Press Release Body: September, 2008 - AKVIS Software Inc announces the release of
AKVIS Enhancer v.9.5 for Windows and Macintosh. The program allows improving detail
on an image, no matter what was the cause of the unsharpness - poor/excessive
lighting, motion or bad focusing. The standalone version supports HDRI technology.
The new release supports Exif data (the data registered by the camera when shooting,
e.g. the date, the settings, etc). The new version ensures that these data won’t get
lost after the processing.

AKVIS Enhancer is image enhancement software that helps you improve detail on photos
no matter what was the cause of the problem: poor/excessive lighting, motion or bad
focusing.

The software offers three modes that can treat each problem separately:

The Enhancer mode improves detail on a photo. The tool is useful in cases when a
photo has an uneven exposure, e.g., when it is taken against the light source and
the objects on the foreground are underexposed. Or when a photo lacks dramatic
effect due to vagueness of the scene.


The Focus mode improves blurred images by bringing into focus the whole image or
only certain parts of it. The mode offers several presets that are recommended for
the first acquaintance with the program.


The HDR mode is only available in the Standalone version of Enhancer. The HDRI
(High Dynamic Range Imaging) technology expands the dynamic range of an image and
shows details in both shadows and highlights. Note that you will need several shots
of the same scene to generate one HDR-image. But the result is impressive.


Version 9.5 supports the Exif data to the full extent and ensures that the
additional camera information (shooting date, exposure settings, comments, etc) does
not get lost or altered.

The program is available in two versions - as a standalone application and as a
plug-in to a compatible photo editor (Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint
Shop Pro, Corel Photo-Paint, Ulead PhotoImpact, etc). The plug-in version has only
Enhancer and Focus modes. It supports Photoshop batch processing that allows
applying the same settings to a series of images. The plug-in version is compatible
with.

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


Enhancer Plugin sells for $69 USD. Enhancer Standalone with HDRI support sells for
$81. Money saving bundles are available on the product web-site.
