A remarkably faster Develop module<\/h2>\r\nThe Develop Module has seen its biggest improvements since ZPS X\u2019s beginnings. We\u2019ve developed a new engine that makes editing photos faster than ever before. The redesigned Develop module handles more complicated edits better than ever \u2013 the more settings the user changes, the more noticeable the changes in speed are.\r\n

Higher-quality edits and brand-new settings<\/h2>\r\n

ZPS X users will experience improved workflow with the most commonly-used functions in the Develop module. Photographers will achieve dramatically better results thanks to a wider range of options and new Exposure settings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

New Blacks and Whites <\/strong>settings work with the lightest and darkest tones in the picture. Users can now correct an overly dark background with more precision, without impacting other dark areas of the photo. The new Texture <\/strong>function brings out even the finest details by adding contrast. It\u2019s perfect for emphasizing things such as blades of grass, a bird\u2019s feather, or fabric patterns, for example.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Lights and Shadows <\/strong>also received their fair share of improvements in the update. Users can now edit them with significantly better results. You\u2019ll get more details out of the shadows without the risk of unattractive washed-out colors. Photographers no longer need to be afraid of bolder photo editing, as we\u2019ve worked diligently to remove unwanted image artifacts. Individual settings now work together better than before. For instance, Lights and Shadows when used with Exposure deliver significantly better results than the competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

We\u2019ve listened to user\u2019s requests and completely redesigned the Reduce Noise<\/strong> function. It is now more user-friendly and guarantees improved noise reduction that\u2019s so much faster that we added light noise reduction to the default processing of RAW photos.<\/p>\r\n

Improved video editing<\/h2>\r\n

Zoner Photo Studio X didn\u2019t overlook video editing in the update. Zoner prides itself on the versatility of its software which is why the Create module also offers video editing. The Fall Update brings more sophisticated video editing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

When moving clips on the timeline, the user can now see the effect of the operation being performed in real time. This makes it much easier to move a large number of tracks. Another new feature is the ability to adjust the height of a video track or specify the insert mode for each track separately. Batch editing of transition effects is also an enormous timesaver.<\/p>\r\n\r\nThe user will find the video\u2019s basic video information directly in the right panel of the Manager module, can easily distinguish it from photographs at first glance, and will see the footage in the thumbnail. The video can also be easily rotated in a single click without any loss of quality.\r\n

Support for AVIF<\/h2>\r\n

With its Fall Update, Zoner Photo Studio X offers support for the cutting-edge AV1 image format, backed by such giants as Google, Netflix, and Microsoft. AVIF stands out because of its high quality yet lower data consumption compared to the more widespread JPEG format. AVIF is supported by a number of web browsers and now Zoner Photo Studio X is prepared as AVIF expands further into the market.<\/p>\r\n

Zonerama\u2019s video revolution<\/h2>\r\n

In Zonerama, users can now play back videos in higher quality than found on YouTube and upload to Zonerama in up to 4K resolution. Zonerama is also the first online gallery in the world to experimentally support AV1 format.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The user can now resize the displayed photos, choose from new layout options in rows, or choose margins for their Zonerama albums. Photographers will then save time when setting up a new gallery as they can now easily copy settings from an already existing gallery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Zoner Photo Studio X offers a one-month trial version to anyone who wants to try it. For those that have already surpassed their trial period, there is the option to test out the new features for a period of 15 days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

In 2021, Zoner Photo Studio was named Best Imaging Software by the prestigious TIPA World Awards. EISA (Expert Imaging and Sound Association) also named ZPS X Best Photography Software of the year for 2021-2022<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n
