With an » upgrade to » StudioLine Photo Classic 5 you'll benefit from many additional, |
Frequently used descriptors
combinations can be input and
stored as forms. Those forms
can be used anytime to set or
update descriptors in a
selection of images.
User-controlled rules tell the
system how to deal with values
that might already exist in
some of the images. |
The XMP standard enables the
exchange of metadata between
applications. This supports
foreign letters and special
characters across platforms. |
More tools are available to
optimize your images: |
· |
Gaussian smoothing |
· |
Selective smoothing |
· |
Unsharp mask |
The detail view allows direct
before/after comparison of
edited images. There is a
thumbnail ribbon for quick
navigation between images. |
With the help of location data
supplied by GPS data loggers
or digital cameras, photos can
be displayed on digital maps or
satellite images. Manual
geotagging is as easy as
dragging each photo to its
intended location on a digital
map. |
The white balance tools has an
intuitive user interface to restore
natural color tones by
correcting unwanted hues. |
Any folder can set default
values for the descriptors of
images that are added to that
folder. Per example, copyright,
location, event and
photographer could be preset.
This reduces the work involved
with properly annotating images
and reduces the chance of
errors or omissions. |
Images from any number of
folders can be collected to a
lightbox or marked for
subsequent export, email, print,
web gallery use or CD/DVD
burning. |
Favorite images are found
quickly if they have been
assigned a 1-to-5 star rating.
The rating can also be used to
sort folder content. |
An annual overview summarizes
all images from a given year
and that are located in a
particular folder tree, per
example all images of a specific
year in the folder "Vacations"
and its subfolders. A monthly
view shows thumbnails for the
first picture taken on any single
day. The detail view shows all
pictures for any number of
selected days. |
The convenient load assistant
saves time and effort by
identifying new files in a folder.
Before importing images, sound
and video files to the image
archive, the user can also make
a selection of relevant or
worthwhile files in a folder. |
Video files can be dragged and
dropped into the image archive.
A new thumbnail image is
chosen by clicking the movie
icon below the default (or
currently displayed) thumbnail. |
Original images can be backed
up to hard disk. The backup will
be stored in the specified target
directory, irregardless of
whether the original images
were stored in the image
archive or kept on various disk
drives external to StudioLine. |
Color profiles can be assigned
to individual images.
Camera-specific ICC profiles
can be set up to be
automatically used for new
images that are imported from
those cameras. |
Free web galleries are fully
customizable to fit any page
design. The StudioLine logo or
links that are created by
StudioLine Photo Basic will be
omitted. |
The advanced settings for RAW
and DNG files are applied in the
extended color space for these
formats. Edit your images
directly in the RAW or DNG
format. |
With the integrated layout editor
one can freely design album
pages, greeting cards,
invitations, table cards,
thank-you notes, certificates,
flyers, e-cards, collages -
anything that can be printed or
emailed. |
The enhanced Load Assistant
offers additional rules to
automatically assign image
names. Keywords can be
preset and forms can be used
to initialize any of the image
descriptors. |
It's easy to dam a flood of
images by suppressing
currently irrelevant images
based on any number of
criteria. The remaining images
of interest are displayed in their
original folder context for easy
navigation. |
A spell-checker can verify long
text passages or unchecked
text that may have been pasted
from other applications. Easy
access to a drop-down list of
previously used content helps
maintaining consistency
between multiple images. |
Sound files can be associated
with individual images. That
makes it easy to add voice
annotations to a slide show. |
Be creative in the Photo Lab. |
Any number of keywords or
categories can be dragged onto
applicable images. A few clicks
on a combination of keywords
or categories is all it takes to
see matching images. With the
help of an "in-use" list of
keywords and categories it's
easy to find related images. |
18 view options that refresh with
each editing step allow for an
accurate analysis for the
luminescence distribution. |
The gradation curve tool
manipulates the luminescence
distribution for the entire image
or individual color channels by
controlling any number of points
on the curves. |
On-screen slide shows can be
enhanced with background
music and sound bits that were
associated with individual
images. |
To integrate with other
applications, keyword and
category lists may be imported
and exported in XML, plain text
or tab-delimited files. |
Store frequently used image
tools (filters) or entire filter
sequences as templates. This
way the same tool settings are
available at any time to treat
further images with the same
editing steps. |
Embed your personal
watermark in your images to
prevent unauthorized use. Use
any graphics and text to design
your watermark. These can be
rotated and aligned to suit your
needs. |
