Power Retouche markets 27 Photoshop plugins for photo retouching. The flagships are the sharpener and the Black & White Studio. The sharpness plugin is the first and only sharpening tool on the market that does not create the negative fringes regular unsharp mask creates. It lets you sharpen surfaces and edges separately. The BW Studio converts color to black and white with a full set of professional films to select from, as well as traditional multigrade. It also includes exposure correction and contrast editing. The BW conversion can be controlled with seven sliders representing how the colors of the spectrum are converted to grayscale.
The Golden Section plugins is another popular plugin. It draws the golden sections, the golden spiral and other harmonic divisions on an empty Photoshop layer as an aid in composing and cropping. Another plugin is the White Balance Corrector. The plugin automatically scans the image for the color of the light and then corrects the color of the light to white. The White Balance plugin lets you use common gray-cards for correction, such as WhiBal, Gretag, etc. There is also a new plugin: The Ansel Adams Zone System for Digital. It divides the photo into ten zones, that can be edited individually for exposure, contrast and color.
The Toned Photos Photoshop plugin tones your photo sepia or like any other traditional toned print. There are nine preset tones: Sepia, Van Dyck, Kallitype, Silver Gelatin, Palladium, Platinum, Cyanotype, Light Cyanotype and Silver. Adjust the preset tones, or create your own. It has colored lens-filters for the B/W conversion. The plug-in copies the pigmentation distribution of the traditional toned photos. There is also a nifty plugin for correction of transverse and longitudinal chromatic aberration. In addition there is a special filter for removal of color fringes, in particular the dreaded purple fringe, but all fringe colors can be removed. The purple fringe is different from chromatic aberration in that it is a wide purple fringe that appears along dark edges against a strongly lit background.
The Lens Corrector plugin is for correcting barreling and pincushion as well as panorama photos. Not only symmetric distortions can be corrected, but also asymmetric distortions from a cropped distorted image. Later version of Photoshop can correct symmetric distortions, but not asymmetric or panorama. The plugins correction is unique in that it does not explode the corners. Another plugin is the Soft Filter; it is a digital equivalent of a traditional lens soft filter. You can adjust the strength of the softening as well as the spread of it.
There is a Photoshop plugin for creating realistic film grain. It uses fractal technology to create film grain. Other film grain emulators either generate noise or overlay an image of film grain onto the image. Neither is realistic nor fit all images. Power Retouche lets you edit the size and hardness of the grain. Both black white grain and color grain are available.
Camera lenses create vignetting in photos. Power Retouche offers a plugins to fix this. Not only can the plugin fix the dark corners, but it can also adjust radial exposure and brightness. The hot spot has a special control to set its radius and contrast. Finally we should mention the Black Definition plugin. It gives you control over the black content of colors as if it were a separate color channel like R, G and B. The suite contains more plugins than can be mentioned here.
