April 2005

Dear StudioLine User,

Too late to be an April fool's joke anyway! Yet another new version of StudioLine Photo full of new features is waiting for you.

In addition to countless improvements throughout, this version 2.8 shines in particular with new capabilities for image editing.

Why wait? Get the update today!

Professional Color Management With ICC Profiles

Color profiles define distinct color spaces for individual devices, such as monitors and printers. This assures printed output will match the appearance on your monitor, assuming both devices support color profiles. When images are loaded, StudioLine will detect and use the available color profiles. Any new color profiles are automatically added to a collection for later reuse.

You can assign color profiles to individual images and use preference settings to associate default color profiles with certain cameras.

Perfectly Balanced Images – Easy as Ever

The highly intuitive white balance tool is ideally suited for removing color hues. It's as quick as it is simple.

·     Click "White Balance" in the tool bar or the image toolbox. The mouse pointer changes to a pipette.

·     Click the pipette in an area of the image that you know should be grey.
(You can click either inside the thumbnail image or in the image viewer.)

·     StudioLine automatically corrects the color hue.

·     If necessary, use the various options in the White Balance panel to perfect the results.

Gradation Curves for Fine Tuning

With the help of gradation curves, you can precisely control the luminescence of the individual color separations, as well as the entire image. Once you determine the perfect settings for a particular camera, you can save those by name.

Last, But Not Least

·     Connect a digital camera or card reader to your computer and StudioLine will look for the DCIM folder and open it in StudioLine Explorer. You're ready to load your images in an instant.

·     Extend your personalized descriptor groups simply by dragging and dropping additional descriptors.

·     If you used the "Classification" tab to mark images for email, printing, web gallery or CD/DVD use, simply right-click the marker and start the associate action from the context menu. Images that were marked for CD/DVD writing can either be exported (for other users) or backed up (for data recovery).
