AKVIS Enhancer is image enhancement software that detects detail in underexposed, overexposed and mid tone areas of a photo.

You can improve detail on a single shot or use the HDRI mode to create an HDR image out of a series of shots.

For example, when a picture has been taken with the background overexposed, the foreground is hardly discernible (especially annoying when it's a picture of a person.)

Or, the background of a picture might be so washed out that you wonder what the scenery was like.

If you try to reveal details in highlighted or overshadowed areas using exposure correction (e.g. levels) you run the risk of spoiling the parts of the image that you want unchanged.

It means that Enhancer strengthens the difference between adjacent pixels that have different color gradations and therefore reveals not only the details in the shadow but even the details in the overexposed areas and mid-tones.

AKVIS Enhancer is useful not only for correction of family and art photos, but can be effective as well in technical use.

Publishers of technical literature can apply Enhancer to show equipment illustrations in detail; doctors can use Enhancer to increase the level of detail on roentgenograms, etc.

HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging) is a technology that expands the dynamic range of an image and shows details in both shadows and highlights.The plug-in version of Enhancer supports Photoshop batch processing that allows applying the same settings to a series of images.

The plug-in version is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel (Jasc) Paint Shop Pro, Corel Photo-Paint, Corel Painter, Ulead Photo-Impact, etc.
