PSP Makeover before and after
What goes through your mind when you hear the word "makeover?" An extreme makeover? Maybe a new hairstyle or for women, a new way of applying your makeup? Makeovers are fun, but time consuming in real life. With Paint Shop Pro they are just as much fun but take only seconds! The Makeover tool, new to Paint Shop Pro X, includes a blemish fixer, a toothbrush, and a suntan tool. That's right... in a few steps you can remove unsightly blemishes, whiten your teeth, and catch up on your rays! If only you could apply these changes so quickly in real life! To get your makeover in half the time with Paint Shop Pro you need only select the one tool — The Makeover tool — then choose the Blemish Fixer, Toothbrush, or Suntan tools in the Tool Options palette. Each tool allows you to change the size and/or strength of the brush.
