Greetings,
This issue of PictoScript highlights technology and products we have featured during the first half of the year and what to look for during the second half.

Featured Technology: iCorrect EditLab Pro
Last year we featured iCorrect Portrait with our incredible Skin Tone Technology, a favorite of David Ziser and wedding photographers. This year our focus is iCorrect EditLab Technology, the most powerful color correction software in our portfolio. iCorrect EditLab Pro Photoshop Plug-in and iCorrect ProApp stand alone for Lightroom provide the pro photographer the tools to streamline the color correction workflow. The benefit of iCorrect EditLab Pro Technology: Spend less time and effort color correcting photos. Scroll down to learn more about EditLab Pro.

Photoshop CS5 64 Bit Compatibility--Coming Soon. Many of our customers are upgrading to 64 bit computers and Photoshop CS5 and are disappointed that our plug-ins will not work in 64 bit mode. We, like other plug-in developers, are working on new versions that will solve this dilemma, but it will take a little time since the task of upgrading to new versions of PS and OS is significant. We will be releasing new 64 bit plug-ins over the next several months as they are completed. In the meantime, all of our plug-ins work with the 32 bit version of CS5 on both Win and Mac computers. All plug-in orders after April 1, 2010 will receive a free upgrade when they are released.

iCorrect OneClick iPhone App If you are an iPhone or iPod touch user you will want to download the new iCorrect OneClick iPhone App from the App Store. In addition to making the color right the new app streamlines iPhone camera operation. It has the same OneClick Color Technology that is available in iCorrect OneClick Photoshop plug-in and CorrectPhoto Editor. ImageTitler™ --The Simple Way to Add Titles and Text to Photos (Windows Only) If you are looking for a simple and fast way to add titles and text to photos PictoColor's ImageTitler is the ideal program for you. For more information on ImageTitler go to www.imagetitler.com. The new version  released in March includes more fonts, sizes, and colors. Buy it now for only $19.95.

Featured Technology: iCorrect EditLab

 iCorrect^® EditLab combines iCorrect^® color technology with image processing and automated workflow and batch processing features to make digital photo color correction extremely fast and easy.

iCorrect EditLab Pro makes global color corrections based on:

• an automatic analysis of your image,
• analysis of certain reference or "memory" colors that you identify in your image,
• interactive dialog control settings, and
• Photoshop's color management setup.

Without a doubt, some of the fastest and easiest color correction and color editing tools are found in iCorrect EditLab 5.5 Pro Plug-in and iCorrect EditLab ProApp 6.0 (stand-alone version).  Even if you are among the most proficient Photoshop aficionados, iCorrect EditLab Pro technology can save you hours in front of your computer and give you better results.

This month we are featuring our award winning flagship color correction and color editing software, iCorrect EditLab Pro.  If your workflow is based on Photoshop or Elements we recommend iCorrect EditLab Pro 5.5 Plug-in.  If you use Lightroom and have hundreds of photos to color correct you will reduce the hours you spend in front of your computer with the stand alone version, iCorrect EditLab ProApp with ProcessQ. The color correction and editing technology is identical in both versions of EditLab Pro. Many of our customers have both versions.  We use the stand-alone version all the time at the office and are still amazed at the speed with which we can correct literally hundreds of images in no time at all.  Once you understand the options available with the various "Start With" functions and set the "SmartColor" parameters to suit your preferences, you, too, will find it to be a very useful addition to your imaging arsenal.

 iCorrect EditLab Pro-The Extra Advantage

Let's take a look at the following image, and see how iCorrect EditLab Pro gives you additional tools for fine tuning your work.  Its four panel user interface (identified by four numbered tabs) allows you to address independently, color balance, tonal range, brightness/contrast/saturation, and hue-selective edits along with predefined reference or memory colors.  The unique feature of way it handles color space, is that as you correct one thing, you don't inadvertently offset or ruin something else.  As you progress through the tool tabs from left to right, and change you make cannot affect something you did in the previous tab.

First, correct the Color Balance by simply clicking on the black and white cap to remove the overall bluish color cast.

Next, correct the Tonal Range by adjusting the black point and midtone.

Then, fine tune the Brightness/Contrast/Saturation by independently adjusting the global brightness, shadows, highlights, contrast and global saturation.

Finally, finish by tweaking things on a hue-selective basis by boosting the saturation of her sweater, darkening the foliage, and enhancing the skin tones and bench by shifting their hue slightly, increasing their saturation and making them a little bit darker to give them a richer look.
