Press Release Body = namesuppressed has updated their Softener plugin for Adobe
Photoshop and compatible image programs. Softener gives digital photos the dreamy
look of glamour photos by adding soft focus effects to any image.

Practical applications include smoothing skin in imperfect photos, and adding soft
focus effects to digital wedding photos. Softener reduces the need to use special
lenses when taking photos - the same soft focus effects can be recreated digitally.

Softener includes a range of preset effects, from subtle glows and romantic soft
focus effects, through to strong blurs and glossy magazine effects. Presets can be
used as the basis for an effect and tweaked to get the desired result, or new
settings can be created from scratch. User created presets can be saved for later
use.

Softener is used by all kinds of digital photographers, for everything from
weddings, baby photos & portraits, through to glamour photography and corporate
photos.

The latest update corrects issues with the preview display, and is a free upgrade
for all registered Softener customers.



System Requirements

Softener runs on computers with Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP. At least 32MB of RAM is
required. A 400 Mhz processor is recommended. Any Windows computer made in the
last 5 years should be able to run the software.

Softener also requires a Photoshop plugin compatible application to run. It works
with a range of programs, including Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop
Pro, Corel Photopaint, Irfanview, Ulead Photoimpact and many others.
