New in Claro 8

Precise management of natural blues, greens and skintones  for publication

In claro 8, sky blues, grass greens and skintones are made to look much closer to reality or to the endusers needs than ever before. Claro specifically recognizes natural greens, blues and skintones in an image and treats those differently from other objects in the same image to obtain even more natural results for both print and electronic display.

Further specific publication-centric adjustments to hue, saturation and brightness settings can now easily be adjusted to the user's specific market needs

Claro Settings Assistant lets you easily control vital image optimization settings 

The new Claro Settings Assistant offers an easy-to-use environment for creating, modifying and personalizing settings, without the immediate and direct need for hands-on, expert setup.
Optimized setting results are immediately displayed in the drag-and-drop interface.Settings are initially created from scratch or imported from the available channels on the production server. After Claro completes analysis and relevant customization, these settings are exported as an xml file, for import into Claro Premedia.

Two important contrast advancements

Preserve contrast in images through an optional brightness correction curve

With standard brightness curve limitations, dark areas are often brightened more than the lighter parts of an image, resulting in lower contrast.By using Claro's optional brightness correction curve, only the image's mid-tones are manipulated, resulting in image brightness adjustment that does not affect the overall contrast of the image.

Isolate contrast manipulation to protect color and hue through "contrast in luminosity-mode"

Contrast manipulation in images often causes unwanted side-effects: such as colors becoming too saturated,  or even complete color changes.To combat these and other problems, claro now offers the advanced "contrast in luminosity mode" feature to isolate contrast manipulation from color manipulation,  and thereby protect color and hue integrity.

Red eye reduction

Claro's newest red eye detection gives you the standard choice to reject, inspect or even immediately correct the red eye.Combined with an extra option to specify that detection is only needed when a flash function has been utilized, optimization errors are reduced significantly.
