Magic Excel Recovery undeletes or recovers spreadsheets created in any version of Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice including Excel 2013. Its highly sophisticated data recovery algorithms come straight from Magic's top of the line partition recovery tool, enabling surefooted recovery from highly problematic, unreadable and inaccessible storage devices, repartitioned hard drives and formatted partitions. Magic Excel Recovery offers the choice of two recovery modes: Quick and Comprehensive. In the Quick scan mode, the tool does what any other Excel recovery tool would do. It reads the file system and identifies records pointing to deleted spreadsheets. In this mode, the recovery takes less than a minute even on huge hard drives. Quick recovery mode works best for undeleting recently deleted documents, but it's worth a shot even if you deleted a file a long time ago. The Comprehensive analysis mode offers vastly superior recovery rate performing low-level whole disk scan to identify and recover spreadsheets by characteristic patterns encountered in XLS, XLSX and ODS files. This mode guarantees recovery from problematic devices and works even if no file system is left on the device. With content-aware search, you can reliably recover spreadsheets located on formatted partitions, inaccessible disks, USB drives and memory cards. Magic Excel Recovery performs a final integrity check before adding a file to the list of recoverable documents. This ensures that every file you see in the thumbnail gallery of spreadsheets available for recovery will come out as a working, non-corrupted document ready to be opened in Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice. Magic Excel Recovery comes with a fully-featured viewer allowing to preview spreadsheets even if no Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice is installed.

ContrastMaster is a plugin for effective contrast enhancement as well as creating dramatic contrast looks, photorealistic paintings, and HDR-like effects. It can turn low-contrast photos into vivid and detailed images and transforms ordinary photos into interesting and dynamic shots. ContrastMaster works with dozens of graphics applications including Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop Elements, Photo-Paint, IrfanView, and PhotoImpact under Windows. For accelerated rendering, it supports hyperthreading as well as multiple processors and cores. ContrastMaster works with 8bit and 16bit RGB images. Overview ContrastMaster offers three local and four global contrast adjustment methods as well as various masking, saturation, and brightness options. The three local adjustment methods allow you to dramatically improve contrast in small image details without blowing out highlights or damaging the image. You can apply these three methods separately or use various options to mix them for even better results. The four global methods (S/H-Contrast, Stretch, Equalize, and Polarize) work on the tonal range of the image and help to improve the result even further. There is also an option for changing the brightness of the image. The masking options let you conveniently remove the ContrastMaster effect from an image area where you do not want to have it applied, e.g. skin areas, a blue sky, or a wall. This can be done with the help of shadow/highlight and color masking options. Additionally, a saturation mask feature lets you improve saturation without oversaturating the image. Sophisticated Algorithms ContrastMaster offers three sophisticated methods for enhancing contrast in small image details. They are calledDynamic, Adaptive, and Local. In fact, these three methods utilize five algorithms in total, because the dynamic and adaptive methods each use another algorithm for certain control settings. Each of these algorithms adjusts the contrast of image details in its own special
