Sharpness
Editor
Editor
Sharpen photos with our plug-ins novel unsharp masks. Our
Sharpness Editor does not create edgelines or artifacts as regular
unsharp mask does. Restrict sharpening to edges only, or blur
selected colors, hues or shades in order to manipulate the focus.
Optional anti-aliasing can be used to avoid edge roughness. Also has
a novel soft threshold as well as classic hard.

Black definition
Control black in photos as if it were a color channel. Target changes to
colors or gray areas. The plastic 3D sense in a photo is greatly
enhanced when the black definition is raised. Reducing black definition
makes colors more vivid without raising their saturation. Also use this
plug-in to brighten sullied photos without actually altering brightness.

Correct radial exposure and radial brightness independently.
Control the radius and the fade-out of the exposure correction. The
plug-in has built-in smart error diffusion algorithms to avoid "ringing" -
circle-formations as a side-effect of a gradated strictly circular
exposure or brightness correction.

Contrast Editor
Control black-white contrast independent of color-contrast and without
changing the color or saturation. Control the midtones by setting how
much they should be preserved or lost. Our general contrast slider
quickly improves the black-white contrast, color-contrast and
saturation in one go. Improve the light in the photo by shifting the
mean towards light or dark.

Corrector
Corrector
Correct under- or overexposure. One can do this either in the entire
photo or in selected or restricted areas such as the shadows.
Target-mode lets you correct exposure in any range of darks,
midtones or lights - typically you'll want to re-expose shadows or lower
highlights. This is an ideal pair with our Dynamic Range Compressor

Color Corrector
For color correction and removing colorcast. Select a color, hue and/or
brightness-range and change it any way you like. Shift the color
spectrum of the entire image or a selected hue or brightness-range by
rotating the color wheel. In the example, we targeted the reflected
lights in the girls face and made them brighter, warmer and more vivid
by rotating the color circle a bit. This is good for colorcast.

Auto-mode calibrates the correct color-filter for any light source. Even
mixed neon + halon, the worst challenge to photographers, is easily
color corrected by the plug-in. Manual mode has a slider for
daylight-film and incandescent-film color-correction filters equal to
Kodak Wratten 80A to 85B (in Europe B&W KB15 to KR15 - the plug-in
control uses these steps).

Now you can edit saturation without splitting the image up into primary

Also the plug-in does not alter brightness. Two modes of operation:
Photo mode for photographs and regular mode (uniform) for graphic
design and web graphics.

Anti-aliasing
Filter edge roughness and jagged edges in graphics and images.
Also for anti-aliasing photos at large. Web graphics improve with
anti-alias filtering, because they are often down-scaled significantly
and need much sharpening. All the images on this web page have
been greatly scaled down, then sharpened with our plugin and
finally anti-alias filtered. (Example 300%).

emulate toneline lithfilm to create line drawings that differ from regular
edge-detection such as Photoshop's "Find edges". The example was
made with toneline set to an exposure direction of 45°. The plug-in
offers you four exposure directions.

combining two scans of an image - one for correct midtones and lights,
one for correct midtones and darks.
