You can retouch images with Paint Shop Pro’s retouch brushes, which apply changes with brush strokes. Some retouch brushes mimic photographic effects while others change pixels based on their lightness, saturation, hue, or color values. Some retouch brushes create similar effects to Paint Shop Pro’s color correction commands. For more information about individual retouch brushes, see Description of Retouch Brushes.
