Visit Corel AfterShot Pro 3

Corel AfterShot Pro 3 is a RAW photo editor for importing, processing and outputting photos, with photo management that works without importing files. It supports non-destructive editing, so adjustments are applied without changing the original file, and multiple versions of an image can be created from the same master photo.

Key capabilities include batch processing with presets, comprehensive watermarking, highlight recovery, blemish removal tools, lens corrections, and an image preset library. It offers selective editing through layers and regions, HDR tools for combining multiple exposures, and integration with Photoshop via an external editor option. A plugin manager and plugin API allow users to find, install and develop plugins, while a lens correction development kit supports creating and sharing custom corrections. Camera profiles can be updated dynamically on Windows and Mac.

The software is aimed at photographers who need to process and manage large volumes of images efficiently. It is available as a full version or an upgrade for owners of eligible previous versions, and a free trial is offered.
