Akvis Software has released Akvis Enhancer 9.5 for Mac and Windows systems. The program allows improving detail on an image, no matter what was the cause of the unsharpness. The standalone version supports HDRI technology.
The new release supports Exif data (the data registered by the camera when shooting, e.g. the date, the settings, etc.) and ensures that these data won’t get lost after the processing. The software offers three modes.
In Enhancer mode the program brings out details on one single shot by intensifying color transition. The Focus mode improves blurred images by bringing into focus the whole image or only certain parts of it.
The HDR mode is only available in the Standalone version of Enhancer. The HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging) technology expands the dynamic range of an image and shows details in both shadows and highlights.
Akvis Enhancer is available in two versions—as a standalone application and as a plug-in to a photo editor. The plug-in version of Enhancer has only Enhancer and Focus modes. It supports Photoshop batch processing that allows applying the same settings to a series of images. The plug-in version is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo, Photo-Paint, PhotoImpact, etc.
For a free trial, AKVIS offers 10 days of fully functional use. Details are available at the Akvis web site. Akvis Enhancer runs on Mac OS X 10.4.9 and higher and Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista.
AKVIS Enhancer Plugin sells for US$69 USD. Enhancer Standalone with HDRI support sells for $81. The program also comes bundled with AKVIS Noise Buster (noise reduction software) with a discount of $35.
