April 21, 2008: Digital Film Tools Releases Power Stroke, Light! and Ozone for Apple Aperture 2.1 and above With the release of Power Stroke, Light! and Ozone for Aperture 2.1, Apple’s expansive photo editing and management tool, Digital Film Tools affirms its on-going commitment to bring innovative new products to the imaging marketplace and offers greater reach in the digital imaging software market. We are excited that Apple invited us to be one of a very select group to participate in their Aperture plug-in product launch. The performance, flexibility and creative control our software provides, is a perfect match for the powerful tools provided with Aperture 2.1. Power Stroke Designed with the creative workflow of digital photographers, graphic designers and artists in mind, Power Stroke introduces a simple, interactive stroke-based interface to quickly and intuitively perform targeted adjustments. Instead of meticulously selecting regions or hand-painting masks, regions of interest are isolated by drawing a few simple brush strokes with adjustments then made only in those areas. Strokes can be assigned multiple corrections and effects such as color correction, recoloring or desaturation, colorization of black and white images, blur, fill light for dimly lit image areas and diffusion/glow. Using patented algorithms, Power Stroke produces high-quality results at a fraction of the complexity and computational cost of previous techniques. At long last, gestural selection, colorization and image adjustment have been combined into one natural, fast and easy process. Light! Light! allows photographers, designers and artists to add light to a scene where none existed before just as if you were adding light at the time of shooting. Realistic lighting and shadow is introduced using the entire pattern/gobo library created by GAMPRODUCTS, INC. Normally used in front of lights during photography, these same exact patterns can now be applied digitally to the entire image or inside a selection. There are 565 patterns to choose from including blendables, breakups, Christmas, cityscapes and towns, clouds, fences and openings, fire and water, flags, flowers, foliage, holidays and symbols, moons, natural elements, religion, signage, sky and stars, spirals, spotlights and pinspots, stones and brick, structures and sets, themes, trees, vignettes and windows. Ozone Ozone is a unique filter that allows photographers, designers and artists to manipulate the color of an image with incredible flexibility and accuracy. Inspired by Ansel Adams’ Zone System for still photography, Digital Film Tools has created "The Digital Zone System". To reproduce the infinite palette of colors, tones and brightness of the world around us, the Digital Zone System takes the spectrum of image values and divides them into 11 discrete zones. With Ozone, the color and brightness of each zone can be independently adjusted until you’ve painted a new picture. All zones can be adjusted and viewed in context and you don’t have to commit to the adjustments until all zones are corrected. Digital Film Tools brings together the unbeatable combination of superior software designers, motion picture visual effects veterans, video editors and photographers. Add three Emmy Awards and experience in creating visual effects for hundreds of feature films, commercials and television shows and you have a recipe for success.

April 4, 2008: onOne Software Announces Free Liquid Resize Product Preview onOne Software, Inc., announces today the availability of its Liquid Resize product preview. Available for immediate download at www.ononesoftware.com/liquidresize, onOne Software’s new Liquid Resize software is a ground-breaking way to resize images using a technique known as "seam carving" to reduce the distortion that typically occurs when manipulating the aspect ratio of an image. “Since acquiring Liquid Resize earlier this year, our engineering team has been hard at work developing what will become a new Photoshop plug-in for photographers and graphic artists,” said Craig Keudell, president of onOne Software. “We’re looking forward to hearing what our customers have to say about this new image resizing tool that allows users to maintain the original aspect ratio of a digital image when they resize or adjust the composition of their images.” March 17, 2008: onOne Software Previews New FocalPoint Software Plug-in onOne Software, Inc., previewed its new software plug-in for Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements – FocalPoint 1.0. onOne Software’s FocalPoint is a selective focus and vignetting plug-in designed to help photographers easily blur and/or vignette areas of an image. Popular among professional wedding, portrait and commercial photographers, the soft defocused look typically produced in camera by using special selective focus or tilt-shift lenses, filters or vignetting hoods can now be created quickly within Photoshop using onOne Software’s new FocalPoint. This new plug-in eliminates the need for photographers to purchase, carry and use the accessories mentioned above at the time of the photo shoot and simplifies their ability to produce these effects later in Photoshop. “Our new FocalPoint plug-in gives photographers total control over how they apply creative focusing effects to their image after the image has been shot,” said Craig Keudell, president of onOne Software. “It’s just like having a lens inside of Photoshop. Users set the location of their ‘sweet spot’ of focus directly on their image and then control the amount, kind of blur used and even lighten or darken the edges quickly and easily.” FocalPoint provides photographers with a way to create realistic depth of field