Luxology, an independent technology company developing 3D content creation software, has released ImageSynth 2, the newest version of its image processing tool. It offers up to 10 times faster performance, and is now available in both a standalone version and as a plug-in for Adobe Creative Suite 4.
The ImageSynth software allows users to create a new synthetic image based on areas of interest that are identified in one or more source images. imageSynth can handle a range of image subjects, and is especially useful when working with “noisy” images such as crowds or beach pebbles, says Brad Peebler, president and co-founder of Luxology. The royalty-free images that imageSynth creates are derivations and will tile together seamlessly, making them ideal for use as backgrounds, brushes or texture maps, he adds.
ImageSynth 2 sports a new algorithm is threaded for use on dual-core systems. It also offers improved memory management that enables handling of larger scenes and has new control over chunk size and orientation
ImageSynth 2 is available now for US$99. Existing imageSynth users can upgrade for $49. The software works with Adobe Photoshop CS3 or higher and also includes a new standalone version.
