Corel has combined all the classic effects along with the new effects into one complete collection -The KPT Collection. Corel bundled KPT 5, KPT 6, and KPT 7 into one complete collection of 24 amazing plugin filters!
The Corel KPT Collection 
allows you create remarkable image effects and transformations in a fraction of the time. It dramatically extends the boundaries of image editing and electrifies your creativity and productivity. This collection is a “must-have” plug-in for Corel’s Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop.
Arguably the most creative collection of plug-in filters available, Corel KPT Collection fits right into your workflow. From realistic to artistic to surprising, it offers a new – and extremely fast – range of image transformations and effects, so you can create impressive effects that would ordinarily be impossible or too time-consuming to create from scratch.
KPT Collection brings together 24 must-have plug-in filters in a single, powerful software package.
KPT Fluid
Treat your entire image as a fluid to create and animate a variety of distortions, including controlling the thickness of the liquid and the size and speed of the brush stroke.
KPT FraxFlame II
Create stunning fractals such as crystal clouds, with an improved rendering engine and increased navigational control.
KPT Gel
Use realistic 3D paint tools to synthesize photo-realistic materials, and apply lighting, reflection, refraction and transparency.
KPT Goo
Smear, smudge, twirl, pinch or “finger-paint” an image to produce stunning liquid distortion effects or short animations.
KPT Ink Dropper
Add drops of liquid to a surface to create everything from water spots to smoky swirls.
KPT Lightning
Customize and create realistic lightning effects by controlling every aspect of the bolt and path, including its color, the number of forks, and attractor and generator points.
KPT Materializer
Create dynamic surface textures using bump maps and advanced controls, or “bend” an image over the contours of a surface texture.
KPT Scatter
Import a particle or grid of particles and scatter them over your original image to create complex patterns and textures. Control how the particles fall – in a grid, in spirals or at random – customize their density, size and opacity, and change the hue, luminance and saturation of their color.
KPT ShapeShifter
Create limitless shapes and objects with refracting glass edges, 3D light sources on beveled metallic surfaces, curved and lit Web buttons, UI gadgets and text.
KPT Pyramid Paint
Uses the Lab color mode to reduce and separate the colors in an image to resemble a painting. Users can adjust individual color components, saturation, hue, contrast, and lightness.

KPT Gradient Lab

KPT Channel Surfing
Splits an image into RGB and HLS color channels and lets you apply effects–blur, sharpen, contract, and value shift–to one or all channels.
KPT Hyper Tiling
Transform images into intricate tiling effects. Choose from 5 styles and customize the effect with transparency, advanced blending, and precise positioning in 4D space.

Peter Mayer, the KPT Collection instructor at LVS Online classes would like you to join him in a fun filled 6 weeks of exploring the KPT filters!
The KPT online course is a smashing hit with the students – Dianne says:
“I have had KPT for a long time, but was only using a few of the filters because I had no clue what the rest actually did. This class has made me take another look at KPT. The instructor, Peter Mayer, is friendly and informative, and gave me some excellent hints that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. I think even long time users of KPT could learn something new from this class. It was also fun!”
