Improve Underexposed and Overexposed Pictures with AKVIS Enhancer. Now with HDR-Technology!

Aug. 21, 2007 - PRLog -- August, 2007 - AKVIS LLC announces the release of AKVIS Enhancer  v.7.0 for Windows and Macintosh. Now the program supports HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging). The new version is available as a stand-alone application and as a plugin to a photo editor.

AKVIS Enhancer is image enhancement software that detects detail in underexposed, overexposed and mid tone areas of a photo. You can improve detail on a single shot or use the HDR mode to create an HDR image out of a series of shots.

When applied to one shot, AKVIS Enhancer brings out details by intensifying color transition. It strengthens the difference between adjacent pixels that have different color gradations and therefore reveals not only the details in the shadow but even the details in the overexposed areas and mid-tones.

Most images can be improved at default settings. For further adjustment you have four parameters at your disposal: Details in Shadows, Details in Highlights, Level of Detail and Lightness.

The stand-alone version of Enhancer supports HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging). This technology expands the dynamic range of an image and allows creating impressing pictures. The mode requires several shots of the same scene taken with different exposures.

The plug-in version of Enhancer supports Photoshop batch processing that allows applying the same settings to a series of images. The plug-in version is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel (Jasc) Paint Shop Pro, Corel Photo-Paint, Corel Painter, Ulead Photo-Impact, etc.

In addition to its appeal to the amateur photographer and home user, AKVIS Enhancer is a useful tool in the production of technical and industrial photographs, or for revealing subtle details within medical imaging and forensic photos. Demonstrations of AKVIS
Enhancer's features are available at http://akvis.com/en/enhancer-tutorial/index.php .
