Kodak Introduces New DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In
ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 2 - Eastman Kodak Company today introduced the new DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In, which gives users a quick and powerful way of smoothing skin and other surfaces without blurring or affecting the detail of important facial features. This new plug-in enables users to automatically achieve meticulous airbrush and retouching effects without tedious, time-consuming masking and manual softening.The DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In smoothes and purifies the texture of surfaces in digital images by reducing harsh shadows and highlights. This minimizes the imperfections of skin and other surfaces, while fully preserving significant details like hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows. Several advanced control sliders allow users to customize the smoothing effects and intensity amounts at three levels of detail: fine, medium, and coarse. Users can preview a high contrast mask which depicts the image detail that is affected and unaffected. The plug-in provides three standard setting buttons: Normal; Lighten; and Darken, which allow the correction to be applied to only darker areas, only lighter areas, or both. The DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In also supports the use of 16 bit color images, as well as the standard 8 bit color images.
A FREE trial version is available for download. This fully functional trial version applies digital watermarks to images. To disable the watermark, users may purchase a software key via a secure, e-commerce site for .95.
