June 3, 2011: French software developer, Oloneo, has announced the immediate availability of Oloneo PhotoEngine v1.0.
Designed for speed and productivity, the new software features a full real-time, high dynamic range (HDR) re-exposure module that enables users to merge and edit single or multiple RAW files, JPEGs or TIFFs. The HDR ToneMap function includes four tone mapping engines for correcting exposures. They can be used automatically or manually to recover details in overexposed areas in a photo, restore low-light areas in underexposed photos while removing noise and create variations in rendering with creative tone mapping.
The HDR ReLight function uses merged RAWs, JPEGs or TIFFs to control the settings of individual light sources after the photos are taken. For each light source, parameters include white balance, brightness, temperature, tint and color. Other features are the auto-detection of ambient light and each light source’s color temperature. HDR DeNoise is a powerful image noise and grain reduction tool that uses stacked RAW files, JPEGs or TIFFs to deliver images with full detail preservation, no smoothing and no artifacts, even with low-contrast and low-light photos.
Photographers now have the ability to select their images directly from within Lightroom 2 or 3, set-up a HDR ToneMap, HDR ReLight or HDR DeNoise project and launch it in PhotoEngine. Once finalised in PhotoEngine, the resulting images can be exported to Adobe Photoshop and other image-processing products for post-editing.
The English/International version of Oloneo PhotoEngine v1.0 for Windows is available now through the Oloneo online store at www.oloneo.com for electronic delivery with a complete English or French user guide. The software sells US$149 or ø¢”š ¬125 (sales tax not included). Additional information on product features, upgrade policies and language versions is available on www.oloneo.com.
