What’s New in the ZPS X Fall Upgrade?
The list of enhancements is extensive and has the emphasis on speed and ease-of-use. One of the best features of every ZPS X upgrade is that owners do not have to do anything to activate or access the improvements. Like all ZPS X upgrades, these new features appear in your software automatically.

GPU Acceleration Cuts Processing Time in Half
ZPS X now fully utilizes your PC’s Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to deliver faster editing. In a nutshell, a GPU works in parallel with your PC’s CPU for faster and more efficient throughput. ZPS X makes the most of the power of your GPU so you can edit at lightning speed. Editing in the Develop module is now up to 2X faster.

Optimized for Even Lower-powered PCs
It would be nice if everyone owned the latest and most powerful computer, but that’s just not the case. ZPS X has been optimized so users with older or less powerful machines can still edit their photos fast. Enjoy smoother editing without sacrificing quality on older or entry-level hardware.

Support for 3D LUTs
ZPS X users can now more easily perform advanced color work and discover color toning using 3D LUTs (Look Up Tables). Often used in filmmaking and similar to (but more powerful than) simple presets, 3D LUTs help you change and set the color and tone of your images and easily manipulate select hues in a controlled, consistent and repeatable way. Zoner Photo Studio X supports all LUT formats and allows adjustment of effect intensity. You can download custom LUTs online from multiple sources or create your own custom LUTs and thereby accelerate your workflow. See this exciting feature in action on Zoner’s YouTube channel.

New Navigation Panel and Toolbar
The enhanced, easier-to-use ZPS X user interface is available in all ZPS X modules, making browsing your photos easier. With the new workspace, you can have the functions you use most often at your fingertips. In addition, the toolbar is completely customizable—once again, adding speed and complete control to your editing sessions.

Enhanced Local Adjustments
All tools can now be used locally—which means that all adjustments can now be applied to a specific part of the photo. ZPS X has added settings to the Radial Filter, Filter Brush, and Gradient Filter so they have all the popular functions of the Develop module.

Customizable Default Settings for Raw Files
You can improve your Raw file processing procedure and achieve more shot-to-shot uniformity by establishing custom default settings for processing Raw files. Instead of making the same adjustments over and over again, you can set default adjustments from the Develop module for each of your cameras—and never have to do them manually again. The default adjustments are saved even when you reset additional adjustments.

…and there’s more!
Once-over-lightly, here are more of the new enhancements and features.

Speed ramping for videos gives you seamless control your video’s speed using keyframes. You can even go back in time.

Keyframing has been simplified so you may easily select and change multiple keyframes at once.

Live editing for the Print module—adjustments made in the Develop module are immediately reflected in your projects in progress.

More natural vignetting effect in your images’ corners in the Develop module. 

Curves selection for Raw processing. If you want to be in control of everything when processing Raw files you can use linear curves.
