The Digital Photographer's Software Guide
Summary
Distinct from all the cropping, resizing, and other designer-style facilities offered by
image editors, image processing software manipulates the exposure, color balance, contrast,
highlights, and other attributes that determine the appearance of the photograph. This
category is the engine room of digital photography, with dozens of packages and plugins
that allow you to adjust every nuance of luminance and color. Many experienced
photographers have taken the trouble to pass on their knowledge in the form of companion
software containing recommended curves and levels for typical subjects. See the
ever-expanding Power Retouche lineup for an innovative approach to traditional photographic
problems, or Curvemeister for the ultimate curve machine.
