Press Release Summary: Software for noise suppression on digital and scanned images

Press Release Body: November, 2007 - AKVIS LLC presents version 5.0 of AKVIS
Noise Buster for Windows and Macintosh with a new improved algorithm of noise
suppression. Besides, new to version 5.0: Standalone edition of the program made
available; Added a histogram displaying noise level and noise components of the
loaded image; Added support of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard); Added compatibility with
Photoshop Elements 6.0. Registered users can upgrade the software for free.

Whether you get digital images using a digital camera or a scanner, you may often
notice the so-called "noise". It can be seen as grains that compromise the
smoothness of the photo or random red and blue pixels spoiling the color accuracy of
the snap-shot. Such images can be improved with noise removal software. The idea is
to reach balance between removing noise and keeping fine details on a picture.

The new version of AKVIS Noise Buster offers an advanced algorithm of noise removal.
The efficient algorithm allows suppressing visible noise without blurring the edges
of objects. Your photos stay sharp and crisp, while the unwanted artefacts
disappear.
AKVIS Noise Buster reduces both luminance and color noise on digital images without
spoiling other aspects of the photo.

The automatic noise filtering (Auto Filtering preset) usually gives a good result.
The program analyses an image and picks up the best settings on its own. If you are
not quite satisfied with the result, you can adjust the settings.
The histogram introduced in this version allows estimating the noise level and noise
components (color and luminance noise) and helps you decide what parameters should
be tuned.
Separate setting areas for luminance and color noise allow you to deal with each
kind of noise in the most efficient way.
The program tips help you to achieve the best result. Hovering your mouse over a
parameter makes the application display a hint about this setting.

Version 5.0 is available as a standalone application and as a plugin. New to the
version: an improved algorithm, a histogram displaying noise level and noise
components of the loaded image; added support of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard); added
compatibility with Photoshop Elements 6.0.

The plug-in version of Noise Buster offers batch mode that allows improving a series
of photos automatically. Batch processing is time saving when you have to correct a
number of photos taken with the same camera settings in similar circumstances.
AKVIS Noise Buster plug-in is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements,
Corel Photo-Paint, Painter and Paint Shop pro, Ulead Photo-Impact, etc.

The software runs on Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/NT/2003/Vista; and on Macintosh Mac
OS X 10.3.9-10.5.

Registered users can upgrade the software for free. The users who tried the previous
version of Noise Buster and have their version expired, now have an opportunity to
test the software again. Download the program at
