Zoner Photo Studio 9 is the new way to manage your photos. Have you ever bought photo software and found it's missing something? With Zoner Photo Studio 9, this will never happen. With Zoner Photo Studio 9 Professional you get an all-in-one photos program for every step from acquiring photos to readying them to organizing them to sharing them.

Zoner Photo Studio is a tool that can lead you through the whole process of managing and processing digital photos: acquiring, editing, archiving, and publishing them. This universal "all-in-one" solution offers you exceptionally easy work, without the need to constantly jump from one program to another.

GPS Support
Tell your photos where they were taken! Then let them show you the same, on an on-line map like Google Maps. Photos can store GPS data-the longitude, latitude, and even altitude where they were taken, and Zoner can help you automatically bring this info in from any GPS device's track log or hand-enter it and can then use it to show shot locations on a map. No other photo manager can do this!

Web Galleries
Web galleries mean no-hassle viewing of your work for anyone you'd like to share with. And the web galleries wizard in Zoner Photo Studio means no-hassle creation of web galleries. No need to learn a special language-but you still get to offer your visitors advanced features like discussion forums and GPS support: they can easily see on a map where you did your shoot.

Batch Editing
Digital photography can easily mean hundreds of photos per shoot. Even after you toss the bad ones out, brushing up that many photos can drive you crazy if you do it by hand. So don't! Use the new batch filter feature in Zoner Photo Studio 9 to make any combination of edits you want to any set of photos you want. You can can even save and re-use sets of edits. Let Zoner Photo Studio make the computer do the hard work!
