New Photo Tools

Photo Healing

A simple but incredibly effective tool that can be used to erase spots, scratches and blemishes from photos. In fact it can be used like a ’paint brush’ for the Magic Erase tool, so you can erase even quite large features from your photo with amazingly seamless results.

Background Erase

A really quick, easy and effective way of cutting complex objects out of photos, so you can place them on alternative backgrounds.

Mask Painter Tool

With the new mask and region tools it couldn’t be simpler. With the region painter tool you can draw a selection region to apply effects to (eg change the brightness or contrast) or you can use the mask painter tool to protect an area from being altered.

New Photo FX Plug-ins

11 all-new photo plug-ins for a dazzling array of creative photo effects.

Multi column text

Designer Pro X9 introduces a direct and easy way to create multi-column flowing text areas. Simply right click in the selected text and choose Columns to open the dialog. You can convert a single text area into multiple linked ones or, if there are already multiple linked columns in a set, you can adjust the column count.

Text flow & page creation

Designer Pro X9 can now act like a word processor, so that when text flows off the bottom of one page (or out of a text area) it automatically creates a new page (a copy of the previous layout) and flows text into this new page.

Page Numbers and Page & Column Breaks

It’s easy! Right click > Insert and you can add page numbers (with a selection of number styles) or insert a column or page break. Inserting a column break will move the following text to the start of the next column, inserting a page break will move the following text to the start of the following page.

Word Import & Export (beta)

V9 includes import/export filters for Microsoft Word .docx file format.

Web Documents

Designer Pro enables you to publish a perfectly accurate WYSIWYG web version of your print documents, compatible with all modern web browsers, phones and tablets, no plug-ins required. By producing a completely accurate paginated web document, anyone on-line, including phone and tablet users, can quickly swipe through all the pages. So if you want to share print documents with friends, colleagues or customers, confident that they’ll see an accurate copy of your document, you no longer need to create and send PDFs nor worry about the quality of their PDF reader - you can just publish to the web (and of course a free hosting deal is included with Designer Pro).
