Reduce noise for sharper and crisper images. Noise is a very important issue in digital photography. Nearly all digital cameras produce images with an easily noticed noise component. This digital noise is especially strong in images taken at high ISO rates. Scans of negatives show a similar film grain. When the picture is taken in low light (indoor/night) or high-speed (sport/action) the noise is even more noticeable and a tool such as Auto DeNoise is needed. The noise and grain reduce the visual quality of digital images and resulting prints.Noise is inherent to digital photos. Digital image sensors, because of the size and sensitivity, produce a slight noise as photons arrive at random intervals. The induced sampling error produces the noise. Small sensors on compact digital cameras generate more noise but even top-of-the-line cameras at high ISO settings show some noise.Digital tools are needed to control digital noise. In many situations, fast-action photos, indoor, and low-light, a high ISO setting is required to avoid motion blur or shaking. Without the right digital tool, the photographer is faced with the choice of using a low ISO and get a blurry photo, or a high ISO and get a noisy image. The problem is compounded when photo enlargement is required.Auto DeNoise uses a sophisticated algorithm that preserves detail and sharpness while removing grain or noise. Since noise is highly dependent upon the sensor of the camera (even within the same digital camera model, results may differ) and the picture being taken, it is very important to rely on a fast and simple tool.Click the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.Manufacturer: Human Software Company Inc., The

For additional savings, check out the bundle: AutoEye, DreamSuite, Photo/Graphic Edges Bundle.AutoEye is a revolutionary new way to enhance and improve digital images. Using patented Intelligent Visual Imaging Technologies (IVIT), AutoEye reclaims color and detail that is lost in the transition from film or prints to digital. Unlike any other software solution on the market, AutoEye actually rebuilds the color and detail in images.Auto Eye can perfect any image with absolutely no user knowledge of complex correction concepts and processes such as adjustment curves, levels, cast removal, contrast, and histograms. With advanced color-rebuilding algorithms, AutoEye can enhance darker images or areas of a dark image without burning or over correcting in lighter areas (a common problem encountered with the traditional tools found in Photoshop). AutoEye fully supports Photoshop actions and can batch process files through Photoshop.AutoEye examines, and then automatically enhances, digital images providing full-spectrum color correction, increased color vibrancy, contrast and sharpness, and rebuilt detail. AutoEye automatically removes moiré patterns that occur when scanning printed images and features a basic dust and scratch remover.Features:• color correction features use patented IVIT to rebuild and reclaim lost color in images;• contrast features adjust all pixel values in the images at once (highlights, shadows, and midtones);• sharpness features use IVIT to enhance images to bring back lost detail and to sharpen the quality of the visual to more closely match the original non-digital image;• saturation features increase the vibrancy found in the colors of an image;• brightness features adjust the relative lightness or darkness of the color within an image (e.g., photos shot in low light or that are over-lit can be adjusted and compensated for);• moiré-pattern-removal features instantly remove annoying patterns produced when scanning printed images from newspapers, magazines, and fine-art prints;• de-speckle features find dust and scratches and safely removes them without destroying the rest of the image; and• tonal-range features adjust the visual gamma of the source image to further enhance and bring out the hidden detail and colors in an image that are not seen by the human eye but are visible to AutoEye.Professional designers and photographers will find that AutoEye can help them to maintain a better quality of images in print. The patented IVIT in AutoEye helps rebuild colors which are usually lost when an image is converted to CMYK and that become flatter and without life.Visual feedback of all enhancements is easily viewed in the manual mode. AutoEye features a large dynamic onscreen preview featuring full zoom and panning, and support for before-and-after previews.Click the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.Manufacturer: Auto F/X

AutoMask is a very efficient Plug-in for mask creation on difficult subjects such as hair, trees, fur, and the like, and works equally well on simpler subjects. AutoMask is also very fast in these processes when compared to other similar Plug-ins.With the AutoMask density brush, a new mask channel is created with a few clicks of the mouse. The brush automatically detects the edge of the subject and takes into account the natural aliasing of the edge for beautiful silhouette creation. In global-density mode, the virtual brush yields an unprecedented control over color range or mask-pro tools.Global-density masking provides density-masking action that occurs over the entire selected area. With the global-density mask, the user can pick several colors, RGB or CMYK, and create a mask on these selected areas. This global-density mask also lets users select any color that they want to protect from being covered by a mask (protective density). A special virtual-masking brush eliminates extra spots or unwanted masks created using the automatic-density action. The brush is virtual — it works at the same speed regardless of picture size and may be used on very large images.Local-density-brush masking moves along the edge of the subject enabling the user to sample the image with the density-brush picker. The selected color is used to build a mask automatically along the edge. An unlimited number of readings can be taken, and undo is also possible. Users can go back and forth between any masking feature, at any point. The local brush may be used in combination with the global-density tool. The density-brush-masking tool provides unparalleled smoothness on the edge of the mask. AutoMask respects the natural anti-aliasing of the subject and the semi-transparency of the edges. The mask created is an opacity layer or as a fourth or a fifth channel on a background image.

CoCo Multi Channel is an Adobe Photoshop Plug-in enabling selective color correction in the RGB, Lab, CMYK, and multichannel modes. CoCo is the smartest tool for dealing with standard jobs such as spot colors, bump plates, HiFi, or jobs which will not be printed on a white substrate. CoCo offers smooth and easy color corrections and provides a natural transition of colors while retaining the original modulation. It allows the user to correct up to 16 colors in one filter. The range function gives full control over the scope of colors to be corrected. The combination of selectivity and range function allows, for instance, the correction of red in an image without affecting the skin tones (and vice versa, of course). Primarily developed for and tested in a high-end prepress environment, CoCo brings high-end quality color corrections to the desktop.CoCo makes use of a revolutionary Ink Display Technology (IDT). IDT easily changes the color in which the channels of an image are displayed. For example, rather than print a CMYK, print magenta, yellow, black, and PANTONE 361. With the help of IDT, the cyan channel can be displayed in this color, resulting in a realistic visual impression of how the printed result will look.Not only can CoCo Multi Channel process RGB and CMYK, but duotones, tritones, or any extra channels created in Photoshop can be displayed in their printing colors. The display also shows the individual separations as well as the combination of separations. The paper color function simulates what the image will look like when printed on a substrate other than white. IDT makes it possible to simulate both standard and special printing inks on the screen. This results in a very reliable soft proof of images — within the limitations inherent to displaying printing ink on screen.CoCo works in a fundamentally different way than Photoshop. Colors are corrected in accordance to the relative distance to the source color. The range function keeps CoCo fully in control.
