Enhancer
is an image enhancement software
for revealing details on a picture. Enhancer
allows detecting details from underexposed,
overexposed and mid tone areas of a photo
without manipulating exposure.
AKVIS Enhancer is image
enhancement software that improves detail
on an image, no matter what was the cause
of the unsharpness. The program detects
detail in underexposed, overexposed and
mid tone areas of a photo with uneven
exposure. It brings into focus blurred
images. Starting with version 7.0, the
program supports HDRI technology.
AKVIS Enhancer works in
three modes: Enhancer, Focus, and HDRI.
In the Enhancer and Focus modes you can
improve a picture using one single shot;
in the HDR mode you need a series of shots,
but the result is impressive.
In Enhancer mode
the program brings out details on one
single shot by intensifying color transition.
It means that Enhancer strengthens the
difference between adjacent pixels having
different color gradations and therefore
allows revealing not only details in the
shadow but even details in the overexposed
and mid tone areas.
In Focus mode
the program improves sharpness of blurred
images. It happens that the camera fails
to focus on the object of shooting and
it comes out unsharp. This mode can save
such out-of-focus images. You can refocus
the whole image or bring only certain
element of the image into focus.
In HDR mode
(only in Standalone version) the program
combines a series of images to get one
HDR picture. This technology allows expanding
the dynamic range of an image and shows
details in both shadows and highlights.

The tool is
useful in the cases when a photo
lacks details. For example, when
a picture has been taken with the
background overexposed and consequently
the foreground is hardly discernible,
which is especially annoying when
you take a picture of a person.
If the background
of a picture represents an undistinguished
spot and you wonder what was the
scenery like. If a photo lacks dramatic
effect due to vagueness of the scene.

If you try to reveal
details in highlighted or overshadowed
areas using exposure correction (for example,
Levels) you run the risk of spoiling the
parts of the image that you want to leave
unchanged.
The idea behind Enhancer
is entirely different. Enhancer brings
out details by intensifying color transition.
It means that Enhancer strengthens the
difference between adjacent pixels having
different color gradations and therefore
allows revealing not only details in the
shadow but even details in the overexposed
and mid tone areas.
Earlier it was possible
(and such image enhancement programs exist)
to achieve the same result by manipulating
with 2-4 shots of the same scene. Enhancer
does it all out of one shot thanks to
the advanced algorithm of photo correction.
Enhancer
is useful not
only for correction
of family and
art photos, but
can be effective
as well in technical
use. Publishers
of technical literature
can apply Enhancer
to show equipment
illustrations
in detail; doctors
can use Enhancer
to increase the
level of detail
on roentgenograms,
etc. |
