Photo Restoration Software - Image Doctor 2
Take From Shutterbug.
For retouching old or new photos, softening skin for portraits, removing unwanted objects, or repairing
Blemishes, whether it's a skin problem, a scar, a mole, or even a tattoo. With old photos, restoration involves selecting a scratch, tear, or fold, and clicking your mouse . Do you have a fine landscape or cityscape marred by trash, graffiti, or some other unwanted object? ID2's Smart Fill tool can whisk these away and replace them with realistic samples of the surrounding areas. Finally, ID2 can help smooth out jagged, blocky JPEG files that are low resolution or have been over-compressed. While these corrections can be performed within most advanced image editors like Adobe's Photoshop, this Photo Restoration Software offers speed, simplicity, and a degree of automation for retouching jobs that usually demand a fairly high level of editing skill and experience.
This Photo Restoration Software works as a plug-in, so first fire up your host program I've used Photoshop here then open your photo, examine it and decide what areas need work. Select the area you need to repair using any of Photoshop's selection tools, then choose the appropriate ID2 filter from the Filter menu. At the bottom of the ID2 window, Help text describes whatever feature your mouse is currently over. There's also a PDF Manual.
Today, everyone uses their cell phone as a camera, but small file size and low quality can disappoint more discerning photos. This Photo Restoration Software can help you smooth badly compressed JPEGs, including cell phone photos, to display them in a larger format on screen or to print them. To clean up a highly compressed JPEG, you don't need to make a selection. Just run JPEG Repair. Smoothing out the noise and pixelation does usually come at the price of whatever fine detail may have been captured. In my tests, sometimes the original photo looked better because of needed detail while other images benefited from ID2's smoothing.
A graphics tablet, such as Wacom's professional Intuos3 line, or one from their consumer . Bamboo line, can ease and speed up the retouching process considerably. To make selections, you can draw precisely with a pen rather than trying to trace small areas with a bulky mouse.
This Photo Restoration Software works on both Mac OS X 10.4 or later, and Windows XP or later. To plug it in, you'll need Adobe's Photoshop CS2 or later, Elements 4.0.1 or later on the Mac, Elements 5 or later for Windows, Fireworks CS3 (except Live Effects not supported), or Corel's Paint Shop Pro Photo X2
or later. MSRP is $199.
