HOW TO USE GPU
Corel Photo-Paint (v.2020 and newer)
Corel Photo-Paint is a powerful image editing software that benefits from GPU acceleration, allowing users to speed up tasks like upsampling and image rendering. By enabling GPU support, users can experience faster performance, especially when working on high-resolution images.
How to Enable GPU Acceleration in Corel Photo-Paint
Launch Corel Photo-Paint
Open the application from the default path:C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 20##\Programs64\CorelPP.exe
Enable GPU Acceleration for Upsampling
Click on the settings cog icon from the global navigation menu.
Select Global settings.
Check the box for Use GPU to accelerate upsampling.
This will allow Photo-Paint to use your GPU for faster image upscaling and other GPU-intensive tasks.
Top Tips to Speed Up Corel Photo-Paint
Keep Your GPU Drivers Updated
Ensure that your NVIDIA or AMD drivers are always up to date. This will unlock the latest optimizations for GPU acceleration in Photo-Paint, improving speed and stability when working with large images or applying complex effects.Optimize Image File Sizes
Working with smaller or compressed images during editing can help reduce processing times. Use the Downsampling feature to temporarily reduce image size for faster edits, and then upscale the image when needed.Increase System Memory Usage
In the performance settings, allocate more RAM for Photo-Paint to handle larger projects smoothly. Increasing memory usage will help improve responsiveness when working with high-resolution images or multiple layers.Use an SSD for Faster Load Times
Storing your project files on an SSD will greatly reduce loading and saving times, improving overall performance when working on large projects.
