The Aurelon PhotoPro PhotoTools is a set of post photographic tools neatly packed into one Photoshop plug-in. Directly aimed at the Photoshop professional seeking an easy to use solution with all important tools directly available from one interface. It consists of 5 components that work independently as well as in combination with the other plug-in components. Biggest advantage is the versatile preview pane and the variations pane; a single click guides the user to the results wanted.
The Unsharp Mask component is used for making images look more crisp or for adding special sharpening effects. The filter identifies color differences and offers controls for changing sharpness based on these differences. With easy to use sliders and numerical fields, one can precisely define contour size, sensitivity, amplification and contour response. In addition to these controls, Aurelon added color response sliders that enable selective sharpening based on luminance
All different blur possibilities in one easy to use interface, with full preview. That is what the Advanced Blur component offers. Built on an enhanced algorithm, this PhotoTools component adds 4 commonly used blur styles: Gaussian, Motion, Smart and Radial blur.
The Reduce Noise component not only offers luminance based reduction of digital noise, it also offers chromatic noise reduction (red and blue). Easy to use sliders and numerical fields enable quick and accurate correction of images. The biggest advantage is the combination of chromatic and luminosity correction with the 3-way tonal sensitivity sliders (light, mid, dark). It makes the PhotoPro Reduce Noise component the most effective tool for dealing with jpeg artifacts and digital image noise such as grains, screens and color banding effects.
Aurelon has combined 3 popular 'focus' filters into one component. The X-Focus component includes a soft focus, a vari focus and a depth of focus tool. The soft focus tool lets you create a conventional photographic effect simulating an analog lens. With the mist slider it's easy enough to add that romantic glow commonly seen in old photographs. In combination with a feathered selection area it's only a few clicks to get the soft focus effect one is aiming at. The vari focus tool not only lets you defocus an image, it also adds a sharpening effect using very small, accurate steps. The instant preview of the effect and the comparison to the original image makes it a very easy to use solution. Last, but not least, is the depth of focus tool. It enables adding a depth of focus effect which is normally created during shooting an image. This tool simulates a shallower DOF and brings perception of depth after the image is captured.
The Color Cast component is actually a simulation of a graduated filter. Such filters are used in traditional photography to add a blend of color to a captured scene. Quite often there's a difference between the desired exposure of the main object and the background or foreground. A 'grad' filter adds a color cast on part of the image to compensate for overexposure. Some grad filters have a tint such as 'tobacco' and are used for emphasizing sunset effects. Others may have more unnatural colors - pink or blue or green - for specific types of effects. Some even have tints of two kinds - they go from red to blue, for example. The Aurelon PhotoPro Color Cast component simulates this kind of photo correction. It combines two filters, switched on or off at will, and lets you select the desired color, angle and 'gradient' with maximum density, minimum density and a highlight value.
