Almalence has released PhotoAcute Studio, a Mac OS X compatible edge tool for improving digital photos. It offers a method of dynamic range expansion that removes the noise from the shadow areas of the images.
A weighing technique in the software weighs each pixel in each image to determine how properly it’s exposed. According to the folks at Almalence, PhotoActute never places underexposed pixels into the output image when better exposed pixels are available from other images. Properly exposed pixels are then blended to reduce the noise even more. Additional processing is applied then to analyze the picture and prevent any artifacts.
PhotoAcute Studio is available in portable (US$19), standard ($49) and pro ($R119) versions. A demo is available for download.