control, plane of focus control and selective focus to any image after it is photographed allowing for more control and precision. The plug-in’s unique FocusBug control has a tangible, hardware feel much like adjusting a lens. This special on-screen control makes it fast for a photographer to choose the “sweet spot” of focus either in a round aperture shape or a planar aperture shape and then control how much and what kind of blur they would like to add. Blur choices include a standard defocused look as well as a blur that simulates motion. This has a huge benefit over hardware tools like auxiliary lenses and filters because it allows the photographer to control the focus and blur after the image is taken, giving them more control and requiring fewer shots in camera. FocalPoint uses the same FocusBug controls to allow the photographer to simultaneously selectively blur as well as lighten or darken the areas outside of the “sweet spot” of focus. FocalPoint can also be used just for vignetting without blurring the image at all. In addition, the FocusBug allows users to tilt the chosen “sweet spot” aperture in 3D, simulating the tilt effect of a view camera or tilt-shift lens. This allows users to increase or decrease the amount of feathering or blur across a plane. And once a photographer has created an effect they like, they can save it as a preset so they can easily recall it. FocalPoint remembers all of the settings applied including the relative size and position of the FocusBug so users can apply it to similar images without having to make any additional adjustments. By using Photoshop actions to access a FocalPoint preset photographers can even batch process an entire folder of images. FocalPoint is designed for use with Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements and supports Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3 and Elements versions 4.0.1, 5, 6 and higher. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP and Vista and Mac OS X 10.4.10 and 10.5 and higher. onOne Software’s FocalPoint plug-in will be available in April 2008. March 14, 2008: Nik Software Dfine 2.0 Brings Revolutionary Noise Reduction Features to Adobe Photoshop Nik Software Inc.’s award-winning noise reduction software tool Dfine 2.0 now features Nik Software’s patented U Point technology for selective editing control and a completely new user interface that is easier to use and improves workflow for busy photographers. “Many photographers have simply ignored or accepted image noise as a part of digital photography due to the complexity of the image editing tools available,” said Michael J. Slater, president and CEO of Nik Software, Inc. “The complete re-design of Dfine takes simplicity and control of noise reduction to an entirely new level, a point recognized when it earned the coveted American Photo Editor’s Choice 2007 award.” When capturing images, all digital cameras inherently create unwanted imperfections known as noise. High ISO speeds and low light conditions can also contribute to noise. Dfine 2.0 addresses the issue of digital image noise with unprecedented selective control and a revamped image processing core, which provide superior noise reduction while maintaining detail and sharpness in an image. A re-designed user interface, new automatic camera profiling system, and the addition of U Point powered Control Points help photographers quickly and easily improve the quality of virtually every digital photo. Dfine 2.0 noise reduction can be applied globally or selectively using various controls including: Control Points powered by U Point technology: With a single mouse click, photographers can place Control Points on an image and selectively adjust the amount of contrast (luminance) and color (chrominance) noise reduction. Target Colors: Using an eyedropper tool to select colors, photographers can reduce noise based on a range of colors. This method is ideal for batch processing a series of images. Selective Tool: Using brushes, noise reduction can be applied selectively. For added control and fine detail adjustments, Dfine also supports pressure sensitive features optimized for Wacom Pen Tablets. Dfine also includes a new auto camera profile system as part of its image processing core. This feature adjusts the noise reduction to match specific parameters and nuances based on camera manufacturer specifications. Camera profiles may be applied automatically upon launching the plug-in, thus enabling literally “one click” noise reduction for images and faster workflow. Profiles may also be created manually and saved, and then loaded by users at a later time. March 14, 2008: Nik Software Showcases New Color Efex Pro 3.0 Nik Software, Inc. showcases today the latest upgrade to its award-winning Color Efex Pro collection of photographic filters for Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. The new Color Efex Pro 3.0 filter collection now integrates Nik Software’s patented U Point technology for precise selective editing control, includes new and updated filters offering the widest range of professional photographic enhancements and effects, and features a completely redesigned user interface. Nik Software’s U Point technology provides easy-to-use tools for direct on-image control of filter effects and enhancements. Applying filters to specific areas of a photo can be achieved easily using just a few mouse clicks without the need to create complicated selections, masks, and layers. Color Efex Pro combined with U Point technology offers users unprecedented control over selective image enhancements and effects. “Color Efex Pro 3.0 is the biggest advancement in the way photographers work with digital photographic filters and will