The Digital Photographer's Software Guide
Description
AutoEye reclaims lost color and detail, using a different method to those in Photoshop
or other image editors. In most processing software, you have to tweak several controls
one after the other to get the right result. However, AutoEye’s patented Intelligent Visual
Image Technology works in the background to make adjustments to all the settings at
once. This makes it much easier and quicker to enhance the image.
Like the vendor’s other software, AutoEye is both a stand-alone program for Windows
and Mac, but also behaves as a plug-in for Photoshop and compatible editors. It has a
customizable interface: pretty, but it has no affect on the workflow. Live updating from
the Internet is a more useful housekeeping feature.
Comments
If you want to fine-tune your images to achieve naturalistic effects, you are probably
better off with another package, but if you want to achieve some creative effects—perhaps
to make the image punch more—AutoEye might be the answer. As the vendor
rightly says, some of the “looks” it can achieve are very hard to create in other software.
