| Kodak Image Enhancement Plug-Ins |
Kodak Professional Image Enhancement Plug-Ins let you quickly and easily improve the most
common problems associated with digital images. Whether you are a professional photographer
or an ADOBE PHOTOSHOP Software enthusiast, choose from four professional and three standard
versions depending on what you need to achieve. You can quickly and easily optimize images
to improve quality and create even more compelling results.KODAK DIGITAL ROC PROFESSIONAL PLUG-IN Works with the DIGITAL ROC Professional Plug-In to restore, correct, and balance color of digital images with problems of tinting, color casting, fading, or abnormal lighting. It is best for extremely tinted images with little or no information in one of the color channels. Automatically correct, restore, and balance image color brightness and contrast. Proprietary algorithms analyze the color gradients and determine the optimum tonal curve for each color channel to remove the colorcast, tint, and fading. You can correct for the effects of tungsten and fluorescent lighting. The plug-ins also restore pleasing density and contrast to black-and-white images. And they optimize image white balance; and offer automatic or custom control. Both versions support the use of 8- and 16-bit color images. With the professional version you get full control of image brightness and image contrast (black-and-white clipping) for better color and white-balance corrections. KODAK DIGITAL SHO PROFESSIONAL PLUG-IN Works with the DIGITAL SHO Professional Plug-In to reveal details hidden in the shadows and highlights. It emphasizes skin tones and detail areas in the center (or focal point) of your image. It de-emphasizes the outer edges of the image by applying a subtle vignette, leaving the dark and light areas near the edges untouched. Both DIGITAL SHO Plug-Ins optimize contrast and exposure to reveal details hidden in highlights and shadows. They correct exposure problems in images with backlit subjects and uneven flash illumination as well as partial shade. Control can be automatic or custom. Both versions work on 8-bit color images. The professional plug-in works on both shadow detail lighting and highlight darkening—giving you separate control of the amount of detail to reveal in each area, as well as color saturation. The standard version works only on shadow or dark image areas. KODAK DIGITAL GEM PROFESSIONAL PLUG-IN Complements the DIGITAL GEM Professional Plug-In to reduce image noise and film grain. It preserves image detail and sharpness and reduces noise and grain. Image noise can be caused by a variety of factors— digital camera/scanner CCD/sensor noise, high-speed film grain (from scans), adverse lighting conditions, JPEG compression, and image enlargement. With this plug-in, you can isolate and manage noise/grain in highlight and shadow areas without sacrificing image detail or excessive softening. Create portrait studio quality soft-focus effects, and image sharpening, that surpasses most typical "unsharp mask" filters. Reduce or remove JPEG compression artifacts, as well as line screening patterns from flatbed scans. The standard version works on 8-bit images. The professional version adds advanced features, such as additional algorithms, and 16-bit capability to control noise and grain. KODAK DIGITAL GEM AIRBRUSH PROFESSIONAL PLUG-IN Supplements the DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In to smooth skin surfaces. It adds subtle shadowing detail to areas that may appear too flat. It works on skin-tone areas, as well as background elements, to bring back shadow dimensionality while maintaining the smoothing effects of the plug-in. For a quick and powerful way of smoothing skin without blurring or affecting facial-feature detail. Achieve meticulous airbrush effects, automatically, without tedious, time-consuming masking and manual softening. Equalize unflattering facial highlights and shadows—smooth surfaces by reducing harsh shadows and highlights, minimize skin imperfections and other surfaces, while fully preserving details like hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, and the true character of a subject's face. Control image detail at three levels: fine, medium, and coarse. It works on 8- and 16-bit images. |

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.
