order   download

This Adobe PhotoShop plug-in mainly concentrated on image sharpening and brightness correction using glowing.

Full version interface:


Left part: On the left part of plug-in window located sharpening control options. Detail levels can be specified with checkboxes. All four checkboxes can be turned on simultaneously. The last checkbox allows to select user-defined detail size. Slider controls near checkboxes defines how strong sharpening effect will be applied for selected detail size.

Right part: Right part of interface allows to activate brightness/glow image processing. To enable this processing, "Enable" checkbox must be checked. There are two modes available:
- Lighten mode ("Lighten")
- Darken mode ("Darken")

"Strength" slider defines glow effect strength. Left position tells plug-in not to use this effect.
"Intensity" slider allows to choose how much brightness effect are used.

By clicking "Update" button, image is processed using selected setup, generating a preview. Options tweaking can be continued.

When tweaking is done - press "Ok" button.


Comparing "sharpen part" with classic "Unsharp Mask" effect:

1. Original image.
2. BC - Sharpen/Glow processed image.
3. Unsharp Mask processed image.



Presented images shows, that with equal sharpening level (very high in this example for testing purposes), Unsharp Mask processed images have higher noise amplitude.


Examples:


1. Original

2. Sharpen 0.5, 2.0, 10 pixel modes is checked. For 2.0 mode intensity slider set to middle.

3. Original

4. Glow. Lighten mode. Strength slider set to left (null). Intensity set to middle.

5. Glow. Darken mode. Intensity set to middle.
