Today, Corel announced their new AfterShot Pro 3 software that they’re billing as being much more affordable than Adobe Lightroom’s Creative Cloud plan. In fact, they’re really packing in quite a number of features to make themselves competitive. Some of these include watermarking, blemish removers, new ways of recovering highlights, 64 bit support, open camera SDK, lens corrections and much more. Details are in a chart after the jump.
