Contrast Mask 2 - Photoshop Plugins

This plugin uses a contrast mask to reduce the overall contrast of the image, simultaneously bringing out more detail in both highlights and shadows. A black and white negative of the image is blurred (with a radius controlled by the "Smoothing" slider) to avoid hard edges and then overlayed with the original, darkening the highlights and lightening the shadows. The opacity of the overlay is controlled by the "Strength" slider.

High Pass Sharpening - Photoshop Plugins

This is a plugin to sharpen photos with the classic high pass method. The user can adjust the high pass filter radius, and control the blending with the original image. A high pass output preview is also available to help the user adjust the filter radius up to the point the edges to be sharpened show up. High pass sharpening is generally considered to produce less halos and other sharpening artifacts than USM.

Selective Saturation - Photoshop Plugins

There are times when some parts of a photo require a saturation adjustment while others do not. If we increase the saturation globally, the most saturated parts get oversaturated and if we decrease it, the less saturated parts get undersaturated. We need a Saturation Mask based on the individual pixel saturation in order to adjust it just where it is needed. Unfortunately even Photoshop does not provide a fast and straightforward way to create a saturation mask, like it does for brightness masks. So this plugn, Selective Saturation, lets the user define a Saturation Zone by setting it's center and range with two sliders.

Local Contrast Enhancement - Photoshop Plugins

This plugin's main purpose is to bring out detail. It is accomplished by increasing the contrast between a pixel's value and the mean value of the adjacent pixels in a local area of the photo.

Advanced color matching for seamless patches without color bleeding. The ability to finetune the patch after placement. Unlimited undo/redo.

Vignette Corrector - Photoshop Plugins

Vignetting is the brighness fallof at the corners of an image. This is a rather universal phenomenon, however it is more pronounced for wide-angle lenses.
Vignetting can be very disturbing if you want to combine a set of images to a panorama (panorama stitching). You want to compensate that unwanted effect on the individual frames before stitching. Vignette Corrector offers you a number of controls to adjust the size and brightness of the vignette. In addition you can modify the tint and saturation. This is useful for scanned negatives, where you cannot compensate vignetting with brightness modifications alone.
