ApertureEdit: Plug-Ins for Apple Aperture

Adding to its line ofplug-ins, Human Software is announcing Aperture Edit version 1.0 for Mac OS X and Apple Aperture. All the most needed imaging tools under one very powerful plug-in.
Powerful Image DeNoising
Many digital images especially those taken at higher ISO sensitivities show a "Noise" that affects the quality of the picture. Many cameras increase the sensitivity when shooting in "Action" or "Night" modes. Also, cameras that provide anti-shake using electronics (instead of an image stabilizing lens or a device to stabilize the sensor) will boost sensitivity in order to allow a quicker shutter speed. ApertureEdit AutoDeNoise is there to reduce this digital noise. It is very easy to use, very affordable and appeal to a wide range of users.

Image ReFocusing
How often are you getting a picture slightly blurred because the subject has moved! After any image manipulation you are doing, the image is getting a little more blurred.
ApertureEdit AutoFocus uses powerful mathematical algorithms to refocus the image. AutoFocus reverses the formula by which the image got blurred... this technology gives you AS MUCH of the original "in focus" image as possible. AutoFocus uses a very powerful deconvolution tool that will reclaim the data that has been spread out.

Image Beautifier
ApertureEdit AutoSmooth gives users a quick and powerful way of smoothing skin and other surfaces without blurring or affecting other details or faces characteristic AutoSmooth enables users to automatically achieve meticulous airbrush and retouching effects without tedious, time-consuming masking and manual softening. With AutoSmooth not only you will smoothen skin and get a glamorous look but you will save hours of retouching work while keeping blends and details in a way impossible to achieve manually.

Correct Lens Distortion
ApertureEdit PhotoFixlens corrects barreling and pin-cushioning lens distortion produced by zoom and wide-angle lenses. This tool is especially handy for digital cameras! The effect can be applied on one or multiple images without leaving Apple Aperture

Grid Distortion
ApertureEdit Grids lets you create and use grids for all kind of distortion just on top of your images. Very handy to reverse perspective deformation. But all kind of distortion can be achieved thanks to the double grid mecanism. The most powerful grid distortion on the market today.

Frame or Edge your images right inside Aperture
ApertureEdit MagicFrames features more than 1700 frames/edges in one easy super powerful dialog box so you can frame your photos to your heart delight. Again super powerful and fun to use. The frame might be apply on one or a set of images.

Add Classy Frames inside Aperture
ApertureEdit ClassicFrames offers more than 100 frames similar to what you would find in an home, an office or even a museum. Perfect for portrait photographers.

Add Fractals
ApertureEdit Fractals offers a library of fractals. This module provides creative look for images. Fractalian lights can be generated and blended to all photos.

Put Lights on your Photos
ApertureEdit PhotoLights combines 500 different light effects. All effects like on any of the ApertureEdit modules might be totally modified and used later on other set of images.

Change Surfaces
ApertureEdit Surfaces offers 300 different surfaces. Those surfaces can be instantly previewed on your photo. If the full Aperture bundle is purchased effect might be combined in one single edit.

The Toolbox
Last but not least the ApertureEdit Toolbox. A PowerHouse by itself. 50 powerful blocks like 'legos' can be combined together playing with masks and channels to create any effect you can imagine. Those effects can be saved and recall later on. Among the basic blocks you will find a BW conversion tool, a film grain, a channel mixer, but also an octoposterizer, blur tools, mosaic, deinterlace and much much more. A library os 150 advanced effects using those basic blocks feature Depth of Field, Glow effects, different Kodak/Fui films simulation, Tungsten, polarizer, infrareds etc etc...
