KODAK PROFESSIONAL GEM Plug-in
The KODAK PROFESSIONAL GEM Plug-In isolates and manages noise/grain in highlight and shadow areas without sacrificing image detail or excessive softening. The plug-in allows photographers to create portrait studio quality soft-focus effects, and image sharpening that surpasses the most typical “unsharp mask” filters. It is possible to reduce or remove JPEG compression artifacts, as well as line screening patterns from flatbed scanners.
KODAK PROFESSIONAL GEM AIRBRUSH Plug-in
The KODAK PROFESSIONAL GEM Airbrush software allows users to create an airbrush effect by automatically smoothing areas of a digital image without blurring or reducing fine detail. It minimises the imperfections of skin and other surfaces whilst fully preserving details like hair, eyebrows and the true character of the subject’s face. Working on 8 and 16 bit image files the plug-in can control image details at three levels: fine, medium and coarse. “I specialise in photographing weddings and social events where my clients typically select an average of 100-150 images per album. As a digital photographer who handles my own enhancement to images prior to output, I have saved hours by incorporating the GEM Airbrush Plug-In within my studio ‘back end.’” Michael A. Jonas, M. Photog, CR., CPP
KODAK PROFESSIONAL ROC Plug-in
The KODAK PROFESSIONAL ROC Plug-In restores, balances and corrects the colour of almost any digital image by removing colour casts that have been caused by coloured lighting or fading. The software works by analysing the colour gradients of a digital image and then finding the optimum tone curve for each colour. The plug-in can be used to correct the effects of tungsten and fluorescent lighting and also to restore pleasing density and contrast to black and white digital images. It optimises image white balance and offers automatic or custom control. This plug-in also supports the use of 8 and 16 bit colour image files and full control of image brightness and contrast for better colour and white balance corrections. “Many clients bring old photographs for us to restore from the 1950s and 1960s that exhibit strong discolouration. The ROC Filter provides us an almost instant ‘fix’ tot his problem.” Roy Madearis, Master Photographic Craftsman, Madearis Studio
KODAK PROFESSIONAL SHO Plug-in
The SHO Plug-in optimises contrast and exposure to reveal details hidden in highlights and shadows. The plug-in corrects exposure problems in images with backlit subjects and uneven flash illumination, as well as partial shade. The plug-in analyses the image and reveals the detail in the shadows without sacrificing any detail in the highlights whilst also offering automatic or custom control. The SHO Plug-in allows manipulation of both shadow detail lighting and highlight darkening, giving separate control of the amount of detail to reveal in each area, as well as colour saturation.

About
From Glass Plates to Digital Images
With the slogan "you press the button, we do the rest," George Eastman in 1888 put the first simple camera into the hands of a world of consumers. In so doing, he made what had been a cumbersome and complicated process easy to use and accessible to nearly everyone.
Through the years, Kodak has led the way with an abundance of new products and processes that have made photography simpler, more useful and more enjoyable. Today, our work increasingly involves digital technology, combining the power and convenience of electronics with the quality of traditional photography to produce systems that bring levels of utility and fun to the taking, "making" and utilization of images.
What George Eastman began remains a goal of Eastman Kodak Company today, to provide convenience and quality to our customers so more and more people can experience the special wonders of photography and capture and re-live their more cherished moments.
