NoiseFixer was designed to remove noise or graininess from images by giving total control to the user, tailoring results to their specific needs. The sophisticated mathematical technology is hidden by a simple and easy-to-use front end which enables the user to independently visualize the noise from an image's luminance and chrominance components and see the final combined effects in the preview screen.Where previously noise-reducing applications have produced an image that is softened in the process, NoiseFixer ensures there is no loss of clarity in the final image. NoiseFixer has been designed to ensure the very best results are simple to produce for technical and non-technically minded alike.Features: • removes noise, grain, or fuzz from images;• new support for much larger images;• new much-reduced memory requirement;• an essential new tool for use with high ISO and low-quality images alike;• obtains results without removing the crispness from the image;• designed to work independently on the grey and color components;• seamless integration with image-editing workflow as a Plug-in filter;• works on both 8-bit images (24-bit RGB) and 16-bit images (48-bit RGB);• PC and Mac OS X compatibility; and• easy, intuitive, and fast user interfaceClick the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.Manufacturer: FixerLabs Ltd.
A photograph is a flat image (two dimensional) with height and width but no depth. Perspective Filter can be used to suggest or introduce the third dimension, depth, experienced in human vision. Perspective Filter is unique in that it uses a camera paradigm to introduce depth or perspective. The user interface provides a dynamic visual interface, which inspires creative use.A virtual camera navigational tool in Perspective Filter offers a tilt and swing motion. The tilt movement permits depth-of-field control of the image plane. Moving the virtual camera right to left while focused on a stationary position accomplishes the swing. The Perspective Filter zoom function also gives the effect of a dolly, in which the camera moves closer to or away from the image. For those looking for a quick and intuitive perspective tool, Perspective Filter is the one.Features:• virtual camera in three-dimensional space;• view and manipulate images through a lens;• introduce consistent perspective in multiple images;• introduce consistent perspective in a string of text characters;• factory-preset library with visual display;• save presets with descriptions for future use or reference;• 360-degree rotation of images in any direction; and• zoom in and out of an image with ease.Click the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.Manufacturer: Andromeda Software, Inc.

PhotoSpray offers the ability to spray pictures on top of any RGB photos or layers. This new method of painting lets users brush sets of images on top of any photo, and brushes can be adjusted through a variety of parameters: XY resizing, shadow strength, Hue Saturation Value, opacity, or arithmetic mode. This spray brush is ideal for photorealistic painting. A very important tool for all landscapers, architects, or multimedia designers.PhotoSpray starts with sprays that are a collection of images which are painted at each brush stroke. PhotoSpray has the most sophisticated controls of its kind. The user sprays various images along a grid on the image. Using the directional mode, the spray follows the brush and with each stroke a new image is projected to the desktop. The user is free to change the speed, opacity, and spacing anytime.Using the spray mode, the brush scatters sprayed images randomly and according to the selected brush size. This is an ideal mode for creating photorealistic textures and building natural-looking backgrounds from scratch. At any time, the user can change the size of the spray, adjust the Hue Saturation Value settings, opacity, spacing, or number of simultaneous strokes. In orbit mode, PhotoSpray automatically brushes images according to predefined circular patterns. Users can change the radius, number of repeat, or strokes. It is also possible to assign a rotation speed to the brush, or let it grow or pulse automatically. This mode is ideal for creating breathtaking pattern effects. All parameters can be stored as presets, and PhotoSpray comes with dozens of ready-to-use presets. From the presets the user can create water, fire, clouds, or add fruits and candies.PhotoSpray is the most-advanced sprayer of its kind because it offers many more controls. The user can create amazing new airbrush effects in a few clicks. Features:• control the shadow strength below individual items (an essential feature for a natural look);• independent XY resizing enabling the user to add perspective simulation (leaves on the floor, grapes along a wall);• integrated Hue Saturation Value adjustments;• out of one spray, create limitless variations and new terrific airbrush effects;• easily save and add effects to a library;• adjustable dabs, opacity, an orbital mode;• converts nozzles to sprays, ready to be used by PhotoSpray;• sprays are TIFF files;• easy to create unique textures and natural-looking effects;• ideal for anyone wishing to paint using natural-looking sprays;• ships with a collection of more than 50 realistic sprays including plants, flowers, leaves, trees, bushes, rocks, clouds, geometrical objects, balls, and more;• carefully selected images are all natural, silhouetted with shadows; and• includes a total of more than 50 individual items.

ShadowFixer has been developed to correct the problem of different exposure requirements within one image. A dark corridor in the foreground leading to a light garden in the background, shadows across a subject's face, or a photograph taken in bright sunlight of a subject in shadow — the type of problems that photographers and image makers face daily.Previously one of the few ways of dealing with digital images with under exposed areas or dark shadows may have been to correct using the brightness and contrast controls, which has the effect of lightening the whole image and lightening the areas that were already correctly exposed. ShadowFixer is designed to be used on an entire image or a large region of an image which has boundaries that lay along those of an object or shadow in the image, blending the over/under exposed regions into the whole picture, while enhancing the detail in the fixed areas.Features:• corrects under exposure in images;• support for much larger images;• much reduced memory requirements;• produces better results than correcting using the brightness/contrast tools;• enhances detail in corrected areas for excellent finished images;• designed to be used on the whole picture, calculates which areas contain shadows;• seamless integration with your image-editing workflow;• easy installation, just download and install as instructed;• works on both 8-bit (24-bit RGB) and 16-bit images (48-bit RGB); and• PC and Mac OS X compatibility.Click the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.Manufacturer: FixerLabs Ltd.