change the way that photographers edit images,” said Michael J. Slater, CEO of Nik Software. “We have always been committed to placing creative control in the hands of photographers and the new filters in Color Efex Pro 3.0 and our U Point technology does exactly that,” Slater concluded. Using U Point powered Control Points, users can make selective corrections or enhancements by placing a Control Point directly on any part of an image (such as sky, skin, grass, or a building) and adjusting the level of opacity of the effect on that specific part of the image. This selective control enables users to perform enhancements in a fraction of the time needed using other software tools. U Point technology is also found in Nik Software’s Dfine 2.0 noise reduction tool and Capture NX photo editing software from Nikon Corporation. “I have been using Color Efex Pro for over seven years and each and every one of my images is touched by this software. Every time a new version is released I am always amazed at how Nik Software continues to advance and improve its products and technologies,” said Vincent Versace, professional photographer. Available in three editions, the Color Efex Pro Complete Edition features over 250 distinctive effects and styles in over 50 easy-to-use filters, and includes more than 30 emulated film types. New and updated filters in Color Efex Pro 3.0 address specific needs for varying styles of photography, ranging from studio, portrait, and commercial, to fine art and nature. Notable features in Color Efex Pro 3.0 also include a Filter List organized by photography styles, a resizable window that easily accommodates large monitor sizes, large before/after image previews, a Navigator Loupe, and the ability to save favorite filter sets. Photographers and photo enthusiasts of all skill levels will be able to use Color Efex Pro 3.0 for such tasks as traditional filter enhancements, color correction, image retouching, creative enhancements, and more. Color Efex Pro 3.0 also supports Photoshop’s layer masks and is optimized for pressure sensitive devices such as Wacom pen tablets.

March 13, 2008: Kubota Image Tools Introduces AutoAlbum V.3 Kubota Image Tools is pleased to announce a new version of its award-winning software for creating contemporary magazine-style album pages within Photoshop, AutoAlbum V.3. This new version, available starting next week, includes more than 500 single-page layouts—both square and new rectangular pages—as well as panoramic designs. It also includes Kubota Image Tools’ exclusive new Kubota Action Dashboard™ feature enabling users to search for templates and launch them quickly and easily. With AutoAlbum V.3, all page designs are kept as completely modifiable layers. This has been further enhanced in V.3 with the addition of Smart Object compatibility that allows users to easily modify their images as they go. Smart Objects, a feature introduced in Photoshop CS2, allows the user to place a PSD document within another PSD document. By simply double-clicking on the Smart Object in the Layers palette, the image can be modified or replaced and it will automatically update. After creating a page layout in AutoAlbum, now it is easy to replace individual images on the page, or convert images to black and white, for example. Video tutorials included with the software walk the user through the process step-by-step. Also included in this upgrade is the new printed AutoAlbum Book, a handy reference of all of the templates so users can see completed examples of all of the layout designs and envision the possibilities as they create their albums. “After being honored with Professional Photographer Magazine’s Hot One Award for Album-Design Software in 2007, we knew we wanted to make a great product even better for our customers,” said Kevin Kubota, Idea Man of Kubota Image Tools. “We are particularly excited about the new Kubota Action Dashboard (“AD”) enhancement in this upgrade. The AD will make finding a layout that suits your images even easier. If you know you want three horizontal images and three vertical images on your page, AD will instantly search for the templates that will fit your needs. Cool, huh?” AutoAlbum V.3 runs completely within Photoshop, so there are no new programs to learn. The unique AutoAlbum Photoshop Actions build the pages as users select a template and click “Play”. It’s that simple. March 13, 2008: Kubota Image Tools Announces Expandable New Kubota Formula Book Kevin Kubota, Idea Man at Kubota Image Tools, has finally created for professional photographers the new Kubota Formula Book available starting March 17, 2008 at the WPPI Show.

Then, it takes users step-by-step through the Photoshop techniques and the Kubota Actions used to enhance the image for final presentation. A welcome addition to a photographer’s gadget bag whether on location on a shoot or back in the studio during post-processing, this compact book includes over 40 before and after images plus a DVD with video tutorials on the Photoshop techniques and Kubota Actions used on each image. “Photographers from all over the world have been asking me to create a Formula Book like this for years,” says Kevin Kubota. “The Kubota Formula Book is designed to grow as we create new techniques and new Actions. When available, users will have the option to purchase ‘Add-On Packs’ and add them to their book. We hope this will become an invaluable tool for getting creative juices flowing and will result in photographers’ creating their own award-winning images.” Since the book is not bound, rather pages are kept together via innovative Circa metal discs, additional pages can be added whenever there are new Kubota Image Tools materials available.
