Press Release Body = January, 2006 - AKVIS LLC announces the release of AKVIS
Enhancer V.3.0 for Windows and Macintosh. The new algorithm introduced in v. 3.0
makes this detail-revealing software yet more efficient.

It may happen that a photographer will take a great photo but some details within it
will be lost due to unevenness of exposure; faces may be cast in shadow, or scenery
wiped out by overexposure. Merely manipulating the brightness and contrast of the
whole frame with photo editing software can improve the problem in some portions of
a photo, but might then spoil other areas that need different treatment. Here lies
the strength of AKVIS Enhancer.

AKVIS Enhancer strengthens the difference between adjacent pixels having different
color gradations and reveals details within shadowed, overexposed or mid-tone areas.
Where other similar programs may achieve acceptable results by manipulating two to
four shots of the same scene, AKVIS Enhancer applies advanced algorithms to a single
shot for spectacular outcome.

Most images can be improved at default settings. For further adjustment you have
four parameters at your disposal: Details in Shadows, Details in Highlights, Level
of Detail and Lightness.
The new improved algorithm prevents noise that may appear on a photo after a
dramatic increase in detail. Now the resulting image is sharper and more natural.

The new version of AKVIS Enhancer supports 16 bits per channel. It gives you the
opportunity to process images without losses in quality.

In addition to its appeal to the amateur photographer and home user, AKVIS Enhancer
is a highly useful tool in the production of technical and industrial photographs,
or for revealing subtle details within medical imaging and forensic photos.
