Creative Tools

In addition to tools for editing photos, Zoner Photo Studio offers many ways to express your creativity.

Droste Effect

Use the Droste Effect tool to create pictures that repeat inward into themselves. In this eye-catching effect, copies of a selected part of the picture form an inward, shrinking spiral. It works best with pictures of round objects like clock dials and flowers.

Color Shifting

Use Shift Colors to slightly shift selected colors in a picture. Pick a color from the original using an eyedropper to add it to the color list, where you can then edit its hue, saturation, and lightness.

Soft Contours

Use Soft Contours to sharpen fine details without oversharpening a picture. This effect especially helps when editing portraits: sharpen faces while keeping the background slightly blurred—or blur it heavily for a “dreamy” effect.

Envelopes

Use envelopes to "frame" photos with a special crop. Many envelope shapes and themes are available, in color and black-and-white. You can give this cropping frame any desired size and position, blur it, and set its color.

The Puzzle Envelope

Use this special envelope with separate settings to share a photo as a jigsaw puzzle. You can customize the puzzle's complexity, pen width, and piece shape, and even leave some pieces missing.

The Postage Stamp Envelope

Use this special envelope to dress a photo up as a postage stamp. You can customize the stamp’s colors and give its edges a shadow.
