[Press Release Excerpts]
As Valentine's Day draws near, millions of singles will go online in search of romance. So what's the secret to getting noticed online? Well, it's no surprise that those who post their photos receive twice as many emails as those without, according to a study published by economists at M.I.T. and University of Chicago. Not convinced? A Match.com survey revealed that profiles containing photos had fifteen times the response rate as those without them. If you're serious about finding that special someone online, it's time to fix up your photos and put your best face forward.

Me, Myself, and I - Want to edit out your ex? Or maybe you just want to protect the innocent and crop your friends and family out of your photos. Select the Object Remover tool and trim unwanted subjects from your photos in seconds.

Blemish be Gone - Have a photo of yourself that would be great without the blemish that is now long gone? Just select the 'Blemish Fixer' option, target the blemish and with one click it is gone forever. The Blemish Fixer is just one of many makeover tools included in Paint Shop Pro X.

"With 40 million Americans using Internet dating services, online daters need a better way to stand out from the crowd. Having photos that show the real you is the first step," said Blaine Mathieu, general manager, digital imaging at Corel. "You'll be amazed how you start standing out from the online competition after spending a few minutes making simple enhancements and adjustments to your photo collection."
