PureImage is a new generation of wavelet noise reduction and color matching software for digital images.
Let's face it: Most of the current image processing algorithms were designed thirty years ago when not many people could imagine digital cameras. Even JPG standard was not yet created. Many of these old algorithms don't work very well with digital cameras.
PureImage combines the most recent research of image processing and includes:
Wavelet Noise Reduction
This is the core of PureImage. Unlike all conventional methods of Noise reduction, our wavelet NR produce much higher quality of noise reduction while retaining image sharpness and details. Unlike some frequency domain profile based NR, PureImage will automatically auto-tune the noise function to different noise type across the image, making the interface much simpler and universal for all digital or film cameras.
There are few Advanced Processing presets for better tuning the NR algorithm:
Default Mode
Performs well on most digital camera images. You can fine-tune the NR level and edge sharpness.
Nature Mode
Retain fine details in outdoor images with lots of trees, flowers and grass
Portrait Mode
Keep natural facial texture on close-up portrait photography to avoid a "face-lift" look of the model.
High Noise Mode
Works on very high level of noise produced by high ISO settings. Even some of the most extreme cases could be restored.
Scanner Mode
Remove Moire pattern from high resolution scans using special descreen filter.
PureImage doesn't stop just with the Noise Reduction. Color Matching and Correction is the other half of the story.
Color Correction
Shadows and Highlights Levels
Adjust the image in Shadows and highlights which will give your dull image a punch
Exposure Compensation
Fix a exposure of your image, bring up details from shadows or tone down over-burn image
Color Temperature Filter
Adjust image warmer or Colder and fix a color cast from flash or wrong White balance.
Color Boost
Boost colors to make your image Vivid (this is NOT the same as a conventional saturation)
Color Matching
Picasso once said: "Good artists copy, great artists steal."
Do you like the tone and colors of some other image and want to use it in your pictures? No problem! Just load the reference image in Color Match and the advanced matching and optimizing algorithm will match the color and tone of your image to it. No need to fiddle with complex color adjusting controls. The color matching can also be used to match a series of images taken with different cameras.
Crop to Format
A crop is the most effective tool to make your image look finished on the final medium. PureImage mimics the Photo-lab enlarger function. You can clearly see how the image will look on finished format size and you can also use the famous rule-of-thirds grid.
Quality Auto-suggestion
No more guessing what JPEG quality you have to use during saving. The Auto-Suggest will find the optimal quality for you (the maximum quality setting that match the source image).
