Ulead PhotoImpact, now called Corel PhotoImpact X3, is an image editing application. It provides simple and advanced editing tools for beginners and advanced computer users. One of the features of the application is Easy and Fast ExpressFix mode. This tool provides one-click fixes wherein users can bring out the details on a photo, change the white balance, and reduce noise. There is also a Photo Project Wizard that automatically created comic strips, photo collages, greeting cards, and labels. There are also two crop tools included – Rule of Thirds crop and the Golden Ratio crop.
