PictoColor Releases
iCorrect EditLab Pro 5.0 Color Correction and Color Editing Software for
Photoshop Users
New
digital photo software features advanced auto black and white
conversion, auto sepia tone, sharpening, and noise removal for turning
everyday pictures into fine art images.
January 17,
2006—Burnsville, MN, USA,
PictoColor Corporation has released
iCorrect EditLab Pro 5.0,
a new version of its highly acclaimed color correction and color editing
software. The new version features advanced automatic black
and white conversion and automatic sepia tone for sophisticated artistic
effects. In addition, iCorrect EditLab Pro 5.0 now includes sharpening
and noise removal technology for enhanced image quality and
productivity. Version 5.0 builds on iCorrect EditLab Pro’s
tradition of fast and easy color correction and color editing by
offering sophisticated, yet easy to use black and white conversion and
toning tools for adding an additional level of expression to an image.
As photographers continue to rediscover the timeless beauty of black and
white photography, iCorrect EditLab Pro 5.0 will help them turn everyday
shots into stunning fine art images.
Black and White
Conversion and Toning
One of iCorrect
EditLab Pro 5.0's advantages over other programs is its ability to
preserve rather than discard the valuable color information
during the conversion process. This makes it possible to easily
"bring back" certain colors on a hue-selective basis for
amazing effects. Coupled with its advanced toning controls,
iCorrect EditLab Pro 5.0 gives the photographer an enormous amount of
creative flexibility.
Sharpening and Noise Removal
For the first
time, iCorrect EditLab Pro 5.0 includes two image processing tools that
go beyond color - sharpening and noise removal. iCorrect EditLab Pro can
now apply sharpening and channel-independent noise removal in combination with color
correction. Since applying a color correction typically makes any
noise even more noticeable, performing both functions simultaneously
offers a great advantage. Combining sharpening and noise removal
with color correction further enhances digital workflow productivity by
eliminating the need for additional steps or other tools.

iCorrect EditLab
Pro 5.0 has become an indispensable color correction tool for many
digital photographers and photo labs. It offers a revolutionary,
yet simple and straightforward way of optimizing the color of any
digital picture and then applying the correction parameters to a batch
of pictures taken under similar conditions. The Photoshop plug-in
version is action enabled and the stand alone version features ProcessQ
for automatically applying customized correction parameters to a group
of pictures. The goal of iCorrect EditLab Pro 5.0 is to provide
professional photographers and photo labs with a workflow tool that will
save time and money in the production of accurate color pictures.
