MagicColors 1.0
- Color Enchant Your Images
PeakStars has released MagicColors, a powerful Windows application that turns
ordinary photos and images into stunning masterpieces. Using its unique regional
colormapping technology, MagicColors automatically enhances the colors and
contrast of images.
Before PeakStars introduced its regional colormapping technology, photographers
had two alternatives: Learn to live with murky pictures with many low-contrast
areas, or use High Dynamic Range imaging (HDR software) to merge multiple photographs at
different exposure levels to overcome these contrast problems.
Today, with regional colormapping, it's possible to create images with astonishing
richness and contrast, even in the dark areas that are usually veiled in gray in
most photos. MagicColors needs only one image to improve these degraded contrast
regions. The software identifies regions with different light levels within an
image. A unique colormapping algorithm is applied to improve the contrast of
that region. In simple terms, the program redistributes light values and enhances
contrast. But you have to see the before-and-after images to appreciate how
MagicColors can transform a snapshot into a valuable commercial photograph which
is rich in detail throughout the image.
Business people and home users can use MagicColors' preset values to quickly turn
ordinary pictures into memorable ones. Professional photographers and web designers
can fine-tune the process, and create exactly the image that they need for the job
at hand. With simple slider bars, you can select the number of regions that are
mapped, as well as the pixel distance between neighboring regions that influence
each other. Two additional sliders allow you to adjust the high-shift (light colors)
and low-shift values separately. You can adjust the entire image, or apply the
changes region by region. You can even process a batch of photographs in a single
operation.
Whether you're a professional photographer who needs to optimize all of the
images that you create for a client, a business person who wants to add drama
to web and brochure photos, or a home user who would like to create family
photos and keepsakes that everybody will love, MagicColors has the tools that
you need.
MagicColors runs under Windows 95/98/NT4/2000/XP/Vista, costs $124(US) for a
Personal License or $193(US) for a Professional License, and may be purchased
securely online from http://www.magiccolors.org/. An affordable Student License
