Chroma Mask is THE software for masking and cropping using Chroma Key. It can automatically mask and crop the subject already while shooting and display the cropped subject in front of a new background. You can save color corrections along with a background as a "theme" so spontaneous motto-shoots are always possible. Besides using the popular green and blue background for masking Chroma Key also lets you key using the red channel. This is usually avoided in people's photography since skin tones are rich in reds but it can be a great solution for shooting products that feature a lot of blue or green. Remove a green, blue, or red background automatically while still shooting. Our special color spill correction removes colored reflections caused by the background and recovers the original color of the subject. Easy adjustment of the mask in edge mode. 3D LUT support for color grading the subject (e.g. to match the background.) Save the background image along with the 3D LUT as a "theme". Blur the background image. Automatically detect, load, and mask new images for tethered shootings.

Color Cone is an entirely new concept for color correction as well as the creation of looks. This software is powerful as well as intuitive and it can deliver impressive results with a few clicks. Color Cone is based on an HCL-color model which is visualized in the form of a bicone (which has also given Color Cone its name). The HCL-color model is not as common or as widespread as the HSV model but is much more suitable for photo editing. It offers several advantages since shadows and highlights possess almost no chroma in this color model. 100% black and 100% white generally have no saturation even if other models allow for this. Even similar colors in various positions as they occur in the upper and lower part of a color cylinder are excluded in the HCL model. Through a clever transformation from the source to the target colors with Picture Instruments' own Color Warp technology even drastic changes in color even in 8-bit images can still look very smooth. To create a look or correct colors you can define one or several points. Each of these points has a source and a target color value as well as a radius defining how great the effects should be to the surrounding colors. In this way, very specific edits can be done using a very small radius whereas a bigger radius can help you create a desired atmosphere in an image.

Quickly resize a few images to send them in an email for example… is quickly done with the software Fast Resize! Simply drag a few images or even an entire folder containing many images onto the program icon and the folder containing the resized images will open automatically. After that, you could easily drag your images onto an email client. Scaling your images with Fast Resizes default settings will easily allow you to send up to 20 of these images in one email with most service providers. In addition to the default settings, you can also manually set your scaling options in the software. You can select a fixed output size in pixels or percent of the original size. The JPEG compression factor can manually be set between 0 and 100% quality. In addition, you can also add an individual file name extension, which will be added to each scaled image. In addition to a random character string, you can also add various attributes of the scaled image in angle brackets. for example, represents the length of the long edge of the image in pixels. The string x would add the extension x1500 to an image with a size of 1000x1500 pixels. You can find all available attributes in the help section in Fast Resize. Scaled images can be saved to the original folder, to a subfolder "Fast Resize" within the original folder, or into a folder that you can assign individually. Optional the folder containing the scaled images will open automatically after every scaling but you can also open this folder at a later point from within the program without searching for it. In addition to dragging the images you wish to scale onto the program icon you can also just drag them over the active window of the open program.

Unlimited creativity when working with LUTs LUT Mixer opens up completely new creative possibilities when you work with LUTs. Most programs can only apply multiple LUTs one at a time. Since many LUTs are optimized to be used on neutral images, the second LUT you apply will usually not give you the desired result. With LUT Mixer, you can combine up to five LUTs and decide whether you want to apply them stronger or weaker than they are. In addition, you can protect the skin tones from the influence of the LUTs and edit them separately. This way you don't have to push the sliders forever to get a cool look. There are no limits to your creativity.

Create Hollywood looks via copy-and-paste. Load an image having a breathtaking look and Image 2 LUT will automatically generate a professional look from it. To see, how it will work on other images, you can load a reference image into the target area and see how the look is applied to it. To further adjust the look or create any number of variations from it, Image 2 LUT offers a few very helpful options. Along with the general intensity of the coloring, you can also control its influence on skin tones in the image. You can control the skin tones intensity independently and a loss in contrast from a source image with a faded film look can always be dialed back seamlessly with our software. The one-color-look option homogenizes differing tints in various areas of the image and heavily saturated colors can be protected optionally to achieve a higher brilliance for the look. Afterward, you can save the reference image along with the look as a file on your computer or export it as a 3D LUT for further use in other photo and video editing software. Available as output formats are the LUT-formats 3dl, cube17, cube32 and mga. In addition, it is possible to directly send the look to Unlimited Filters.

The plugin uses intelligent algorithms and already suggests the first look when you open it. If it isn't the right fit for your picture, then you can use the "Inspire" button to get inspired until you find a suitable look for your picture. If you discover exciting looks that you want to remember, then simply save them in one of the ten buffers, from which you can also retrieve them at any time. With Creative Looks you no longer have to push the sliders forever or endlessly click through your filter library. To achieve top results with Creative Looks, we have intensively analyzed the looks of the most popular Hollywood movies and the most popular influencers and advertising photographers and put these findings into this easy-to-use tool. We found out that there are frequently used key elements in image processing. This includes for example the separate processing of natural elements such as sky blue and plant green or working with complementary contrasts. In addition to the automatic look creation, we have put a separate slider for each key element of the modern image processing into the plugin, which allows you to create outstanding images quickly and easily. All functions of the Creative Looks plugin control Lightroom's parameters, which allows you to customize the created look subsequently or save them as presets. This way the plugin integrates perfectly into your non-destructive workflow and you always reach your goals in no time.

Control Lightroom Sectionwise. You can use the Section Adjust plugin to amplify or soften all Lightroom settings (also whole presets) together with the master control. Furthermore, you can control the parameters sections (for example all RGB curves, all HSL controls, etc.) with the dedicated controls. The different sections can also be locked in the plugin so that the master control moves everything at the same time as the locked sections. Amplify or soften all Lightroom settings with just one control. Subsequent adjustment of presets. Quick removal of undesired effects in a preset. Adjust the parameters sectionwise. A clear preset library because every preset only has to be saved in one intensity level. Gain time while adjusting looks.

With the Preset Adjust Plugin you can increase or decrease all Lightroom controls or complete presets with just one single slider. Besides the master control, there are also additional controls to change multiple Lightroom settings together at the same time, for example, all brightness and contrast changes, all saturation changes, or all changes that tint the picture. Each slider controls multiple Lightroom parameters at the same time, so you don't have to use each control in Lightroom separately to adjust a preset. This can be especially helpful when it comes to amplifying or softening curves because it can be difficult to move all the points on a curve manually while keeping them in the same relation to each other. The different effect categories can also be locked in the plugin so that the master control moves everything together besides the locked categories. Amplify or weaken the look with just one control. Subsequent adjustment of presets. Quick adaptation of the desired looks to your image. Adjust Lightroom settings grouped by effect category. Presets don't have to be saved in different intensity levels anymore. Saving post-processing time.
