PaintShop Pro 2021, 2022 or 2023, the selection of AI tools (and their locations) will vary slightly, as some tools were introduced in PaintShop Pro 2022 (therefore not available in 2021). Can you let us know which version you are using?

      Thanks,
      The Discovery Center team

      Hi James, which workspace are you using?
      In PaintShop Pro 2023 Ultimate, if you are using the Complete or Essentials workspace, the Artificial Intelligence tools (AI Denoise, AI Artifact Removal, AI Portrait Mode and AI Background Replacement) are listed under the Adjust menu. AI Upsampling is in the Resize window (Image > Resize). AI Style Transfer is a category in the Instant Effects palette.
      Complete workspace

      If you are using the Photography workspace, some tools are available in the Artificial Intelligence menu along the bottom of the interface:
      Photography workspace

      To use AI Portrait Mode or AI Background Replacement you will need to switch to the Complete or Essentials workspace.

      Let us know if the AI tools aren’t appearing for you in these locations.

      Thanks,
      The Discovery Center team
