Prices: Conditioner: £9.99  ::  or buy Conditioner + Refiner + MetaGrad for: £19.99

Five essential tools for putting the finishing touch to your images ...

  • Clarifying and Sharpening: the clarifying algorithm brings clarity and vibrancy to your images, while the intelligent sharpening mechanism gives sharpness without exaggerating the grain
  • Exposure Correction: easy-to-use controls allow correction of under and over exposed images
  • Colour Correction: semi-automatic colour correction makes dealing with colour casts a breeze
  • Grain Suppression: a simple but effective grain suppression algorithm for taking the noise out of images
  • Contrast Masking: use the contrast masking feature either to perform subtle fine-tuning, or for correcting more serious exposure problems

Examples...

This image was shot, quite literally, "from the hip"; the camera was pointing skyward, causing the metering system to expose for the sky. The result was a badly under-exposed main subject. I used the Exposure Correction and Contrast Mask controls in combination to balance things up, bringing colour and detail into the shadow areas while retaining the detail in the sky.

In this case, we have a scan taken from a very old, and badly damaged colour transparency slide. Conditioner's automatic colour correction handled the red colour cast well, though I made a slight manual reduction in the blue and green sliders to bring the colour of the building closer to a subjective white.

With most lenses, contrast tends to suffer at full zoom; the effect was compounded here by using digital zoom. The result can be fixed quite effectively using the clarifying feature together with exposure correction to reduce the exposure, increase contrast, and boost saturation slightly. However, on this occasion, I tried using the automatic colour correction on its own, and got a good result; in effect, Conditioner removed a white colour-cast!

This image was taken in very bright mid-afternoon sunlight, and suffers extremes of contrast. I used the contrast mask controls, but on this occasion resorted to tweaking the advanced settings in order to get a better result.
