Image Processing Tools:

PhotoEQ has three type of image processing tools.

Color correction which adjust white balance, exposure and contrast settings automatically or manually.
Image editing by resizing, cropping, rotating and straightening.
Image enhancement by sharpening and de-noising filters.
Black and white / grey scale conversion tools
Watermarking tools

Color Correction:

PhotoEQ’s automatic color correction algorithm corrects color balance, exposure and contrast problems from original image in single step. White balance, exposure and contrast adjustments are processed as separate layers. This gives full control to fine tune automatic correction intensity and other color correction adjustments.

ColorEQ, to adjust white balance.
Non-linear Exposure
Non-linear Contrast
Adjust color correction intensity. This intensity value adjusts how much pixel color values of edited image are mixed with original image after white balance, exposure and contrast correction.

Image Editing

PhotoEQ has tools and filters for resizing, cropping, rotating, straightening, sharping and de- noising the original image. Image editing in PhotoEQ is non-destructive and layer based operation. Image editing tools and filters can be used together with PhotoEQ’s color correction or separately.

PhotoEQ’s sharpening tool has two method to adjust sharpness of the edited image:

Automatic sharpening filter which enhances image by increasing the sharpness of detected objects contours.
Traditional unsharp masking filter which increases the contrast of the edges between pixels of different colors in an image.
PhotoEQ has automatic noise removing filter and blur filter to remove unwanted noise from edited image. Blur filter performs gaussian blur filtering.

Color Management:

PhotoEQ has support for standard ICC profile based color management and loading and saving embedded ICC profiles. PhotoEQ can convert and render between different color spaces, for example conversion from RGB to CMYK. Color management uses 32 bits precision for processing and support v4 and v2 profiles.

Rendering intents:
PERCEPTUAL
RELATIVE COLORIMETRIC
ABSOLUTE COLORIMETRIC
SATURATION
Blackpoint compensation

Batch Processing

PhotoEQ has todo list for collecting multiple images to one by one processing or for automatic batch processing. After selecting suitable image processing adjustments and output settings for one image file, automatic batch processing will use same settings to process other images from todo list.
