Description
For Photoshop and compatible editors Danish artist Jan Esman has developed an entire
range of plug-ins that are among the most highly regarded in the industry. They are as
follows:
■ Black & White Studio—A “digital darkroom” to convert color images to black and
white, in 8 or 16 bits per channel
■ Illumination Editor—For editing the illumination and shade in a photo, with “set
light direction” feature
■ Dynamic Range Compressor—For full control over all aspects of dynamic range
■ Sharpness Editor—Unsharp masking with optional anti-aliasing
■ Lens Corrector—For correcting common lens distortions, including barreling and
pincushion
■ White-Balance Corrector—Cures any color temperature imbalance, even mixed
neon and halogen
■ Noise Corrector—Includes five different methods to filter noise, plus detail-preservation
masking
■ Film Grain—Emulates traditional film grain and lets you add it to your photos
■ Graduated Color—Lets you apply one or two graduated colors when retouching
■ Toned Photos—Adds color tones such as sepia, kallitype, silver gelatin, cyanotype,
and so on
■ Golden Section—Draws golden sections, golden spiral, golden triangles, rule of
thirds, and harmonic triangles
■ Exposure Corrector—Corrects under- or overexposure in the whole photo or
selected areas
■ Histogram Repair—Uses interpolation to fill in missing values caused by processing
■ Radial Density Corrector—For total vignetting control over radial exposure and
brightness
■ Anti-Aliasing—Gets rid of edge roughness and “jaggies”
■ Black Definition—Lets you adjust black as though it were a color channel
■ Contrast—Lets you control black/white contrast independently of color-contrast,
without changing color or saturation
■ Saturation—Edits saturation without splitting the image up into primary colors
■ Color Corrector—Removes colorcasts from images
