Best-in-class noise reduction to improve the quality of virtually every photo. Features new U Point® technology

What is Noise?
Virtually, all digital cameras inherently create unwanted imperfections known as noise. The amount or type of noise in an image typically depends on the quality and type of imaging sensor with which it was created.
Contrast (Luminance) Noise and Color (Chrominance) Noise can be individually present in an image or might be seen in the same image. Fast or high ISO speeds and low light levels can add noise to images, while some images might exhibit high levels of JPEG artifacts.
 
Introducing Dfine 2.0
Dfine 2.0 gives you unprecedented control over exactly how much and where to apply noise reduction. This makes it ultra-easy to eliminate noise in your images while maintaining detail and sharpness, thus improving the quality of every digital photo you take. Dfine 2.0 is designed to prevent the loss of detail other noise reduction tools often introduce.

U Point® Technology
One of the hottest technologies in digital photography today, U Point technology powered Control Points have been added to Dfine 2.0 making it easy to reduce noise only where it is needed, maintaining details everywhere else.

Selectively Apply Noise Reduction
The Control Point and Color Range methods, along with the Selective Tool offer you the most advanced ways for selectively applying noise reduction to your images.

New and Improved Noise Reduction Engine with Automatic Profiling
Dfine 2.0 contains a brand new reduction engine that provides best-in-class noise reduction while retaining an incredible amount of detail.
Automatic camera profiling replaces the need to purchase camera profiles and fine-tunes Dfine's revamped noise reduction engine to produce the best results for your camera. You can also create and save your own profiles for batch processing images.

Improved User Interface
The new resizable interface lets you easily incorporate noise reduction into your workflow and quickly preview the results from the noise reduction applied.

Powerful Selective Tool (Adobe® Photoshop® only)
The Selective Tool gives you instant access to Dfine 2.0 and allows you to brush filter effects into your image using any brush tool available in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Layers and layer masks are created automatically, enabling you to quickly and easily apply enhancements to precise areas in your image.

Smart Filter Compatibility (Adobe® Photoshop® only)
Dfine 2.0 is Smart Filter compatible which allows you to go back and fine tune your images even after effects have been applied.



 

imageSynth 2 is an advanced technology that allows you to create seamless textures and high-resolution tiled images from low resolution sources. It’s the ultimate organic pattern making tool for creating infinitely tileable images — a “must have” for every artist’s digital tool box. imageSynth 2 now works for you in two ways: you can start the program right inside Adobe Creative Suite Photoshop as a plug-in texture editor, or you can launch imageSynth as a standalone program for creating your own custom, perfectly tiled textures from any graphic image sources. Either way you want to work, imageSynth supports both Mac and PC platforms.

imageSynth takes advantage of today’s modern processors; it’s threaded and optimized for two cores. So you can work up to 10 times faster than before. Improved memory management also speeds up undoing actions. Now there are more options for zooming in and placing texture chunks and you can use the new Eraser tool to selectively remove areas of texture.

imageSynth is ideal for:
- Photoshop Users
- Game Designers
- Character Animators
- Architectural and Mechanical Visualizer
- Advertisers and Print CGI Professionals
- Industrial Designers
- Graphic Artists

Key Features:
» Runs as a plug-in to Adobe Photoshop CS3 or CS4
» Also can run as a standalone program
» Up to 10x faster than imageSynth 1
» Supports dual core machines
» Improved memory management to handle larger scenes
» Accepts one or multiple seed images
» imageSynth not limited to working with (just) naturally noisy images like rocks or concrete
» Output of imageSynth is a new tiling image of specified resolution
» Synthesize new images from a number of image sub-regions or "chunks"
» Chunks can be rectangular or lasso style areas of particular interest
» Each chunk can contribute to new image based on its own user-defined percentage
» Pre-filtering option to smooth image source
» Chunks or entire images can be automatically synthesized into new image

Box Shot 3D is a virtual cover renderer based on ray tracing algorithms. What does this mean? Simply put, the box shots you create will look very realistic. This attractive display is often the deciding factor for purchasing products. Because of high rendering technology, Box Shot 3D’s rendering is so life-like, customers may think they are seeing the actual product photo. Software renderers don’t require 3D acceleration hardware and thus perform all calculations on the CPU. There are two types of software renderers: polygonal and raytracing. Polygonal renderers calculate light in the corner of objects and interpolate it over the object. Raytracing renderers perform physical simulation of light distribution and produce photorealistic images.

Raytracing
Raytracing allows creation of photorealistic images and shadows. Box Shot 3D calculates millions of light rays passing from the light source to the object. The result is a very realistic looking object. Raytracing is usually used for special effects in movies. Box Shot 3D allows you to use this technology for creating box shots!

Realistic Shadows
The use of raytracing leads to “realistic” shadows. Box Shot 3D calculates the amount of light for every pixel in your image. Box Shot 3D also calculates skylight (or atmospheric light) - light emitted by sky. This makes images look even more realistic.

Antialiasing
Box Shot 3D uses many tricks for fast and efficient antialiasing. You will never see rough or pixilated edges again. Everything will be smooth and very realistic.

Reflections
You can fully control the box reflection, transparency and depth on the floor and adjust them with sliders to see result in realtime.

Transparent background
If you want to use the rendered image in a complex project, you can easily output your image with transparent backgrounds (PNG format) for use in your favorite graphics editor. You may also select a solid background color as well.

Different shapes
Box Shot 3D contains many different shapes that can be used for rendering boxes, dvd- and cd-cases, screenshots, books with soft and hard covers or stacks of books. Select the shape you need, insert your images and press “Render”, it’s that easy!

Quality control
The quality of the rendered image can be adjusted. If you need a fast draft render for preview, set the “Quality” slider to the smallest value and rendering will finish faster. When you need full production quality, set this slider to a higher value for the desired output.

Easy to use
Yes. Box Shot 3D is a one of the simplest applications of its kind. It has easy “step-by-step” tabs that quickly guide you through the entire creation process.
