Professional color correction plug-in for Adobe Photoshop® and other popular photo editing software. The new capabilities, which will be released on September 10, 2001, add to an already impressive array of features that have been highly praised by professional imagers, digital photography enthusiasts, and independent experts alike. Since its release last April, iCorrect Professional has been described by reviewers as having "remarkable capabilities" packaged in a "simple interface" which, with just "a couple of clicks, can "improve an already good image" or "transform a 'so-so' image into an excellent one."
"iCorrect puts the power of breakthrough digital color technology in the hands of the user to quickly and easily solve a major problem of digital photography ? accurate color capture" according to Wayne Huelskoetter, Pictographics President. Without having to deal with sliders or curves that can be both challenging and time-consuming, iCorrect makes it possible for users to perform global corrections that instantly adjust the colors within the defined color space so they can easily 'Make the Color Right'?.
The new enhancements that will be released in September include the addition of 48-bit technology (16 bits per channel), an intelligent auto-white and auto-black range adjustment, user- definable preferences, more precise controls for brightness and contrast, and an improved user interface. "These new features will add to both the extent and ease with which images can be transformed into what the user wants to see," says Huelskoetter. Version 3.0 also expands iCorrect's compatibility with other applications. The software operates as a plug-in with Adobe® Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and PhotoDeluxe and other popular photo editing software including, Jasc® PaintShop? Pro 7, and Deneba Software Canvas? 8.

- Easy brightness and contrast adjustments
