132 The Digital Photographer's Software Guide Photo-Brush Vendor: Mediachance Purpose: Powerful image editor with media-painting, picture-retouching, and photo-enhancing tools Description Photo-Brush is much more than a retouching tool, although this is one of its strengths as you might guess from its name. It is also an image editor, capable of adjusting levels, gamma, curves, hue/saturation, and brightness/contrast; a painting program with texture, artistic, natural, and 3D brushes; scanning software with TWAIN 32 support and auto-dust removal; a texture and special effects generator; and an image browser. Photo-Brush supports RAW images from over 100 cameras and has barrel and pincushion distortion correction and chromatic aberration removal. Its retouching capabilities include red-eye removal, auto color changing, whole object removal with a special bridge tool, and brushes to clean skin tones, lighten or darken the image, and remove scratches. Comments Founded by Czechoslovakian-born developer Roman “Oscar” Voska, who lives in Canada, Mediachance not only produces fine software but presents it very well. Photo- Brush has dozens of first-rate features, some of them unique. For example, in Version 4.0, the developer has included some powerful new selection tools that enable you to make changes to your selection on-the-fly. The Magic Wand selector has a live preview, making it possible to perform “click-and-drag” operations to the selected area, with highlighting shown by false colors. Enthusiasts will find Photo-Brush well worth trying for its innovative selection tools, extensive list of shortcuts, and useful graphic effects. Version: Photo-Brush 4.0 (2008) OS: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, and Vista Supported file formats: RAW (from more than 100 cameras), PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, PCX, TGA, and Adobe PSD Price level: Approx. $45 Address: Ottawa, Canada www.mediachance.com PhotoMagic Vendor: BenVista Purpose: Home photo software suite to enhance, repair, and improve images
