LightMachine Description

Shadow/highlight, virtual lighting and color-based corrections graphics plug-in LightMachine is a plugin for performing all kinds of light adjustments in photos. LightMachine combines shadow/highlight, virtual lighting and color-based correction tools for performing sophisticated corrections without the need for time-consuming selections and layer stacks. LightMachine lets you selectively correct photos taken under bad light conditions or with inadequate camera settings and achieve results that rival photos taken under the best circumstances. Additionally LightMachine can achieve special effects like glows, sunsets, high key and selective b/w effects, replace one color with another and simulate polarizing filters. LightMachine works in dozens of graphics applications including Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, PhotoImpact, Photo-Paint, Paint Shop Pro, IrfanView, and Fireworks under Mac OS X and Windows.LightMachine also runs natively in Photoshop CS3 and CS4 on Intel-Macs. LightMachine can be applied to 8bit and 16bit RGB images.LightMachine corrects brightness, contrast, color and saturation in specific image areas independently from each other. It basically consists of four different filters each split up into a simple mode suitable for beginners and a Pro mode with more features for more flexibility. The Brightness/Contrast modes adjust brightness and contrast throughout the image which is nice as a starting point. The Shadows/Highlights modes give you complete control over dark and bright image areas and let you correct them completely independently from each other with the help of sophisticated masking options. The Virtual Studio modes allow you to place an unlimited number of shadow and light spots as if you were placing studio lights in a real photo studio. The intensity, size, ovality, angle, hardness and reflection properties of each spot can be adjusted precisely. Finally, the Colors modes let you selectively correct image objects of a specific color by clicking on them.You need one of the following applications to use the MacOS X versions:· Adobe Photoshop (Version 7 and higher)· Adobe ImageReady (Version 7 and higher)· Adobe Photoshop Elements (Version 2 and higher)· Adobe Illustrator (Version 10 and higher)· ACDSystems Canvas (Version X and higher)· CiEBV Photoline 32 (Version 11.52 and higher)· Corel Painter (Version 9 and higher)· LemkeSoft GraphicConverter (Version 5.7 and higher)· Macromedia Fireworks (Version 7 (MX 2004) and higher)· and it probably works in several graphics applications that support Photoshop plugins.
