- Tools: many tools are available to draw on the layers.
- Edit/Select: select parts of an image with antialiasing and modify the selection as a mask.

- Image manipulation.
- Color manipulation:
- Colorize : set the color of an image while preserving intensities.
- Shift colors : cycle colors and change colorness (saturation).
- Intensity : make colors lighter or darker without making them white.
- Lightness : make colors lighter or darker by making them whiter.
- Normalize : use the whole range of each color channel and alpha channel.
- Negative : invert colors (with gamma correction).
- Linear negative : invert colors (without gamma correction).
- Grayscale : converts colors to grayscale with gamma correction.
- Filters:
- Radial blur : non directional blur.
- Motion blur : directional blur.
- Custom blur : blur according to a mask.
- Sharpen : makes contours more acute, complementary to Smooth.
- Smooth : softens whole image, complementary to Sharpen.
- Median : computes the median of colors around each pixel, which softens corners.
- Contour : draws contours on a white background (like a pencil drawing).
- Emboss : draws contours with shadow.
- Sphere : spherical projection.
- Cylinder : cylinder projection.
- Clouds : add clouds of the current pen color.
- Command line: call LazPaint from a console.
