Already being referred to as an “excellent alternative to Lightroom,” Zoner’s latest version of thiscomplete photo editing and management software package offers several exciting new features
including Home Sharing, an easy and seamless way to share memories on your TV, PC andsmartphone; the new and improved Cartoon and Lens Flare tools, a much more efficient photomanagement interface and more robust tools for working with RAW files.
“Our experience with past versions has taught us that users want a software program that offers
them the opportunity to do everything from A to Z. That’s our ace in the hole with ZPS, that’s ourfoundation—it’s what separates us from all the pack,” explained Zoner’s Head of Development, Ales
Hasala.
Most U.S. homes today own multiple computers, tablets and Smart TVs, so a feature like Home
Sharing will have great appeal. The feature offers a fast and easy way to display and share photos
on screens throughout the house, beyond the computer they are typically stored on. Show off
pictures on your DLNA-compatible TV, Android devices that have Zoner’s Android app or any
computer on your network.
For those that truly enjoy immersing themselves in the creative aspects of image editing, ZPS 17
has added a slew of new editing tools that will open up new directions to expand those talents. Andfor the more advanced users, ZPS 17’s Automatic Optical Defect Correction using LCP profiles will
be a big hit as well.
Zoner has also made major changes to the program’s RAW module—the most significant sinceversion 12. Zoner’s RAW development tool is now more powerful and intuitive than ever before.
Among the improvements is a new Automatic button that streamlines working with the histogramand colors – one click now reveals the optimal settings. ZPS 17 also now reflects all changes in theRAW module in pictures’ previews in the Manager and Viewer. Working with large photo collections
is now significantly faster and smoother in ZPS 17 courtesy of the program’s Smarter Catalog andan improved Side Panel in the Manager. Batch-tagging photos is now a snap using keywords andother metadata, both in the Manager and also during the photo Import process.
