Press Release Summary = AKVIS Enhancer is detail-revealing software for image
editing. Supports HDRI.

Press Release Body = August, 2007 - AKVIS LLC announces the release of AKVIS
Enhancer v.7.0 for Windows and Macintosh. Now the program supports HDRI (High
Dynamic Range Imaging). The new version is available as a stand-alone application
and as a plugin to a photo editor.

AKVIS Enhancer is image enhancement software that detects detail in
underexposed, overexposed and mid tone areas of a photo. You can improve detail on a
single shot or use the HDR mode to create an HDR image out of a series of shots.

When applied to one shot, AKVIS Enhancer brings out details by intensifying
color transition. It strengthens the difference between adjacent pixels that have
different color gradations and therefore reveals not only the details in the shadow
but even the details in the overexposed areas and mid-tones. Demonstrations:

Most images can be improved at default settings. For further adjustment you have
four parameters at your disposal: Details in Shadows, Details in Highlights, Level
of Detail and Lightness.

The stand-alone version of Enhancer supports HDRI (High Dynamic Range
Imaging). This technology expands the dynamic range of an image and allows creating
impressing pictures. The mode requires several shots of the same scene taken with
different exposures.

The plug-in version of Enhancer supports Photoshop batch processing that allows
applying the same settings to a series of images. The plug-in version is compatible
with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel (Jasc) Paint Shop Pro, Corel
Photo-Paint, Corel Painter, Ulead Photo-Impact, etc.

In addition to its appeal to the amateur photographer and home user, AKVIS Enhancer
is a useful tool in the production of technical and industrial photographs, or for
revealing subtle details within medical imaging and forensic photos. Demonstrations
of AKVIS
Enhancer\'s features are available at http://akvis.com/en/enhancer-tutorial/index.php
.

For a free trial, AKVIS offers 10 days of fully functional use.
